Weak sauce playing for the 3 vs a TD which would really stress NCSt

You’re funny.

 

[perico]

OK we need to see Thornton more involved in the 2nd.

 

[VaBornVol]

That went about as well as NC State could’ve hoped for, and they are down by 17

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Decent 1st half overall. We have a lot of cleanup to do.

Pretty much sums it up. Need to see some passing improvement.

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

Definitely didn’t say a win isn’t a win. Maybe it will translate into the Oklahoma game. But that passing game is going to have to show some life.

Seems like NC State is intent on letting us run the ball

 

[Golfprovol]

The Holly question and the Rece tribute to John Ward were awesome

 

[volmoon]

Good team ball first half

 

[I Love Lamp]

Keep in mind 2022 Vols had a nail biter against Pitt. This team has a way better defense.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Our normal non conference slop fest pre sec reg season. 20-3 is amazing. 3-3-5 sucks.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Hard to do against 5 DB

Agreed. I still think we're saving stuff for Oklahoma. We'll see I guess

 

[saxvol]

I’ll take 20-3.

Yep, repeat in 2nd half and its 40-6

They’re not playing PlayStation

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

3-3-5 can make that difficult at times. Have to take what's there. Hitches, comebacks, screens, etc.

Agreed

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

The Holly question and the Rece tribute to John Ward were awesome

Missed that one.

 

[YankeeVol]

Anyone who doesn’t like Tim Banks (*cough* new Nico dude) can get f’d

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Let’s go get 6 first drive and knock them out! GBO

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

They’re not playing PlayStation

Our fans are so dumb

 

[Tennman47]

Nc State is plying slow and deliberate to keep us off the field

 

[OrangeTsar]

Timing still lust a bit off between Nico and the receivers.

 

[BruiserVol]

Well for comparison Bama is up 14-6 on South Florida at the half.

 

[YankeeVol]

Yep, repeat in 2nd half and its 40-6

Is that how math works?

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Seems like NC State is intent on letting us run the ball

Absolutely and just hope for 1 negative play.

 

[zeppelin128]

Bama will never schedule USF again lol

 

[DC_Vol]

A little surprised TBH

I would have taken a 20-3 lead at the half if offered prior to the start of the game.

I can’t recall the record but Heup has few losses when TN rushes over 200 yards.
