[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Need to feed Jennings in the second half

 

[ATLVols]

Great first half start for JG! He’s come to play. Get him some blocking and more run game.

 

[KBVol]

For all of you “it’s all about time of possession, offense has to help out the defense” guys.....we held the ball 21:06 to WVa’s 8:54 in the first half....we’re losing.

 

[PA Vol]

Helton has been no bueno, hopefully he doesn’t lose it for us. We had the MO and let them score at the end...

I'm not ready to toss the blame on him yet. I think he anticipated a blitz and played cautious because of it. His OL hadn't exactly inspired confidence.

 

[orangerush]

It's a struggle to score.

Ummmm. No.

 

[Volfan2012]

OL is the weakness of the team that is obvious in this game.

 

[volfanlogan9]

Hopefully we have some kind of depth to not be wore down in the second half. We are rigbt there and I've liked what I've seen from JG and TJ. I'm excited about this half.

You also have to score

 

[wvu2003]

Not sure how we're only up 6.

Getting nervous. Sloppy, but fun football game.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

We'll be fine, o line doing alittle better with Hall in still not great. Crazy I'm saying this but those short throws are working and opening up the run. Defense is 10x better so far than last year. Tim Jordan running with authority

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I really like our team

I do too. I think we are going to be a little better than I thought if we can get a few kinks worked out.

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

Anybody see the penn state score?? It’s 10-10 at halftime, their playin App State. Those kids always find a way to play Well in those big time games. If they pull out the upset it would be huge. Ok back to the VOLS now!

 

[hUTch2002]

I loved the decision to go for it on fourth down to get that touchdown. That tells me that Pruitt has balls and plays to win.

13-7 very different than 13-3.

 

[photovol]

Injury report?

Losing Chandler is huge, especially with 11 1/2 games to go

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Helton called great the peevious drive, but got to thinking too much that last drive. That 3rd down play should have definitely been a pass.

Yes that was a 1st time OC move. Has anyone gotten close to breaking a pass to Callaway?

We are killing their CBs

 

[orangerush]

We desperately need play makers.

 

[orange4ever]

Too much dude. Even if he’s an opponent you don’t wish that kinda thing on anyone. Keep it sportsmanlike.

Alright,break his leg.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Huh?

Tenn's last possession before the half. THEY had the MO and WV was wearing down. Called 2 handoffs in the backfield on 2 and 3rd down; BOTH for losses. STUPID AZZ CALLS. Let JG throw it; or run it to the LEFT. That's where the yards are coming . Got it?

 

[volchile]

The first possession of the second half wlll be huge

 

[KBVol]

They’re gonna make JG throw

Good. We can win with him throwing. Just give him 2-3 seconds and we’re good.

 

[volsfanforlife73]

Injury report?

You guys bitching need to remember we’re playing our first game in these schemes, got punched in the mouth right off the bat, then came back and it’s a game. Be patient. I didn’t really like the play call by Helton either, but with proper blocking that goes to the house.

 

[Paper_Towel]

WV got a DT from USC. Looks like they got their band from them, too.

 

[1974Vol]

Yep if he guessed right maybe we pop one for a long run.

But that will wear down the WVU defense in the 2nd half
