The Official #15 Tennessee vs. Miss St Game Thread, 4:15 ET, SECN

[TNinSC]

Definitely adjusted down the stretch.

Just like in uga. They ran all over is in the 3rd

 

[C-south]

Yeah, I was cursing out loud as CJH let those seconds run off. It was mind boggling.

Before the half as well. Call timeout and make them make a decision.

 

[DC_Vol]

Why did it take 50 minutes to do so???

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[Cartervol]

They finally realized the QB wasn’t going to beat them and walked the linebackers up into the gaps..Banks is stubborn to a fault. Doesn't have the Dline this year to lean on them like that..

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

Not to mention the most piss poor clock management most of us have ever seen. That might have been the most concerning thing in the entire game.

It was extremely unprofessional

Unprofessional seems a bit harsh…did he make the water girl cry? Why unprofessional???

 

[VolDave53]

Earlier, I mentioned the Joey tackle. He indeed made the stats. Now that he is a 2 way player, perhaps his Heistman odds improved! LOL.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Ok Vol Fans. Another episode of the Cardiac Vols. Enjoy the W! Yall have a great night!

 

[claimjumper steve]

That’s a fair assessment. We don’t win that game with Nico at the helm. I feel like Joey gives us a chance every week which is a nice luxury to have

The "fireman" is a gamer! I'll take that all day instead of a primadonna!

Where's the Tylenol?

That crap will give you aids

 

[therealitytheory]

Loved the win.

Hated the -7.5.

 

[captainsword]

Hey now, not all of us are trolls, some are temporary negaVols who overreact in the midst of things.

BVS is a lifetime disease. You just have to pick yourself up when you fall and live for another day.

Boy Vegas pretty money with those point spreads aren't they. Things that make you go hmm..

They are professionals at making $. That's what they do.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Before the half as well. Call timeout and make them make a decision.

I didn’t curse out loud before the half, but was wondering what he was thinking. I don’t think Lebby would have gone for it.

 

[preacherrandy]

The play was painful, the coaching was a head-scratcher, and the officiating was abysmal, but we won!!!!

I agree it was hard to watch but it's from hard games like this that you can make the most progress.

I took State and the Points. Sec road games are a witch.

 

[teeball]

Maybe Heup was playing not to lose in regulation because he was confident he had the plan to win if it went to overtime. That s just as likely as he was an idiot in clock management.

We have to agree to disagree on this one. Heupel's clock management in the Georgia game caused folks question his judgement, this game proved he has no clue on how to manage the clock at the end of halves.

 

[kunsanvol]

We just beat a pretty damn good SEC on the road. Didn't play well at times, kept fighting and made some killer plays to win in OT. Some of ya'll never had to pick your own switch, and it shows.

-6.5 and the over

I did load up on UT 1st qtr -1.5. So it wasn't all bad.

100% …..all day long

We are probably 2-3 with Nico. I think JA is a really good QB with flaws but his flaws can be fixed, I hope. But Nico cant be fixed

 

[SubVet676]

Banks scored 14 points. Only gave up 3.6 yards per carry. Solid pressure from the dline. We should all be glad we have him.

I'll agree that he's a good P4 DC. But if you look at his performance against Top 20 teams, he fails to meet the standard of an SEC DC. Go back and find my post where I listed his numbers against Top 20 and Top 10 teams.

Good? Yes, if he has the advantage. But solid offenses and solid QB's expose him. It is what it is. Tonight was the latest example.

Heupel has to outscore what Banks cannot cover. That won't win crap beyond a bowl game or Boise State.

Again, it is what it is. Bring me my crowburger when UT wins a game against a Top 10 team with their defense.

I'll gladly eat it.
