That Goal Line Stand

[DinkinFlicka]

Just thought it deserved its own thread.

Good job boys. Way to bring it home! GBO.

 

[Longhorn Vol]

Was awesome

 

[TAF]

Dey Bow'd UP!

 

[TJVol95]

Big boy football!

NO 11's tackle was one of the best I have seen all year. Mano-a-mano and No. 11 destroyed the RB. He is a ball player.

 

[walkenvol]

Saved the season

 

[SpookyAction]

Stout in the Clutch. That made the season.

 

[TNHopeful505]

For them to have been on the field for 42 minutes of 60 minutes....70%.....they dug deep for that one. Kentucky's gameplan was to wear us down. And they couldn't do it.

Craig Fitzgerald deserves a lot of credit for tonight too.

I stated in the what other fans are saying thread that I did not really think they knew about HT11. I think they do now.

My heart stopped when he went down.

That tackle was nothing but grit and "I want it more than you do" determination. It saved the game.

What a gut check and the boys stepped up!

 

[JoAllan]

I didn’t notice who covered the pitch out man.....but whoever it was, indirectly won the game for Tennessee......without doing anything, except his job.

The QB had to keep it and Tennessee had 2 in on him and they made a great stop.

 

[Rockytopvol86]

They bowed up and didn’t break. Shouldn’t have come to that but glad Bituli is on our side!

Also one thing to note:

Epstein didn't kill himself.

 

[allvol123]

Epic.

Brought back fond memories

Man what a difference, from Ga St to this game. They wasn't ready then. Now they are almost ready to shake tree that is the SEC. The D bent but it didn't break. It held firm against an option offense. At the goal line. What more, as Vol fans could we ask tonight?

 

[OneVolNation]

Yeah, the QB faked the pitch out but our men stayed home and wrapped him up as well as anyone could hope or expect of them. Great goalline stand.

 

[VolFanatic27]

Too many times we’ve watched our team blow a play that the entire game was riding on. Not tonight!

Nigel Warrior. I thought the same thing. Trust your teammates.

 

[jp1]

People can say what they want to about coach Rocker in terms of recruiting, but the guy has the DL unit playing better every week. Credit to the players and coaches on that side of the ball.

I think it was Warrior. I thought i saw number 18 flash by.
