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

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

He does. Once in a while he'll run powerfully--but he often doesn't. The guy running the ball should be a major weapon for us--but mostly hasn't been. He often seems indecisive or hesitant about running--and a moment's hesitation can mean a lot.

 

[Manning4ever]

The players gave up the yards.

By your logic no coach should ever be fired

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

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

Before this staff you know the last time Tn was 7-2 in consecutive seasons?.. sometimes just sit on your hands so you don’t let ur heart say stupid things. It’s gonna be okay

CH’s team plays scared on the road. We may have a better chance to beat Georgia than Missouri.

 

[volcop1]

It's year 3 for him. With the portal to his benefit. Good coaches adapt their philosophy to the personnel.

that applies to offense, but not so much on defense, you need jimmy's and joe's

 

[Volnbeers]

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.

I have some unfortunate news for you…..

 

[OrangeVolMan]

The players gave up the yards.

Based on your comment, we don’t need coaches. It’s just up to the players.

Coaches have to get players in right spots and we are not doing that. Also needs to get Herring off field, he is too slow for this game.

 

[I4Vols]

We gonna need to go Ray Charles in the second half

Esp in the flat

 

[RockyTop140]

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

Look at the time of possession. We can’t get off the field and mizzou is grinding our defense down every drive. They’re shortening the game

 

[AllVol68]

This D needs someone to go Al Wilson on them at half.

 

[Delmar]

Jalen Wright fumble was bad.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a good fumble unless the other team does it.

Only had the ball 9;50 of 30 min half. Started two times 1st and 20

 

[TexasVolfan1]

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

We might get blown out by Georgia. Doesn’t change the fact we should be winning this game comfortably. Transitive property doesn’t work in football

That was a Pruitt (cornbread) coached team in first have. That was terrible

[The Original Fade]

They are executing that gameplan too.
We look soft.

Amen

 

[ftsandersvol]

Our team is not in this game. Playing way too flat. Somebody needs to jack them up in the locker room. We are also getting out coached. I was hoping it was just the first 15 scripted plays, but they see we have no fire.

 

[C-south]

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

It’s better to cover the 40 yard pass than cover the dump off and let them run for 50.

 

[LibertyVol]

Just a stupid take. Mizzou is a top 15 team and took UGA into the 4th. You're living in the last 2 years. This Mizzou team is legit and ready to pay us back, and we no showed in the first half. Let's see what this team is made of in the second half. They got punched in the mouth. Will they punch back or fade. We'll learn a lot in this second half IMO.

I am going to have to disagree with the what this team is made of. I think we know. And god I hope I am wrong.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

This Mizzou team is tough any of you expecting a cake walk needs a reality check, they took Georgia to the 4th and was winning that game until the refs got involved. Settle in

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

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

Yea this isn't true at all. Their rb is the leading rusher in the sec.

 

[patrick]

No running game today. Gotta open it up in the second half as long as we have enough WRs to field a team.

Lol. If you say so.

 

[Vol737]

Well I’m not impressed with Mizzou, which says a lot about the Vols effort today.

Yep. Mizzou, if they were really competent, should be up 21-7

 

[crawdaddyjc]

maybe vols can get sampson rolling

 

[turbovol]

A winnable game if our defense can get cranked up in the second half. The fumble was a 6-point swing.
