The Official #21 Tennessee vs. Missouri Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Plecoptera]

I love a nice low stress Vols victory. Now I can happily watch football the rest of the day.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

So do we pull for Georgia or auburn

I always want UGA to lose, however if they do, that just gives them more fuel to win next week.

 

[VolGirl81]

Hey, overall, this is a going to be a good win, definite improvement. Defense needs to get ready for next few games and offense-keep on! I could be my husband downstairs cussing at his Longhorns right now!

 

[GVol1966]

So if we hold em and there is more than 4-5 minutes left on the clock, who goes in at QB? I say it’s probably Shrout. Although wouldn’t be surprised if whoever does go in just hands it off three straight times.

Pruitt doesn’t believe in getting back up QB’s any real game practice even if it’s just handing it off.
If the starter gets hurt , he likes the backup to be rusty as h##l.

 

[peerless98]

Pruitt just showed he has no interest in developing a back up

lol

 

[BeardedVol]

JG played much better. Happy for him - starting off 2-0 takes a lot of pressure off him.

Probably his most complete performance of his career.

 

[ETV]

Someone should tell Pruitt that neck gaiter isn’t a bonnet.

UV protection for your dome.

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

How ever I'd like to frame it? Thats straight from the box score. I'm guessing you're following that alternative facts timeline.

You forgot that "negavol" remark again.

Yeah, frame it. They only scored 1 touchdown all day against us. Is that meaningful or not? And I never use “negavol”. You’re just miserable. Enjoy that.

 

[LittleVol]

Man I hate saying this but alontee Taylor isn’t that great if a player. I know he’s a vfl and stuck with us even after the coaching change. But he’s a liability out there imo

I think he should be a safety. He could be good there. There's a few players that need to see other positions imo.

 

[Voltopia]

Peter Burns: “Another 2-0 start.”

Fool have you been paying attention!?

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Man I hate saying this but alontee Taylor isn’t that great if a player. I know he’s a vfl and stuck with us even after the coaching change. But he’s a liability out there imo

Last week he was a lynchpin in the secondary.

When Sham gets back, we will be better.

 

[lifeVol]

I haven't been on the JG train, but I'll give him his due, he played very well today and I hope he is able to build on this

 

[StarRaider]

Listening in to the mizzou broadcast on Sirius, their p-b-p guy says the VOLS line is better than bammers.

 

[1vol8]

Pruitt likes to break in the backup QBs against the difficult teams.

If this doesn’t show everyone how practices go then I don’t know what does. I hope everyone was paying attention because when we do see a backup, no matter who it is, they should get a pass from the fan base

 

[LexVol71]

Pruitt just showed he has no interest in developing a back up

What would be the point in giving the backup a few meaningless snaps? Pruitt just showed he has no interest in showing Georgia anything more than he absolutely has to, including who is backup qb is.

 

[vol66]

Good win!!!

GBO!!!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We dominate a game we should have won, but the whiny wanna bottle crowd still post almost exclusively that our HC, OC and QB are trash. What a bunch of morons.

Exactly..

 

[ALStateLineVol]

A win is a win. Still need to work on some things but we saw a big improvement on 3rd down and established the running game.
Go Vols!!

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Wonder what that yellow paper the MO assistant just gave CJP?

Nuclear codes.

 

[KrazyVolFan]

JG played a hell of a game today. Nice job, keep getting better. I've said some bad things about him but he played well today.

 

[sona]

Excellent start to a Saturday. Now just let Georgia lose for the cherry on top.

 

[GAVol]

Question @GAVol after theses two performances, you think we can compete at a high level against UGA,FL, AL?

I’m happy for the win, I want to see us beat the teams that get us to better than 6-4.
you have to admit that this outcome was expected

I think we finally can run it well enough And defend well enough to compete against everybody.

I expected to win today, but it's literally been years since we ran it like we did today

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Hopefully it will be a 10 overtime game that leave the dawgs bruised and tired!

That’s what we need.

 

[ETV]

Yeah, frame it. They only scored 1 touchdown all day against us. Is that meaningful or not? And I never use “negavol”. You’re just miserable. Enjoy that.

Last time I checked. The discussion was about Missouri and Bama. Nice change up there to defend your point. Why am I not surprised?

See you next week.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

For me this was the most satisfying win I have watched in the Pruitt era. I did not see the Auburn game two years ago but I believe this was the best complete game we have had in a long time. Still need improvement to compete with the SEC elites but the last two games we had the superior personnel which has not been the case for a long time.
