The Official #11 Tennessee vs. #7 Alabama Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

[CPVOL]

1 running at Williams with his back turned. Just like 87 spectating on drive 1. When did it become OK to kinda “hang out” on the FB field? This ain’t a vacation for sightseeing. WATCH THE MF BALL!

 

[vavolfan6]

I don't get why we can't just get our best cover man, McCoy to shadow the 17 yr old. Milroe isn't even reading the field. Just stares the kid down.

 

[spacificislander]

Martinez special

It’s hard when they on the field the whole game. We have 2 first downs

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Heup has lost his mojo , this is 2 years in a row where our offense has sucked

He has to have great QB play. The offense is totally dependent on that.

 

[connor]

This is going to be a 31-13 type of win for Bama

And that’s being optimistic by giving us that the way this offense looks.

 

[RockytopJYB]

Bama finally scores. They can’t keep relying on the D to save their butts. That’s what they did last week. D is getting tired of inept offense.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

welp thats most likely game. defense could only last 1.5 qtrs because the offense is complete trash. this wont be fun the rest of the game.

 

[RockyTop140]

Well with the way UTs offense has been playing this game is almost over.

It’s almost like some of yall didn’t watch the game last week. This defense is gritty. We will be in this one until the end.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

This deficit brought to you by Nico missing wide open WRs

 

[Volintheswamp]

At this point, let’s see what Gaston Moore can do.

 

[C-south]

They need to start playing Bonnie Tyler at practice.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

We’ve got to come out and do something different on offense. We can’t only lean on the defense.

 

[Vol1956]

Defense is on the Felix to long
Tenn needs to run the clock and let them rest

 

[jaxvol]

Here comes the beatdown! Defense can only hold them out for so long. Anybody know the time of possession?

15 to 3

 

[therealitytheory]

Their tackle held us on that play...worse than Campbells.

 

[teeball]

Ah come on, if he wasn't getting paid, we'd all be complaining then too.

If he wasn't getting paid millions we might have a head coach that would sit him down for a series or three.

 

[Volfan2012]

No doubt they would eventually score had the freaking ball entire game. Nico can't make a throw and the coaching staff has no plan.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

They will pay off..your unrealistic expectations will hurt the team More then being patient

I actually don’t have unrealistic expectations. But we should have some expectations. Taking care of the ball and being average is all I really ask for in his first starting year. He’s not doing either.

 

[Sarms58]

Time for the offense to step up and answer

 

[jcvol87]

I’m sitting here in north endzone and the officiating is awful… I’m not sure what to expect but we can not go into halftime scoreless or it’s over

 

[OptimisticFan]

Time to put in Moore for a series?

We should put in Cooper Mays at QB.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

What are you gonna do Vols. We need a response.

 

[Vol8188]

Remember when Milton and Co put it all together?

Milton wasn’t a freshman.

 

[Go47]

I think of it this way:

If we had USC / Vandy / TAMU / Mizzou / pretty much any other team’s QB . . .

We are a top 5 team and winning this game right now.

And no - it’s not all on Nico.

But he is JG like right now. Maybe he comes out all balls out the rest of the game? Not seeing it.

 

[barney]

I am ready to fire multiple position coaches on offense
