The Official #22/#17 Tennessee vs. East Tennessee State Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN+/SEC Network+

The uga game is in a weather delay?

 

[Godfatha]

When do we see Merk?

Start of 2nd half I would think. 1st team offense needs reps

 

[ArmchairQB]

They may wind up being down 50 at the half, but give credit to ETSU’s strength and conditioning coach. They’ve managed to avoid a lot of defensive injuries that seem to plague our opponents.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Thomas is a frikin stud.

 

[DaddyChad]

And still was almost a catch but the receiver was being held and couldn't jump. But yes was high.

I thought it was bad at first but after watching it back I think it was probably real close to the right placement. WR just got held

 

[captainsword]

UK over Kiffen early 7-0. Always good to see Lane pout.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

When do we see Merk?

Second possession of third quarter.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Kentucky may beat ole Miss.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Not even 2 and already loves the game

 

[chuckb1448]

Boom

Pretty sure he saw the hold and just threw it away.

 

[PC Jr.]

Vols are up by 30 on an FCS opponent. You know what that means … onside kick!!

Cherish those moments.

 

[Vector]

Let's get a turnover

 

[ENGRVOL]

A little bit lopsided so far. Please just no injuries going forward.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Cherish those moments.

Oh I do, my oldest started kindergarten this week. Still wondering where the time went

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Gotta love games like these. A small school gets to play on the big stage and get their entire football budget covered. Our young guys get to play the 2nd half.

 

[MDsweetT]

Thomas is a frikin stud.

He’s got great feel for when to hit the gap and get north and south.

 

[Switch 625]

Still can’t cover a slant

Even better the money stays in state

 

[captainsword]

I was feeling sorry for ETSU until they brought up the baseball game. Vols by 100

against anyone.

 

[PsychoMantis]

Colton Hood is that dude.

 

[DirtyDawg]

Looking good TN! Many of you here know me and know I’m not full of BS when I say this, you guys should feel pretty good about hosting my Dawgs next weekend. I kid you not, our OC Bobo is terrible! Defense will likely keep us in the game for awhile, but Bobo is awful so far…….again!!!! We have some studs on offense, but if we play like we’ve played so far, you guys will embarrass us in Neyland.

Granted, I’m pissed at Bobo as I write this, but I honestly believe this.

 

[87&91ALUM]

31-0. Hood just broke up that pass.
