The Official #12/10 Tennessee vs. Virginia Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

Defense is playing way beyond expectations. Offense has not. Missing Golesh?

Golesh didn't false start. He didn't drop a 50 yard pSs. He didn't fumble a punt

 

[tennrich1]

Just stopped in to see what was being said …man it’s worse than I even imagined

 

[firestorm]

Self destruction is keeping the game close.

 

[joevol33]

Love to see a turnover here

 

[chuckb1448]

Uhoh, a celebration injury

 

[NO SIR EEE]

We give Florida offense the ball inside our own 30 two times in 15 minutes in the Swamp…..yeah that will end well

Yeah, dude they couldn’t even score on the road in a small ass road stadium against an inferior opponent.

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

Ppl talking bout Milton accuracy might be blind or dumb he is on point hasn’t over thrown any ball… one bad ball all game relax good grief… y’all want a reason to hate enjoy that the defense is bullying them and know the offense will find it.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Everyone take a deep breath. First game jitters. We will play better after halftime coaching. A lot of mistakes on both sides and it is hot in Nashville.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Man, dropped td pass and now a fumble when we would’ve been in great field position. Ugh!

We should bed up 24 except for stupid mistakes/ dropped pass, fumble, and slipped on 4th down play.

 

[Voltopia]

Damn. That's terrible for that Virginia player. Hope the guy's okay.

 

[Frozevol]

Hopefully this isn’t our new look.

 

[Jaswatzell]

BVS exists for a reason. We've been let down too many times. I'm really hoping we get our ish together because that first quarter was terrible football from the O

 

[PA Vol]

Oh no, that looks bad

 

[RockyTop1970]

Seeing a lot of good things. First game mistakes, we’re good.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

He hurt himself celebrating? Yikes

 

[joevols89]

LOL

Not funny though.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Playing sloppy and still winning 7-0

Exactly...
1 play and it’s a tie game.
We can not let these guys hang around!

 

[jasonvol18]

It's the QST quarter of the first game of the season. ANYBODY that has watched just a little football knows the Offense's take a few quarters to a game to sync up. It's fine!

 

[Al Davis]

Defense is playing way beyond expectations. Offense has not. Missing Golesh?

Agree.

1. Play calling since first drive is not sharp.
2. Willie Martinez still hasn’t taught DB’s to turn heads when ball is in air.

These two things will come cost us games during this season if not improved and corrected.

 

[chad4930]

Can’t play down to an inferior team. Put these guys away and work out the kinks. Gators in two weeks.

 

[Sarms58]

Damn, their best D player looks like he tore an ACL celebrating.

 

[Delmar]

Sloppy.....anyone other than me getting a little concerned?

Not really. UVA offense doesn’t look like much of a threat so far. Looks like the Vols are shaking off some rust. Keyton dropped pass, false start on 3rd and 2 in VA territory, 14 yard punt and now a punt return fumble deep in VA territory. Glad they are getting this mess out of the way early. Defense looks pretty good so far.

 

[turbovol]

UVA is going to run the ball now.

 

[chuckb1448]

"Hey Coach Elliott, you can't move the ball, let's interview you"

 

[stolitonic]

The defense has improved but our season has always hinged on the hoped improvement of Milton and thus far it looks questionable at best

Dude. Milton has been fine.

He's not the one who dropped a ball a 3rd grader would catch and fumbling the ball.

Get Virginia off the field and absolutely floor the pedal until at least halftime Heupel. No more of this slowdown crap. Put these guys away before they get more confidence.
