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

[TartanTurff]

When Tenn gets blown out by Georgia you'll look back, MAYBE, and realize Missouri is a good team.

Missouri is also a well coached team, team Drink is hungry and operates on a fraction of what Tennessee has tied up in its football staff and operations, Tennessee defense has been a problem since Heupel got here, Missouri had nothing but problems when Drink got there from App State University in Boone, fixed their offense, making headway on the defense, we'll see what Heupel is made of in the second half, otherwise, it's 8-4 and back to the Music City Bowl or worse,

 

[keckjm]

42 offensive plays for Missouri that half and 0 holds.

23 offensive plays for Tennessee that half and 2 holds.

We just aren't getting an objective whistle this year, period. It's laughable at this point.

Maybe we are just a very undisciplined team… Which seems to be a common theme. I’m not trying to be that jack&& that’s overreacting, but we consistently s@@@ the bed on big road games under this staff. I’m in no way saying Heupel needs to be on the hot seat, but you can’t make the errors we consistently make.

 

[Other_Guy]

Maybe like cover the guys out of the backfield.

No bro he was D2 they need to cover the hobbled WR.

 

[UTK]

That’s a stretch. MO is not Vandy, but still embarrassing to have played so poorly.

I think of Missouri in the same category. Can’t help it lol

 

[Manning4ever]

I hope Squirrel is OK, I looked at again and I think he may have been buying us time. If he was that's smart gamesmanship. They boo us either way

 

[charleyhorse]

Only 2 proxedure penelities on Missouri. We start 2 drives with holds. Put 44 on line or bench. He’s toooo slow and is running behind sxhrader

 

[JRich]

They are better than the players Missouri has on the field (minus Burden).

Ha! Laughable. Open your eyes.

 

[UTfan94]

They are executing that gameplan too.
We look soft.

 

[Volizona]

Doesn’t paying a staff $7 Mill put that responsibility on the coaches ? Ain’t it there job to see the kids are ready to play ?

Tired of the coaches getting a pass. It’s year 3 of big boy football. They get paid to get the job done.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Had a 3 game parlay, tn wins and I would’ve won 200, but I cashed out so I didn’t jinx us lol I’m okay with just 50.

 

[DaddyChad]

Joe Milton sure goes down easy for such a big guy!

Milton has been the least of our issues so far.

 

[volfan102455]

Schrader just ran for 12 more yards lol

Huh? He has 105 on 18 carries.

 

[90 Vol]

I've missed most of the first half...I see a lot of complaints about the defense yet we only have 7 points? Wazzup

Our defense is playing like a 1A high school team.

 

[lilesrt]

Why all the hate on the defense? This is a complementary game. The offense hasn’t sustained drives.

 

[ChrisOnRockyTop]

There's one thing about it though. We don't have to worry about any of our coordinators taking a better job offer somewhere else

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Danielson wants to have Schrader’s love child.

 

[vavolfan6]

My biggest hope is that our coaching staff was waiting until halftime to start making serious adjustments on defense. Let Mizzou think they have a good game plan until the 2nd half where they have to respond to our adjustments on the fly.

 

[Vol_guy]

Yall act like we are down 30. We are down 6. As bad as the game has been we are down 6. We get the ball to start the half.

 

[whodeycin85]

Agree, but will you go into the TN locker room and tell the players, please? Hopefully they come out with some fire as they look like they don’t want to be there. Just my opinion. No excuse for D to play this badly. None. Busted assignments on running and passing plays.

I'd love to!!!... we need to get outta thr zone...man up and spy cook and have Thomas and Simmons clogging the middle

 

[perico]

Wright fumbled it on what would’ve been a scoring drive. Milton looks slow running but has been lights out throwing the football. Literally half our team has been injured and John Campbell continues his streak of bad holding calls.

 

[amaralfan1]

Mizzou has sold out to stop the run. Milton is obviously feeling it because he just had his best half of the season. Defensive adjustments and we will have this well in hand.

 

[GetEmVols]

You bet on your own team. Rookie mistake….


Cashed out early… smart

 

[RAVOL]

We shall no early in 2nd half if we are ready to play because 1st was bad football. LB play was atrocious. They are playing soft zone and we are not able to run them out of it. There our 2 halfs let's look like Tennessee Football Team should look. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Other_Guy]

Huh? He has 105 on 18 carries.

93 receiving yards. The dude is single handedly spanking this defense.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

You kids don't make me come back there!
