The Official #19 Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[VOL_Lyfe]

I'm actually amazed some of you guys didn't commit suicide during the Butch Jones years.

Funny, my therapist said the same thing

 

[Renaissance Hillbilly]

That Trooper behind CJH looks like an android.

This guy....

Buckle up we are in a big boy game. It's close we should be at worst tied though. Time to strap up and get tough. I have faith the offense will move the ball and score in the next 30

 

[Drewbydoo]

It would be hard to sneak Hooker in even if he was healthy.

fake moustache and claim he's undocumented walk on

 

[charleyhorse]

But, but, he can throw 90 yards! That's all that matters, isn't it? And he dances?

90 yds and TN receiver gets hit Pryor to catch, sEC official out of position TN no call

 

[I4Vols]

My 1H grades

D lines - even
LB's - even, maybe slight edge Vols
DB's - TA&M B+, Vols C
O lines - TA&M B maybe C as they had 2 qb sacks, Vols B-- maybe C due to holding penalties killing a drive
Rb's- Vols A-, TA&M C+
Receivers - TA&M A-, Vols C (really miss Bru)
QB's - TA&M B+, Vols C- (on the curve...)
Coaching Play Calling - Vols B, TA&M B-
Coaching Decisions - Vols playing down to Jimbo level

There is no one to replace Milton in this game & the confidence level that he can complete enough drives or a long TD pass(s) with this set of receivers is not something I'd bet on.

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

Nimrod is leading receiver in the first half with 20 yds. Squirrel has 2.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

For how we wasted his talent with terrible teams or how we don't have his talent now?

I embrace the power of "and"

 

[vavolfan6]

He looked good during the Spring game and in the least will go through progressions..

 

[90 Vol]

A&M gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Defense must set the tone on the first drive. We can’t go down by 10

If we go down by 10, we’re burnt toast.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Erin?

Joanie loves Chachi

 

[lifeisdeep]

Exactly.... hard to argue with the success of Heupel's offense, but I'd love to see those more often.

It's quite simple to argue with the success of his offense so far in this game, because it hasn't had any.

 

[igotworms]

Yes. Much.

Proof??

 

[LadyinOrange]

We need an interception run in for a TD.

 

[posivol]

buckle up vols...lets dominate the 2nd half

 

[rocketskates]

They will figure out our run if we can’t pass that’s for sure

We’ve been running it by the backs being patient for lanes to develop; but you’re absolutely right—they will just stack the box and sell out to stop the run and then we’re screwed.

 

[C-south]

lol good grief. When did I say it was going to click. Go yell at your wall about how bad Joe is. Maybe it will listen and care.

Keep believing a 6th year qb is going to “step up”.

 

[GetEmVols]

Ramalamadingdong

I’ll take it

 

[VOLFan65]

But when Joe DOES get it up for a TD…..Catch the ball. (Paging Ramel Keyton….Paging Ramel Keyton….Anyone home? You’re better than this!)

 

[charleyhorse]

I wish we’d run a Half back screen occasionally. The only time I remember us running that was for a touchdown vs Florida

Play calling w rushing defense is horrible

 

[ButchPlz]

We need an interception run in for a TD.

Let's not be picky, a fumble would work too.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I'm actually amazed some of you guys didn't commit suicide during the Butch Jones years.

A lot did attempt to, but they could not complete it.

 

[volnutlolol]

we gotta keep our chins up! next year fellas

 

[igotworms]

Yes

Based on what? Your wittle feewins?

 

[orchidvol]

I’ve been a Milton supporter 100% all season but I wouldn’t even be opposed to trying Nico on a series or a few plays. 36 yards passing in a half ain’t gonna cut it. A&M’s qb throws the ball like a drunken uncle at a backyard bbq and even he’s doing better.

Your description of Max Johnson is pretty funny. I agree, he's not good. Milton is not playing well but Heup has probably decide we ride with Joe this year regardless. Nico's the future and we don't want his confidence rattled throwing him out there before he's ready.
