Smoke rises

It’s sad this game won’t be played at 3:30 on CBS. The 2022 Intro was the best game intro ever. This game is supposed to be played on a crisp late afternoon on CBS.

Nothing that has happened to this point matters, the defensive woes, the puzzling conservative play calling(at times) by Josh and Tim, this is the TSIO and everything will be thrown at bama. More steam all day. This will be a team that is cocked and locked, ready to bring the fight to Alabama all game.

It’s year 5. Josh will get the big road win and end the streak of road losses at BD. Tennessee 37-23

No Gary, ever again.

If we win, it may be a similar type game to 2022. I recall we were missing what felt like our entire secondary that game.

This year our safeties are atrocious, and the linebacker play isn’t much better.

The 1995 game in which Peyton broke the streak in Birmingham by throwing an 80 yard TD to Joey Kent on play #1 was a night game. So was the next year in Knoxville. And the next year in Birmingham. All Vol wins.

Banks has a great blueprint from the Missouri defense. They were in Simpsons face all day long. He was never comfortable.

Great post...............30-20 Big Orange!

He had a game plan for Stockton from ND last year and a blueprint for Beck from Bama last year. Doesn’t seem to matter.!

You'd think we were 0-6 this year.

Beck throwing interceptions all last year when under pressure… so you’d think we’d be aggressive to get pressure… nah man, we just sit back and let him feel comfortable.

No, you wouldn’t. But up to this point our defense has been near the worst in the SEC. I don’t understand why some of yall act like any sort of criticism is unacceptable

If we hold them to 27 we will win.

23-31 with 3TD’s. Pretty good QB play on the road against an undefeated team.

No Gary, ever again.

Hey, he was great in Happy Gilmore AND Happy Gilmore 2.

 

[HalfullVol]

Hey, he was great in Happy Gilmore AND Happy Gilmore 2.

No, he wasn’t.
As a matter of fact, his performance was forgettable as I don’t recall his being involved.
Verne Lundquist was memorable as well as Bob Barker and John Daley!

Excellent point! I was going to type something similar. He might murder us over the middle and slant us to death but the pressure is gonna be there. We might see 'deer in the headlights, FSU' Simpson. Shocked Kirby couldn't generate more pressure in that game. If given the time, that kid can put it where he wants it all game.

The real loser in this is CBS. Last weeks Oregon versus Indiana game was probably their biggest broadcast yet this year and still ABC had higher ratings.

Agreed. It actually was their most watched game of the season so far and unfortunately for them still well below what the SEC is doing. The Red River game drew 8.7M, Bama/Mizzou had 7M, and UGA/Auburn was 6.7M.

The game broadcast averaged 5.59 million viewers with a peak of 8.361 million, according to CBS, which also uses Nielsen Big Data + Panel ratings. That was up 31% from last year’s Week 7 game between Penn State and USC and the network’s most-watched Week 7 game since 2022, when Tennessee upset Alabama.

The '22 Tenn/Bama game that they compared to drew 11.56M - more than double the Indiana/Oregon game.

Banks is not good

 

[BruisedOrange]

And for an older generation, it's a game that should be on ABC with Keith Jackson at the mic.
C'est la vie.

It was a 3:30 start game, actually (I was there). It did end in the dark, though.

 

[Boogie]

Been feeling negative about the game but I'll starting drinking the Kool-aid because this hyped me up. Vols by fiddy!
