The Official Tennessee vs. Georgia State Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPNU

Improved in what phases of the game? You have to take into account this is Ga St, not an SEC school.

Ga St is a really bad team.

 

[LittleVol]

D Johnson or D Taylor are not playing with any fire.
Emerson and Solomon need more reps.
Ignot needs to sit down...

 

[BeardedVol]

This is a game where Vols should be up 42-0 at halftime and play backups entire 2nd half. Is that to much to ask for?

This will be another year of starters playing the entire game as we struggle against inferior opponents.

 

[ShoNuff]

How bad is GA ST in respect to Division 1? They are making us look pretty bad.

 

[RiverVol]

For all of you saying don't get emotional - or shunning those who are expressing frustration, I'll just leave this here.

This team should not convert 4th and 1 on us, they should not be getting first downs, they should not be holding us back at all in the running game. There is no facet of the game in which they should be able to compete with us. We are not better. This is Georgia State.

W, L, or Draw,... this is a poor showing so far for a team that has millions in staff payroll and some of the best facilities in college football. I hope we make adjustments and improve for game 2.

Vice the Int, who I blame JG for the laser throw at close range, Running backs have been our only bright spot.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Defense has to be able to get off the field. This is really discouraging. Pruitt has got to be livid

 

[bpalmer28]

Hard to beat the Zebras, but the Vol defense has to beat G-State's offense.

I’ve been encouraged despite allowing them to score at least once this half. DL looks like they’ll be less of a weakness than I thought

 

[orangerush]

14 points is unacceptable

 

[johnsonbrewer]

My High School self wants to fight you

My college self just threw an empty beer bottle over your head.....then I buy you a shot of Jack

 

[TNnative]

So about those 8 and 9 win predictions this season..........

Still the expectation.

Been literally one bad call lol.

 

[CA_Vol]

So every NFL QB is a puss?

Give me a break, dude. Get the damn first down. Now the defense is getting gassed. Darrell Taylor is hurt. And Georgia State is keeping this a game. Good grief.

 

[Vol_guy]

Why are we struggling with ga state?

 

[give_him 6]

Time for Pruitt to kick the marker board.

 

[Grudenator]

Apparently. Sick of this garbage every year

I’m used to it by now. I just turned 24. Been like this most of my life

 

[Volnbeers]

 

[orangerush]

Lol, BAD

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

6 min drive by ga st and tie game.

Apparently I was really hoping for more so far I won’t lie. I’m not going to overreact it’s just this looks like the same crap team I’ve watched the last couple of years which doesn’t really bode well for the rest of the year. Guess we will see.

 

[bpalmer28]

Looks like it was just a stinger for Taylor

 

[KBVol]

Haha! Tie game. Nice defense.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

So every NFL QB is a puss?

If he slides before getting first down when he had plenty of room to get it. Yes.

 

[vols 30]

Ga St is a really bad team.

Guess what. So is UT
