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

Weird to be up 31-0 at the half and be nervous

That's a positive nervous.

 

[Vol1976]

This game has been over for a while and if you try to dispute that, you’re a special kind of stupid.

Anything can happen in the 2nd half. I watched us blow a two score lead in the last two minutes of a game with Auburn in '72.

 

[utvolpj]

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

September 16, 1995. We were up 30-14 and lost 62-37

I used to be pretty good at math and am pretty sure 16 is not 30+

I was there in 95 and remember it well

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Need to get some passing yards, even short yardage, gotta keep Joey record intact

 

[VolDave53]

Gators sad at halftime. Sounds like our board, but they are behind.

I’m convinced most of them aren’t UT fans. This was one of my favorite half’s of football in my lifetime

I can’t recall a more gratifying half of Tennessee football in recent memory. I mean, we’ve obviously won bigger games, but this one you can just soak in so far.

 

[Godfatha]

I’ve been negative but great game plan tonight by both sides of the ball. Now let’s finish them off

 

[DirtyDawg]

I mean with a lot of 2 pt conversions sure. They would need a rabbits foot, horseshot and a four leafed clover shoved up their arses to have that kind of luck.

, I know!!! Post of the night!!! Well done sir!!!

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Kiffin is watching this game and laughing to himself. He made the right call. He’ll do well at LSU.

Bout right now Fla is kicking their butt for not taking Franklin.

[DaddyChad]

Agree. I guess they forgot how we were dominating Oklahoma and lost the momentum on a sack. And going in on Alabama to get within 2 but a pick 6. I think it was smart

Agree. And in the moment it hated the call but this situationally was probably the right call. Might actually need Max to make a high pressure FG next week. Getting him some work wouldn’t be a bad idea. Scoring five more tds would please me more though.

 

[YankeeVol]

Has it been announced he’s going to LSU??

If he’s smart, he’d take that over UF

 

[C-south]

Ok I've had my complaints about clock management but I don't see how that applies here. Why are we crying about clock management in that half? Seemed fine to me.

Over 20 seconds at the 11, 1st and 10, and play for a fg.

 

[Carl Pickens]

 

[kptvol1]

If it’s not there throw it in the stands. We could’ve done it twice, then run, then kick the fg if needed.

But Joey has been know to force stuff rather throw it away.

September 16, 1995. We were up 30-14 and lost 62-37

Is two touchdowns the same as 4?

 

[JCHateSteve]

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.

Don't think I have ever seen a team take a knee in that situation, 2 runs up the middle is about as conservative as you can go. At least run a draw or something.

 

[UTFanForLife]

You don’t see the big picture. Kirby and Saban would have taken 3 shots in the end zone

Ref wouldn’t know whether Kirby was claiming or calling timeout though.

That’s a croc

C'mon man... '95 and up early in the 2nd qtr (they were only up by 9 at the half 30-21

The mo had already changed at the half in that one.... I'm not sure that FL doesn't have to have a TD, and a quick one, on their first drive just to keep people in the stadium

They don't score, they'll start to leave

Then if TN scores? It'll turn into a river of Gators heading for the exits and will be GLORIOUS

 

[DaddyChad]

I used to be pretty good at math and am pretty sure 16 is not 30+

I was there in 95 and remember it well

I haven’t drank enough to forget it.

 

[Freak]

Has it been announced he’s going to LSU??

No.

 

[ffemtp]

Don’t change a thing at the half. Keep being aggressive and pour on more steam

I like "Rocky bottom."

 

[tntornadox]

Alright alright, can we all please re-focus our mental energy onto the upcoming pick six I am trying to conjure here?
