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

[teeball]

I have to give Joe credit thought...........12/13 166 and 1 TD.......hes looked pretty good today.

Joe has made some nice throws downfield (kudos to Joe) BUT the bulk of his completions are BEHIND the LOS where the receivers make YAC's.

 

[volpreacher]

Missouri was tied with Georgia at the half. As bad as we’ve played and only behind 6???? That’s encouraging. We’re winning this

 

[JRich]

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

So the piss poor effort on that last drive is Banks’ fault? The bad tackling?

 

[TJSVOLS]

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

Because they are playing soft and can’t get off the field.

 

[AllVol23]

Cook and shrader. Only D adjustment needed. If someone else beats you so be it. I don’t think mizz is capable.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Huh? He has 105 on 18 carries.

I'm joking around my man.

I gave up taking these game threads too serious around 15 years ago.

Just having a little fun. Don't like seeing the Vols lose but don't have an aneurysm over it like some on here anymore.

 

[landscapingvol]

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

Some people on this board believe we are national title contenders based on name alone, Heupel is by far the best coach we have had since Kiffin and probably Fulmer. He needs a new DC and secondary coach. Banks isn’t even a good recruiter

 

[Bleed-Orange]

We ran a successful play that got a 1st down on 2nd and 7. The fumble was just a great hit by Missouri. Taking a time out before the play was not needed.

 

[Matt2496]

We were down at halftime against Texas A&M, so I’m not terribly worried at this point.

 

[Cartervol]

You can't give that run up at the end of the half. Tim Banks defense looks about the same in year 3.. Still can't tackle, still giving up 3rd and forever and the secondary is still horrible 3 years in.. I just don't see the light at the end of the tunnel here.

 

[BradentonVol]

I think this first drive will dictate the outcome of the game

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Gotta brush off that fumble and score 7 here or it’s gonna get nasty.

 

[volpreacher]

Joe has made some nice throws downfield (kudos to Joe) BUT the bulk of his completions are BEHIND the LOS where the receivers make YAC's.

Only about 3 of those are flare outs.

 

[The Original Fade]

Eli Drinkwitz. I don’t think I would get over losing to him Lmao

Well he’s outcoaching Heupel by a mile this game so far

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Yeah, if we hadn’t fumbled, we would’nt have to be listening to all our soft azz fans complain on here.

Not as soft as our defense

 

[Manning4ever]

Milton has good passing numbers. They are beating us on the ground. It's only a 6 point game, with some adjustments we are in it

 

[DaddyChad]

Like the strategy Heupel, get the F ups outta the way before the third quarter this time.

 

[theroyz71]

I know it's a one score game but we got dominated in the first half. If not for a great catch by Thornton, we'd be down 13-0.

 

[ftsandersvol]

The good news is we are only down by 6. We come out with a different attitude and we can take over this game. MZ is going to be over confident coming out of the locker room.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Eli Drinkwitz. I don’t think I would get over losing to him Lmao

They are 8-1 and had a chance to beat Georgia. He's goofy af but he isn't a terrible coach. Losing to Beamer is exponentially worse.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

We better stop letting Shrader gash us like he is.

 

[AllVol68]

Yeah, if we hadn’t fumbled, we would’nt have to be listening to all our soft azz fans complain on here.

Someone from cali calling someone soft? lol. I was complaining before the fumble.

 

[CR-vol]

Joe has made some nice throws downfield (kudos to Joe) BUT the bulk of his completions are BEHIND the LOS where the receivers make YAC's.

I mean if you have to find something to whine about in the never ending let's complain about Joe Milton saga, yeah. But 12 out of 13 completions ain't bad. Guess we gotta dig deep to criticize him.

 

[posivol]

Herring absolutely killed us in zone coverage. I could not believe they kept putting him back out there.

carter out today

Nope, Huep still doesn’t have this program anywhere we was in the 90s or early 2000s but by golly he’s getting us there instead of the other direction like the last 17 years of tn football I watched .
