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

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Maybe we should be ranked higher? Just a guess

 

[Majors]

After 1 quarter, I'm good with the qb swap!



*hopefully it stays that way

I hope this isn’t the entire playbook…but Joey has exceeded expectations already. Offense playbook is wide open and the ball is being spread out.

 

[DaddyChad]

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

Did he come in for Moi? Bc he’s making the most of it. Dude is impressive and angry so far

 

[OrangeTsar]

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

Now here comes 3 to 4 minutes of commercials

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Man I missed college football. Joey looks so much more decisive than Nico!

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Agneli is a stiff statue.

Really

 

[rocketskates]

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

And if I’m not mistaken he came in for Moy

 

[Carl Pickens]

The man had a 42 yard run against Purdue last season. You don’t know what you’re talking about

To be fair, Purdue was worse than dead ass last year

 

[dduncan4163]

We are stomping the juice out of the fake Orange.

Yup Sunny D ain't Orange Juice

 

[Majors]

I bet the radio call for this game has been awesome

Very Ward like

I got Keith on my phone about one play behind.

Maybe we should be ranked higher? Just a guess

With the 12 team playoffs rankings are irrelevant early on. Just win baby.

 

[OrangeCola]

Amazing 1st quarter!

 

[Other_Guy]

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

More excited about the aggressiveness with aguilar than I am concerned about the missed passes and fumble. So that's a positive.
Edit: referring to the coaches confidence to be aggressive.

Oh it has, energy filled all the way through.

 

[dduncan4163]

Amazing 1st quarter!

Couldn't have scripted it any better

 

[I Love Lamp]

Man I missed college football. Joey looks so much more decisive than Nico!

100%, if he can dial in the accuracy this offense will roll.

Not to put the cart before the horse but could be the difference maker this season. Heupel’s offense is predicated on quick decision making. We’ve moved much quicker this game than we ever did last year.

 

[901 Orange]

Did he come in for Moi? Bc he’s making the most of it. Dude is impressive and angry so far

I had no idea this dude was even on the team and right now he is the best defender on the field for both teams

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

Vols are definitely getting acclimated on offense and defense. You can tell they're still figuring out how to play together but so far, it looks good.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

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.

I’ll take 17-0 with imperfect play, we couldn’t get anything going in the first quarter last year

 

[chuckiepoo]

Is it safe yet?

 

[posivol]

boys was ready to play today

 

[tntornadox]

I hope this isn’t the entire playbook…but Joey has exceeded expectations already. Offense playbook is wide open and the ball is being spread out.

I think it just shows how one dimensional Nico was. I don't mind opening the playbook if there's so many options it keeps the D guessing!

Cautiously optimistic
