The Official Tennessee vs. #17/20 West Virginia Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

Ughhhh reality about to set back in. After that touchdown we had a glimmer of hope. We can play coulda woulda shoulda all day...but think if Tennessee converted on that third down near the end of the second quarter.

On the bright side, no fahr Pruitt thread.


Yet.

Surprised we're not running better. This team was like 110th in rush D last year. O line is even weaker than I expected

 

[irish1485]

I am sorry, but Florida will beat this team like a rented mule. The Gators are far better tha. wVa.

How did you come to this conclusion when Florida won all of 4 games last year? Just like us.. We have to have the most fickle fans on the planet .

 

[photovol]

Wvir does look quicker faster stronger and bigger everywhere

That’s because they are much more athletic, sad, but we all anticipated this would happen, we were just hoping it wouldn’t happen

 

[johnboyhunter]

Our best line to use when recruiting will continue to be “come to UT and be part of rebuilding the program”.

 

[UTK]

I will say, a 3 and out or a turnover then there’s still a chance. But need one or the other

 

[bpalmer28]

Is it just me, or is our secondary getting beat on every pass play?

You surprised? We lost 3 starters in the secondary.

 

[OneVolNation]

Come on defense! Pressure that juicer!

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

How does the whole squad jump

Center forgot the snap count maybe?

 

[benzod]

Why aren’t we taking any shots downfield?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

They have the advantage at qb and wr. We are equal or better as far as personnel at almost every other position. I call BS there. This team doesn't know how to play or win yet.

A couple of drives in the first half were likely stopped because of a run call instead of passing.

 

[JohnD13]

Weather delay hurt us, I feel we had the momentum despite being down

Lol

 

[OneVolNation]

There you go, Alexis Johnson!

 

[Vol Kilmer]

0/8 on horizontal passes

 

[rocketskates]

We had a 9 yard run then a WR screen (stupid) and a false start to kill the drive, we can run fine.

Yeah. I don’t get it with Tennessee coaching for the past ten years. Your running back has a nine yard run and then you try a WR screen? Run it down their throats and move the chains

 

[GrizzlyVol]

The offense play calling sucks bad, wr screen doesn't work because nobody blocks anybody

 

[YankeeVol]

Good D there

 

[Other_Guy]

Warrior is not a return man

Nor is anyone else, apparently.

 

[jhcrane14]

Guys...it’s the first game...with a new coach...we will improve a lot!!!

Underrated post.

 

[LocoVol]

This team is soft which is not what i expected from JP

I always think there is a chance also when i buy a lotto ticket, but not likely.

 

[OneVolNation]

Take their lunch money.

Pitiful performance
