The Official Tennessee @ #8 Alabama Game Thread, 3:30pm ET, CBS

[GLDunlap]

Down 5 with 2:24 on the clock and you only have two times outs and you run it up the gut on 1st down on your own 25.

Seriously?

Amazingly stupid but it's our standard go to 1st down play. I still think DeBord is a moron. Last series was a cluster****. Standard straight drop so Dobbs is a sitting duck. No roll out no screens blah blah blah

 

[peyton4heisman]

Not to rain on the moral victory party but Dooley was a fg away from beating Bama at Tuscaloosa.

If u merely compare results...CBJ has been no better than Dooley. I know results don't matter to many...but they sure as hell mattered when Fulmer dared to lose a few games.

Not to rain on your raining on our moral victory but it was Kiffy, NOT Dools. Betcha feel kinda dumb now

 

[minorvol]

In not getting down.
Alabama was lucky. Got to fix the kicking issue's
We had a chance to win when no one gave us a chance.
Go Vols!

Spot on. We are a good team and still learning how to win. I'm tired of moral victories but I thought the coaching was solid. You can't leave 9 points on the field. Got to find a kicker.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Screw chance hall

You wont be saying that in the next three years. The kid will be good. He will be motivated by this moment.

 

[ecs4dvols]

We need a new kicker... having a 50% kicker doesn't even work in high school.. that's all.. goodnight

I thought that was Kiffin. In Knoxville.

 

[catchnburn]

Please just shut the F up!

Exactly. That one play cost us the game. Some Grade A morans in here!

 

[Sin City Vol]

Some of you need to STFU!!! This team played their ass off and had a chance against the best team in the country. Started 2 true freshman OL was missing one of their best WR. If you don't appreciate the effort and heart these kids gave then go follow someone else.

 

[KBVol]

It's so hard being a vol fan.

But I love them.

It's damn near impossible.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Well we should be 7-0. Think about that

Could be 7-0..... Big difference

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I'm at the game so I won't see any responses. You can send any well-earned trash talk tomorrow. But:

UT outplayed Bama today. Period. Anyone who rips your players pr coaches is freaking crazy. Good on Tennessee. They will win out, no doubt in my mind.

Bamawriter has one of the most reasonable posts in the entire thread.

 

[YankeeVol]

That and $4.00 will get you a tall coffee at Starbucks.

Or 4 chances at the Mega Millions jackpot.

 

[BigOrangeD]

When its 2:24 left in the game and we have 1st and 10 on our 20 with 2 TOs left ... what dumbass calls a run right up the middle for 0 yds.

I'd like some coach to stand up and take responsibility for that game-losing play.

Bama was looking for pass all the way. If Hurd could have busted that one, It could have been a big play and there was enough time with 2 time outs to go.

 

[BornAVol1963]

How many yards rushing for Hurd, today?

Ummm that was Kiffin. I've seen some stupid remarks on this board but I would like to single that one out for being the dumbest.

 

[TaintSafari]

Debord has no clue what to do against a blitzing d. Slants, a designed bootleg--anything to not have Dobbs swarmed in 2 seconds.

 

[Voldemonium]

This offense would be so much better if Debord would repeat and memorize the following.

"Dobbs is not a drop back pocket passer."

Good game by the Vols but that last drive w/ 2min left was piss poor.

 

[Volnbeers]

50 yarders are automatic in NCAA. Bama Fgs both inside 30 yards. If Medley mised three gimmes its one thing but all of those fgs were from distance.

all three had the distance but weren't in the same area code of the goal posts.

I'd give him more slack if he was even remotely close or if this was a reoccuring theme.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

kentucky. Missouri.

gtfo.

 

[VolunteerTitan3]

I judt wish we had a jeff hall or wilhoit at this point. Damn my heart hurts...

 

[butchna]

This was the best coached and best played game of the year. If you can't be proud of the team after that, get out. None of you gave them a chance today.

They were fighting about how bad of a beating Tennessee would take.

 

[sour01]

Cut it out haters!! I'm proud of those boys. 2 years ago I left T-town at the half. We've been in every game. Headed in the right direction. Go Big Orange!!!

 

[VOLinAL]

99% of you all gave us 0 chance to even keep it close. We led a 4 play drive to take the lead with 6 minutes left and still had a chance to comeback in that last drive.

I'm proud of the Vols. Great effort by each and every one of them. And for all of you all giving Medley hell...he missed 50 yarders. He's not an NFL kicker.

GBO...finish out the rest with W's!

Ya but is it sad that even when we scored I knew Bama was going to score again. 99% of fans knew we would need another drive. The players played a great game but we just have no depth and our O Coord is below average.

Yeah a WR that caught 4 passes this year dropped a dozen

 

[MySourceSaid]

That's his job! Should all field goals be 15 yds? Maybe I should try out!

Its not a kickers job to have to kick 50's all day no. He shouldnt have been put into that position 3 times.
