UT football is dead folks

Nigel is having a rough day

 

[nomads-11]

That's what happens when you can't get off the field on D. Man I was hoping to see D improvement. Still hoping. Dang

 

[GoVols15]

Should I pay good money to watch this team against BYU? Sad day!

 

[AllVols]

Bet we go for it next time we are 4th and an inch

 

[orangerush]

Players may change but the team still struggles

 

[VolInNW]

Almost gotta laugh. I get suckered in every year. Every damn year.

On the bright side: Looks like my Saturdays have opened up this fall!

 

[UT-Rex]

14-14. This is getting us good and prepared for close SEC games. Look on the bright side.

 

[lilesrt]

This defense is garbage. The last time I saw the other team convert this many 3 and 9’s, Chablis was theDC

Ansley.. The 1 Million dollar man. Our desperation is out of control and we’ve lost our minds in the off-season.

Diva

 

[508mikey]

Can't convert a 3 and 1 on the ground. Ga f'ing St converts 3 on one drive

its on Pruitt -- he supposedly is defense oriented

 

[Vol4Life2289]

Looks like Burrell is getting picked on. I hope he can step it up.

 

[Pride85]

Uggggghhhhh. Shamburger got fried.

 

[OrangeSquid]

Brief synopsis so far for those of us unable to watch please

Ga.State just tied game with 3:11 until the half. Ga. State gets the ball starting the second half. VOLS looking about the same as last year to me.
I'm hoping it's first game jitters and something changes soon.

 

[JoAllan]

I hope we don't play any more teams with a better O-line than Georgia State. We're going to have trouble if we do. Our Dline getting pushed all over the field.

Every other team they will face.

 

[molsen81]

Man, I’m cracking open the Grand Marnier early.

 

[kerrywoodwins20]

Struggling with a school that is better known for their basketball, and they're BARELY known for their basketball.

Tennessee better thank their lucky stars the SEC doesn't have relegation like European leagues. They'd be playing in the Sun-Belt by this time next year.

 

[fossilfiction]

I’m still not worried about the defense. Good execution there by GSU plus a little help from the zebras. Secondary needs to cover better.

That was a close PI. Even without those 15 yards GA State just took it to our defense.

 

[Trent4Pruitt4life]

a 5-7 year incoming

Prob 4-8

 

[90 Vol]

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

2-10 last year in the Sun Belt. They’re not good, we just suck that bad.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

We've had the ball three possessions basically shutup

More or less,

* Turnover
* TD
* TD
* Punt

The defense is the bigger issue, but we need to start dominating on offense.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

It's almost like what we saw during the open sessions of practice was all there was.

 

[Tourney3p0]

Guys, Georgia State was undefeated in their conference last year and beat a couple respectable power 5 teams last year.

.. is what I wish I could say.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Looks like another long season. In a dogfight with GA State (Sunbelt- 2-10 record in 2018).

I thought 6-6 was the floor. Need to rethink that.

And Pruitt said we “are really good”?

 

[Powder and shot]

Calling all Eeyores. All Eeyores unite! Say in unison Vols suck o my.....
