The Official #20 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Some of you "fans" would cry if it was 50-0 at half

 

[utvolpj]

We’ve been up by 30+ in Swamp before and lost. Have you forgotten?

I guess so. When was that?

 

[OrangeTsar]

I'll take 31-0. But I don't understand why we go ultra conservative like that in those situations.

Ultra conservative would have been to to take a knee. Kept pushing downfield but with safe plays.
Or are we forgetting the 14 point swing with the goal line pick six to end the half against Bama? Take the points and go into the half up five scores.

 

[FlVols]

SC was up 30-3 at half against A&M…just sayin.

It’s not over!!!

Florida ain't A and M

 

[RDU VOL#14]

As much as I've been pushing back against that statement in the past

I apologize

There's gotta be a "reason" for that series

The reason is the last play of the first half of the bama game and the last part of the OU 1st. No need to do something stupid and give them momentum going into the half .

 

[Smoky901]

That’s the kind of $&1! That makes me question Josh’s in-game IQ. Absolutely no reason for two straight runs from the 11 yd line with that much time to work with.

 

[DaddyChad]

Stupid decisions like that are why he'll never be a championship winning coach. Just mind numbingly idiotic clock management and play calling at the end of the half.

Meh, maybe but you go back to pass and bad things can happen with a TO late. Kick the FG drain the stands and make it a five possession game.

 

[SKV84]

So who is going to defend that?

Lmao...its 31-0

 

[volbound1700]

The only thing I can figure is Heupel goes conservative with a big lead is to prevent injuries. Very well could be wrong, but its the only thing I can figure. You have 10 seconds to go for a TD you have to take it, but he didn't.

I am not sure Florida's offense is strong enough to come back. I also think they may start quitting.

 

[C-south]

Hear me out, didn’t want to pull the same shiz as we did against bama before half.

Two different types of incompetence.

 

[molsen81]

When has that happened.

When we had the great Peyton Manning

 

[OrangeInKy]

Some of you guys need to get a grip.

Im going to get less of a grip

 

[Stephen A Smith]

Told you ladies what would happen.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Guys over here getting a “meets expectations” on their annual evaluations but they’re mad and calling Heupel the worst clock management coach in the league when he’s got a 31 point on the road against one of our biggest rivals.

if only your job had a message board, Darrell.

 

[Ty4Vols]

Poor clock management. Doesn't overshadow a dominant first half, though.

I respectfully disagree. I believe there was no way Aguilar was going to be allowed to throw an unnecessary pick 6 there. The FG was the goal when we gained possession and that was achieved. Aguilar has lost some trust and the player calls begin to look like they did for Milton.

Just my opinion

 

[BigBadVol]

When your life sucks you criticize near perfection.

 

[utvolpj]

When we had the great Peyton Manning

Nope we were never up 30 with Peyton. We were up 16 once

 

[NO SIR EEE]

We’ve been up by 30+ in Swamp before and lost. Have you forgotten?

That’s funny, because NCAA records indicate that Florida has never in their history came back and won a game when they were down 28 plus.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I guess so. When was that?

I do remember a 21 to 0 at the half that we lost under Fulmer. I don’t remember a 30+ though

 

[deatojl]

We’ve been up by 30+ in Swamp before and lost. Have you forgotten?

When?

 

[GAVol]

Lmao...its 31-0

People are amazing.

 

[Voltopia]

Some of you "fans" would cry if it was 50-0 at half

Well ... yeah but it'd be tears of joy.

 

[Sara Clark]

When they introduced Urben Myers, vol fans started chanting "Aaron Hernandez." Lol

 

[Vol737]

Fulmer was never up 31-0 at the half in the swamp

Pretty close in 96. I was there and FLA absolutely beat us senseless in the 2nd half. I think we were up 31-10 or something like that.

 

[Volizona]

Brother it’s 31-0

I assume you know the history of this rivalry? That poor clock management could come back to haunt us. You do NOT squander ANY opportunities against this team. Terrible game management to end the half.
