We have this game now. Tennessee's a 3rd and 4th quarter football team. Coker being in is going to open things up for Ainge. Our defense just needs to keep surviving to the best of their ability

Hopefully we'll come out with some more defensive intensity. Penn State is beating themselves right now on offense.

Agreed, we are not THAT good to say we are too good to play them... Both teams lost to the top teams in their schedule, Id say that makes us about even in respect to our status in our conferences.

Why are you guys so down on Morelli? He looks like an All American against our pitiful D.

This is honestly the best game I've seen him play since our Blue/White scrimmage in the Spring. He obviously benefitted a ton from bowl practice. This team would have won in the Horseshoe this year with average QB play, as Tony Hunt made them look like HS players trying to tackle him and our defense kept them out of the endzone for the most part. Morelli looks very good today, it would just be nice if we'd catch some more passes. That's partly on him though, he throws it about 95 MPH no matter where it's at.

It's obviously no fluke that they held Wisconsin to 10 and Michigan to 17.?

We are lucky to be tied. Our defense is making a very sorry Penn State QB look like Joe Montana.

Fulmer was pissed at halftime interview. We will play berrer in second half.

i dont see why we dont try to get MEACHEM involved more. he's the best player on our team. we need to at least throw one big A$$ bomb to him to to try it. Penn State has thrown like 3 bombs against us and 1 worked and the other 2 we got lucky they dropped the ball.

i agree we could be down right now. PSU's QB is alot better than i thought or our defense is terrible, i haven't figured that one out yet.

From watching all season, he is just playing better than he has. He finally learned to look off a safety on the passes down the sidelines to Butler and he isn't skipping every other pass.

I've been saying for awhile, all season we were a decent QB away from a top 15 team.

i watched him play quite a bit this year and our defense is making him look like a stud. in all the other games i came out thinking if penn.st had a good QB they would be a top 25 team.

We are more talented at every position, if we are coached right and have play calling that isnt retarded (that reverse) then we are probably up 17-3 or something. Anything short of a BCS bowl game is bad for Tennessee. Just because its a new years game doesnt cut it.

foster has had a pretty good game but since Coker's explosion i don't see him getting much more playing time.

we need to play much better in the second half... for sure... hunt is only going to get better...

Penn State's defense held three Top 10 teams to under 20 points. To expect Tennessee to blow them out is a bit ridiculous.

What was so bad about the playcall? There was room to run with a clean exchange. If that play goes for a 20 yard gain you're thinking how smart Cutcliffe is.
