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

[Coug]

Boom!

 

[PA Vol]

Glad Jones is showing some fight; going on fourth.

 

[dbrum5]

I like how we wait till we're down two f****** this touchdowns to open it up and do hurry up!! What a f*****g joke this game calling has been

 

[deaconkane]

Too much hype about Dobbs. Too many injures, too many distractions with the AJ thing. Perfect storm. How Dobbs will grow from this experience.

We shoulda known when Dobbs slammed the ball down on a penalty in the 1st half. I told my bros here the game was over then... But, I still hoped.. on to next week and get to take my son's (gator fans) to see it for the first time in Nashville...

Games we lose this year you can expect the same people saying the same thing...crappy play calling, be more aggressive blah blah blah. How about when oline can't block, your chances of winning, no matter what plays you call, is very unlikely. Mix in a couple of key dropped passes, untimely penalties, and back to back turnovers, playing against a motivated ranked team....without your leader on defense, best WR and starting center...excuses but reality. Offense has to make plays at least occasionally and we haven't. 6-6 right where most thought we should be.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Guys....INDIANA beat this team. I've gotta think the distractions this week did us in.

 

[Obsessed]

score a TD guys...as quick as possible would be great...yeah.

They haven't scored one all night, now you want them too?

I'm not being mean. Just tired of the same ole crap. New day, same crap.

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Did we just throw a quick slant?!! Who called that play?

 

[omghulkhands]

Bad thing about this loss is, other teams will scheme Dobbs / Vols similarly in future.

By the time that matters our offensive like should be better

 

[Joe Vols]

How many can we drop?

 

[MAD]

 

[Volstylexx]

where has Von been?

 

[Coug]

Our guys can't hold on to anything tonight. I've seen so many of our players drop passes.

 

[fade route]

Is pig the only one running routes?

 

[LittleCat]

Vandy has a better defense than USCe or UK.

now i know for sure you're a troll.

 

[aredfox28]

So we were picked to win by 3 or 4, and we are losing by 16... way to go coaching staff... you suck as much as the mizzou kicker

 

[theutvolunteers]

I love it that SGM is alive and well during this game thread. Missed her in the last couple.

 

[SGMVols]

Yeah, but they also have no SEC wins.

We have no SEC wins that really matter.

 

[ToptheTerrible]

The ultimate goal this year was a bowl. A goal still in tact

Amen brother. 6-6 was a solid goal this year. Still well within reach including a bowl win. Not a good night Vol Nation but hysteria not in the cards.

 

[saxvol]

I sure hope our bowl opponent is Akorn st.

 

[VOLywood]

It's obvious our team lacks focus after the events of this week. Anyone who thought we wouldn't miss AJ is obviously wrong. Our O-line did not get better, we just played lesser competition than earlier in the year. We are who we are...young and lacking depth. Just like all year we struggle against veteran teams. Disappointing tonight, but we can still earn bowl eligibility and work towards next season.

 

[Sandvol]

Why no Ethan Wolf tonight?

 

[Vol_is_Lyfe18]

Vandy has a better defense than USCe or UK.

Vandy sucks. Show me a quality win by them.

 

[PA Vol]

Need a big play now.

 

[WriterVol]

Johnson hesitated too much.
