The Official #19 Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[Orange931]

Yeah. It’ll either get a lot better or a lot worse real quick

It can’t get a lot worse. We played a horrible half.

 

[JMSqb11]

Yeah, I'm starting to question the loyalty. I get Nico is a freshman, but everyone can see Milton isn't getting it done. Great coaches do what they have to do, period.

You’re not yanking Milton in a 3 point game and giving the ball to a freshmen vs this defensive front.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

fla game part 2 so far....

Running backs and defense are playing worlds better, so no.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Hype doesn’t have a good record when losing at the half does he?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Will be interesting to see our offensive adjustments in the second half. Hoping they are noticable.

 

[djwes]

Milton has not progressed, still making mistakes that middle school QBs should not.

There is no way this offense holds up on the road at Alabama if they can’t function in a home game.

If they end up losing today, they will drop the game at Alabama lose to Kentucky and Georgia.

@ Mizzou will be a toss up

 

[charleyhorse]

I think Heup will not pull Milton because he will have to admit that Milton sucks

tN Coaches pride last 10 yrs says one QB

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

We won't see Nico until we're ahead by three scores in the 4th quarter.

Someday

 

[Godfatha]

At this point, it bugs me we didn't put the scrub teams away sooner and get Nico some game time.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

George Dickel.

He's never lied to me yet

 

[Manchester Vol]

I'm thinking we can't play worse in the second half. If the defense can keep them off the board we'll win this game.

Don’t underestimate this team. Support them. Oh yes they can!

Go Us!!!

 

[RabunRaven]

Why would he do that? This makes no sense. You think if we lose the rest of our games we get the first pick in the college draft?

 

[Orange931]

One of them was on a 3rd and long where he lowered his shoulder towards out of bounds 5 yards short of first down markers. Another sign of a lack of situational awareness imo.

I was just glad to see him make contact with somebody and not be afraid.

 

[Namorto1]

We had 2 weeks to prepare for A&M. Will be interesting to see half times adjustments. If A&M scores a TD on first possession a 10 pt lead is going to feel like 20.

 

[Manning4ever]

Gary Danielson should not get rewarded for the Sec game of the week. He is clearly biased against us. We deserve announcers that are at least fair.

 

[nomads-11]

Nimrod had a couple catches early iirc, squirrel with nothing so far(?, maybe 1), Ramel hasn't done much, except a big drop....I mean the receiver corps is MIA to this degree?

 

[lifeisdeep]

I'm so glad our peerless leader Heupel is prioritizing getting a bad QB drafted over all the other players on the team, the millions of Vol fans all over the country, and his responsibility to his employer. When you run on third and 23 because you have no confidence in your QB, but you won't pull him because it would be an admission that you have been playing the wrong guy i.e. you made a mistake, you're basically saying to every other player on the team and all of the fans and the university that you know you screwed this up but you're not willing to admit it.

Must be nice to make $9 million a year to put out a crap product built on stupid decisions.

 

[tnvols72]

nico time ?

Gaston Moore, Nico would be hurt. Moore can at least pass and knows the offense

 

[CoachClick]

Checks notes:
Tennessee is 4-1 and in the top 20.

Throwaway year?

We finish 8-4. Yes.

 

[C-south]

How can you be that old and still not know how to avoid all these penalties?

Maybe he’s just not good.

 

[sonofUT62]

How crazy is it that Ollie Lane committed to Tennessee while Butch Jones was head coach?

Not shocked that Jones thought Lane was worth a scholarship.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Never forget that Milton ran out of bounds against Ole Miss instead of throwing to end zone with no time left, not much has changed with his decision making

 

[TheMookieMonster]

People on this board are going to scream until they are hoarse asking for Nico, but save your breath it’s not happening. Pigs will fly before Josh Heupel puts Nico in.

 

[kpttnvolfan]

I’ll celebrate with joy, when Gary Danielson retires, what a prick!

watching second half on mute...no more Danielson

 

[Powder and shot]

Could he be worse than Joe?
