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

[volbound1700]

Lol McCoy, Hobbs, and Gibson are out. Chill out

True but this is still a game and we need to slow them down or we might get into trouble.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

True freshman CB it’s gonna happen

 

[mpfvol]

I'd love to see our defense stop Willis in tbe backfield just once.

They hurting today for sure

 

[BleedOrange81]

Middle of the field every single time. Press up on that.

Every year all year long

 

[SGMVols]

This game is over but I am a little concerned going forward against any real opponent

Syracuse won 10 games last year. In what way are they not a “real opponent?”

 

[vol94]

Seems like the intensity level dropped at halftime. Keep the foot on the gas!

Very quiet crowd. Feels like going to a Sounds baseball game.

 

[Sea Ray]

Over 3 hrs and we’re not even in the 4th quarter. No pace to this game

 

[VOLifornia]

Willis has owned us running. You know he’s the option when he’s back there but….

 

[DaddyChad]

We are getting complacent on offense and Syracuse is playing with more juice. Angeli and Willis will not go away

Wondering if that has to do more with Aguilar being nicked up.

 

[rocketskates]

Fran is a better motivator it appears keeping his team hungry

A Fran Brown team will never quit. That’s why you score one more touchdown and put it completely out of reach. Then you can put freshmen in the game and run it up the middle to kill the clock. This feels like the old Fulmer days.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Need a play defense.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

This game is over but I am a little concerned going forward against any real opponent

This game is FAR from being over...

 

[HooahVol]

If you had told me this morning our offense would look great but the defense would struggle I would not have believed you.

 

[87&91ALUM]

4TH Qrtr….Lets Go Vols! Finish this!

 

[OrangeTsar]

I don’t like putting it into coast.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Long way from being over. We need to switch up the defensive front a little because he has too much time especially on 3rd downs.

 

[OmahaOmaha]

Damn pitiful pass D. Good Teams on our schedule are liking what they see.

 

[MeanOrange]

Never been sold on halzle whatsoever…to many friends getting a free pass

His he calling the plays? last year JH was calling them from the sideline.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

This game is over but I am a little concerned going forward against any real opponent

Georgia will be a challenge even at Neyland

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Weve gone super conservative. Coach, gonna have to realize the defense isnt good enough to do that this year with a lead. Especially if we keep losing players.

Ok fair but this isn’t that team, and their o/u prediction was 5.5

 

[HypeVol2020]

One more stop

 

[captainsword]

Fore imo

Ha. I’m going to have to get Grammarly for Volnation

It seems like the more we take it easy, the more people get injured.

 

[BruiserVol]

We have so much to work on defensively. Fortunately our schedule isn’t as brutal as it had been. Bama is always going to be solid, but they don’t appear to be the boogeyman they once were. UGA will be tough. OU is up in the air. Florida is as well in my eyes.
