The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Appalachian St. Game Thread, 7:30pm ET (9/1/16), SECN

[armchair]

Saban is taking a tranquilizer right now because he's so damn nervous about mighty Tennessee!

 

[jackaro]

This is the type of game you get when you game plan to protect Dobbs instead of letting him run the ball.

 

[GreGGo]

1998. Jeff Hall hits a 27 yard field goal as time expires and Tennessee beats Syracuse 34-33. The real test is in two weeks.

New Sod

lol was being a little sarcastic (joyful though)

 

[Vol Halla]

The only way I'll feel good about this game is if App. State goes 12-1 on the season.

 

[coach799]

Reading the hype should be in the past now! The biggest improvement is from week one to week two according to the experts so we're good!

GO VOLS!!!

 

[Shakinthefat]

In 1998 we barely beat Syracuse 34-33.....things ended well.

 

[chargervol]

I don't know how much I'd be jumping around if I were a Vol. Other team misses kicks, you get miracle fumble recovery. Your offense is a disaster. Just Terrible.

Your defense is stout. I don't think you are winning the SEC. Jury is out on the East until we see everyone else. But based on tonight you're far more likely to play in a bowl game in Orlando than the SEC championship in Atlanta.

Meh, I watched a much worse team barely overcome East Carolina last year and still win the east.
God knows they sucked more and aren't deserving of anything but hey, it happens.










Beaoootch.

Hard hitting analysis there, Coach Obvious.

 

[peerless98]

But Syracuse was ranked #19...

Maybe App State should be #18

 

[armchair]

We'll talk all week about good AppState is and miami will beat them by 30 and they'll end the season 4-7.

 

[volgrad500]

Lyle Jones is the worst coach in the SEC. We will win some games this year because the East is so down, but long term, this guy is hot garbage.

 

[give_him 6]

Anyone else celebrating with some victory nachos?

 

[508mikey]

1998. Jeff Hall hits a 27 yard field goal as time expires and Tennessee beats Syracuse 34-33. App St. is a better team than Syracuse has ever been. The real test is in two weeks.

vs Ohio ?

 

[kell7517]

Before the game, announcers were saying when the game gets out of hand. We should still leave Dobbs in, Hahahaha

 

[BigOrangeD]

Glad we got the win but they sure did stink up the field and got super lucky to win this one. App Sts field goal kicker was our best player. Our Oline is bad. Our DLine stepped up in the end.

And as usual, I saw no half time adjustments from our coaching staff.

Not running Dobbs to save his legs for VT proved to be a bad idea.

 

[neostig]

I'm actually excited I have to get up at 5am and go to work.

 

[patrick]

Worst offensive play calling I have ever seen...

Asinine......

Lucky win.

And Jones talking to App State - Sorry Coach Jones u arent wanted in their huddle and you need to focus on your own damn team!

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

Anybody ready to "snap and clear?"

 

[peerless98]

Saban is taking a tranquilizer right now because he's so damn nervous about mighty Tennessee!

We don't give 2 craps what Saban thinks

 

[Lankykong]

Valid point, but that's because we lacked any talent.

What's your excuse ?

You must have been on the D4H bandwagon.

 

[AirVol]

Appy is a solid team. They should be #19.

NegaVols won't give credit to App St. They played good, that read option is hard to defend. We got a W and that's all that matters.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

On a brighter note, the field looked great! What we seen on it tonight, not so much.

 

[SAPPER 5]

Booger should be pulling you cliff-divers back from the ledge right now.

 

[HoptownVol]

Not a win I feel good about. Pitiful performance by the offense. Don't we have a GA that can take over Debord's job? We are back to some of Fulmer's worst offenses ever with predictable playcalling and regressive QB play. Dobbs gets the Golden Outhouse award for worst senior debut.
