Official Orange and White Game Thread -1:00 PM, SEC+

[OrangeBeachVol]

So has Nico taken the starting job back from Merck now?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Where is the crowd?

Limited by construction.

 

[VolForLife83]

I think Heup told them to hold off the defense for Nico

 

[RAVOL]

TD Tennessee. Nice route by Nimrod.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Nico obviously logged onto volnation after that last drive and saw all the Merk for Heisman talk

 

[LittleVol]

look at Big O getting downfield and making a tackle

Big man can move

During the game against Iowa last year, I remember feeling like the time it took for the ball to get to the receivers’ hands seemed to take a minute. I just had that feeling once again watching this game. It finally dawned on me, I had grown accustomed to the speed at which Bazzoka Joe threw the football.

Where is the crowd?

"The capacity is limited to 10,000 fans due to the renovations going on this offseason at the stadium. Still, the game is a chance for fans to get a look at the team before the Vols open up the season against Chattanooga.

Tennessee will likely be down a number of players for this year’s Orange and White game as the Vols play things cautiously with a number of key players."

So you want to use the first game of the year in a game we ran for almost 300 yards as an example of line struggling. Okay.

Did you watch the first half? Parts of the whole game. True, first game but, we were picked to be better and we struggled early.

I think Heup told them to hold off the defense for Nico

No.
Nico started playing and stopped thinking so much.

Merk put some heat on him

Neck and neck. Last one to throw a TD to a PWO wins the job.

 

[87&91ALUM]

#13 got game. Depth at QB helps everyone.

 

[peaygolf]

Where is Navy Shuler when he's needed?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nico done

 

[VawlDave]

It’s so nice to not see egregious overthrows or worm burners.

 

[butchna]

Who flipped the script and threw to a non-PWO?

 

[84Volfan]

There are some crazy good athletes on this team

 

[87&91ALUM]

Where is Navy Shuler when he's needed?

I thought he graduated.

 

[TN1111]

Great catch and adjustment by Matthews

 

[87&91ALUM]

Moore to Matthews! Rocky Top is officially WRU.

 

[RAVOL]

Nice Route Nice throw Moore to Matthew's. TD. In CHRIST Alone

 

[butchna]

I thought he graduated.

They reviewed it and he flunked gym...back for another year.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Looks like we have a lot of offensive tools. Good to see.

 

[BradstarVols]

Who was covering Matthews? #24?

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Great catch and adjustment by Matthews

Yup. After last season WR drops. I was kinda expecting a drop
Made a good adjustment to the ball and took it to the house
