The Official #11 Tennessee @ #6 Alabama Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Titans4Vols]

Do we blitz enough today to make Simpson feel pressure or do we rush 4 and play zone all day.
I’m an optimist, but a realist.

Bama's o-line is not very good and our front 4 is one of the best in the country. Should be able to get plenty of pressure without blitzing. They rank 91st in the country in sacks allowed per game at 2.1.

Assuming our front 4 shows up and plays to it's level shown so far this season(best in the country at sacking the QB), rushing 4 and dropping 7 in coverage most often will be our best chance of success.

State and Arky struggling to score.

Yep, but didn't against us

Im going to be mad if A&M joins Big 12 teams Texas and Missouri as making it to the SEC champ game more recently than Tenn does.

Miss State is having a case of the Tennessee Swamp Bug where Florida is doing everything in their power to give the game away and they just refuse to take it.

Well, don’t be surprised. We have gotten back to winning but yet to turn the corner on being elite.

Missouri wasnt elite then, just got lucky with a bad East. Texas got an easy schedule. Just saying, BVS says it'll happen.

Georgia refusing to lose is more impressive than last years refusing to lose.

Won't matter, best scoring offense in the country.

Hm. No reason for you to watch because of a blanket statement, and now no reason for me to watch because of a blanket statement.

Whatever shall we do?

Let’s go Volunteers.

Time to shock the football world!

Correct

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Is Clark Lea a great coach or is Pavia just a once in a lifetime QB like a Tebow, Manning, Manziel?

I think Lea is a solid coach plus Pavia being a great QB. I dont think he is on the level with Manziel, Tebow, Manning or even someone like Cam Newton. But he's a great player.

 

[Volbrando]

Georgia is so freakin lucky. Gah

 

[FlVols]

Let’s Go Vols!!!!

Texas and A&M have a major leg up ever since NIL went live. Lotsa money. As far as Missouri goes you gotta give Drink credit. He’s annoying as all get out but he’s done a heck of a job there.

Ga survives and UM implodes

Against the “elite” A&M defense at that

 

[alavolfan]

I live about an hour north of Tuscaloosa. I left the Bammer fans a little note on the highway the NW bammer fans use to go to the game… . And here it us the next morning… triggering BAMMER fans is fun!

 

[deatojl]

Yep, but didn't against us

Arkansas scored 17 on us in the first half and has scored 20 on A&M. They finished our game with 240 yards rushing and have 218 in the first half against A&M.
