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

[All Vol!]

Early impression is that Joey is a run threat, arm is gold over the middle, needs to settle in on outs and sideline throws. I'm good ya'll. With all our other weapons, I think he doesn't have to be elite, just above average, and he's certainly that so far.

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.

Agreed. There’s a lot of different ways it’s taught, but a lot of teams put that fake mainly on the RB. Because you want your QB to have his eyes on the defense. Looked like he got too close

 

[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

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

Nico always looked overwhelmed even before the games started.

 

[volmanbill]

If we can score on offense, defense and special teams in every qtr this year, I’ll be a happy camper!

A little sloppy to start, but nothing we can‘t fix.

 

[TNVOLnTX]

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

You are not alone. I like a lot of what I see but cant tell yet wether Syracuse dropped off from last year or that we haven't as much as expected?

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Maybe we should be ranked higher? Just a guess

Always better to be underrated early in the season

 

[RavinDave]

We are stomping the juice out of the fake Orange.

Going to beat them to a pulp.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

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

More of a comment on how badly they’ve underestimated us

 

[DaddyChad]

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

I “think” he was brought in as a project.

 

[chuckiepoo]

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

First quarter scoring? Who knew?

 

[BruiserVol]

They’re just going real fast. Damn right lol. I can’t help but question what happened between 2022 and now. Where did this pace go?

 

[Carl Pickens]

.

 

[volpreacher]

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

I think he came in for Moi too

 

[jcvol87]

I wish it was like the days before the delay with radio and could listen to the volnetwork along with the tv. How’s Mike Keith?

 

[tntornadox]

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.

I think that tells how you they feel about their QB... and how they felt about their prior one.

 

[Pride85]

So just a one quarter suspension for Boo.

 

[Gandalf]

AI is crazy on those personal injury ads lol

 

[BleedOrange81]

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

Have been hearing how good he looks in practice this year and last. Glad to see him on the field.

 

[Chickenfarmer]

I bet the radio call for this game has been awesome

It’s about 12 seconds ahead of tv. Will be great in a close game. Know what happens before you see it!

 

[Creeker]

Boo Carter sighting

 

[Vol8188]

Is it Eason and Bailey inside right now?

 

[Dansky]

First quarter scoring? Who knew?

Wish receivers could catch catchable balls, not perfect throws but should be caught

 

[ButchPlz]

No contact DPI, OK.
