The Official Tennessee @ #9 Florida Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[PA Vol]

If the defense holds and Mauer can generate enough energy to lead us to victory I will get his name and number tattooed on me. **** the Gators.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Your factual data does not justify dogging a kid!

Just stop. We needed a QB change, period.

 

[rusty11]

Yeah, but watch JG start the UGA game. We'll get the same old story about how he had a great 2 weeks of practice. The benching was just what he needed to get his head straight. He's our best guy...blah..blah..

 

[UTK]

3 > 0. It puts us within two possessions and builds a little confidence.

I would follow if it wasn't almost a guarantee UF will score on this drive lol

 

[zeppelin128]

Cimaglia is clutch. Final score Tennessee 18 Florida 17.

 

[hUTch2002]

I don’t think he was looking to play a true freshman during the Florida - Bama stretch of the schedule.

No choice now.

100% agree. He wanted JG to take those lumps. I’m glad he made the change finally.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

I'm just glad that the coaches decided to read Volnation at halftime and found out they should put in a different QB

Id like to take full credit for seating him with my lame horse analogy

 

[tnvols72]

Was Pruitt looking to redshirt the backup QB?

Because if he was, he shouldn’t.

Nah its just a Pruitt thing , he is the best coach in America Aight

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Rather have 6 but yes it can build some confidence for our offense

It's always better to have some points........don't want it to be a 45-0 game either.

 

[MemphisVol77]

It's feint but we have a pulse

 

[johnboyhunter]

He's got some gunslinger in him. That can be good or bad.

Gets the ball out quick though. We got nothing to lose at this point.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

To beat Florida, use a Florida boy!

 

[FranklinVFL]

If JG comes back in I’m done. I’d rather watch a true freshman play like a true freshman than watch a redshirt junior play like a High school freshman.

FYP

Couple posters on suicide watch

 

[lexkyvol]

JG apologists are nervous

im not...im convinced!

 

[sccshortstop]

Not he stops and turns around before that. I ain't crazy I swear. I think it's just easy to blame everything on JG (trust me I get it. He's sucked this season) lol but I say any QB would say that's on DWA

He has sucked every season!!!

 

[Sara Clark]

As many self imposed penalties, bad QB throws, this game is not out of reach. The score could be much worse. Hope Maurer can get it done...Dear God, let him be the answer for us.

 

[RanMac]

the entire first half, we got nothing. Give the kid a chance to breathe, take in what he did wrong and what he can do better. Hope the D makes a stop with the renewed optimism, and open the play book a little more next possession.

 

[Byrddog]

It is amazing that a freshman QB can give us hope back for this team.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I dont think that was a possibility. I think he genuinely thinks Gurantano is less risk. The freshman has more upside but will as you see gamble throwing into heavy coverage plenty so score more but give up more big defensive plays

JG is an interception waiting to happen

 

[top5vols]

Take the fight to them! Swing pass to Chandler

 

[NEVolFan]

JG apologists are nervous

Eh... they ought to be worn the f out and have no fight left.

 

[lifeVol]

Wow Pruitt. You only needed to start the season as bad as we’ve ever had in our history to recognize what was blatantly obvious to every arm chair qb in the world...that jg was a terrible qb. Way to step up. Just about 4 games too late

yep, but actually 3 1/2 games too late, but better late than never, jg had to be a negative factor team wide, they can see he can't get it done just like we do

 

[jpope9]

lets see if that fires up our D

 

[firestorm]

Ok defense defend
