The Official Tennessee @ #1 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Kurtastrophe]

We get To’o To’o back in the second half. Hopefully, Maurer too.

I’ll be shocked if we see Maurer. Concussion protocol is only something Butch Jones would mess with.

This game might have turned on our inability to get points on our last drive. Totally different feel if we go to half 21-17 or even 21-13. Big swing in Bama's favor there.

I really think we had them in a bad position at the 5 yard line, running the wildcat, and then the refs gave them a phantom timeout to set their D and then called holding on our entire offense. Pathetic!
Anyway, this thing may get out of hand but bama knows they’re in a dog fight, I guarantee that!
GBO!!

 

[PA Vol]

Would love to see their backup throw a pick-six right out of the gate.

 

[FranklinVFL]

I believe he is still recovering from last week. He may need to sit out some games to recover.

Should have sat out this week. Look back. I said that right after last week. He never should have played this week.

How bad does JG want it. He could be a legend tonight. A legend!

There's no question about how much he "wants it". He does. Did you hear the announcer earlier talking about Chaney's comments? JG is wound too tight. He makes bad decisions and does stupid stuff like changing plays that don't make sense. That and the fact that he's too slow delivering the ball keeps him from being a good QB.

Maurer can't stay healthy. JG just doesn't get it done. Maybe he has a "breakthrough" and suddenly "gets it". But UT probably needs a great running game and some Bama mistakes (think scoop and score or pick six) to have a chance... of even staying close.

 

[AllVolinGA]

Just looking for anything to BMW about.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Saban needs an enema

fyp

 

[appvol]

I still believe the targeting call is BS when offensive players lead with their helmet, Bituli and Totoboy out hurts us.

Too Too will play the 2nd half

 

[fossilfiction]

When the WR dives forward leading with his head 1st what is Bituli suppose to do.

Not lower his head. If you cannot see the player you are hitting the guy then it is going to be targeting.

 

[CAVPUT]

Maurer is not coming back today.

Nope. That was a head shot. No way Pruitt can risk him tonight. He might not be available for USC either.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Smdh

Lol I don't think you can blame Pruitt for anything so far in this game.

 

[nomads-11]

Yall saw one second came off the clock on bamas last pass.play?

Yep, on a sideline throw no less.

 

[Switch 625]

I’ll be shocked if we see Maurer. Concussion protocol is only something Butch Jones would mess with.

I was just hoping it wasn’t serious at all and they’re being overly cautious

 

[VolMarine1371]

Pruitt getting under Saban skins deserves an extension just that.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Announcer said bituli is out for first half against South Carolina too. Is that right?

 

[au4life23]

Any update on Tua?

 

[pharmDvol11]

We get To’o To’o back in the second half. Hopefully, Maurer too.

Maurer is done for the night imo. Pruitt was on the sidelines and I’m assuming that conversation was Pruitt passionately telling him he doesn’t want to lose him for the rest of the season or... ever!

 

[BeardedVol]

#truth

If he gets fined, we should start a GoFundMe to pay it for him.

 

[C-south]

If Mauer WERE to come back and TUA does not, we probably have a realistic shot here.

This isn’t an elite Bama D of old.

 

[fossilfiction]

The kind that wants to get out of the half down only 11.

Yes. Go to the locker room and make adjustments.

 

[au4life23]

Announcer said bituli is out for first half against South Carolina too. Is that right?

No.

 

[BigOrangeD]

When the WR dives forward leading with his head 1st what is Bituli suppose to do.

Exactly. Before long they will have to play flag football. That was a BS call.

 

[YankeeVol]

Should have sat out this week. Look back. I said that right after last week. He never should have played this week.

He's the only reason it's "close"

 

[GrizzlyVol]

We've got to do something JG just can't do it, I know Shrout is wet behind the ears but man I think he may actually give us a chance

 

[pharmDvol11]

Any update on Tua?

The check bounced. He’s gonna sit this one out.
