Tennessee's secondary has been one of the worst in the nation and it finally killed them against an average team.

I don't understand what DC Tim Banks and Martinez (CBs) are even coaching back there. the players are limited but they are getting worse as the season goes on. for example: 3rd and 8, both corners are in off-man even with the first down marker, at the snap they go straight into their backpedal, and South Carolina converts an 8-yard hitch that Rattler could've thrown underhand. how are they going to stop the third down there, based on that alignment and technique?

it was nice not to see Kamal Hadden for a month. having him back as a starting corner, giving up yards on every single target and talking shit *after* giving up said yards was an experience I was enjoying not seeing. my current most disliked player on Tennessee.

tough to see Hooker go down like that, though. Vol legend no matter what.
