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

Guys whatever the outcome of this game….this team is WAY ahead of anything pruitt put on the field and they play freakin hard. We get some more caliber players it could be scary

A Heuple led Vols would curb stomp a Pruitt led Vols. Not even remotely close.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I'm just frustrated that adults can't line up on offense

 

[give_him 6]

I really miss Ron Franklin and Mike Patrick in these ESPN games.

I loved those guys. Nostaglic.

Trolling hard. Doesn’t fit your narrative of being down by 3 at the swamp. Gotta find a different angle to gripe about.

Yea we were in the Pitt game too. If you’re celebrating being down 3 we have sunk to a new low.

That should have been a penalty on him for an illegal fair catch signal..... go look it up. you have to raise your hand above your head and go back and forth across your frame more than once or it is illegal.. The targeting would have stood up, but the interference and his penalty would have offset. and I think require another play punt. The dead ball foul would have to be enforced too. But for replay, who is supposed to look at all aspects of fouls on the play to not bring it up should be career limiting.

I also thought the fair catch was late as well. Targeting would have been upheld and it appears he knew it by his actions after. I am ecstatic and pleased with our warriors to this point. Evidently our guys came to play. I like it.

What is the rule stating that was an illegal fair catch? Only one I know is if the returner signals a fair catch then runs with the ball.

The rule for a fair catch is that the arm has to be fully extended above the helmet. It was legal to hit him had the refs not blown that one. Targeting wasn't legal though.

 

[Dergibvol]

Exactly

You're missing the point. Hooker shouldn't have spiked the ball. Coach should've called a TO. Thats not on hooker and has nothing to do with his IQ.

. My wife told me to stop at 10

Well, 9PM Eastern. Have her run to the store and restock

 

[TNJOKER]

That was bad but that was 2 weeks ago.

A lot can be learned and taught In 2 weeks.

Pruitt was a joke. Many of us knew it from the beginning

I'm about to halftime adjust myself another Jack n Diet. Go Vols!!! Whip that gator @SSS!!!!!!! We're here....let's finish. Finally a team of kids that fight!!!!

 

[lostsheep]

He wasn’t wrong. We could have had 2-3 more plays. No reason not to use them

I don’t care. He’s a former bama qb and he’s a sh!tful brains commentator.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

This team is better prepared than any of Pruitts, just got to clean up the dumb penalties and hit the wide open recievers...

 

[njvols]

We are still in it. Hope our D doesn’t get tired. I wonder if someone can post the TOP so far?

Think Florida going to pound the rock. If I were them I’d throw a few long balls to loosen us up and steady dose of run. Hope our D depth holds

 

[VolArmy74]

The goal was TO SCORE POINTS.

The coach can't kick the football too.

 

[tbones0711]

USCe hanging with UK. A german virgin of a game........guttentight !!

 

[peerless98]

Y’all are setting yourself up for a major let down

That's what fanatics do; if you don't set yourself up, you'll always be laying down.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

The offense today looks more dangerous than the last 4 years combined with JG.

 

[BigALWiLson]

We are in this game.... how many saw that coming????

 

[Viking Vol]

Tennessee makes adjustments and WINS by 3

but but but....."cornbread"

 

[lukeneyland]

I was actually thinking this game is a trend of the last 3. min general it seems like we aren’t good on third down. my best guess is we just have too many dropped passes/inaccurate throws for longer distances. overall we have to be ranked really low in that area

We don’t seem to handle blitzes well and that might be well

 

[SCRocket]

That speed thing is BS. We are so fast we can't get our own players set. Slow the F down for once. I am all out of moral victories. Based on what we have seen, we can hang with Florida. If we could stop shooting off our own feet we could win.

You gotta move the ball or it doesn’t matter how much time you have. The announcer was annoying.

 

[TNJOKER]

I lol'ed at this.
