The Official Tennessee vs. #20 Missouri Game Thread, 7:30pm ET, ESPN

[ETV]

Have the VOLS ever started out 0-3 v.s. any conference expansion team?

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Sometimes the handling of timeouts on this team is comical.

Butch makes Les's time management look good.

 

[LittleCat]

Tough ugly game.

 

[tnprogrammer]

Bad playing and bad coaching tonight. Still a ways to go.

 

[VolNExile]

Final score 29-21 Missouri.

'night all

 

[gjrvol]

This one on Butch and AJ Johnson

 

[chattavol420]

Butch doesn't have the courage or intelligence to win big. Period. Call me negavol or whatever but it's the truth. One man who does and has ties to our program... Peyton and his career should be wrapping up right about that time

 

[deaconkane]

Um yeah with 2 timeouts we could have gotten the ball back with about 30 seconds left. Losing that timeout gave us no chance. That was a flat out awful decision. I have no clue what our coaches were thinking.

Still goes to first half when we ran the clock out with 3 timeouts and 2 minutes to go...

 

[GoVolunteers]

that last drive was made up of plays that Tennessee should have been running earlier in the game.....

Not really. Missouri changed defense on us

 

[Volstylexx]

Butch f'd up. Don't give a d*** who denies it.

he did, but TN wasn't scoring a td and 2 pt conv with 30 secs.

 

[armchair]

did the officials actually call an offsides on our onside kick AFTER THE FACT, while the play was being reviewed? Didn't see it. They cannot do that, can they?

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

We got beat by a beatable team. This loss is on the coaches. Back to the same bad play calljng as first half of the season. The o line gave up a lot of blocks and the receivers dropped a lot of balls, but this one is one the coaches. That challenge at the end wss the icing on the cake.

Butch f'd up. Don't give a d*** who denies it.

It would have at least given us a chance, but that chance was as big of a long shot as the challenge!

 

[vols 30]

shut the music off!!!! embarrassing

I wish they would get rid of it. It's old already

 

[bam025]

Good clock management butch, great job Coleman, offensive line kudos, and the game changed when no emotion Malone dropped a pass to his face mask that got intercepted.

 

[Bryan1]

The challenge cost a time out, we weren't gonna win it even with the 2 time outs!

 

[Creeker]

Well look on the bright side, Vandy is next week. We will be bowl eligible after we embarrass their whole fan base all 12 of them.

 

[orangegrass]

Before you blame the OC remember the defensive secondary gave up two huge plays.

 

[VolSteve]

True that... It's not the qb

I'll bet you blamed the QB when it was Worley under center.

 

[orangefloyd]

Butch just cost us the game, you could see it in his eyes.

U r f o s

 

[govols/cc]

Should've known better. Beat Vandy

 

[ATLVols]

Well, at least we made it exciting at the end. Looked like they were going to run away with it. Not a good showing tonight on national media.

Insert Stop sign gif...

 

[tnprogrammer]

Beat ourselves tonight

True, we didn't play very well on offense at all, but give some credit to the Mizzou defense.

 

[Phat-Phil]

Fellas, we lost this game when Josh Malone let that pass bounce off his chest. I hate to point to one play, but that was the turning point.

I agree. Hate it for the guy and more so the seniors but that play really hurt. He will make up for it in the future no doubt.
