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

[posivol]

offense is well rested.....lol

lol

 

[Volnbeers]

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.

Maybe this is a strategy to wear their offense out

 

[VolMarine1371]

This game is starting like the Florida game.

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

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.

when we play man their QB scrambles. Just need to realize this team is good on offense

 

[vavolfan6]

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

They have good efficiency rate, but that inckudes FGs too.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Missouri is a damn good team folks

No they’re a solid team, not damn good. This is a team who squeaked by mighty MTSU and Memphis. Cook is throwing the ball 3 yards past the LOS and we have no one around.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Relax...?

 

[njvols]

Let’s hold them to 3 and win the second quarter

 

[OrangeInKy]

I’m impressed by the Mizzou fans’ awareness of the situation when their team has the ball. They get quiet. I wonder if they’ve been trained professionally.

 

[fossilfiction]

Right, I mean we shouldn't expect better play from the defence in the 10th game of the season, should we?

Nobody said that, but to expect it at this point in the season, well, that is on you.

 

[Score50]

I hate playing on CBS. The announcers suck and the game takes 4.5 hours to play.

 

[TennTom]

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.

I could have swown I heard Missouri is the best in the country in the red zone.

 

[CAVPUT]

I've seen holding on 95% of their plays. Why do we never get that call..

Come on. Mizzou is by far the more physical team. They're motivated and ready to play. UT is looking like we did vs SCjr in 2022.

 

[Manning4ever]

Team stats, mizzo 138 total yards, Vols 6

 

[UTK]

Chill out negavols. Mizzou has opened up the playbook and still only dinking and dunking.

The main concern is our defense will be worn out quicker than their defense. But hell that’s the defenses fault. Get off the field bums

 

[patrick]

offense is well rested.....lol

Never got off the bus.

 

[UTfan94]

Nevermind...lol

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

IDK. Everything going as well as it could for Misery and they didn't score in first quarter AND they've had the ball "the whole time". If I"m a Misery fan, I'm thinkin, "Vol defense is legit"

Nah. If I’m a Mizzou fan I’m thinking “these guys can’t stop . Stop playing conservative and go big.”

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

But there is soooo many positive plays occurring. Vols might hold Mizzou to under 30 plays in 1st qtr.

And nobody is forcing anyone to read the game thread which will reflect what is happening…in the game.

Lol. I don’t think so

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

So far, just like Florida game, Banks did not have his defense prepared...

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I've seen holding on 95% of their plays. Why do we never get that call..

There’s holding on every play of football pumpkin. Find another excuse for us to lose.

 

[theroyz71]

Sack!

 

[90 Vol]

Defensively we have 2 choices. We can get more aggressive with our game plan or we can get our azz handed to us. Your call coach Banks.

 

[Caz]

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

You have a point. But can’t play defense this way
