I can’t even do this

Wow we suck

 

[AustinMem]

Our defense is atrocious. I dont know how we can be this bad considering the (perceived) talent gap. We should be able to just line up and out-football them.

We needed to recognize early in this game that we weren’t going to get a lot of stops and we needed to try to score a bunch of points. Instead choose to punt on every 4th and short and not take hardly any shots down the field. We’ve ran the ball a ton and tried to play a game of field position. That’s all on Pruitt. It reminds me of wv last season. Early in the game it became apparent that they were going to score. But it was also obvious that we’d be able to score. But same thing...we tried to slow the game down and be conservative with the play calling.
Its not pruitt’s fault that jg isn’t a good qb (after being such a highly ranked recruit) but it’s his fault that jg is still out there for his third year. And it’s his fault that we continue to try to play the field position game as if we ha e a dominant defense. When we absolutely don’t

 

[Ashevillevol]

This is worst defense I have ever seen fielded by Tennessee.

Wait til we play a good offense

 

[orangerush]

I must admit, Ga state is a better team than the vols

Never would have expected this. Just don't really know what to say when the season is over after first game.

 

[photovol]

Poor Neyland

 

[give_him 6]

I disagree. Nothing has gone wrong we just haven’t shown up. We have NO effort or passion. We are causing this. It’s a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Fumbles, bad passes, piss poor attitudes and tackling. That is a lot that has gone wrong

 

[knoxchief]

real question guys. How game like this will the fans allow before calling for another coach change?

 

[1Volnation]

Somebody slipped a 50 to the ref

 

[JFreak]

Go back to the practice videos. Tell me if you see any energy at all on the field. I called it around practice #4. Team is uninspired and that starts with the HC.

 

[jdogvol]

Pruitt . . ."I'm real excited."

 

[orangerush]

I must admit, Ga state is a better team than the vols

 

[Cartervol]

We never get the hire right. Football purgatory is where we live.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Why did our defense just stand up after the ball was hiked on the XP attempt?

 

[panhandlevol]

This is setting up to be the worst season in history. No energy at all by players or coaches today

 

[volforlife15]

I feel bad for Alontae. The ball never gets thrown his way and the reward for that is having to watch this trash

 

[beneVOLence]

What are these coaches getting paid again?

 

[gordonr24]

Is it bad that I have no emotion from this game?

 

[peyton4heisman]

When was the last time Tennessee lost a season opener?

 

[TNnative]

Sal Sunseri is looking like Kate Upton right now

Did Kate Upton get Meg Ryan plastic surgery?

 

[GoVols64]

Bring in the clowns!!!!!
