Defense bailing us out

 

[jbarnes6]

D is finally doing the job. Time for the O to put this away. No excuse not to.

 

[volrush77]

Wow! Our defense is actually making stops and our offense looks like a deer in headlights.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

‍♂

 

[Sarms58]

Maybe we should try a run…

 

[UTK]

We need to score, it’ll literally be over.

 

[JO VOL]

Need to drive the ball. The refs aren’t going to give us a call. Drive… the… ball..

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

There goes momentum

Momentum is fickle. We only lost field position, not points. Up to us to execute on offense. Hate 4 did not grasp that game changer a while ago.

 

[C-south]

No good!
Stop the BS play calling and go for the throat

Can’t drop it in the endzone

 

[BluetickVol01]

If we don’t start running that damn rock! This isn’t the damn Big 12!!!

 

[Volstylexx]

The Vols just can't have nice things.

Somewhere right now a Pitt fan is saying the same thing.

 

[happy-go_vol]

Just ptupid plays.

 

[rocketskates]

Please put this one away O.

Honestly. In a game like this one more touchdown and some sound defense will do the trick. They can’t move it. 14 points would feel like 35 to them at this point.

 

[vol94]

That was a perfect throw

He’s referring to the over throws and slants to tight end etc

 

[chef3531]

Bring on the Squirrel!

 

[Zues1]

Come on coach , time to show them who you are

 

[615vols]

Big break there but letting them hang around with a backup qb… need to score now and end this sh**

 

[TheBigOne10]

Bury these motherf******* right now!

 

[teeball]

Probably would’ve worked on the weak side. It was working there the entire game because that DB is weaker. But whatever I’m just armchairing at this point

Aren't we all ... armchair coaches are never wrong ... lol.

 

[cwbytruckers]

If we ever schedule App State again im demanding a refund for my fanhood. They are playing A&M scary tough today.

 

[VolArmy74]

Why do we have to throw on every play? The first play of that drive should have been a run. I get we like the big plays but when you miss on first down then get a penalty, it completely kills the drive.

The first play of the drive produced a wide open receiver in the endzone and a ball that hit him in the chest. The Pitt DB grabbed his arm just enough to cause an incomplete pass but the play was excellent.

 

[Vol_guy]

Brooks has looked slow all day.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Vols hold em. Let’s goooooooo! 24-17. I’m feeling another TD coming for the Big Orange! And yes that was PI on Pittsburgh last series.

 

[dduncan4163]

Maybe we should try a run…

I was just about to say that lol

Bc haven’t been able to run at all.
