I love AT and the way he came back strong. But he missed the defensive call in the BYU game and let his guy behind him. Pruitt lost his mind over it. Yes, Warrior missed a tackle that could have saved yards. But the deep ball was completely on AT.

Don’t disagree but you have safeties for a reason and Warrior should of made that tackle just like Alontae shouldn’t of let the guy behind him.

Two errors led to that play happening can’t blame one individual

Just saw on SEC now, that’s SC has a 57% chance of beating us on opening day?!? If that’s the case, why aren’t they ranked ahead of us? Mind blown.

3 spots behind us on FPI, so basically the same. Plus home field advantage, typically worth 2.5-3 points, gets us to 57%. Now, Bill C. Himself said he's personally moving from 2.5 down to 1 point for home field advantage. If they made the same adjustment, with FPI, should be about 50/50.

Vegas has it -3 last i checked, which is 56-57% to our advantage. I'll go with Vegas at the end of the day.

Because we lost our opener last year to a worse team. They are betting we come out flat like last year.

I really don't think FPI goes that deep. They just see us as equals, but on the road.

I just hope FPI is wrong on us for once, in a good way. They have typically overshot us. I hope we blow right past expectations for once. We are due.

There have been some great games. If you aren't watching, you're missing out.

This. Between Luka's stepback game winner and Lebron and Co's total domination the other night...shew. We are seeing both an emerging great and an aging great playing top ball. Only sad thing is no Chef Curry in the playoffs 😑

AT also needs to clean up his tackling. We can't have players getting ejected from the game for targeting.

I believe Im thinking of 2018 so maybe that's no longer an issue.

Hard legitimate tackles are being called for Targeting now. It is going to ruin the game. With the speed of the game it is impossible not to have helmet to helmet contact on many plays, not just a few.

Isn't that supposedly why they have helmets? They do need to crack down on the practice of obviously using the helmet as a weapon. Hard judgement.

Been a fun playoffs. I’ve enjoyed it. Not quite the same energy with no fans but still high quality basketball being played.

Can we please, please stick to recruiting/football talk ONLY in this forum? Like most of us, I come here to discuss and get updated on the latest news involving UT football and couldn’t care less what anybody’s opinions are regarding the BLM protests, Covid-19, etc. There is a politics forum specifically designed for such conversations and that is where those conversations should stay. I’m begging those who keep posting politically charged comments to please stop. I believe Volnation is by far the best college football forum out there and I hate to see it evolve into Twitter 2.0

I’ve asked the same several times but it never changes.
And the closer we get to election, the worse it will be.
Just ignore the political posts or comments and read those about our Vols.

Most of the helmet to helmet contacts are incidental without malicious intent but they are stil being called targeting. It’s part of the game.
