The Official #24/#18 Tennessee vs. Syracuse Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

[tbh]

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Completions over the middle are dandy, and the run game is doing its thing.

 

[VolGirl81]

This offense looks a whole lot more like Hooker than Milton and Nico. I’m not saying Aguilar is Hooker but we look more like that team.

My husband is downstairs watching Texas-OSU and I literally just yelled down our offense looks like when Hooker was playing. Love seeing that tempo!

 

[Deathandtaxes]

Again… I would like to say P Lewis is the X factor to this offense… he is going to be a PROBLEM in the best way.

Looks like a rock fight in Columbus - still naught to naught.

 

[UTblood4life]

Shows the qbs minus hooker couldn't go warp soeed

 

[87&91ALUM]

Go freaking Vols! Loved that drive! 10-0 Vols!

 

[volpreacher]

4-5 drops so far, not perfect throws but catchable. Offense lookin 2021ish

Good grief it’s the first game

 

[RAVOL]

Great Start Guys 10- Vols. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Pride85]

All he needs to do is get his heartrate and adrenaline down which will hopefully bring the passes down a bit.

 

[Volnbeers]

After watching these first couple of drives…was nico really that incapable of running an offense?

 

[mpfvol]

Joey A is much more suited for this offense than the former guy.

Yes he a better runner and knows when to run

 

[LivinginthePast]

So far I love this. Let’s see what time banks can do again

 

[37620VOL]

Paintin' Lewis with a masterpiece to finish of that TD drive

Laying the wood like some happy little trees.

 

[whodeycin85]

JA had missed some... But most are catchable and should have been catches..

 

[tntornadox]

I am very much enjoying the mix of plays on the offensive side. Run, pass, QB can run. Keep the 'Cuse D guessing.

 

[sechamp2012]

He’s thrown some high but a good receiver will catch it especially if you get both hands on it. Can’t throw it perfect every time. Kustleman made a great catch a lotion front of him but looked like a pro hauling in. Matthew’s has dropped 3 they weren’t perfect but if he wants to be big time needs to catch those.

 

[I40VOL]

One thing that encouraging is that we don’t have 4 receivers standing at the sidelines running all go’s, using the whole field

 

[MeanOrange]

3 or 4 of the throws on that drive alone,,, Nico would have been hesitant to throw.

like that Aguilar took off running as soon as he saw the opening. Not sure Nico would have done that.

 

[Chippo]

4-5 drops so far, not perfect throws but catchable. Offense lookin 2021ish

Probably just some offensive jitters.
I'm sure they will settle down.

 

[Caz]

Payton just punked that guy on his way to the endzone!

 

[Orange931]

Looks like a rock fight in Columbus - still naught to naught.

I hate Texas but I hope they beat the hell out of OSU

 

[ochocinco]

a slow processor. offense looks so much faster than last season.

Yeah. I’m honestly in shock. We got a huge upgrade. Offense won’t have to hold back this year

 

[jaxvol]

Looks like Syracuse D is gassed after two drives

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

3rd and 10 and they run another pass play and Aguilar nails it. That's trust.
