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

[Enigmatic_Vol]

Defense can't get off the damn field.

 

[advancedrescue27]

Is it just me or does it appear as tho TN players have zero emotion while Vandy is fired up? I feel like I’m watching a kids t-ball team that’s only there because their parents signed them up, and they are just tossing their glove up in the air in the outfield.

 

[Sarms58]

I'm losing trust in Heup. Play calling is so bad, unprepared and unmotivated to start every game. Piss poor decision making

Execution is poor…

 

[BigALWiLson]

The pitch on 4th would have been a first and maybe 6.

It was a designed run you dumb ass

 

[JohnWardForever]

Vandy is just better. They woulda beaten UT at Knoxville. Tennessee with everything on the line, stinking it up. A Kick return TD, said it all. OMG.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I think A. Carter gets out of position too often

Finally! Use the middle

 

[Deebowbear]

We are getting whipped on both sides of the ball ashamed.

 

[voljerm]

This reminds me of the Kentucky game where the 3rd string Qb beat us. Defense doesn't have any fight. Offense has no urgency. I am starting to think they don't want the headache of the playoffs.

 

[OrangeTsar]

We got that one touchdown and thought we were back in control. Took foot off the gas. Urgency on every play guys!!!!

 

[CheggerboardVol]

He’s not a big game winning coach. 2yrs in a row can’t get his offense to work

Time to quit pumping up his head with praise and start calling it like it is

He’s peaked. He got us stability, thanks but find us a coach that don’t lose to teams we are supposed to beat

 

[volmoon]

TN looks average. Vandy looks hungry.

 

[JBVolunteer]

When has a Josh Heupel team ever played its best football in November? Team always peaks early and hopes to survive November…

 

[Sarms58]

Definitely

 

[CoachClick]

One of several coaches that need to hit the road.

Heupel won't fire anyone so.

 

[Majors]

6 not getting the ball may be why he’s not considered the best RB in the nation. Jeanty gets that 10 out of 10 times.

 

[valoisvol]

Two turnovers in the game. We don’t deserve to win this game. We were the fake team.

Two turnovers in the first quarter game not over yet. There will be more

 

[rocketskates]

Hated it when football switched to a 1 quarter game

Normally I’d agree with you, but they are just whipping us in all phases of the game. Unless we figure something out really quick it’s gonna be 24-17 and they will just shorten the game with long possessions. We act like we are playing for a spot in the WeedWhacker Bowl, not a playoff spot. I’d go as far to say that this could get ugly really quick.

 

[Frozevol]

What is happening??!!

We’re getting out ass handed to us.

 

[JMSqb11]

I'm losing trust in Heup. Play calling is so bad, unprepared and unmotivated to start every game. Piss poor decision making

He just needs to quit overthinking things. Often times he seems like he is pressing to come up with a 10 point play to tie it up when he’s behind the scoreboard.

 

[Dudleys87]

I bet this is how UGA felt last night against GT.

They mentioned it last night

Tennessee is lucky they don’t play GT.

I wouldn’t want to see that game, be at the game, or watch it.

 

[brubaker]

Heupel is another Butch Jones with his stupid play calling. Such a waste of talent. Golesh was it

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Cant wait to hear Danny White's car salesman pitch to try and validate $400 nosebleed tickets next year

 

[TheVolsFrog]

He's right. The play where Sampson was blown up in the backfield, Nico should've seen the blitzing linebacker and kept the ball himself. He has zero feel for the game at all.

Yeah he should've pulled that one for sure

 

[SmokeyLives]

Who’s ready to pay those extra “player performance tax” prices? Same freaking game plan every week. Same play from behind mentality. Heupel reached his coaching ceiling 2 years ago? Looks like it. This is a pitiful and embarrassing performance.

edit: one day later, egg on my face in fact all over and I deserve it for such a reactionary comment. Lesson learned!? Again!?

 

[dduncan4163]

We have so much to play for and Vandy still wants it more than us.

And thats what pisses me off the most. This falls on the coaches.
