The Official #9 Tennessee @ #8 Texas A&M Game Thread, 3:30 pm ET, CBS

[ETV]

Tennessee has over 100 yds rushing in first half. Aggies defense is soft in the middle. Middle of field has been wide open but Dobbs hasn't seen it.

 

[FranklinVFL]

what the ****??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Exactly. This 💩 I am tired of. We have 20 some seconds on the clock. Throw it deep. Air it out. If the intercept, they are deep in their own end of the field and will take a knee anyway. A field goal there could give us some momentum.

Instead, Players are going to get frustrated (as evidenced by Jennings) and feel they are not allowed to be aggressive and win.

Our wins have been because we have had to be aggressive to play catch up in the 2nd half. Here was a chance to again be aggressive. The coaches either do not trust this team or really cannot try to push the envelope or be aggressive!!! This is what sickens me.

And BTW, not yelling for a coach change. Just wanting coach to play with a bit more of a chip on his shoulder, or get an OC who will.

 

[orangerush]

7 points...Debord is the best defense A&M has.

 

[ManchesterV]

That's sick.

Yeah. But I'm surprised at how classless aTm is. Goldylocks celebrating getting absolutely blown up and the punter crying after every punt.

 

[jlindsa4]

We score on the opening drive, suddenly a one possession game.

 

[NEVolFan]

Media has up down and out... no more magic.

 

[alavolfan]

Wish Butch would have burned em with two bombs and two time outs but...we could be in a lot worse shape. Our players are fired up !!!

 

[KBVol]

Fun fact....I love Hurd, but we're averaging 6.2 yards per carry thus far. Running game in very good hands.

 

[VolinConcord]

Guys, please remember, we're playing with house money today.

That being said, we're getting the ball to start the second half, we're gonna score and going on to win this game.

I agree. TAM screwed up and did not put our guys away. Game on in the second half.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

0-7 on 3rd downs, 3 turnovers...we are lucky it isnt worse

 

[YankeeVol]

I work with Jennings family. The coaches say there's 3 players you don't mess with. Sutton, Reeves-Maybin and Jennings. He's a firey player. Always wants the ball. Can't blame for being upset there.

I like it

 

[Power T-Rev]

Jesus dude, get a grip. I'm just as pissed about those two as you are, but come on.

At this point, I'm pretty sure Freak has no other choice but to ban him

 

[shodges119]

I give up, I try to believe you guys want the best for the program. But some of you are closet Bama fans. So the last time a successful coach was fired we went through 10 years of hell. But despite back to back Bowl wins. An 11 game winning streak. A great recruiting class 3 years straight, a 5-0 record and beating Florida for the first time in 11 years. So yeah lets fire the entire staff and let all the talent transfer. This happens every week this season with you guys. Total loss of faith in about half the VolNation posters.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Uncalled for dude. I know we are all emotional but they are kids.

They are young men, pleading for karma to come raining down on them.

 

[Godfatha]

Let's see, we gave them a short field to score with the Dobbs and Berry fumbles and left 7 points on the table with the Kamara fumble. We are better than this team, just making stupid mistakes

 

[advancedrescue27]

1 targeting, 1 incomplete pass, and 1 catch interference. All would not be considered fumbles with those calls

Also not flag for half their team being on the field in the 1st when we hiked the ball.

No flag on their entire team running on the field after they targeted Evan.

Then throwing a flag when our guys push 12 out of bounds.

It's been rediculous. We are hanging in there and wouldn't be so bad off if we would have had alittle fair ref work. We've made mistakes but our offense has either matched or out performed them.

 

[ProfessorD]

A score at the beginning of the third and we gonna win this game. Hope EB is ok after that targeting by number 12

 

[rcrrcr]

Proud of the Vols. We are playing a very good A&M team. We have given them 14 points by turning the ball over on our side of the field. We have so many people out hurt. We have out gained them for the half. If we stop turning the ball over and play smart and hard we can make this a game!!!!

 

[PJ4VOLS]

Still in this , refs missing all the targeting calls on a&m but ready and willing to call them on UT.

 

[volfan1631]

The next 30 minutes will be "Football Time In Tennessee"

 

[HurdDaRealMVP]

This is the time I usually start binge drinking.

 

[CPVOL]

Listen, I'm as pissed off as anyone. Zebras are killing us, we can't catch, can't throw, can't cover, & so far we fumbled it 23 times. All that being said we're only down 2 TD!!!!!!! That ain't chit boys. Honestly should be a hell of a lot worse and that douche Wilcot said we're done just now. So efff em all. We got a shot!!
Believe it can happen and it just might.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

It's surprising that the usual suspects haven't learned to bite their tongue until the end of the game before making themselves look foolish with over-the-top negative comments.

 

[chargervol]

yea...down 14....more reason to take a shot. or in the least get in field goal range.

I usually I would agree 100%. What makes this time different, is how undisciplined we are playing. Just as good of a chance we create momentum for them instead of getting three points for us.

Get in the locker room, calm the guys down, then mount a comeback. (In theory)

 

[ManchesterV]

7 points...Debord is the best defense A&M has.

Not pretty. But we have been backed up big time the whole 2nd quarter. The issues we have had with ball security, we are lucky to still be in it. A turnover deep in their territory would have been ball game. This game isn't over by a long shot
