The Official Tennessee vs. #17/20 West Virginia Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[UTK]

Am I missing something? Why do we have a safety covering their best WR?

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Looks like it’s gonna be a long season.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Just play your game, Vols.

 

[MurphyVol]

I was kind of afraid the weather delay would also hurt us. We were pretty amped up. Killed it

Nah, they're just a better, deeper team

 

[TNJOKER]

Time for the Vols to counter with a TD.

And... An interception from WV.

 

[maotai]

It is possible that this defense leads the league in rushing defense since all a team has to do is throw the ball.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Why do we have a true freshman covering one of the best receivers in college football?

Because we hada corner blitz and he was the one who was supposed to pick him up

Took a chance and blitzed the corner. It didn't work out.

 

[90 Vol]

The lightning delay could have affected us. Defense wasn’t ready.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Young team, slow start. Long halftime. Young team needs to score points. Go Vols!

 

[AllVols]

Don't think we could afford that

 

[Vol-a-Roo]

This game ain't over yet! Plenty of time left to kick some WV butt!

 

[hUTch2002]

Did some of ya’ll expect an National Championship first game?

Most of us rational fans knew it would be an up & down season with new coaching staff and scheme.

Tons of people on here said 8-4 or 9-3. Possible still but not likely. The UF game will be huge.

 

[Grudenator]

Lmao what the heck was that

 

[johnboyhunter]

That was too easy. I could have a lot more Saturdays for hunting this fall if this is the way we are going to play.

 

[KB5252]

Horrible field vision on that return.

 

[ATLVols]

We’re going to have to get a rush from our D-line because if we bring blitzes with no safety help, they will kill us.

 

[YankeeVol]

How bout blow the whistle?!?!

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I don’t like warrior returning kicks.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

We have no play makers

Pruitt said pretty much not an sec team when he got there sooo

 

[rocketskates]

Threw warrior down after the whistle. Should’ve been a penalty. Add that the WVU referee grace list.

 

[KBVol]

Warrior about 30% the player I thought he’d be. He sure ain’t his daddy.

 

[cali_vol]

Our return guys seem really slow.

 

[orangerush]

Warrior is not a return man

It’s not about scheme, WV has much better players
