Called it. Tennessee defensive talent is special.

So many empty seats on TV. Stop these neutral site games.

How good is Syracuse supposed to be saw a lot of us winning by about 20. We almost have that in the first quarter.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

May be best I've seen them look in long time! GO VOLS!!

 

[WillisWG]

Wow! We got lucky!

preparation meets opportunity

 

[Voltopia]

Man that right there was a helluva long quarter. Feels like it should be halftime already.

 

[Delmar]

Nitpicking a little but Thomas looked like he got too close to Joey on that fumble. Definitely got some kinks on offense to work out but I like what I see so far. Defense is still very good.

 

[Vol8188]

Didn’t realize Robinson had done so much and it’s only the first quarter

 

[Creeker]

Great first quarter, Go Vols!

 

[Chickenfarmer]

Love the play calling on both sides of the ball. Aggressive approach to win the game. Catch the dang ball wideouts! Go Big Orange!

Love the balance!

Agreed. Especially with a fanbase that travels like we do. Much rather do a home and home with Syracuse. We’d pack the Carrier Dome and Angeli would be doing even worse in Neyland.

 

[Vol524]

We are stomping the juice out of the fake Orange.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Defense on track to allow 96 yds rushing….. this season.

 

[molsen81]

Meanwhile the Manning Bowl is still 0-0. Lee Corso attended the wrong game.

 

[tntornadox]

17-0 at the end of 1. D looks sharp, O is moving the ball. How we feeling VN?

 

[jackaro]

I think I am suffering from BVS because I am sitting here questioning if Tennessee is this good or if Syracuse is this bad.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

How many games did we have last year that we didn’t score a point in the 1st half? 17-0 1st quarter even with a little sloppy 1st game play. We got a team guys and gals.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

What an interesting turn of events

 

[WillisWG]

1Q 178 yards O
