Marshall is giving Noter Dame all they can handle btw. 15-12 ND with 12 minutes left.

 

[UTwild82]

Alright, boys. Way to settle down and find your groove. Let's bring this W home.

 

[dduncan4163]

Our receivers our too big and strong for Pitt's DB's. Mismatch all day long

Yup

 

[C-south]

Luckily their qb can’t run but if we keep leaving guys uncovered it won’t matter.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

We need another stop here. Still plenty of time to score. Not sure what Blacklege is on when he was talking about us having three timeouts and 5 minutes. 5 minutes with 3 timeouts is 3 drives for us.

That TD drive was 3 plays and 35 seconds.

 

[CaliVol2009]

This thread would make a great study in mass formation bipolarism...

Post of the game, lmao

 

[Volbrando]

Now let’s play some solid fundamental tackling defense

can we do that?

 

[Peyton Berry]

Atta baby Hooker!!! Good to see he’s shook it off and hitting the deep balls now! First McCoy now Tilman!

 

[DaddyChad]

The announcer said we are on pace for 108 snaps. That is amazing. Pitt D will definitely be gassed if we are able to sustain this.

At the rate of the hits on Slovis, his ass maybe grass before the game is over.

 

[Volbrando]

That TD drive was 3 plays and 35 seconds.

That’s Tn football

 

[SAPPER 5]

I hope I live to the finish lol

LMAO! Hang in there, Hoss!

 

[KeyVol14]

Calm down. It's a game thread, and no one watching that first quarter had any reason to "feel good" about where things were headed.

My arguement it’s a 60 min game

 

[VolDave53]

The offense gives me hope and the defense gives me no hope.

And yet, it was a pick in the end zone and a sack on 4th that have essentially turned this game.

 

[Frosty]

Good things games are 4 qtrs and not 1 huh.

 

[fossilfiction]

This started really bad, but Slovis is feeling it. This is about to swing our way big time after halftime.

 

[casetopia]

Our Pat is better than their Pat.

 

[Vtonerider]

Weird how the announcers are saying Slovis keeps taking a beating and that he won't last the year this way. Amazing how us not hitting him us having that effect, eh?

Yes because announces aren't supposed to set up "hero" drama and storylines. When he starts throwing short, leaving the pocket early, tucking too soon and dropping instead of taking a hit, I'll agree we're "smashing" him. Until then we're "pressuring" him.

Fair points

 

[VolArmy74]

We probably need 28 more to win.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I knew we had this.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Not to be greedy but a stop and another score before the half would be really nice.

 

[guido4198]

Our FOUR point lead could prove to be real important as this game goes on and both teams essentially exchange TD’s .

 

[MeanOrange]

Kudos to Hooker. Impressive long ball throws.

 

[Schasz]

Yes indeed. 3 and out. And score another.

Unfortunately, the 3 and out the way the D this has played to this point is a best very problematic!

 

[Rifleman]
