[Carl Pickens]

Hats off to Pittsburgh. Them mfrs never quit

They’ve got some injuries to deal with moving forward too

 

[aurabass]

Anybody else totally exhausted and unable to watch Gators & Wildcats or USC & Stanford???
I have to sleep for a week now.
but at least I can rest easy with the W

 

[malibuvol]

I'm so happy to see Tennessee win on a controversial call ... now Pitt can bitch about officiating. We got screwed last year ... fair is fair!

Yep, thank goodness for those SEC officials late in the game

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

This is the type of game that can define how a team pursues the rest of the season, 1st qtr the Defense was soft, but they tightened up and Pitts QBs will be tasting TN orange for a few weeks now

 

[molsen81]

Ok hometown Stanford, let’s wack USC!

 

[ATC_VOL]

Wasn’t pretty but an important road W against a solid team. Go Vols!

 

[The Tall Gguy]

So glad that is over

 

[EconVol92]

On the bright side, at least we aren’t A&M right now.

 

[perico]

No complaints about the passing game. A few too many drops but Hendon is the real Iceman. Now our running game... they got to get on track.

I’ll take the win, but i definitely feel mixed about this one. We played awful, play calling sucked at times. And yet after making every possible mistake we still get a ranked win on the road. We’ll see what the season has in store, go fu***** vols! Let’s get drunk boys and girls

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Gotta go get more beer now. Part celebratory party nerves. BRB

 

[OrangeFrog]

Thankful it's over. Don't think I can take another Bachelorette commercial.

 

[Wezcoast]

If some good came from this crap show, our defense had to grow from this. I just let go and accepted that we were about to lose to another broken backup qb.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

EAT ****, PITT

They were outmatched athletically by a wide margin and scrapped all the way to overtime with their 3rd string Qb. They deserve respect today.

 

[kingkisses]

glad that we can win with our defense

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Messy Ugly But Wicked Gutsy

 

[SAPPER 5]

Hats off to Pittsburgh. Them mfrs never quit

Neither did the Vols!

 

[Orange931]

Now let’s pull our heads out of our a**es for the rest of the year and play better football.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Way to go Vols, it was hardly flawless but we scraped on D and the offense made the play in crunch time! Team victory but real proud of the way the defense battled today!!! Great win! GBO!

 

[kell7517]

A win is a win, but expectations are definitely lowered.

Against the former ACC champs, at there place and ranked. Hhmmm

 

[AllThingsTN]

Super proud of our defense tonight. We missed 3-4 big plays on offense to close the game out but our defense kept us in.

 

[Sivad]

Gotta believe guys. We are better than last year!! All you negavols have to get out of your defeatest attitude

 

[Volfan2012]

When you can gut our a win on a bad day overall feels great.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

In their defense there’s a lot to be nega about but an ugly win is still a win.

Impossible. Literally. A top 20 win on the road closed out on defense is terrific. All the best Neg's...

 

[UTK]

Okay I lied about still being pissed if we win, GBO lmao
