The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

Play calling and execution. Need both.

Absolutely agree, brother

 

[I4Vols]

I avoided the thread in the 1H. Coming back it seems like I watched a different game than all you coaches.

The diff is line play. Purdue DLine outplayed our OLine and their OLine outplayed our DLIne in the 2Q. That caused Hooker's fumble and too many other hurries screwing up timing & routes. It caused their run game to be much better than it should been and their QB, except for a couple of plays to lay it out

If you don't have the best beef on the on the table, the meal just doesn't taste so good.

I like that OLine play a whole lot better...
Go DLine! Go Vols!

 

[Memphisvol87]

Excellent start

 

[dduncan4163]

Nice run good slants dink and dunk baby

 

[GreyWolf1129]

The announcers are so soft when Tenn scores and explosive when it’s Purdue! ESPN???

I watch ESPN, but I do not listen. I can see what's happening, so I mute the announcers. Every game, any game, every time.

 

[OrangeTsar]

That’s much better. Now let’s bring the pressure on defense

 

[BigALWiLson]

Nah. Some of us don't give up on our team at halftime.

No not all but im sure you were cussing too. I know I was

 

[TJSVOLS]

Defense needs to take control now

Afraid they are not capable

 

[RavinDave]

we are all bipolar.... love yall. Happy New Year

Yeah let’s hope the manic phase lasts 30 minutes now

 

[casetopia]

Nah. Some of us don't give up on our team at halftime.

Halftime? Ha someone said it was over in the 1st qtr. Lol

 

[BreatheUT]

That was a drive of taking what the defense is giving you rather than forcing the ball down field.
Good opening drive, hopefully it settles us down and we get back to throttling the boilermakers.
GBO!!

Well we're in a dogfight right now so let's hope so.

 

[sunnyvol79]

Cmon D let’s get lit!!

 

[Bigorange123]

We are going for the Home Run way too much. Plenty of short and out of the backfield targets open. Its okay to dink and dunk in tempo sometimes. And run the damn ball more too

Coach tries to keep it simple, yet over thinks in simple situations?

 

[The Original Fade]

add fumble that led to Purdue score please

Dude, are you seriously this dumb? You want Milton? I have no words

 

[RDU VOL#14]

That’s much better. Now let’s bring the pressure on defense

Exactly

 

[kell7517]

I think we need to bring heat and play up close on the Wr’s. Make their qb make fast,accurate throws.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Every drive should've had this urgency.

Urgency to score = the word that was missing in the 2nd Qtr.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

K-Town is nutso if they don't launch a bowl. This makes Nashville look so sweet.

 

[FlVols]

Not PI

Son of a!!!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Awful PI call.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I think we need to bring heat and play up close in the Wr’s. Make their qb make fast,accurate throws.

I’d take just a little pressure on the QB at this point. Make him uncomfortable.

 

[GoVolunteers]

You have to quit wrapping your arm around and hooking the receiver

 

[chuckb1448]

We are having trouble stopping the tight end/running back guy from running the ball
