The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Mississippi State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN (hopefully it stays)

Thornton out for rest of the game with upper-body injury.

He was grabbing his head after his last catch on the sideline. Probably another concussion.

 

[mudhen]

Can we just finish off these people?

 

[VOLifornia]

I am “hoping” that the injury items being mentioned are all precautionary in looking forward to next week. I mean if we have the win in hand it makes sense to be cautious.

 

[Stacmot]

Play calling hasn’t been good tonight on offense or defense. Why did Sampson have 20 carries in the first half?

 

[Mccage]

Lewis is a big boy. I met him and Matthews in February and he was atleast 6” taller than Matthews lol

That would make him 6 7

 

[Swiftybaby]

Obviously glad for points but why not take a shot on 3rd there?

 

[Grudenator]

Playing with a backup QB...this is how it should be called. We've thrown plenty of shots down field even with Moore

Yeah and he’s looked more than capable of executing any play called

 

[BJSforVols]

Uga or msu?

MSST

 

[posivol]

What are they doing?

burning clock

 

[KeyVol14]

only givin up 14 points but it feels like 30

I don't understand the approach with only 3 down lineman. We've yet to adjust to it

 

[OrangeInKy]

I suspect that most of the posters here would have taken a 33-14 win before the game started. We try to eat our young on this board. Sad at times.

With no Nico second half. You bet.

 

[Grudenator]

That would make him 6 7

Matthews ain’t 6’1” I promise lol

 

[NEO]

He does, but consider the defense he's facing. A little more pressure from the defense with better coverage can make it look a lot different.

Looks better than Nico did.

 

[KeyVol14]

Yeah and he’s looked more than capable of executing any play called

We're up 33-14.....

 

[VOLifornia]

Can we just finish off these people?

We just did!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I won't lie, this offense is looking good with Moore. Love Nico but I am not that concerned about having Moore as QB.

Granted, I think Miss State is bad.

They are calling a whole different offensive ball game with Moore in.

 

[RAVOL]

Up 19 now D let's get a interception here and get 1 more score

 

[Vegas_Ferguson]

Why does Kitselman disappear every other game? Seems like as solid a target as is out there.

 

[GhostVol]

I need a blowout like I need air to breathe

Kinda looking like one

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Good to see Gilbert have s good game though.

Happy for him. His life had to be hell for a bit. He can sleep easy tonight. That 51 yarder was a huge turning point for us.

 

[rocketskates]

Max Gilbert is Will Byers from Stranger Things

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Can we just finish off these people?

Pretty much just did.

 

[Swiftybaby]

If Nico is out next week we will have a hard time even keeping it close!

Pu$$

 

[PsychoMantis]

I honestly don’t think it’s that big of a fall off from Nico. Obviously gotta see more series but…..yeah.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Gilbert showed restraint not giving our fans the bird after that 51 yarder.
