The Official Johnny Majors Classic Game Thread: #24 Tennessee @ #17 Pittsburgh, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

[Big Orange Rock]

We gonna punch them in the moufff this drive....

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

This is turning into a defensive slug fest. I did not expect this Pitt D. I don't think anyone did. You need kickers to win in games like this. I'm REALLY impressed with the production of the D tonight. They are getting to the QB.

 

[lilesrt]

I swear, Tennessee hasn't played good on both sides of the ball at the same time in 20+ years.

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[Matt2496]

Let's run the ball this time please.

 

[RockyTop140]

Two chances to take control of this football game and we failed this will be our third chance. We need to score.

Pitt has adjusted on defense and we can’t seem to figure it out. Man we needed Tillman to catch that deep ball earlier

 

[HighRockvol]

Come on offense the defense playing good enough to win this game by a few scores

 

[volbound1700]

Tennessee games are always stressful.

 

[joevol33]

I'll take a FG at this point

 

[Vol4Life2289]

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.

He didn’t catch it, regardless of how it happened. It still put us behind the chains.

 

[wmcovol]

Want to say defense is playing much better than the offense but it may be that the backup qb is making our D look good.

Stop with negative plays and penalties

 

[ALStateLineVol]

Sure am glad the Pitt lineman pushed his own player out after that block.

 

[Sarms58]

I watched again and I honk it was a good no call. Tillman couldn’t find the ball.

It hit his facemask…

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I get that the explosive plays are fun, but they're just so infrequently successful that it's just a wasted down more often than not. Hell, the shot to Tillman was this close to being a TD, yet wasn't, and that's a lot better than most turn out.

You don't need these dynamite highlight reel plays to beat Pitt.

 

[UTFrid]

Run. Run. Pass

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

This level of play may beat an ACC team but it will not beat SEC teams.

I dunno.

Wake beat Vandy like a drum in Nashville today.

 

[87&91ALUM]

1st down!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Well when that blocked punt happened I might have taught my two year old a four letter word. Thank goodness our D held

 

[Jaingo]

Hooker said the next WR to catch one of his bombs is getting a free meal at Shoney’s………his treat.

I'll pick up that tab!!

 

[VolArmy74]

I watched again and I honk it was a good no call. Tillman couldn’t find the ball.

The hand fighting I had no problem with. But just before the ball gets there the db grips Tillman's arm just enough to not let him get his hands to the ball in time.

 

[vol94]

Give Small and Co the Rock. Run!

 

[patrick]

Need a TD on this drive.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Tillman letting a td bounce off his face isnt exactly wru

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I swear, Tennessee hasn't played good on both sides of the ball at the same time in 20+ years.

I’ll take a win today no matter how ugly it is.

 

[Vol Main]

Sneak!

 

[DaddyChad]

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

They’re not saying it at their stadium. they’ve cleared out.
