The Official #8 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

[Vol737]

Do we have a 3rd and 14 play?

Yes! Up the middle for 3-5 yds. Works great, lasts a long time.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Good lord. I get out of a special event we had at our Bible service and get in car and hear this. Geez.

 

[Golfprovol]

I have no words for this disaster start… except unprepared.

Damn CJH for fumbling and not making a tackle on the kckoff....

 

[Sarms58]

How about just a nice 15 yard completiion…Vandy’s weakness is their pass defense

 

[Pcvols80]

Put a bunch of walk ons kick off team

 

[Larkin]

If we get close, we need to for it on fourth

 

[tntornadox]

What we gonna call up boys? Draw up the middle? They'll never see that one coming!

 

[dduncan4163]

Yes, run Sampson up the middle for a 2 yard gain.

THey'll never see it coming

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

We still have hope

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Look, I know we can crush this Vandy team if we wake up and play like we can but WHY do we always seem to have these slow sluggish idiot level starts when we have so much on the line?

I’m beginning to think the players just don’t care. The level of want to has really regressed since the Bama game.

 

[sechamp2012]

I'm not saying "Fahr Hypul" if we lose, but we have GOT to examine why we fold in big games, especially on the road.

This game is simple to figure so far KO team that hardly ever defends a KO 80% are TBs bad coverage. Fumble in their end field 14-0. UGA was down 17-0 & didn’t flinch.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Do we have a 3rd and 14 play?

Run Sampson up the middle?

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

Weak predictable playcalling as usual. Some 4 or 5 plays over and over.. This will be a turning point for Heupel if they can’t win this game

 

[Vol4lif3]

Josh heupel overated

 

[posivol]

qb draw

 

[BJSforVols]

It is 100% a trap game.
Blowout win last week,
Playing against Vanderbilt with the whole world talking about what seed the Vols are gonna be in the playoffs.
Vanderbilt is playing with house money because they are bowl-eligible, which is a rarity, and are glad to be so.
It’s a trap game.

No, it's not. Vandy is not the same ole Vandy. We continue to play undisciplined, and Vandy is good enough to take advantage of that this year.

 

[PC Jr.]

I’m not worried yet. The team does need points on this drive. The continued mental errors are an indictment on the staff. False start? Loss of contain twice which gave up the kick return and the TD, are fundamental mistakes. I still think the Vols get it done.

Here comes a screen play.



Edit- glad I was wrong! Vandy D was playing against short routes.

 

[volnbama_]

No, it’s the same **** different day thing that if he doesn’t get over will get him fired! We have seen this time and time again, USC in 2022, sticking with a terrible QB with Milton last year and so we end up with 4 losses. This year with a crappy game plan against a bad Arkansas team and absolutely schooled by Kirby Dumb who we made an idiot QB look like a Heisman finalist again. Come out today ill prepared and looking like crap! He loses this game today with a playoff on the line, I’d be fine to have him walk his ass back to Knoxville and clear out his office. Offense is his calling card and they have looked like crap for most the year, we play undisciplined football every game with tons of penalities and we lose games we are supposed to win with stuff on the line!

he picks the coaches and our special team have really been special! His offense also is predictable as hell and is terrible yet his calling card! Also crapping the bed with something on the line is his calling card! He owns this and if they get beat today with a playoff on the line he can walk his ass back to Knoxville

let the game play out first. It’s early

Post of the year. Who were we kidding??

 

[FranklinVFL]

They are in 3-5-3 which is what everyone has played against us, and we haven't adjusted to. I'm still gonna blame halzle

Nothing different. Our offensive genius just has not figured out how to alter his game plan to take advantage of these weaknesses.

Idiotic. Just idiotic.

 

[deezvols]

Man what a joke we are. Ready to shift completely to basketball.

I miss being fun to watch already

All the hype this offseason with him was a farce. LSU fans were very happy to see him transfer

Over the Sanders recruiting thread several posters were singing the praises of Heard. I was like, have you watched TN play football this season.
