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

[Vol_guy]

I am a little concerned about our front 4

 

[WillisWG]

Nada dos

 

[Proud Army Wife]

This D has a LOT of work to do to live up to their hype.

Yeah, I’m underwhelmed.

 

[vol94]

Huh?!

That’s the word around me at game. Hopefully they are wrong.

Pls let me know if true

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Merk warming up on the sideline.

Too early for that

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Joey is supposedly hurt? Any news on tv?

none so far.

 

[DaddyChad]

Joey is supposedly hurt? Any news on tv?

Appeared to be cramping but idk.

 

[volgr]

SEC olines will maul this defense . . . Maybe Hobbs will be a difference maker. Bama and UGA will run at will.

It is just game 1 but early returns are concerning.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Our secondary is in for another long season. Syracuse is showing our weakness week 1 for all to see.

Injuries in the secondary are allowing (forcing) young, talented guys to get gameday experience sooner than later.

 

[theroyz71]

Has Boo played today? I haven't heard his name.

 

[vegasvolfan]

What happened with our defense on this drive. Seems like our secondary broke down. Did we have second or third stringers in?

 

[BJSforVols]

What happened to Joey? Reading that he went into the medical tent, came out and tried to throw, and then went back into the tent.

 

[ButchPlz]

That’s the word around me at game. Hopefully they are wrong.

Pls let me know if true

It's not true.

 

[Vol865]

I never saw him make a tackle today

He was in the 2nd qtr

 

[DaddyChad]

Huh?!

Merk warming up.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

That’s the word around me at game. Hopefully they are wrong.

Pls let me know if true

Heard absolutely nothing like that, we’ll know in a minute

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Is Syracuse bad, or Tennessee real good?

They are not a cupcake team. Vols looking good.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Hopefully it’s just for fluids

It did look like he had a calf cramp

 

[RAVOL]

Willis is a player

He is very good physical Back

 

[Go47]

I am a little concerned about our front 4

Only hope is Hobbs and the improve from game 1 to game 2. If Syracuse can run it up the middle / down our throat . . . Well not good in SEC play.

 

[joevol33]

Merk warming up.

Hopefully joey is okay!

 

[Carl Pickens]

Carter walked off though right?

Pretty sure it was a calf cramp

 

[87&91ALUM]

A lot of scoring left. Our defense is getting beat up. 38-20….HOLD EM VOLS! OR OUTSCORE THEM!

 

[DirtyDawg]

You’ve watched our running game and thought we were screwed? Come on DD, you’re better than that.

True, I didn’t actually think you were screwed in the whole, just in flux at QB. Really just said that for a kinda dramatic effect in the realization that the replacement (Joey) does actually appear to be an upgrade.

I’m so freaking glad CFB is back, good to hear from you @Proud Army Wife! I gotta admit I’m a bit nervous about week 3. Gonna be a good game I’m thinking.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I’m gonna miss Corso.

At least now there's no danger of him croaking on the set. He's getting up there.
