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

[loservol]

We've got a qb that the coach is scared to let throw the ball. Think about that.

Imagine if we had a just decent QB.

 

[posivol]

Vols offense produced a whopping 13 points. But for a punt return for a touchdown, it’s a tie game.

Vols aren’t going to beat Bama or GA with Milton at QB.

Thank goodness for great defense.

seen alot of running lanes against bama today

 

[Orange931]

We’re 5-1 with Milton. Miracles do happen.

 

[Volfan2012]

please tell me what either team can say went well today. Go head.

I think the defense and special teams went well for Tennessee. Other than that nothing.

 

[volfan102455]

Are you serious?????

I am. We still would have not gotten the PI calls. The crazy penalities would still have happened. You want to put it all on the QB. A different QB would not have magically made the PI calls get called or the penalties not have happened.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

please tell me what either team can say went well today. Go head.

We won against a good defensive team.

But of course, your ego won’t withstand that.

Lol. That’s a low rent overused comment. I don’t even know Milton - by all accounts he is a wonderful young man.

By his football stats he is a below average QB even after being in college for almost 6 years. He isn’t a good QB and I had no part in that.

I’m a realist. I am judged every day on my own work performance and I can’t just make excuses.

You can go ahead make excuses for Milton - I’m not going to. I call a spade a spade. Go play your 25 cent parlays Joshy boy.

Fantastic reply sir

Our running game, special teams and defense

Literally the best post I’ve read today. Agreed 100%. To think that Milton deserves the spot merely because of his personality is an insult to the players who work hard and are probably just fine people as well.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

It sure is nice having Rocky Top on prime time CBS beating people. Just like the days I remember growing up.
Beating Jimbo and Ol Evel Knievel is even better.

 

[Drewbydoo]

Defense was nothing special?

Their offense was terrible so what's so great about vol defense today. AM couldn't get out of it's own way, so they were going to be low yardage and sackable.

Vols don't pass the eye test of being ranked in top 25 anymore.

 

[Tenacjim]

Well that took 5yrs off my life Our defense is legit. Go Vols!

Well at least you are still young. Us old farts don’t have 5 years to give every week!

 

[Flipdaddy]

Wow Texas A and M is terrible team.

 

[BruiserVol]

All you chicken littles that said our defense was a by product of the weak schedule can kick rocks

Our db’s still showed they can’t turn their heads. Fortunately for us, A&M looks just as lost as us on offense.

 

[Volfan2012]

Jalen Wright 19 for 136 that is seven plus yards a carry.

 

[tnvols72]

Washington just scored on Oregon to take the lead in 2 plays

 

[barney]

Honestly, with these referees calling the game, I'll take a win and not whine too much about how bad the game was. These refs must get F grades every single week.

We obviously have some deficiencies in all phases of the passing game: QB, receivers, and pass protection and that continues to be a theme with these team week to week. I want Keyton to sit until he decides to stop dropping passes. I think the team has a higher ceiling with Nico but it's probably too late to try to get him ready for our top end games. If Milton remains the starter he has to run the ball more.

 

[Alumni_06]

We gonna get ate up in Tuscaloosa if this is our offensive reality the rest of the way - me being in BAMA gonna hear about it for the next year.

Obviously glad we won, but we have to be the least disciplined TN team ever.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Why. And I would say offensively, the wheels have fallen off

The wheels are off and the rear end is about to fall out.

 

[youre no daisy]

cant resist pass it back aggies

 

[BigALWiLson]

We lucked out. Awful game but glad we won.

Lucked ? We could have beat them by 30. We won the game even with a bad day offensively. I think it's a good thing Def and ST beat a good team on a day that was bad for the Offense.now I will say QB play has to get better in a hurry .... Will it, I dont know and truthfully I doubt it this year. I will say it is a combination of Milton and WR. It's not all Milton though.

 

[posivol]

we played bad to throw off bama. genius lmao!!!!

good one....lol

 

[tnvols72]

If we had Penix we would be nasty

 

[volfan102455]

237 yards rushing against the defense that held Bama to 23 yards net rushing.

lol it was an ugly game for both teams. It was just one of those games. D played great. Don't be so critical.
