Tennessee looked like it had better athletes on the field across the board. Bigger, stronger, faster on both sides of the ball. There is a lot of work to be done getting the O and D lines where they need to be to play championship caliber teams. I think Riley knows it and can do the job.

I don't know. I didn't bother to witness another loss to any ranked team.

Totally incapable of blocking at the line. Outplayed, out-muscled....not enough talent.

I kept wondering why Gates wasn't given any help. Why no double teaming against Barnett?

Since I can't click both, I chose defense, all season long they have been dogged by not showing up till the 4th quarter.

The lack of coaching and talent became demostrably apparent. If a team wants to compete it MUSTbe talented in all positions with depth for the guys with a knuckle on the ground. Otherwise you will only be competitive with teams such as Indiana, Purdue and so on.

Easy vote here because Tommy, Westy and Newby did not play. The defense was atrocious and we just can't ever sack the QB and show that we can shut people down and show up when the offense needs em most.

linebackers were out of position and lost most of the night. Plus the lack of fundamentals in tackling!!!

SOFT ZONE/NO PRESSURE - Banker utilized the zone all year with mediocre results against pushover teams. Is it a surprise that potent offenses and even some not-so-potent (looking at you Iowa) were able to exploit it at will? When you play a soft zone and can't apply pressure to the QB you're done.

Defense is supposedly the easier to play, but for some reason, we made it looking like diarrhea offense for the other team...........

Well we do pretty good against teams without any speed and much athleticism. Western Michigans offensive line is twice as good as ours, why?defensive line too!!!!!

The tackling was terrible, they would throw their bodies in front of the ball carrier, no wrapping up, no sticking the ball carrier. It's like they were afraid to hit them.

Are you OK with Nebraska's canceling of the Tennessee series?

Yes, it's a financial necessity.

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
