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

I know it’s just the first game of the season but I owe hazle/heupel an apology. Maybe Nico was just that bad.

Too much baggage. I truly think it affected the whole offensive side of the ball.

 

[UTFanForLife]

Damn dude is only 17? He was 16 when he enrolled at Syracuse? How am I just now hearing this.

Flipping over to OSU-Texas and they look like a battle of Galapagos Turtles. 7-0 OSU

It's like watching two fat chicks fighting for a chicken wing

I hope Joey A. balls out this year and gets us far into the playoffs.. let’s get it!!!

 

[BigOrangeD]

Anyone miss Nico?

Doesn't the word Nico mean Traitor?

2nd Q reaction

D held them to 4th and long and they connected on our DBs. They are missing McCoy.

LONG BALL IS BACK - Perfect play.
Staley is the dude. Great answer to the TD above. Let’s hope our defense is as deep as they say, because our O was on the field for 2 plays. I still think we need more COMPETITIVE depth at LB. In due time. That brings up a point. I wonder if our d was a notch better last year because we weren’t on and off the field on offense?

By the way, this play calling is night and day. I believe that has to do with having Aguilar at the helm.

Not super happy about the conservative play calling on our line we should have been aggressive. We saw what we should have done the next series.

Liking Matthew’s

Good to see us return a ball

What a run/series by bishop. The called back TD was a TD imo

Staley is bringing it today . Heard them talking about him on 104.5 the other day saying he may be a surprise this year .

 

[patrick]

Everybody does it to us, why not I guess…

But it’s funny when we do it because it’s 9 times out 10 after a quick td or point after attempt.

Anyone miss Nico?

This one ?

Enrolling at 16 to play power 4 football is nuts.

 

[Volfan76]

Staley emerging as #1 receiver.

 

[minorvol]

Can we all agree to not mention the previous quarterback’s name the rest of the season?

I’ll agree to that.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Now GET OFF THE FIELD

 

[rocketskates]

I will take it. Remember, we are playing Syracuse.

I see your point but regardless of who you’re playing if the receiver burns the corner it’s just pitch and catch like practice. Nico overthrew the ball multiple times against game opponents last year and I suspect he might’ve missed on the play that Joey just made.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

love seeing all the new numbers in both sides of the ball.

 

[tntornadox]

Get off the field.

 

[patrick]

Blitz again.

I’m liking C Hood.

 

[posivol]

come on d

 

[MAD]

Hendon Hooker is back.

Post of the day

 

[TheVolsFrog]

You have to mix it up. To include on 4th down.

If we sold out and gave up a big play, you guys would also be upset. It’s a joke

Defense is owning this OL. I'll take the chance on 4th and 10 that he wouldn't get a long pass out

 

[LadyVolette]

That’s a baby - 16 playing football in college?

 

[TN1111]

No zone here!!!

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Why did we call a T/O there....geezus

That was utter confusion.
