Man I feel for the defense. Very few, if any, teams can play 40+ minutes on defense every fricken game. I only hope that the Vols can outscore them.

If they can get 1 more stop that we turn into 7 I think it'd give some breathing room. Not confident in that happening.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Time of possession is nearly meaningless in modern football.

Tell the defense that.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Just not gonna toss that flag in the back field for holding eh

 

[oz615]

Where was the holding at again?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Yet another egregious hold

 

[malibuvol]

Martinez needs to be fired NOW...

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Nice comments about coaching and players’ buy-in.

 

[Orange defense]

Here we go again!

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Jeez, we had him for a yard loss.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Make the tackle.

 

[Switch 625]

Every receive is wide open on every play

 

[Other_Guy]

If the defense is going to get gassed and still allow a TD why don't they play the secondary up tight and if they beat them on a deep ball... that actually benefits them?

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Awful missed holding call on KY that first play

51 had a hand full of jersey on the Blitzer

 

[Birdie]

They turn every loss or no gain into 3-5yds

 

[House of Neyland]

Def wouldn’t depend on our D to win this game

 

[Zues1]

Can you imagine being married to Beth.

[Larkin]

our guys really need to learn how to tackle. Yards after contact is atrocious.

 

[lilesrt]

I’m not so sure our offense didn’t play a role in Walter Nolen committing to TAMU. The big boys on defense are tired.

 

[firestorm]

Get a stop Volunteers defense

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Terrible. Had a guy run right past the RB In the backfield. What are we doing?

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Now if the defense can get a quick turnover. The longer the drive goes geez we know we cant get a bend but dont break. We definitely break.

 

[GhostVol]

Has the announcing changed in favor of one team or the other?

Hmmm..... I think so....

 

[OrangeFrog]

Somehow we rank nationally in TFLs but tonight can't seem to bring a guy down that we meet in the backfield

 

[Orange defense]

Had him at the line, and couldn’t get him!

 

[Sarms58]

Hope the D can give the offense a rest..
