The Official #11/#9 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

I think so to

Why would Nico hit the portal, he's got the reins for 4 more years?

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Yes expect no, you're not getting rid of Gardner lol

Do not get rid of Gardner.

 

[TrojanorVol]

This is a horrible defensive game plan. It doesn't mean we fire the defensive coach. It means we remember it and adjust from the mistakes. It was like we are playing prevent defense in the whole game. We need to create turnovers and play a little risky to get the ball back more often worse case scenario. Who has Hadden in there? He is soft and doesn't make many significant plays considering the playing time he receives. This is one on the coaches for sure... lack of aggressive play calling to sum it up on the defensive side.

 

[Credo2]

Mullen picked us to win

So did Tebow

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Lots of "we lost" posters here, who haven't seen Tennessee @ Notre Dame 1991.

Whole different kind of Vols there, sir.

 

[Bollweevil]

Nico

Transfero

 

[BP4Prez]

Hopefully Nico has the reins by then.

It doesn’t matter with this line

 

[Sarms58]

Defense

Were probably looking at them scoring 40 on us defense has shown no ability to stop them. Defense would have to bring a shutout for us to have a shot at winning.

If the offense can put up some points then maybe the D will see some hope…but if the offense can’t do anything the D is going to just continue to fold

 

[hardyemt_p]

Bet there hollering code brown in the. Locker room

 

[UTK]

Year 3 and I think Year 1 was better on defense. May be the worse defense I’ve seen at UT. Worse than Sunseri

Defense played pretty good the first two weeks. Weak competition. But they were a no show today. No consistency. Plus Banks is stubborn to a fault. It cost us against South Carolina last year and it’s gonna cost us this game.

 

[PA Vol]

I doubt we will keep everyone with this **** show

Worse teams than us are keeping players. NIL changed things.

 

[DWright39]

I still do not get why Heup went away from his offense set that he has ran since he has been here to this circus we see now

Yeah that’s a real head scratcher.

 

[Hairy Vols]

Milton will make a career at County fairs and local picnics hosting orange throwing contests. “Pay $10 to see if you can throw an orange further than VFL Joe Milton, University of Tennessee of Quarterback 2022-2023.”

My man is a college graduate and a very nice/intelligent dude. Maybe he won’t make it at football, but to pretend he won’t have a successful life is silly.

 

[Frank Duncan]

That's what I'm seeing.

That's what I'm hoping.

 

[Pennheel]

I'm almost tempted to skip the rest. Hate feeling that way, but this is making me upset, and I shouldn't let a game do that.

Agreed.... While this is really frustrating to watch a team like this not play like they should,it's best to call it a night. I'm sitting here tonight with my stepdad like I do every Saturday,and neither of us are in a great mood. I'm just glad UNC looked good today and got the win.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Had to go to a party and couldn’t watch after the first few minutes. Probably the best thing that’s happened to me lately

Keep drinking, you'll need it

 

[orange_glory]

Is there any Tennessee Vols support groups around Clarksville?

Just Google AA

 

[joevol33]

Nico

Ain't happening, probably

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Why would Nico got the portal, he's got the reins for 4 more years?

NFL after 3 years.

 

[Switch 625]

I’m starting to think that Hooker, Hyatt and Tillman masked a lot of Heupel’s stink. He’s been awful this year.

 

[hUTch2002]

You keep saying that all over this thread. Not a dang person on this thread is saying he's the only problem. The entire team looks like @#it. It's just that Milton "still" looks like crap and you folks have went all week being hostile as hell to anyone who thinks differently.

Because he isn’t the only problem tonight. I didn’t say anything like what you claim so tell that one to someone else.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

I want so badly for hooker to Heupel to not be what dobbs to butch was.

 

[rocketskates]

What did you say last year in SC?

Same thing likely. This is the worst beating I’ve seen since then. They are very similar.

 

[Sara Clark]

Disagree. I think it would be great for Nico. No pressure on him because the game is done. Just let him get comfortable with the offense. Also, how do we know Nico won’t light it up? He may not but that’s expected.

I don't know what the answer is, Train. I just know Milton isn't it.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I think Heup has lost faith in Joe, He stopped letting him throw it down field same as with Austin Pea, and the way he was burning up the clock before the half of this game. I would be shocked to see Joe come on the field in the 2nd half.

Prepare to be shocked. You're acting as if we have an intelligent coach..... we don't. Milton will come back out to start the 2nd half and throw some more sweet screen passes.
