The Official #8 Tennessee @ #25 LSU Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Matt2496]

A highschool team would score on this secondary.

 

[Jpcisco]

Could be the game right here. A TD drive before half, with UT getting it after half, pretty much deflates LSU. A 3 and out and it's going to be a dogfight the rest of the way.

 

[Caz]

Our secondary would shine for UT Martin.

Sure about that?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Jayden Daniels will have a 350 yard passing day. Book it!

Nah. 400-425 yards.

 

[Volholic]

Kinda makes you long for the days of 3rd and Chavis, doesn't it....

That worked once in a while

It worked a lot when we had the personnel

 

[joevols89]

Because they are better against the run than against the pass?

Run or pass.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Let's score again!

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Here's where the game can really take a turn. Offense goes down and scores before half and we're all good.

Quick 3 and out and it's gonna get intersting quick.

We really blew a chance on that last possession to put this game away.

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

We were never going to shut them out at home but some of y’all are acting like they just drove in the winning touchdown.

 

[AllVols]

That's ok, we have time to drive the field and score before halftime. Then we have the ball to start the 2nd half. Two scores coming right up.

 

[njvols]

We spent the entire off season working on 3rd down?

 

[17Vols]

LSU got baled out twice that drive by phantom calls. Absolute insanity.

Yeah, funny how they didn’t show that Def holding call

 

[TennVols12]

Not without free agency. Fortunately our front 7 is covering for them.

I agree 100%. Was being sarcastic

 

[AntiochVol81]

3rd and 13 and we give up 17 this defense will be the reason we aren’t better than 8-4 and 9-3 this year

 

[Hank Bukowski]

Drove the length of the field and made it look easy.

Hate to say it but Kamal Hadden #5 is a liability. At least today he is.

 

[joevols89]

There you go legions of miserables. They scored. You should be happy now. Now let’s go get it back on offense.

You’re equally as miserable with this response.

 

[volbound1700]

Welp… this ain’t the 1998 defense. Can’t expect a shutout. Go score.

Our fans are insane if they expected a National Title contending team in year 2 of Heupel. We lost so many players after Pruitt and Heupel only has 1 full recruiting class so far. Give us some time.

We are doing better than expected, enjoy the ride.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Yep. We don't throw slants, and we don't defend them. Ever. We just run WR screens over and over.

What’s it been? 15-20 years and 17 coaching staffs later?

 

[Megatron88]

Offense needs to do their job. Our Secondary couldn’t even stop my Grandma

 

[guido4198]

LSU Ain’t about to roll over. They came back 3 scores down to beat Auburn

 

[BP4Prez]

A halfway decent defense and this is a 34-0 game.

Huh? If you want to put blame on this game being in reach, blame the offense for stalling multiple times.

 

[DaddyChad]

If I’m lsu I’m throwing every damn play unless it’s short yardage

 

[vol94]

Nah, if we play our actual game offensively it’ll be fine. Now if the shut is down again then we should be worried.

I hear ya and hope your right. My concern is Kelly making halftime adjustments and getting to Hooker and disrupting passing routes. Also, those WR screens are thrown in a lot of traffic at times.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Our offensive play calling on the last two drives has hurt us. If we don’t score on 9 out of 10 possessions, we probably lose.

One more is enough

 

[johngunn44]

The slant is always open. i don’t understand why we don’t use it instead of the wr screens
