We just gotta take out 2 qbs every game.

Works for Bama

 

[UTFrid]

The copycat Permant's sandwhich tastes so much better now! I said it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!!

 

[lvocd]

Tell me what y’all are drinking tonight to celebrate and come off this near fu***** heart attack. I can’t decide lol

Take an aspirin and go watch something boring as hell.

George Dickel single barrel 15 year

Hell yeah, can’t go wrong there

 

[vegasvolfan]

been doing it all night, they only call them on us

I don't understand it. I feel like Tillman and our DLs defied a fix by dragging that POS DB across the line. I would love to see how bad holding was on some of Hooker's bad throws. That said seems Hooker is in a different place mentally. Too relaxed maybe?

 

[IndianaVol]

Defense came through when it mattered most in OT...would have preferred it never went that far, but a win is a win is a win against a Top 25 opponent.

We got a huge opportunity to tighten some things up against Akron next week and then.nring on them Gators!!!

 

[Zues1]

Can somebody explain the toe down is not a catch ? I still don't know how we got that call.

They explained both the toe and the heel ( out) came down at the same time..

 

[JoAllan]

Maybe it was the lack of pass coverage. Maybe the 80 yard td run. Maybe the fumble, muffed punt, and terrible O-line play. We still have a lot of good teams to play that are way better than Pitt. There’s a lot to be concerned about if it isn’t fixed.

I don’t think Tennessee has “a lot” of teams left to play who are better tan Pitt.

Some for sure……a lot? Probably not.

Because his heel on his right foot was out of bounds before the left toe came down.

No way, it’s time to party

I am still on Guiness. Switching to something stronger to celebrate.

A&M lost, Bama almost lost, ND lost. I have to admit, my BVS was kicking in on the muffed punt, but this team took away some of my BVS this evening.

If UF wins today, we are likely the Marquee game in 2 weeks. Matchup of 2 teams in the top 15. I hate UF, but pulling for them in this game.

 

[Wezcoast]

I didn’t bet thankfully lol

If you value your $ NEVER bet on a Tennessee game . Smart lady

 

[aurabass]

What the hell were you expecting? still capable of beating everyone on the schedule except Bama and UGA

Bama is beatable by a UT - Texas proved that today but was cheated out of a safety by a bogus call. UGA appears to be unbeatable so far.

Be careful you'll be called a clown and told to leave if you have a different opinion. Fact is, we gotta get way better or Florida is gonna curb stomp us.

How often did you see last year where special teams played as poorly as they did tonight? The offense will be fine. Enjoy the win people

Really? The real season starts Sept 24th

Basically he had a foot out of bounds when he caught the ball. He can drag one foot inbounds, but can't have a foot out of bounds first.

I'm definitely enjoying it. We just gotta play better.

 

[Wezcoast]

Fair enough, but 2 fumbles, INT and punt blocked. You don’t win many of those.

We won a battle of attrition. Had we not knocked Slovis out of the game they may have run us out of there in the 2nd half.

 

[He_Made_It]

Great road win!

 

[kptvol1]

2 things: what a sloppy game for us and Pitt is made of glass. I’m proud of the defense for standing strong and their intensity is what shattered the Panther players.

 

[C-south]

Kentucky, UGA, Bama, and Florida are definitely better. A mobile qb is going to kill us.

 

[Volhoops]

Because his heel on his right foot was out of bounds before the left toe came down.

I really thought I saw the right toe down and then the heel. No worries we won

I get emotional during the games. Probably way overly negative at times but I just want Tennessee to be good again and we’ve suffered too long
