The Official Tennessee @ #11 Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[AdoptedVOL]

looks like heupel would prefer to move the ball down field and have a shot at points rather than take time outs and allow the D to get set.

 

[AthensVol2007]

It sucked not getting the score at the end, but Florida's defense was completely lost on that last drive, Heupel has things going in the right direction, we got a coach.

Except he doesn’t believe in discipline. There’s no excuse 4 games in to be committing 7 penalties in a ****ing half!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Very discouraging a missed field goal.

The turnover was wasted.

No it wasn’t, FL got nothing even with a 30 yard penalty for them.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Terrible clock management there at the end very should be 17-17

 

[G0V0LS33]

They have to do something to clean up the penalties. No reason we should not be better in the oline. That and bad snaps has killed us.

 

[firestorm]

Just saw the real dog Smokey.

 

[37620VOL]

That is firmly on Heupel. Terrible clock management.

We're going to have to get used to Heupel. He doesn't want to use timeouts on offense to let the defense get reset. And he's never going to put a quarterback under center.

 

[Lane Train 4]

WGWTFA!!!!!

 

[PA Vol]

I’m pleased with the effort, especially defense, but this is as painful as ever.

Defense going to be left out to dry. Mullen will make adjustments and our HC will keep trying to floor it while penalties mount and confusion persists.

 

[ButchPlz]

I’m not a fan of this fast paced AAC offense this won’t work in the SEC

You say as a coach with a decimated roster is still in a major SEC game.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Let's celebrate only being down 3 when we should be up 14

Y’all the same ones who said it would be over by the 1st quarter.

Way to change your narrative.

 

[TNJOKER]

We are never going to win the big games as long as we continue beating ourselves.

2 15 yard penalties back to back will always do it... Several overthrown balls to potentially big plays with momentum shift. Come on. The guy is young, he can learn, but will he?

 

[wmcovol]

No it wasnt wasted they didnt score.....

Saved at least 3 pts probably 7 pts.

 

[VolSoldier4lyfe]

You serious? Where have you been.

Dude i been on this stupid negative site really since 2008 Most of dumba** just negative

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Never forget the ones on here that were 100 percent “correct” that Florida would be up by 30 plus right now and that Florida was the best because they gave Alabama all they wanted last weekend.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Can our defense and depth hold up

 

[andyk_14]

For those complaining about timeouts. You don't call timeouts in this scenario with this offense. If you do the advantage goes to the defense, this offense is designed to go fast with little time off the play clock. Execution could have been better, and a timeout before the kick wouldn't hurt. But overall, this is better than I expected for the first half.

 

[Switch 625]

How does a human stop their momentum running 15 mph 2 feet away?

Whether he calls for a fair catch or not, you still cant hit him before he catches the ball. Even if he bobbles it, you cant hit him until he catches it or it hits the ground. Also, it would have been targeting anyway.

 

[Larkin]

We went 55 yards in 57 seconds and got a very makeable FG attempt. The better question is will we ever get a fan base that actually understands football.

I’ll give them credit for that
I do expect our head coach to have better management as well. you can have both

 

[TheBigOne10]

Let’s go win! Proud of the effort! Carry the fight this half!!!

 

[saxvol]

D needs to be sucking oxygen hard in the locker room.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

We. Had. 2. Time. Outs. One idiot. What an absolute disaster of a drive with clock management. This makes me want to turn it off for the second half.

Come on now. We were just about to be 10 points behind and got lucky. This is a ball game at the half which most of us did not believe would happen.

 

[VolDave53]

Clock management cost us 3 pts. Inexcusable

Bite me. . . The kicker missed. It had nothing to do with clock management.

 

[JoAllan]

We sure like to complain.

Yea…….Tennessee sure made their mistakes.

However it’s 14-17 halftime in the swamp.

I’ll take it.

Hopefully they can come out, and clean it up a bit.

heck most folks figured Florida would be stomping Tennessee by now…….their not…..why complain?

 

[VolKnight9]

Who receives 2nd half?
