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

They cut the Vols off for fu##### BAMA? The horror, the horror.

 

[patrick]

JA did everything and more than I could have ever hoped for - not perfect but a lot of more positives than any negatives.

Very very positive effort JA!

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Awesome win. Hood and Redmond looked really good on the outside

 

[NCFisher]

They are not the cupcake team some on here believed they were.

That's sounding a lot like our pathetic offense at OU and people stating their defense was elite.

Maybe our defense isn't as good as some think.

 

[Vol8188]

After hearing that accent, start Merklinger

 

[LittleVol]

The refs TRIED HARD to keep this game competitive. So many BS calls today and no PI calls against them after early 1st qtr. It was pretty obvious IMO

- the missed PI call on Matthews
- the touching on the punt not called in our favor.

It’s all good.

We beat a good team today

I do t have ESPN news apparently. Cant find it anywhere, just searched it and it doesn’t pop up either. Of frikin well I guess.

I went to espn.com and loaded game with xfinity and it came.....technical difficulties!

 

[volfan102455]

They should have sent the next game to ESPN news - that is normally what they do when "we are the new game"!

 

[imavolfan]

Coach Hypes team continues to beat the spread.
The longball is back.
Running game hasn’t lost a step
Some new names emerging on D

Good day for the good guys

 

[Volfan2012]

Wasn't Angeli the Qb we were trying to get before Aguilar? I am sure we were involved with him for a little bit of time.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Still not sure about our WRs, JA has been solid. Hes gonna be good enough at the QB position. OL looks solid, and RB might be the strength of the O.

On defense, we better hope we havent lost anyone for the season, because even with everyone im not sure we are even an average defense in the SEC. We have to get a lot better. Corners played well, but we defensive line has a long way to go.

Same and given I that the ESPN (whatever it is today), it should have worked.

That hit the towel, how that ball did not hit his leg is crazy

Totally freakin Bama gets special treatment.

Also missing 4 starters. Fwiw.

 

[Volben00]

F****** b******* for YouTube TV to switch game coverage to the Alabama Florida State game I don't give two f**** about that game now I can't find redress the game is being broadcast

That’s not how it works.. YouTube tv has absolutely zero control over that

 

[Vol737]

cuse isnt horrible....10 win team lasy year

No, they aren’t. They lost a lot on defense and have a pretty good qb, but I’m just waiting on our defense to be elite again…one day.

 

[Vol865]

Pretty sure that was ESPN who did that

I agree with the sentiment though

 

[CobbWebb71]

This is the first time they have ever moved a game and I missed the entire last 4mins. Pisses me off.

I’ve been watching sports for a long time and I may be wrong, but I honestly think that is the first time I’ve ever seen the ongoing game get moved to an alternate channel, for a game that is scheduled to start.

 

[casual-observer]

Right. First game of the season and teams had already figured out how to beat the rules or that there's no real penalty.

If you drop before the ball is set…no foul. You’re right, they’ve already figured it out.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

- the missed PI call on Matthews
- the touching on the punt not called in our favor.

I thought they were ok in the first half and then it got out of control with bad after bad call, almost all favoring Syracuse.

 

[Hairy Vols]

That's sounding a lot like our pathetic offense at OU and people stating their defense was elite.

Maybe our defense isn't as good as some think.

Maybe gross assumptions shouldn’t be made after week one.

They were a 10 win team last season with a stellar offense. Let’s not assume so much kid.

 

[HighRockvol]

A win is a win but a lot to clean up on defense

 

[Volfan2012]

You know the offense is playing well when the defense has to play like 30 more snaps in the game.
