The Official #5 Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[tdd]

Over 60 points to an abysmal team.

Can you believe that. Wow

 

[Stephen Gray]

This game better stick in Coach Heupel's craw......

For a VERY long time

I want to hear from him Monday..... "Never again"

Definitely this game has to be learned from. This shouldn’t have happened and while we will have more bad nights in future games and seasons, this sort of performance has to be very very rare. If you start doing this with any regularity it can sink entire teams and staffs.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

Tough one tonight Vols. I'm shocked

 

[TWilson]

Did any defensive schemes come to mind???

Probably something along the lines of BLITZ and DON'T ALLOW 10 YARD CUSHIONS. Then again, those aren't exactly genius concepts for what we saw tonight....

 

[jmacvols1]

Gonna have to recruit better defensive coaches

Only so much good coaches can do with bad players.

"Tennessee looks set to become just the 2nd team ever to be ranked #1 in a CFP ranking and miss the College Football Playoff."

^^^ Spoken in a way which fails to emphasize that this isn't an event of historic significance. The CFP has only been around since 2014.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Well, I can go back to hoping GA loses. Go LSU!!!

 

[Cartervol]

Specifically the defense, offense played well. Bad defense made the offense less effective.

Made them have to play perfect and they weren't. You have to have some defense on the road..

 

[JMSqb11]

Music City? Ending the season with 3 losses in the last 4 games sinks is pretty far.

I joked about this a week or two ago. I hope we don’t wind up in Nashville

 

[Cartervol]

Well, I can go back to hoping GA loses. Go LSU!!!

Don't matter now. Go Tigers.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

This reminds me of that home loss to UGA back in 02 I believe where Fulmer apologized to the fan base after the game. It was 42-10

 

[SAPPER 5]

You gotta love college football. Didn't we storm the field after beating USC Jr when Clowney was there? 2013 maybe?

Yeah, we were crap, and they were #9.

 

[C-south]

Can you believe that. Wow

It’s like our defense has no clue. They attacked our weaknesses and we had zero answer.

 

[TWilson]

The defense should have to walk back to Knoxville. Speaking metaphorically of course but damn!

Nah, drag them behind the bus. It's what SC did all night, so they'll be used to it.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Can we place Haden in the portal?

He was annoying as hell ... on top of not covering anyone.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Hadden got toasted repeatedly but kept mouthing off.....

I seriously hope Heupel makes him run 'til he pukes

Yeah, that's not a classy move on Hadden's part.

 

[MeanOrange]

I forget, but isn’t there some medicine that turns your pee to red or orange? I can’t remember what it is for but I vaguely remember something like that

I know what you are talking about. Its for when you have a burning sensation when you pee (possible infection). Can't think of the name either.

 

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

I'm 58, and this is the worst loss of my life

Worse than LSU in 2001 for a shot at Miami and all the marbles?

 

[MDsweetT]

It just doesn’t make sense to put up this effort tonight with everything to play for. I’ll never understand college football.

Where else in society do we trust 17-24 year olds to make great decisions and not anger us as adults but yeah I get what you mean percent. We walked in thinking SC wouldn’t be ready and we could win on reputation alone.

We don’t have Georgia talent. We can’t sleepwalk through an entire game and give up 63….this one is hard to fathom.

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

^^^ Spoken in a way which fails to emphasize that this isn't an event of historic significance. The CFP has only been around since 2014.

Yet it still sucks and you're an idiot if you don't think it will be of significant at some point in the near future.

 

[C-south]

It’s hilarious we all sat around and watched teams that should’ve lost all day and we lost to a garbage team.

 

[Volholic]

I'm 58, and this is the worst loss of my life

Nah this ain’t worse than FL dropping 63 on is at home after we are leading at halftime. That team actually had a defense.

 

[nomads-11]

That matter much tonight?

No but I feel better . SC wanted more, and got it. The Defense finally got exposed. You can't hide for this long in the SEC and not get exposed. It started a bit with GA.

 

[SmashMouth]

Step back from the ledge, sir.

Vandy can smell it....and we both know we are giving it up..right

SCar doesn’t have GA talent either, but yet they kicked our butts all over the field.
