The Official #11 Tennessee vs. #20 Florida Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[UTK]

If he beats you with his arm. So be it. If he beats you with his legs so be it. But make it hard on him. That’s all I’m asking

 

[dhurt8955]

The biggest thing I hate about our defense is they can get teams in third and long then give up a first down. Florida did that at least five times to keep drives alive.

You don’t remember John chavis?

 

[Sarms58]

Can Richardson possibly have as good a second half as he did the first half? I thought he was suppose to be a weak passing QB. He was nearly perfect in the 1st half. I sure hope that was an anomaly.

We’re giving him open short passes…I know it’s a gamble but press coverage and dare him to pass the ball accurately down the field.

 

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

We also got a National championship and have had absolutely nothing to cheer for almost two decades now.

It sure as hell wasn’t because of him. It was in spite of him.

 

[Jeff Clark]

1 half away from me be the toxic vols fanboy I was born to be!

I've had to put a lot of negavols on ignore

 

[VOLtaism]

Bullrush him and he will cough it up.

 

[rocketskates]

Even though it was before my time on this earth, it makes me proud to be a Tennessee fan knowing that we fielded the first black SEC QB. Pretty cool.

 

[perico]

Hooker is the best player on this team no doubt. My post was about two incompletions to TE’s being Hooker’s fault instead of the TE’s as some people are stating.

I don't think the second one was anyone's fault. He had about a 10% chance of completing that running at that speed and throwing across his body.

 

[wmcovol]

shows how bad our OL really is

I laughed when “experts” said they expected Tennessee to run on Fla. Hell Tennessee hasn’t run the ball consistently on anyone since 2004.

 

[Frozevol]

I agree. I don’t think Richardson would handle it every well at all. He’s way too calm because there’s been barely any pressure.

It’s not for lack of trying. We’ve blitzed they’ve picked it up. We just gotta get nasty or wear them out.

 

[tomq_123]

Oregon isn't so good Wash State is leading 17-9 at about halftime

Bo Nix.

 

[pharmDvol11]

This defense has been disrespected all year. Time to step up

 

[Peyton Berry]

To much time to throw had all day to pick out receivers to many times. Need a little more pressure from the Dline.

I think a lot of times they aren’t trying to get to him, just trying to contain and keep him in the pocket.

 

[gr82batnvol]

Force him to his left. He rolls to his right over and over

 

[jdaniels100]

I knew we would make a passer out of AR …. Lol

 

[Volholic]

They need leaders on defense. Need an Al Wilson type.

 

[vols2345]

Keyton catch and floridas dumb 3rd down gimmick play sold the game for the gators. Time to extend this lead

 

[AllVols]

From what I've seen this year, unlike last year, we are a2nd half team. This is where we start running up the score.

 

[tvolsfan]

I genuinely don't understand the confidence from some of you but I hope you guys are right.

 

[jhcrane14]

Hooker is the Man

I agree, the only thing I want to see Hooker really do is slide at the end of running plays.

 

[UTSuave’]

You don’t remember John chavis?

Bend don’t break!…chavis defense was top tier when he had talent….but when our recruiting slumped towards the end of fulmers tenure here is when he declined…

 

[posivol]

If we can get 2 defensive stops in the 2nd half we win

lets shut em down 2nd half

 

[Woodrow Call]

All I know is we're ahead at the half, have been able to move the football and can make defensive adjustments. I'll take it.

 

[Sarms58]

Even though it was before my time on this earth, it makes me proud to be a Tennessee fan knowing that we fielded the first black SEC QB. Pretty cool.

Pretty good baseball player, too. Great athlete and great person.
