The Official #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[87&91ALUM]

8-4 music City bowl will be about all we can do this year. Not bad but not an improvement.

 

[CoachClick]

I would like to see CJH get angry on the sidelines and show some damn emotion.

Good luck.

 

[york.adamray]

How many are watching the game still??

 

[Jersey Moonshine]

8-4 guys. What else did you expect when you lose Hooker, Tilman, Hyatt, Banks and Wright?

And McCoy.

 

[Ty4Vols]

Congrats to Mizzou. Vols made just about every mistake possible to kill our scoring opportunities. That said Mizzou came to play.

 

[Memphisvol87]

In the world of transfer portal and NIL this is beyond reprehensible.

 

[charleyhorse]

Heupel has done a decent job this year. Going into the season, everyone knew the roster was thin in terms of depth. Offensive line has been a problem when lining up against talented units.

Biggest issue for the team is OL recruiting. 2nd is DL recruiting, although not to say the Dline has played badly this year. They have well and racked up stats when the O jumped ahead.

How recruiting a LB that read a play. And not trail it

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Worse than Florida game loss. They have gave up and handed this to Mizzou!

I think they are a better team than Florida.

 

[Tenacjim]

Gary does suck. Let blame him instead of the refs.

Many things can be true…Gary, the refs, the offense and the defense ALL suck in this game.

 

[Halph66]

TN is great at making mediocre teams and players look great!

I don’t agree that Missouri is mediocre. They are 7-2 (8-2 now) playing in the same division that Tennessee is. What I saw last week, and this game confirms to me that they are a good team.

 

[njvols]

WE need to run up the middle....

Definitely coming

 

[Vol49er]

Does Heupel run up the score on anyone ever again?

That narrative is completely stupid. We were running the ball because they had timeouts. Coaches will concoct any narrative to motivate emotionally immature college kids (see: Michigan acting like a victim in recent weeks), but we dont have to play into them

 

[Score50]

The stupidity by some never ceases to amaze. Joe Milton is just about the only player who has looked even remotely decent outside of his fumble. This defense can’t stop anyone with a pulse but let’s throw in a true freshman who has shown absolutely nothing in limited playing time. We are an 8 win team, those of you with illusions of 9-10 wins are delusional. Virtually no threats at wr outside of White, and a below average defense. IF McCoy and Hadden weren’t injured, MAYBE this game is more competitive but we aren’t beating Georgia under any circumstances.

He should look good. He’s been playing college football for 6 years and still can’t read defenses or call a play from the line of scrimmage. He gets an A from me today.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Joe has thrown the ball well and played a good game. Why start Nico?

He's thrown well. He's had a brain fart on a run or two but play calling hasn't been the best and why they kept running Wright when it wasn't getting it done.
This defense is horrible. No excuse to continue to let 3rd and forever constantly get picked up and I don't even know what to say about that 3rd and long and let them still get a 1st down.
I'd be down to see a new more aggressive DC brought in. If this team front can't get penetration it's like they have no other game plan and fold, the secondary is awful.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Banks sucks and has sucked since he has been here.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Tell me again how good our D staff is when a D-2 transfer puts up 200+ rushing & 100+ receiving yards against your D. If you can't make adjustments to stop one player from killing you then maybe you should consider other employment opportunities. Just sayin'!!!!

It doesn’t matter that he’s a D2 transfer. The guy is a player …. Doesn’t excuse the weak ass pathetic effort by the D though

 

[SATX VOL]

And another face mask…. Not called

 

[VOLinAL]

Not on them? they have givin up over 500 yards, over 300 to 1 player!

We avg over 30 a game which right now we would be winning. WE HAVE 7 POINTS. Don’t confuse our defensive ineptitude for our offense not doing a **** thing.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

What’s weird is we’ll play like this but probably end up beating Georgia next week

No chance.

 

[BreatheUT]

Missouri is better than us. It's clear the margin for error was small. We get a Wright fumble to end a scoring drive to tie or go in front to end the half but Missouri ends up with 3. We are driving again and Sampson knocks the ball out of Milton's hand and Missouri recovers. Then when we have them backed up, they call our DB for a personal foul on a face mask when the blocker was causing it.

 

[Bryan1]

Get banks off the sideline rn!

As long as he takes Martinez with him!

 

[HighRockvol]

The fact that the refs can see that minor of a detail with a guy wearing black gloves had a finger on a black face mask tells you are desperately searching for any penalty they can call on UT, while essentially staring off into oblivion when the opponent commits a penalty. Ridiculous.

We need to leave this conference tell them to go **** there self

 

[Other_Guy]

To be competitive against bad Florida team and a mid level mizzou team

That mid-level Missouri team will be 10-2 and barely losing to Georgia. Wake up.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

You can typically tell those people with room temperature iq with takes like this.


If nothing is called against your opponent, it’s going to make you look worse.

And you can tell the kind of lives people live with statements like this. Always finding a scapegoat instead of owning issues. The definition of not a leader. Bad officiating or not our team is sorry. Coaching is sorry. Bad calls happen. You have to play well enough to push through…… or you can just make excuses.

 

[ashleyyy]

why is Joe still in the damn game
