The Official #24/#18 Tennessee vs. Syracuse Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

Decent starting drive. Aguilar makes good decision but is inaccurate. Missing Sanders on the O-line.

I love the play calling so far.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Not perfect. But way more exciting than anything last year, and we scored in the 1st quarter.

 

[huckleberry97]

Best screen I've ever seen Tennessee run

Aaron Hayden and Andy Kelley would like a word sir.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Ok got 3 on the board, lets put more up.
Liking the agressive play

 

[patrick]

I had TN with two field goals and four TDs. So we on pace.

1st drive of season - I’ll take it.

 

[dduncan4163]

Okay Ill take it

 

[Volnbeers]

Excited to see what the defense can do.

 

[Caz]

First blood! Let's get our defense angry now.

 

[Creeker]

Solid first drive, liked the play calls and tempo.

 

[G8rh8r]

Gotta say…this offense has some excitement. Aguilar isn’t afraid to make a play. I like it

 

[Voljayton]

Got our speed back! Let's go VOLS!

 

[PA Vol]

Some good, some bad in that first drive. Points are good at least.

A little sloppy, but happy with the play calling in general.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Great first drive of the year. Just get points.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I feel better about the offense now honestly

 

[jhcrane14]

OK, you can say that is a successful opening drive of the season. I have seen much much worse.

 

[rocketskates]

TD would’ve been a nice statement but I like that they trust Joey to air it out

Syracuse Game Notes

 

[chuckb1448]

JA hopefully will settle in... GBO

 

[OrangeTsar]

Too high. Dang. Still like the way he plays the game from what I’m seeing.

Made sure that the defender couldn’t it though

 

[vavolfan6]

Aguilar does seem a tad aggressive. Syracuse loading up inside trying to take away the run. So he almost has to force something.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Like the way the offense started, not a bad 1st drive.

 

[VolGirl81]

I know its early, but I think we've got a qb!

 

[WillisWG]

Go get that ball D

 

[orange4ever]

Hopefully the under and over throws are just first game, game day jitters

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Nice first drive. We moved the chains , completed passes, ran the ball, and got points. I like the aggressiveness.
