The Official #11 Tennessee vs. UTEP Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

Sampson is a beast but if I was an opponent, I'm stacking the box so heavy that they're going to have to make Nico beat me

Absolutely. He's gonna miss 80% of the time

 

[FlVols]

Now blow them the F out from here!!

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

Take that Miners!!

 

[patrick]

I miss Golesh

I think this is more about defenses catching up to Heupel offense couple with poor and inconsistent oline play and mediocre wide receivers.

Defenses have always figured out the new, innovative offenses over time.

 

[Swiftybaby]

Ok let’s get started now

 

[GoVols1961]

Sampson the only player we have on offense fr

He wouldn't have got there without his OL.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Until we see a good offense again, I will believe he was a key part of our offensive success. Something hasn’t been right since he left

Same but you're gonna be told CJH calls the plays. Maybe but his OC sure is crappy in helping him game plan and seeing things up top

 

[VolGirl81]

Just run tempo. It's amazing how much better we operate.

We RARELY go with tempo anymore!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Let’s play now Voles

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Id take four really decent 2million $ qbs over Jared Milton.

Hahaha perfect name but it's Jarrett

Game plan is force the o line and Nico’s arm to beat you.

 

[VFL1127]

Nico isn't accurate enough to run tempo

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

A scoreless quarter against a crap team is almost unbelievable, but is it really with this team?

 

[Grudenator]

He wouldn't have got there without his OL.

True but the offensive line has looked like the last 2 weeks

 

[patrick]

Finally. Just run Sampson lol

I said it at the end of Q1 - go with two tight ends and just run the ball.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

You're hired.

Cool. I'll even take $1 less that CJH

 

[vol94]

Have game on car radio. I thought it was near halftime . We better be up by three scores by half

 

[Frozevol]

we should just direct snap to Sampson. Replace Nico with another blocker.

 

[vol24/7/365]

Well we beat Alabama.

Thank god! Do we dumb down to lessor teams?

 

[minorvol]

I've often said that Alabama has the most moronic fans on the planet. Then I come on here and feel like I need to take that back. Hopefully it's just a vocal minority.

Just a lot of frustration. I get it but I would refrain from saying ——— sucks, etc. Offense is and has been a struggle. Have to hit open receivers and call easier plays for Nico to get his confidence back. Hopefully that is fixed next year. Don’t see it this year. Hope I’m wrong.

Exactly. Sorry, but Heup needs to give Nico some in the face, a$$ chewing tough love. We’re so afraid a kid is going to xfer if he gets his a$$ chewed…then let them! We don’t need that type on this team.

 

[Cartervol]

Same as with Austin Peay. Dude is outstanding....knows how to get under Vols skin.

The staff is part of the team. The offense is a trainwreck and the defense is more of a contain defense and not an explosive one. Contain defenses wait for offenses to make mistakes more than an explosive one causing havoc.

Wasn't that way early in the year. They were attacking defensively.. They lay back like this next week and Pavia will have a field day..

 

[CoachClick]

Hahaha perfect name but it's Jarrett

Ty. Autocorrect. Will fix lol

 

[VOLLeeann]

NICO'S HORRIBLE PUT IN RYAN!!!!
