The Official Johnny Majors Classic Game Thread: #24 Tennessee @ #17 Pittsburgh, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

Agreed. Heupel has called a solid game. I know it’s not the popular opinion, but we’ve had several dropped passes, a lost fumble, multiple penalties. Just sloppy play. If executed properly, we are winning by 3 scores right now.

I hear ya. When i see the shenanigans in some of these games and knowing the state Gump left the program in, I refuse to blame any of the coaches. Let’s see some star talent and complete recruiting cycles before we get mad at coaches. To me, our coaches cover for the lack of talent and inconsistency our players have.

Beer helps

Very concerning game for the rest of the season

Well, we got Akron next week, so maybe we can clean things up b4 Florida

This reminds me of the Dooley years. A comedy of errors that eventually leads to the envitiable.

 

[jbarnes6]

Blocked punt, muffed punt, and a fumble. Yet our defense has still only allowed 20 points and has a shot at getting off the field again. Loving it.

You're loving this! Masochist..

 

[VolMarine1371]

Im referring to the blocked punt, fumble by Small, and now the punt fumble. Every return man knows not to position his hands that way to field a punt.

You right!!

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Said 8and 4 since last season.

Assuming we manage to somehow win this game...we will still lose 4 games.

First time since Heupel been in Knoxville that I felt like he was out coached. He is playing tight and not to loose.

Playcalling hasnt been bad. Just ****** execution by our offense

 

[OrangeSquid]

Don’t make me break out the whiskey already

Slow Poke!

 

[TennVols12]

His dad died today

Yeah, I do feel for him. Can’t imagine his mind right now

 

[Volfan2012]

How many fumbles are we going to make in this game?

 

[UTK]

The amount of mistakes shows this team isn’t ready to take the next step regardless of the results of this game. We’d be getting smoked if Pitts QB didn’t go out

 

[alavolfan]

Goodness. Is Pitt this good or are we that bad?

We just don’t seem like we were prepared to play TN football today. Offense and special teams, and the defense early. Puzzling. Hopefully we win this thing.

 

[Orange defense]

We have got to find a way to win this, and get out of here.

 

[Sivad]

Can’t stand much more of this. Just kicked the grandson’s chair. Glad he wasn’t in it

 

[BigOrangePaddy]

I’m not saying we haven’t been but Heupel didn’t muff the punt

Heupel calling a really bad game so far.

 

[VFL1127]

This game is killing me. So many mistakes on both sides of the ball.

 

[Sara Clark]

I don't know, maybe the team bought in to all the preseason hype, Maybe they need to be humbled.

 

[njvols]

SPECIAL TEAMS IS AN ABOMINATION

Fortunately Pitt has been worse…so far

Let's just win. Bad win is still a win Hoss

 

[VFL28]

Well, we got Akron next week, so maybe we can clean things up b4 Florida

Florida is going to take our lunch. I hate to say it.

I’ve lost probably 11 years watching just the game alone.

 

[Strateegery]

Wow…can we F ourselves enough?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

You know I've noticed that the first two games he's been very statue-like. Seeing all he did with his legs last year it's just odd.

He seemed elusive in the 1st half but very statuesque the 2nd

 

[BluetickVol01]

3rd Q play calling cost us this one and that’s on Head Coach Cough Man
