The Official #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[njvols]

If we are going to run Milton has to keep it more. If he kept it on the third down it’s an easy first down. Don’t get it.

 

[Persian Vol]

On pace to have 12 plays so far

 

[The Original Fade]

Well, at least they have had some penalties

Fake news. I’ve been told on here for 3 weeks that the refs are involved in a conspiracy against Tennessee

 

[Orange931]

They’re just dinking and dunking the hell out of us

 

[sonofUT62]

It’s their own damn fault

They’re the ones that went 3 and out and took 1:14 off the clock?????

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

6 whole yards of offense in the first quarter. That might be an all time low for a quarter

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Looks like the holding calls will not be called today, secondary is playing soft as Charmin

 

[knox73]

Vols get the ball to start 2nd half.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Won’t need a lot of points to win this one but doesn’t look like we’ll get many possessions either

 

[The Tall Gguy]

It's drink a fifths strategy to keep the ball away from us.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Okay for those melting down. We go through this every week.
This team will give up yards. Inevitable at this point.
The goal is to keep them from getting 6.

Missouri is bad in the red zone, Tennessee plays the best defense there. Two things need to happen, win the red zone on defense, run the dang ball effectively.

It’s one thing to give up yards and hold them to 3. Giving them 13 minutes of possession in the first quarter and 24 plays to our 3 is uniquely bad. Our defense is going to be gassed if we can’t get off the field.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Team **** their pants on the road, just like at Gainesville and Columbia.

Wasn't aware the game was already over?

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

offense is well rested.....lol

 

[Dergibvol]

If they don't have a spy on cook here....

 

[fossilfiction]

25 plays for mizzou in first qtr.
3 for vols. not an ideal way to win such an important game.

Point. 0. That's the end game. Just not for our offense...

 

[DaddyChad]

People raising hell about the defense? Offense needs to do it’s job

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Abysmal 1st quarter

Yes it was but still 0-0 at the moment. This team doesn’t play with a lot of fire. That bothers me.

 

[Allvols98]

Question.


How many times has holding been called? Or pass interference ? In sec play.

 

[volfan102455]

Bad defense and bad offense will do that

We have not had the ball enough to know what the offense will do. Good grief!

 

[TN1111]

Bad defense and bad offense will do that

If the defense would get one freaking stop we would get the offense more touches. They have only had two offensive possessions themselves, but they pick up 1st after 1st....

 

[orangerush]

Our defensive philosophy is ridiculous, literally played the whole 1st quarter.

 

[CAVPUT]

Weird, I could have sworn someone said/posted that Mizzou was really good in the red zone.

 

[VOLinAL]

Stop playing zone. This team can’t do it.

Don’t think we have the speed to play man. That’s why we play zone and limit big plays. Just have to stop teams in the red zones. They will move it on us easy before the eared zone. Zone is frustrating though.

 

[alavolfan]

Sheeze. First Qtr was a bust. If the offense can’t get points and sustain drives, it doesn’t look like the defense is going to get it together, they are going to beat us bad.

 

[KTrain]

Well going fast on O & wearing their D down is out the window . We’ve had the ball what 55 seconds. That first series was just pathetic.
