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

[BreatheUT]

Who can predict the number of sacks GATec gets next week?

Simple. More than the Vols.

 

[connor]

Georgia hasn't lost in like three years at home. They decimated Texas. They're the best team in the country.

i honestly think Bama is the way they’ve been playing

 

[C-south]

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.

No it’s not and it’ll be taken into account

 

[Redleg68]

Quit blaming it on the refs. This is Heupel and Banks.

B#######-- biggest problem offensively is NICO and the receivers are not comfortable with each other. Nico waits till the person is open before throwing. Then the coverage is there quickly because the separation has closed. That is the reason we have very few YAC downfield. Remember Hooker? He was throwing in anticipation of the receiver coming open, thus a lot of YAC. Will be better next year with Nico having some seasoning. Defensively we still do not have that game smart linebacker to get everyone aligned and stop the mis-direction from putting us out of position. Before you say it is on the coaches not recruiting better-remember the hole they started in from the Pruitt fiasco.

 

[I4Vols]

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,

So you want him to get rid of Garner... our D line did not pressure their qb as almost everyone on Vol Nation expected. Or did I miscount on our sack and even real hurries?

The committee won’t see it that way.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Well they said a 10-2 sec team would get in. Guess they weren't thinking of everyone being 10-2

 

[BeardedVol]

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

Oregon had a bad game on the road and still pulled out a win.

That's what good teams do.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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.

I remember Bitch. Fitting name for that guy.

 

[connor]

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

No we don’t we just miss out they will take Ole Miss, Texas, Bama, and Georgia

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Kirby owns Heupel - 2022 he handed CJH’s rear to him . . . The high flying offense that year came to a grinding halt.

Talent is very even now. CJH offense tonight will score 17 . . . And not score in the second half,

Total domination.

We are closing ground, but NO ONE who thinks our 3 deep is close can be seriously taken. We have crept up and they have come back to the pack some this year, but we may never catch up till they screw up with their 4-5 to 1 in state 4-5 star player advantage as a recruiting base.

 

[AthensVol2007]

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

And Bama does? If so, tell me why? If TX loses to AM do they? If so, tell me why?

 

[orangerush]

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

Not going to happen.

 

[jcvol87]

Tennessee is not the bottom of the barrel anymore but are not at the top either. If I had to guess, could see Nico playing the Manning role and shine just enough but once gone the next QB will reap the benefits and get that historic season.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

They’ll give the nod to Ole Miss over us. We had our shot, but just couldn’t make enough big plays to keep ourselves in the game.

I agree. Clearly the phrase they remember what you did in November is very true here. The committee compare Ole beating UGA at HOME compared to Tennessee losing to UGA on ROAD. Is the difference. Meanwhile losing at Arkansas on ROAD is not near as bad as Ole Miss losing to Kentucky at HOME.

[Mustng959]

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

Doubt it and we still have 2 more games to play to get to 10-2. The way Vandy is playing and how we looked tonight, that's not a given.

 

[tbh]

Who in here Is saying that? You claim BYU can beat us....they'd go 5-7 in this league

Would the game be at Neyland or not? Apparently, having a mediocre record doesn't mean they wouldn't beat us, especially outside the 865 area code.

 

[allstar34bd]

And Bama does? If so, tell me why? If TX loses to AM do they? If so, tell me why?

You can watch any Tennessee Game and see they are at the bottom of the pack of 2 Loss Teams. Take off the orange glasses.

 

[patrick]

Horrible defensive game plan and offensive game plan.

Elarbee and Hazle should not have the jobs they have. Just fn horrible.

 

[C-south]

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

What are you smoking? This was an elimination game for us.

 

[SmokeyLives]

Can we compete against Texas, Oregon, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Ole Miss? I wanna say yes but the answer is no. CJH has this conservative mentality since Oklahoma and it doesn’t work. We were scraping to barely beat Florida and Kentucky. Defense is great against the bottom feeders but not so much against the powerhouses. Our linebackers are slow and our offensive strategy sucks. Let your horses run Josh. Seriously, was it Milton, or do we really need to reevaluate the OC? So many frustrating thoughts and questions. Looks like the Outback Bowl for Tennessee, or the Citrus.

 

[VolCalls]

The Vols will win tonight. I am certain of it.

We did it!

 

[PerryCountyVol]

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

Well we could put jalin Hyatt or patterson out there right now and they wouldn't have success so I don't see your point. And if you go back and look, pope was Hyatts coach in 22 and are you saying he didn't improve? I'll wait for your reply

 

[BigALWiLson]

He didn’t complete a pass for more than 20 yards. You will not beat the elite teams with that type play.

Show me more than once they got open. Our route trees are sh1t
