The Official #15 Tennessee vs. #6 Georgia Game Thread, 3:30 ET, ABC

[VFL 89]

Ok folks! This is a 60 minute marathon. We have a shot despite all the stupidity and zebra issues. Keep the faith!

Did I see Kessleman on crutches at halftime

 

[Pride85]

We're fortunate to have the lead at halftime

Why? Georgia had a great second quarter, but we had a much better first quarter. They have a chance to reset and get back on the same page. It will be interesting what chess moves are made during the break. I still believe we are completely in this game. If we can stop them coming out of halftime, we have a great chance to kick it back in gear and take the game back over. We need to get back into breakneck speed, though.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Well, I'm ahead of the trend

I'm at 3 and counting.

 

[RockyTop140]

Well, I'm ahead of the trend

I think I went through 3 beers in the 2nd quarter.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

What were you saying?

They'll take the lead coming out of the half. Defense is already tired. Offense has completely sputtered. JH had a good gameplan coming out. Kirby has adjusted. We'll see if JH can adjust and keep scoring. JA doesnt look confident now and is starting to miss throws. Just have no consistent push on the DL and we cannot get pressure on Stockton.

GA athletic receivers are abusing our freshman D backs, that is what is resulting in all the int calls. The refs are not paid off by GA.

Correct. They’re paid off by either the SEC office or Guido the bookie.

 

[I Love Lamp]

Or the DB ripping Matthews’ helmet off and instead of illegal hands to the face the refs let Kirby whine about it and make Matthews sit out

And the ref being right there when it happened too. Pretty ridiculous.

 

[Boston Vol]

Need to establish some sort of running game. Also, need to get the Kitselman back involved in the game.

IKR that was cray-zee

 

[MeanOrange]

Defense has been half a step away and couple missed tackles from being good. The refs haven’t helped when they’ve stepped up.

Yes. GA. gets the grounding call against us then their QB does the same thing with no call.

 

[BreatheUT]

We can beat these bums. If we lose this , it's 100% on us .

Georgia top plays are the screen and the defensive hold.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I don't like even being one who says that, but goodness they're letting them hold constantly, rip.our helmets off, and we get called for crap

Same. It’s just that it happens every year. It would be one thing if we had the same amount of talent as them, but we obviously don’t and then when you add in the unfair advantage of the refs clearly not calling a fair game, it makes it very difficult to win.

Clean up the pass coverage. Make stockton pay on the roll outs. Turn up the tempo. POUR ON MORE STEAM!!! LFG BOYS!!!

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

Hoping we make adjustments this time at the half..

This game will be who makes adjustments and executes. Toe-to-toe battle.

 

[Swiftybaby]

We’re up and have scored more than 17 in one quarter. I’ll take it. Please don’t Timmy make a decent adjustment and let’s go for the damn jugular and testi here

 

[IndianaVol]

Gonna call the last 4 of that half a draw.
They got a FG, but our D overcame 30+ yds in penalties and a couple of blown coverages to hold them to a FG.

We need to come out and convincingly win the next 4 minutes. Stop on D and put points on thd board with the O.

 

[44DivePlay]

Joenel Ageuro should quit throwing picks

 

[Carl Pickens]

You should change your name to Pollyanna

The downside is Georgia adjusted. The ball is in our court. Can we script up a series that throws Kirby off? Can our beat up DL stay in this game?

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Roller-coaster of a half. TN's 2nd quarter offensive woes are a worrisome flashback.

Two plays stand out on D:
1) Boo getting juked out of his shorts for a 1st down on a slant when it was 4th & 3 in 2nd quarter; GA goes on to score a TD
2) Turrentine taking a horrendous angle on a bubble screen leading to 37-yd TD

Get a turnover on 1) and maybe hold to FG on 2), this is a much different game.

I think the 3rd quarter will define the outcome. TN offense needs to put up some points or it is over.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Really need to keep some depth that’s more experienced, not just athletic but inexperienced freshmen.

I’d almost say to swap him out if there is anyone else.

I was talking about GA QB that came in for the hail mary but yeah our freshman DB getting picked on.
Like I said a few pages back. The way college is now. I wouldn't take any freshmen at DB, go get the guys with experience.

 

[RavinDave]

I’m already there brother

So 8 drinks for you?

 

[ACvol3]

That’s what I j
