How the hell does a national broadcast network not have a better camera angle of that play? This is JP-quality.

It is going to be a long day if they can't cover those wr's better. Hope for a lot of Bama turnovers.

Why are we constantly going up tempo against them with a qb we don't trust?

I would slow it down and snap the ball with one second left on the play clock every play and try to end this misery quickly.

If there was an Andy Griffith Show episode on, I would watch it.

How do you compete with these bastages?  We have not come close to pressuring Jones.

Piss pour coverage, piss pour tackling. They will hang at least 50 on us.

OL looking good. If we can run, maybe we can make throws easier. Gotta get points here.

Will Bama have to punt again today?

We're going to allow a fizzleing bammer to break Tee Martin's record...in Neyland, with Tee on the sideline. Sounds about right.

I get they're great on offense, but we aren't challenging them at all on D.

Because it worked for Ole Miss.  Hasn't been working that badly for us, actually.  Caught bammer in a substitution penalty one time and have kept them off guard pretty well.  Saban infamously does not like the hurry up, tried to get it banned at one point.

Nope.  We stopped them. In a single game sense anyway.

I'll counter you thusly:

1. We ain't Ole Miss and can't do (and don't attempt to do) what they do on offense.

2. We did it last week too, and it was equally ineffective.

CBS guys said Vols still have life. One guy commented JG had played well and they moved the ball well at times. The other guy asked "who is going to tackle" and they all laughed.

Offense has not been bad really.  Not great, but better than expected.

Pass defense continues to be piss poor. Even allowing for the facts that Matt Jones is one of the best QBs in the country, bama offense is literally THE best and they made uga look silly in second half last week, we still can do better than this.

Only bright spots on pass D are that Thompson and Taylor both had nice breakups.  Thus I am going to continue to think they have great individual talent, must be coaching or lack of pass rush and/or a bit of underperforming by both, but I wouldn't bench them just yet lol.

Why do the coaches we hire suddenly get to Knoxville and forget how to coach? We hire them because they are good coaches....right? Then what happens that we haven't looked well coached for a few years now? This team doesn't.  Two snaps... a fumble for td and a false start.

At this point, CBS might as well just deploy a camera to UTMC and devote their coverage to Waddle at the hospital. This game is a nothingburger, and that's all they can talk about anyway.

Serious question....where would JG be on Bama's depth chart? Yet he still does his arrow routine. Is he good enough to be that cocky?

Down 4 scores, 3rd and 7 on their end of the field, and THAT'S what you run?

Yeah, the white flag is out.

If they have then that is unacceptable.

That stupid run play on 3rd and 7 makes me think you might be right.
