The Official #15 Tennessee vs. Akron Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN+/SEC Network+

Aaron Murray needs to stop being so cool.

Ikr quit making us like you!

 

[GoVolunteers]

Now I just want to know about Tillman and Smalls

IT’S FLORIDA WEEK!!!!!

And we are 3-0! Been too long!

 

[GhostVol]

Coach looked ticked. Maybe all the dirty shots, and sucky refs.

Looked to me like he wanted to scrape someone's face off the bottom of his shoe......

Saw a coach look like that after a win once.... we ran like there was no tomorrow at the next practice

 

[Deathandtaxes]

How was the handshake? Anybody see it?

 

[TNHopeful505]

Those games are fun.

6 years since we have been 3-0. Feels good.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Not much interaction at all.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

Not much interaction at all.

Love it

A blow out may not be exciting, but it sure beats a slug fest. A Vols win is never a bad way to end a Saturday.

Our players looked engaged from start to finish (maybe a little too engaged at times.)

Hopefully no significant injuries going into Florida.

 

[imavolfan]

With BYU and Michigan State losing, Arkansas and Miami struggling, ( all,of which are ranked higher than us) do we move into the top 10?

 

[give_him 6]

Hope this USF-JortsU game goes to 8 overtimes

 

[MoreSteam]

Need the Gators to eek out this win against South Florida so GameDay might go to Rocky Top next week!

(I've never said "need the Gators to win before...and never will again!)

 

[TNHopeful505]

Id predict 11 or 12.

 

[djohnnyg]

Should we root for Fla to win or lose? If they lose they'll be more desperate and angry.

No, never. Gators suck. Go Bulls.

Objectively, we shouldn’t move much. Akron is an awful team and we really didn’t prove anything except we blew out an opponent we were supposed to.

Brooks takes forever to boot the ball.

This is his fourth year punting. How many punts has he had blocked? Two, maybe? The one blocked against Pitt was 100% on the punt protection. A defender should never have a full speed undeflected path to the punter. The one that was close today was one of the times he decided to go Australian football kick.

None of that crap matters. If they come in 1-2, then that's amazing

 

[vol94]

Not much interaction at all.

Not much for either coach to say after one takes the other’s team behind the woodshed.

 

[DaddyChad]

This was a BS game with BS officials.

I like the Dawg. Obviously impressed with our QB play and depth.

Objectively, we shouldn’t move much. Akron is an awful team and we really didn’t prove anything except we blew out an opponent we were supposed to.

But teams ranked above us are getting beat...Number 11, and 12, got beat fairly bad today, so I'm going to predict 12, or 13...

 

[MoreSteam]

No, never. Gators suck. Go Bulls.

I agree...BUT, would be nice to get a win over another ranked opponent.

Still, would be hilarious to see them fall to South Florida.

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

But teams ranked above us are getting beat...Number 11, and 12, got beat fairly bad today, so I'm going to predict 12, or 13...

True. We may move due to others failures, not necessarily because of anything we did tonight.

 

[malibuvol]

More than anything, Milton getting confidence and settled in is good just in case Hooker gets banged up. That's good, even if we just see him in mop up this year.

Does Milton have another year of eligibility??
