The Official #21 Tennessee vs. #17 Iowa Citrus Bowl Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ABC

[midtnvol2]

Don’t know what mays was doing on 3rd down but you gotta block somebody

 

[Bryan1]

Oline playin like garbage and Sampson needs to do better.

 

[BJWeeks]

Nico has some great awareness. Just give him an Oline and receivers and we are unstoppable on offense

 

[VolunteerVFL]

I can appreciate the humor. You just never know on here sometimes if people are being serious or not.

Touché. It’s out of my system now.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

It wasn’t all on Joe, folks.

Agreed. O line been mostly trash all year.

 

[bpalmer28]

Need offense to be efficient

Our WRs are only able to get open on come back routes against soft coverage. Been a problem all year. Why we need Stewart

 

[KnoxRocksOnRockyTop]

They showed them. Are you blind?

lol, literally the whole squad. 2nd cousins, 3rd cousins. The one guy that’s always at the house but no one knows him, etc.

 

[Zues1]

Once again we need to move the pocket to give our QB time. The line is what it is, not great

 

[GAVol]

We are also seeing why Sampson while dynamic was 3rd in the chart....to many mental mistakes..lack of blocking, doesnt seems to do the lil things small and wright do..

Yep… he wrecked 2 big gains on that drive.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I thought Iowa was all about the fundamentals?

Interception in the end zone and then they field that punt inside the 10.

Good for the Vols. Time to start crashing down with the safeties to fill some running lanes.

 

[rocketskates]

It wasn’t all on Joe, folks.

Been saying that all season. I do think Nico will end up being the quarterback, but Joe had the misfortune of following Hendon who was probably the best QB we’ve had in 20+ years. Had Joe followed JG we would’ve been singing his praises.

 

[allstar34bd]

It wasn’t all on Joe, folks.

Are you Joe’s agent ? Nico could’ve started day 1 and had the same results as Milton and we’d be further ahead

 

[GoVols1961]

Sampson was the hero and the villian of that drive.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

That’s an understatement. This may be the worst OL we’ve ever had.

Derek Dooley says you don’t need a line.

 

[MiramarVol]

We really miss Alex Golesh on offense

Does Golesh coach OL?

 

[bigdaddy]

Welp time to hire Jamie Chadwell at halftime this team sucks we aren’t going to win. Maybe 4 wins next year.

 

[chattavol420]

Been excited to watch some more athletic defensive backs get on the field. Was cool to see Tarantine out there. He made the touchdown saving tackle then finished it off with the INT. The RB should have beat him and made the touchdown but he showed good discipline to break down and not bite on the fake.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Is Mincey and spraggins both out?

Yes

 

[mpfvol]

Nico is going to have to take off more

 

[BigALWiLson]

Nico looks good others need to step up. Sampson needs to make the play of the shovel pass and hes likely still running.

 

[Sarms58]

Need a stop…3 and out

 

[rocketskates]

Touché. It’s out of my system now.

Ok. Just don’t let it happen again.

 

[Cartervol]

They're going to have to roll him out. He's not going to get much time back there..

 

[vader]

A pick 6 would be nice

 

[KeyVol14]

Yes

Explains a lot
