The Official #7 Tennessee @ #12 Georgia Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[BradstarVols]

I don’t drink. I also don’t believe in participation trophies. Do you want to just get given a spot in the playoffs to get your ass beat by BYU?

lol Tennessee would roll BYU. Their lines would get mauled. They just have the luxury of a weak schedule.

 

[VOLinAL]

Nah. We stopped numerous drives that were continued bc of phantom calls. Later on they would score. We don’t get those same calls. Numerous holds not called. Fumbles. Numerous PIs. Point is they controlled the game. We did enough, but the refs gave them their points by extending their drives

Completely disagree. They may have missed calls but not why we lost.

 

[charleyhorse]

Our linebackers are very slow

Clueless

 

[BradstarVols]

Where was the playcalling from the first quarter the rest of the game? We made UGA pay with using our TE’s and mixing in runs. Sampson was his usual self, Lewis looked really good until he just disappeared. We stopped doing anything with our WR’s like we did in the first and just went back to the same anemic and mind boggling offense that doesn’t seem like it could be possible under Heupel.

And the defense. Don’t know what Banks was doing, but it was a departure from what we’ve seen the rest of the year. UGA is good, but not that good. We had a punchers chance and came in and crapped the bed.

My exact questions regarding the offense. And where did the tempo go that was used all first quarter?

 

[tnvols72]

well hope we get in at 10--2

If they do they will be one and done

Chris Fowler can finally remove the kneepads.

Nah, he’s putting his helmet on now and ready for a long night to express his love in Athens.

This. The refs gifted them the 14 points that they won by with phantom calls or no calls that extended drives. And I rarely say that the refs “cost” us a game. But c’mon.

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Get rid of him completely and the wr coach

I agree on Hazle but I'll hold judgement on pope for 1 more season

 

[Volsfannn]

Smiley douche bag at that. I bet he plays with Kirby's balls

Him and herbstreit fight over kirbys sack

 

[allstar34bd]

We would destroy BYU ..why can't people realize the SEC is loaded and UGA has another gear when they want to

Then WIN THE DAMN SEC GAMES. it’s not the College Football SEC playoffs. Get over it. We don’t deserve to make it. Stop your whining. The Vols have beat expectations this year. They are NOT a playoff team

 

[hardyemt_p]

Head to head don't mean a thing when it's Bama. You know Bama is jumping UT Tuesday. That last TD makes it look like a blow out, that is all the committee will see. UT will drop big time. UF beat LSU that might help a little bit.

15 or so is what I expect

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Kirby Smart is a jackass. Reminds me of Dabo Sweeney, without a moral compass.

He is without a doubt, but UGA had a great game plan and executed it. I'm honestly wondering what game film Banks was watching this week. And Heupel seems to be coaching scared, especially on the road.

 

[Sarms58]

We can script a good quarter of offense and then…..

We punched them in the mouth but they were able to withstand it…they are a pretty good team.

But I’m proud of how hard our guys played. I don’t think we’ve been close to Georgia in the 4th quarter since Dobbs. Hopefully we regroup and finish 10-2.

 

[Volbrando]

Had them 10-0 then we get outscored 31-7. Unreal.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Loser

Sorry you’re mad but I haven’t said one incorrect thing all night.

 

[DeadVols]

lol. no they aren’t. not even close

Lol no they aren't

Not even close? Jeez, aren't y'all temperamental. Biggest collection of 5-star dudes with the best arm-talent at the collegiate level. Beck's a head-case, but damned if he ain't the best arm-talent in CFB. They're quite good. So, not even close?

 

[VolFanGBO]

This is on a national championship winning coach at

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

My exact questions regarding the offense. And where did the tempo go that was used all first quarter?

Yes, the tempo we saw in 1Q felt like the 2022 offense was back. Until we just stopped with that too.

 

[Majors]

Questionable calls favored one team in opportunistic times to continue drives.

 

[hardyemt_p]

[87&91ALUM]

That's it....goodbye playoffs

 

[I4Vols]

Costly things tonight:

Not covering nor adjusting to TE’s
Refs gifted penalty drive to UGA
Thornton’s drop
No pressure from D-line
Bringing the ball out on the kickoff after they score AND getting a penalty

Where is Brazzel?
I know Thornton is banged up but was a no show

We just lack a play maker at WR

I'll take Door # 4 for a difference maker ...

 

[KeyVol14]

Then WIN THE DAMN SEC GAMES. it’s not the College Football SEC playoffs. Get over it. We don’t deserve to make it. Stop your whining. The Vols have beat expectations this year. They are NOT a playoff team

At the end of the regular season, 6 teams will have 10 wins in the conference....did you forget we beat Bama and UF this year. Goodness gracious...the fact that you think BYU would stand a chance against us is hilarious

 

[jcvol87]

Completely disagree. They may have missed calls but not why we lost.

It didn’t help but lack of pressure on Beck is main reason for this loss, anybody with an arm that can throw will look good when there is all the time in the world to throw it

White Danny can scrap that first round playoff game seating chart in Neyland, get the big orange spin machine excited for the Las Vegas Bowl (Vanderbilt will go to the Liberty Bowl)(played in the Citrus Bowl last year)

Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss will represent the conference well in the playoffs,

Wins over Oklahoma, Miss State, Kentucky, Florida and hopefully Vanderbilt just don't get it at this level, in retrospect, aside from Georgia and Alabama, we played a fairly soft SEC schedule and an even softer non conference schedule.

Hopefully, Heupel and White Danny see the glaring gaps in the program which, if not addressed, will result in a 10-2 record most years at best, moving to the next level in the SEC, will require SEC caliber coordinators and position coaches, talent is good, but not developing and improving, nor is the team improving throughout the year,

Good god ole miss played nobody but Georgia , Texas played nobody but Georgia , we beat bama. Our resume is just as good as ole miss , bama and better than 3 or 4 teams ahead of us.
