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

[volsarelife1]

Lol. Had 3rd and a foot and because the OL blows chunks, lost a yard vs lowly Georgia State. Come on man.

Come on man. It's ok to criticise JG some. You're downing every other thing. It's ok to do the same on him.

 

[lilesrt]

Still lack of talent.
Defense isn't good, and our offense looks like a middle school team half the time

I would throw confidence in there as well.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I don’t understand that last drive of the half; no urgency.

 

[hooperj75]

Guys take a breather. Tn is changing out personnel on both sides of the line almost every series. They are using this game to work out some kinks. I feel like if they wanted to they could throw all day on Ga State. Lots of teams play vanilla and that’s why you see several teams struggle in week 1. UK, NEB, Iowa st, Bama, all struggled in the first half.

I missed the bald remark Leaf made - what was it about ?

Callaway getting grief from the coaches about his long hair and Callaway saying that why should people with no hair talk about his hair. Leaf says and Pruitt certainly doesn't need very much shampoo in the shower.

As it is right now....we are in danger of losing to friggn' Georgia State....at home. There is no universe where this is a positive at any level. Wisconsin...teams like that...with 35th ranked recruiting classes every year look worlds better than this team with supposed "talent". So much comes down to coaching...and right now....that part looks horrible.

 

[AllVols]

Like. I’m not expecting an SEC championship.

I just want to be able to watch the game with people around Lololol. Without making excuses or screaming “F#CK!!!!!” Every 5 seconds.

It’s georgia State......can I just watch a calm, dominating game without needing to drink liquor to ease my nerves?

Just once? Jesus.

Bingo

 

[Tarkus]

So, where are those people who said I was crazy for saying BYU would be a tough game for us.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Remember when every one was talking trash about how "bad" Florida looked against Miami? Good times.

The good old days!

 

[TJVol95]

If we don’t show second half we are 0-1

Yeah I live in South Georgia, I’m tired of always having to go into work and be ridiculed mercilessly during football season. Come on Tennessee ****ing give me something once in a while.

 

[ETV]

Defense needs to make a stop or get a turnover here.

 

[mdsvol]

JMO, but after the first half, it appears that the team has regressed, on both sides of the ball. New coaches, all star staff, and this is the product? Unless they improve drastically in the second half, 6-6 will be a gift.

 

[BleedinOrange98]

Same stuff I read. I never saw any tangible proof outside of pure speculation to back any of that up. "We got veterans" was the loudest chant. Yeah..when you have veterans who aren't good that doesnt somehow make them automatically become good..

I tried to warn everyone a few weeks ago. Of course everyone instead decided to jump on the train to delusion-ville .

Defensive Expectations

 

[NEVolFan]

GaSt has energy... Vols gonna have to step it up.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

The blonde reporter is the only thing I’ve enjoyed looking at so far

 

[AustinMem]

I'm about tired of this leaf character

Was he the one staring down receivers and forcing bad throws? Or was he the one allowing the long drive for Georgia State?
Announcers are fine, if we werent sucking, I wouldnt even notice them. Neither has said anything that negative about UT that hasn't been something that we actually did poorly

 

[rockytop36]

They aren’t playing horrible.. but you have to get off the field on 3rd downs that 8 min drive just kills you.. I’m not going to jump ship yet, I mean trhe last time we beat Florida was the year app state should have beaten us lol

 

[sona]

I bet GS halftime speech was awe inspiring. They will come out believing and with good reason.

 

[KoachKrab127]

Good grief.....CALM DOWN ALREADY. Its the 1st game of the season and yes we've been sloppy but we will win this game. GBO.

Will we?

 

[VolSummitt44]

I've defended JG but he just isn't the answer.

 

[Trent4Pruitt4life]

Lol, okay. Going to be a long season for the booing crowd this season. Gotta watch those expectations.

You have to be the only person in the world that sees positive right now LOL

 

[37620VOL]

We will know by the end of this year if he's the man or just another dooley, lyle, etc.

Rinse and repeat.
