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

[NOLAPhil]

We had a great season and I hope we play some "blue blood" from the big 10 and kill them in the bowl

 

[SamuraiVol74]

Is this loss maddening? Absolutely, but I will take a "should be" 10-win Vol season every year. Remember Dooley, Lane, Bitch, and Pruitt? This program is light years ahead of that bastardized monstrosity. I still support Heupel. I wish he would make some changes on the coaching staff. Halzle, Elarbee, and Martinez all should find new employment next season. I am not throwing Banks in there, because I believe he will check himself out of UT.

 

[tbh]

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

Maybe not, Herbstreit's suckhole is vacuum-sealed around them.

 

[adam.vol]

He is without a doubt, but UGA has 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.

Heupel learned to call a game from Oklahoma’s standing as a Big 12 darling. He doesn’t know what to make of the SEC’s cooking. He never had to overcome being an unwanted underdog.

 

[Andrew8210]

I'm still not totally sold on Oregon. I think there are 2 or 3 SEC teams that are better than Oregon.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

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

I completely disagree with you mf’r. Did you watch this game?

 

[allstar34bd]

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

Once again, you’ve can’t have a 12 Team Playoff with 12 SEC Teams. They have rules in place.

 

[TNVOLnTX]

4 years under Hype and still not elite.

No one realistically expected to be elite this soon. If you did, then your ignorant to reality.

 

[87&91ALUM]

I hope we can beat Vandy...maybe we will get lucky and teams in the playoff will lose.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Chris Fowler can finally remove the kneepads.

And stick them where the sun doesn't shine

 

[BradstarVols]

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?

I personally didn't say not even close lol. But, they have 2 losses. I don't think they are the best team in the country but definitely top five.

 

[vol94]

QB cannot move before the ball is snapped like that- he would have to be re-set. The "rules analyst" has been a ****ing moron all night, anyway.

Not sure about rule. But I just read QB can’t make such a movement under center. I couldn’t locate anything regarding shot gun.

It doesn’t matter. We the bed once again on the road. I’m so disheartened as GA isn’t 14 points better than us. We got out coached on both sides of the ball. That’s what bothers me.

 

[volmoon]

14-0 second half.

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,

you forgot Bama win

 

[iVolSoHard]

Our QB and WR play/development has not been up to par all season. Nico struggles and we don't have the requisite talent level at WR.

 

[BeardedVol]

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.

Georgia adjusted and was getting pressure on Nico with 3 dlinemen, and Heupel had no answer for that adjustment.

Kirby is a better defensive HC than Heupel is an offensive HC.

 

[Mustng959]

I don’t think so.

We don't have a shot at the 12 team playoffs and frankly don't deserve to be. We were outcoached, outplayed, outthought, outmanned, etc. Get on the bus boys.

 

[Vol737]

Brent Vinables may not make it past next year at Oklahoma. I'd take him everyday and twice on Sunday over Banks.

We (Tennessee/Heupel) are stupid if they don’t talk to the man. I’ve seen enough of this secondary. There is talent back there, but they’re not good against decent teams.

 

[hardyemt_p]

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

If they scratch Herby and Kirby's balls than they have a chance

 

[BigALWiLson]

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

Why ? Do we have a single WR that has gotten better over the last two years ? I will wait

 

[ETV]

This one hurts. 8 in a row over UT.

 

[Majors]

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

Pearce offsides call and no pressure by him and no sacks by any of them allowed UGA to let the TEs look like Bowers.

 

[C-south]

We have been a top 10 team this season bc of Huep and Banks. Quit being a little girl we lost on the road to Georgia in a night game. The sky isn’t falling quit crying

We also had one of the weakest schedules.

 

[WiseOlVol]

At 10-2 we get in the CFP and an easy draw to the 2nd round.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Maybe not, Herbstreit's suckhole is vacuum-sealed around them.

 

[vavolfan6]

You are out of your mind with the Vol glasses on.
The officiating was garbage for sure, but there is only one thing on the field that cost Tennessee this game.........the defensive side of the football (no adjustments, no answer for tight end plays, no pressure, no creativity).

The defebsive side was trash the 2nd half. But you fail to see how everything is connected. You are looking at the game in quarters, isolated from each other.

If Beck never gets in rythm from the refs saving him, its a different game. There were also some lucky bounces. Dumb incompletion that philosophically was a fumble. A fumble the next play recovered by Georgia for a 10 yard gain. Dumb Free plays where Beck gets a free throw. No holding calls.

This just in the 1st half which allowed Beck to continue long drives when otherwise they would have been dead. He built confidence over time. Our defense began to get gassed.

This all had an affect on the result of the 4th quarter. Sure, we looked overwhelmed abd outclassed by then. But the deed had already been done..
