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

I would love to see what we could do on the field at full strength... would be cool... we haven't been full strength all year....

And neither has any other team in the country.

From the NCAA rules.

c. When the ball is kicked (A.R. 6-1-2-I-IV):
1. Each Team A player, except the holder and kicker of a place kick, must
be behind the ball (A.R. 6-1-2-V) [S18].

 

[peerless98]

Maybe it's just me, but I am not shocked based on the inexperience of this team. At least they played till the end!

 

[tn4elvis]

that one hurt. Hindsight being 20/20, should have turned dobbs loose throwing earlier. Should have moved the pocket.

Defense gives up two long touchdown throws. No excuse for that.

We let (another) one slip away. Young team. Needs to find a way to win the tough ones.

That being said, this team beats vandy. 6-6. Bowl game. It's a step in the right direction.

Next year, with what we have returning, expectations rise, and the heat is on.

Go vols.

the one cam got beat on was a great catch by their wr.coleman is just terrible.

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

They didn't. It was flagged, but not announced. Bad reffing, but not the wrong call.

How do we know? The only one who said that was the call was official "expert" Bill. The refs were obligated to say "two fouls on the play" but didn't.

 

[Other_Guy]

Butch went full Dooley tonight. I wanna be fully onboard, but when s*** like tonight happens, it don't help the cause. Pathetically coached game tonight. Embarrassing.

Was it an awful decision? Heck yes. Was the whole game pathetically coached? Please explain.

 

[Call me a Duck]

Despite the outcome, Dobbs is a heck of an athlete and a standup kid who is willing to sacrifice his body to make a play.

From the NCAA rules.

exactly. another blatant bad call at the the end of a game. unbelievable.

 

[Memphis Morrison]

Another poorly coached game. The 3:00 in the first half with 3 timeouts and we run the clock out, we refuse to throw the ball over the middle of the field or down the field. This coaching staffs conservative approach has cost us another close game. Malone doesn't give up that pass if he had seen the ball in the first three quarters. We play not to get beat, trust in your players and open the playbook. Don't wait til the end of the game when we're out of it to be brave. Watched this to many times this year to see its a trend.

Lets pay nick Saban 10 mil a year to come over and win is a couple ncs

 

[Orangefrenzy71]

Well at least there will not be any parties tonight😊

 

[bam025]

There has to be a curse

 

[508mikey]

any players out partying tonight should be kicked off the team - those 2 idiots last week cost their school and team a much needed win

 

[acd4476]

alright lets beat vandy and go bowling. its been awhile.

 

[UTodd01]

Bottom line: Missouri defense is legit and that's why we lost.

Period.

The good news is we will thrash Candy in Nashville and probably return to Nashville in December for our bowl game.

God please not Birmingham. Yuck.

Hogs to Liberty?

Dude.get lost. Your Jay Jay is still hurting from the complete beat down we gave you

 

[Aerie Vol]

the one cam got beat on was a greatgrandmother catch by their wr.coleman is just terrible.

Cam was interfered with on the TD catch he gave up. Stiff arm to his chest from the WR or Cam does the last second leap one hand bat down he's famous for.

No call. Shocking.

That should tell you exactly how terrible they are...a guy with a torn ACL is still the best option at RT.

The best comment of the night. We are getting better, but still very much lacking in a lot of areas.

UF will beat us to that deal too

 

[volman126]

What?! Did they stop rushing? We threw quick slants and out plays. All plays the ball was gone in under 2 seconds. Bajakian is absolute garbage. Been saying it all year. People said he was great because we put up 50 on UK. Josh Dobbs has been saving his job and making him look good. Now we get a decent defense and he changes his calls up in the last drive of the game. Actually, I'd bet CBJ took over play calling that series.

HE called the game not to lose instead to win. I was afraid this would happen tonight. I'm not satisfied that he is going to make it in the SEC. I know we struggled up front tonight I kinda expected us to. What I didn't expect was for him to call the games scared. Beat candy and get to a bowl.

 

[UTodd01]

The crew we had tonight has been screwing us all year. No doubt about that.

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Dude.get lost. Your Jay Jay is still hurting from the complete beat down we gave you

Pretty sure he is on our side???

 

[patrick]

Look at the kicker.

kicker was offside

 

[casetopia]

so now we get to play guess what the penalty is with the refs.

 

[led0321]

They looked like Freshman tonight but they will grow and develop into a championship team. This team will be as good as the offensive line allows next year.
