Dude just run there Hooker wtf

He almost fell trying to throw it.

 

[Volsfannn]

UT has had chances to be way on top

 

[Megatron88]

All Hooker had to do was run the damn ball ....

 

[Orange931]

Within 4 almost halfway through the 3rd with a depleted roster and 1st year head coach. I’ll take it.

 

[Voltopia]

Tough to see the momentum of a big punt block whittled down to 3 points in a huge game. I hope Tennessee can build on it.

 

[GoVolunteers]

I think Hooker is just gutting it out hurt tonight. Glad to see him in there though. I love the fight in this team.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

Just awful. AWFUL. We could not have possibly have drawn up a better start to the 2nd half and the offense has been pathetic.

We just scored points. That's not awful

 

[FlVols]

Go Vols. Who would have thought we’d be right in this game?? So _____ exciting!!

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Hooker is very indecisive right now

 

[EODVOL]

Hooker has to commit sooner, Bama defenders are too fast. He needs to pick up as many yards as he can.

 

[chuckb1448]

Man, we've had opportunities.

We have, I hate we are making mistakes.... these guys have Got to Believe

 

[TennVols12]

Damnit hooker gotta run that and setup a potential 4th down attempt

And then what? Get stuffed up the middle on 4th and 1?

 

[ACvol3]

HH screwed that play all up, he had Evans open or he could have ran it

Wanted it all and got excited

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Lampley is down
Proud of the fight!!!

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

I swear if they gave us the ball on the 1 yard line with a full set of downs, we’d run it up the middle 4 times and turn it over on downs.

 

[House of Neyland]

Bama giving us chances and we aren’t taking them

 

[SlipKidVol]

I'm sorry...flags and not one replay

 

[VolNation88]

Should we put Milton in for some QB run's ? Just to get the defense off track some?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Field goal is good. Again, if Hooker was playing like last week we would be leading this game. He could have run for that first and five to the goal. 21-17 in third quarter is pretty dang good. We gotta start playing to win.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Clearly it was the better call. Now if we were within striking distance of the end zone at the end of a half then you always throw it. Always.

Worked this time in your favor. Usually it’s 99 times the other way IMO.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

remember when alabama buried our kicker with four guys on purpose? it was because of chances like what's coming. they knew it was coming. I'm impressed with our kicker.

 

[C-south]

Man, we've had opportunities.

And blow them. Not sure if it’s stubbornness, ineptness, or a combination. This is a beatable Bama team. We know where they’re better and still challenge them there.

 

[UTK]

You must didn't see the 4 Bama players in front of him. Can't afford to get Hooked hurt.

I saw them, they woulda met pretty much right at the line if he commits to running forward. We're in this game, gotta play balls to the wall.

 

[alavolfan]

Like hooker is scared to run… run it, dang it. Gotta capitalize on turnovers. 3 is better than nothing though.

 

[TN1111]

If Hooker runs there he does an inexplicable spin that forces him to be short.
