He's got a better shot at the playoffs than we do.

Maybe, that’s up to the committee

I don't think heard has been that bad the last weeks. The guy who has been sneaky awful is Spraggins. He just destroyed multiple times last night again.

Not according to most.

So has Army by your standards. I never said our defense was bad. In fact I said we are better every year. I said we aren’t putting enough pressure on QBs. That is a fact.

You're putting enough pressure on QBs to have been a can't miss playoff team if your O had put up 24 at Arky. They are putting enough pressure on the QB to win at home vs UF even though you only put up 17 in regulation. All you can ask of a unit is they play championship level football.

The Tennessee defense has played at a championship level all yr and yes, that includes running into a buzz saw on the road. If Tenn makes the playoffs this yr it will because of your defense. If you miss the playoffs, it will be because the other side of the ball laid too many eggs.

No he doesn’t

Good lord man, the Tenn D has given up over 20 one time this season. I know any fan base can nitpick any team to death but the 24 Tenn D is about as stout as it gets. They may not be the best D in the modern era of college football but it's been playing at a championship level.

Yes but keeping Alabama under 20 is no accomplishment to brag on.

I remember vividly 2009-2020. Hoping for miracles every week, and mostly being disappointed. I'll gladly take where we are now, and not be hoping we might somehow sneak out with a win.

Heupel has the #1 offensive tackle for the 2025? class committed, another high 4* offensive tackle also committed. The level of talent he is bringing in the next 2 classes get us ever closer to the talent level of Alabama and Georgia.

Our defense has been playing at an elite level all year. Georgia just wore them down last night. As stated above, I know when Tennessee takes the field now, odds are we will leave with another game in the left hand column.

I don’t want anybody fired:
but I think Tenn got badly out coached last night. The motion Ga used on offense kept Tenn’s defense out of position and the moving of Ga‘s DL kept the Vols offensive line confused. I think Tenn may have had the talent advantages last night but X &Os went to the dogs
