The Official #15 Tennessee vs. Akron Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN+/SEC Network+

[Switch 625]

We can’t have nice things. At. All.

 

[JCHateSteve]

While I don't condone Calloways antics, he wasn't just being chippy. That was genuine anger. Something was done to trigger that.

DB got him on the face. I wouldn't begrudge him a shot. But not 5.

 

[AustinMem]

Seriously been saying Imma-leava.

 

[Freak]

Dude its not. You can't have that. That was too far.

Players have been shown on video going after knees or targeting defenseless players. Punching a guys helmet is pretty mild by comparison. It's stupid more than anything else.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

And we have another quarter of this mess.

 

[mitzustu]

Sampson got hurt? I missed that

Looked like when he got the pass outside and got tripped up he was gimpy and it’s been only Wright.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The last time I remember a player throwing that many punches was Raekwon Davis from Bama

The SEC let Saban determine his punishment (i.e, none)...

 

[Allvols1996]

Milton will never lead this team as starter. Love that he's stayed with UT and and his talent, but next year has to be Jackson or Iamaleava.

Milton didn’t have the ones. All new line.

 

[basspond]

probably was talking about his mom though.

Mom jokes are classic and usually funny. You're not supposed to get mad. Must have been a sister comment. That's a different subject entirely.

 

[ItchyVols]

Need a pick 6 if the offense is done

What was the closing spread? 49.5?

 

[turdherder11]

What happened?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Yep. That's just stupid. He's going to be suspended for at least the first half? The entire game vs UF?

Who cares tho honestly? We all know his potential, but he hasn’t been a real contribution to the offense to begin with.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Looks like Irons doesn't have much to say now

 

[ButchPlz]

Feeling like we won but I don’t feel good about it. Too many potential injuries.

Most of them seem like the kind of stingers that normally wouldn't keep guys out but since this is the equivalent of a D2 team they're being held out.

 

[Dudleys87]

Some of you clearly didn’t watch the Akron player swipe Calloway first after the play was over with.

Their players are getting exactly what they deserve.

And you have to be able to keep yourself in check. Things like that could cost Tennessee a game later in the year.

 

[Volbrando]

Good lord what holding

 

[crawdaddyjc]

I want to see that kind of fire vs uf and lsu.

 

[GoVols1961]

Nice play by Josephs.

 

[BP4Prez]

Question, does being ejected from the game for multiple unsportsmanlike conduct penalties carry any sort of “miss the first half of the next game” like targeting does?

I’m not sure but he will 100% be suspended.

 

[AustinMem]

Looked like the DB just fell into his fist 5 times, right? Might want him checked out for balance issues

 

[Bryan1]

Yeah I saw him with his hand up in Calloways face, but still ya can't do that!

 

[vols1071]

He's punching a guy with a helmet on. His hands got the worst of it. It's stupid, but that's about it.

True but throwing combinations with intent... Terrible look and should be done

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

He was a backup, not sure it hurts that much.

Small Tillman Samson and hookers knees aren’t backups

 

[VFL28]

Dude what is this camera mans love affair with Akrons punter.
