The Official Johnny Majors Classic Game Thread: #24 Tennessee @ #17 Pittsburgh, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

[Carl Pickens]

Just got to get dudes in position on the back end to make plays.

Or at least be within 3-4 yards of the receiver

 

[VOLanooga]

It’s

Hooker was great after the first few series. Tillman had a few he should've caught, but it was the running game which was concerning. Small and Wright were bad today.

It’s a little hard to run with any effectiveness when your O line is watching defenders run past them and hit our RB’s in the backfield

Better call ga up and tell them to shine up that national championship thorphy FOR US WE'RE BACK BABY FEELS LIKE 98

This is what Tennessee football is.

 

[C-south]

Last year we choked and LOST. This year we choked and WON. That's literal improvement.

We just gotta take out 2 qbs every game.

What the hell were you expecting? still capable of beating everyone on the schedule except Bama and UGA

Beating FL would be nice.

 

[MeanOrange]

Maybe it was the lack of pass coverage. Maybe the 80 yard td run. Maybe the fumble, muffed punt, and terrible O-line play. We still have a lot of good teams to play that are way better than Pitt. There’s a lot to be concerned about if it isn’t fixed.

Agree. 3 points after the half is very concerning.

We played our C- game and still won against a ranked team on the road. This must be how Bama fans feel...lol. GBO use next week as a scrimmage to get ready for the Gators!!

 

[JoAllan]

It sucks but this was a three win team two years ago. Teams that are turning the quarter play like shi* and find ways to win. I hate that we played bad BUT we won!

Yea

You cannot become good or hopefully great (at some point) without learning how to win games like this…….they happen.

Tennessee found a way to win…….last year they simply found ways to lose them (for the most part).

 

[SaipanVol]

I think I saw a stat that said defense had the most QB pressures in 10 years today.

I saw that too. Great defense!

 

[runthrutheT]

Was Pitt our Syracuse? Just kidding. We are going 8-4

 

[jaxvol]

Just went off blood pressure medication this week after retirement in March. I forgot about UT football.

 

[volmoon]

51% good / 49% bad… yeah, that feels about right

Great post

That's how most of us probably look right now

 

[Volhoops]

Can somebody explain the toe down is not a catch ? I still don't know how we got that call.

 

[djohnnyg]

At the end of the day we beat the 17th ranked team...at their place. We weren't in Knoxville playing Austin Peay.

Straight vodka lol

My man! I like it

 

[vegasvolfan]

BIG UGLY win. Seriously our BIG uglies won that game. BIG improvements to make. BIG belated birthday gift!!!! GO VOLS!!!

 

[mudhen]

Hey guys, a lot of people are forgetting that Pitt was way higher in the ratings than us. Top twenty teams don't lay down for ANYONE. The Vols dug in their heels and delivered when in past times they folded like wet newspaper.

 

[TheDirector]

Switched back over to my Roku after the game and the ESPN3 live feed was still going. The announcers had no idea they were still on the air. They were talking about how disappointed they were that Pitt didn't win. They said it was set up for a storybook ending. It was a really bad look. Did anyone else catch that?

Be careful you'll be called a clown and told to leave if you have a different opinion. Fact is, we gotta get way better or Florida is gonna curb stomp us.
