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

[ReadCT]

Did anyone really believe LSU was not going to score today??? Please link your post from the predictions thread.

Come on... this is good so far.

 

[TheMRIguy]

I’d just down the ball on 1st and 2nd down if I was LSU…I’m dead serious.

 

[LucidZ]

We know our defense isn't exactly great, but they only got 7 in the first half. That's not bad. It's not the end of the world.

 

[Dudleys87]

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

If CJH would get out of his own way this game wouldn’t be close already but he continues to try and slow things down

 

[patrick]

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

I guess you haven’t notice but LSU has scored one - count it - one TD.

 

[Zues1]

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

With a loss

 

[SALAMANDER DRAKE]

3rd and Chavis now 3rd and Banks

 

[C-south]

What do they call it when you do the same s*** but expect a different result?

 

[865er]

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

Pretty sure it takes a half way decent defense to keep a top 25 SEC team scoreless until 3 minutes in first half right?

 

[joevols89]

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.

I think lsu has already adjusted their defense tbh.

 

[TennVols12]

Bc we have kids that can’t cover, tackle, or stay on their feet. It’s amazing how terrible some of these kids are. We’re literally more likely to defend third and 1 than third and 15

This!!!! We don’t have the Joe’s. We literally had the worst roster situation in the entire country when Huep took over.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Nope

LSU has figured out they don't need to run the ball to move it down the field. Fixing to find out if their Defense has us figured out on O. We always always start fast under Heupel and fizzle out as the game goes.

 

[sunnyvol79]

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.

15 years of BVS

 

[jmacvols1]

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

The offense is not the problem here.

 

[chuckb1448]

Wish we would run slants on offense, the middle of the field is open.

Its always open if they would just use it, LSU is setting up for the quick passes to the flat

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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.

I agree with this but I think it’s reasonable for people to be upset about this defensive performance - the faces may change but it’s the same results. It’s a head scratcher all around.

 

[Dudleys87]

We know our defense is exactly great, but they only got 7 in the first half. That's not bad. It's not the end of the world.

Dress it up any way you want but it’s as bad as it gets

 

[BallerVolFan]

27-7 at half and I’m back to feeling great!

 

[90 Vol]

Need to respond here. LSU is a good team. They were going to score eventually. We need touchdowns.

This. LSU has come from behind twice this season. They’re not going to quit which means we can’t afford to coast. We need to step on their throat.

 

[Allvols98]

Worried about the refs and their qb finding rhythm.

We can still win. Just score more than they do.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

*sigh*

Gotta not let that kinda thing through


Well. Gotta go get another TD before half to make sure they go into the locker room with NO HOPE

Definitely need to answer with a TD here and get the ball in the second half.

These guys spent most of the first half hanging around against Auburn last week.

 

[lawgator1]

I like your uniforms.

 

[DaddyChad]

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

Don’t put this on the Dline or lbers. Dline is good, lbers are decent. Secondary is freaking awful and have been all year. Just pathetic

 

[hndog609]

I doubt there's a person on this board, given our defense, if told LSU wouldn't score until just before the half wouldn't have been happy. We should have more than 20 though.

 

[rocketskates]

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

Right. Without decent defense this is only a 3 point game right now. Need a touchdown here.
