The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Austin Peay Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

[rocktopper16]

Secondary has regressed. Some. How.

It’s our back ups lmao.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

We didn't throw any 50/50 balls tonight

 

[Caz]

Bad angles and poor tackling and our DB's still look lost

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

Glad the biggest improvement occurs between weeks one and two!

Wait a sec…

 

[TNVOL68]

The ESPN + plus analyst is a praising Banks

 

[jhcrane14]

We have to tackle better. Way too many missed tackles tonight.

 

[theroyz71]

It's going to be an interesting week.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

WHO TF calls Jalen McCullough tank?

Tanks are pretty slow. Just saying…

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Our defense is gassed bc our offense can’t drive the d*** football. I bet apsu has killed us in top and yards

 

[lilesrt]

This defense is not good.

They are sucking eggs.. the offense can’t sustain drives.

 

[chuckb1448]

Barney states that WeSuck

 

[Volfan76]

This is embarrassing.

 

[VolGirl81]

A LOT of missed tackles.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Diliello one tough QB

 

[tnvols72]

This defense is not good.

secondary and we all knew this coming in and I did not expect it to be any better than last years

 

[UTodd01]

Disgraceful officiating these dudes are holding and chopping every single play.

 

[OrangeWave2]

Gators have 212 rushing among 3 RBs right now.....and it ain't even halftime. Deadly!

 

[volbound1700]

Florida is up on McNeese State 27-0 in first half.

 

[CAVPUT]

Awful effort by McDonald.

 

[rocketskates]

I know it’s garbage time but don’t let them score again. 30-20 would make this stink even more

 

[GreyWolf1129]

This...is an 8-4, maybe 7-5 team. It is what it is.

Go Vols.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Not looking good for TN going to the Swamp, Austin Peay is having their way with this defense.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

We are in prevent defense. Good grief
Relax

 

[davethevol]

WHO TF calls Jalen McCullough tank?

The guy who walked into his apartment.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Is this by design? We knew we were going to Win, get by then Open up.... or is this the best we have?

This game has been rarely at the pace TN can run. It's been really slow and really bland play calling. Why? That's for Heupel to answer, but don't hold your breath.

Is it all we have? It's not even Josh Heupel's usual play calls. No. Nowhere near it.
