The Official Tennessee vs. #4 Alabama Game Thread, 7:30pm ET, ESPN2

I don't mind the AJ run...

You all have been dying from some creativity from our OC, well, there it was.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Butch isn't thinking "oh we're going to lose this anyway", He's thinking "I want points for the effort and only down 17". He's thinks he can win this.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I see light at the end of the tunnel ! Maybe we can make this a game (plays hank Williams I saw the light )

 

[Ashevolle]

My neutered beagle has bigger balls than Butch. You've ran it down their damn throat and you puss out now!

FG will never win a game Butch, remember UF?

just got stuffed the play before

 

[troj89]

I think you've got to go for it there. I'll stand behind them anyway but we needed the TD...:ermm::unsure:

 

[vols72]

I'm sorry I may have wrong and I know we got the three but we gotta go for it there and get six

 

[sonofUT62]

And Butch kicks the field goal. I'm sorry guys, but that is pointless and sends a bad message to the team.

He rewarded his young QB with points and ensured we would go to the half with momentum. It was the right decision.

 

[UTAlum03]

I have been a supporter of Butch.

This is the first time I'm disappointed in a decision.

He's not prepared for SEC ball. Even with young players and all of that crap...he's not there. Yet. Holding out hope.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'm going to say Peterman needs to start looking at FCS schools.

 

[EastTN]

Great coaches go for it there and get 6. No balls

 

[GOVOLS 1]

They may be, but I'm getting tired of the announcer with his "mighty Bama"

 

[qb19]

Not taking away anything from Bammer, but we always piss our pants against them at home. Why why why?

 

[rocketskates]

The field goal wasn't a bad call. Sure you can convert and maybe get a td but could you imagine what it does to morale if
Bama stops us? Should have put the ball in Dobbs' hands on third down. He's been the playmaker so far this game.

The OC is now in a no win situation.

 

[tumscalcium]

I gotta say I'm pretty proud of the O-line this first half.

 

[biggestvols]

Haha how pompous.

Kiffin so lazy and arrogant he has to have someone remove his headset.

Well throw something at him

 

[Volumnus 2011]

Gotta get points out of that drive

It's not popular, but I agree. If we come away with NO points there, it would be a huge momentum killer.

 

[Titans4Vols]

You guys want to take a 4th and 1 with out o-line, not get it, and give Bama all the momentum at half?

lol shut up

 

[Jake]

Yea it was dumb to run AJ

Agreed

 

[Sandvol]

I've been saying all year it's not the o-line completely it's the QB too. Now tell me "You were right Sandvol."

 

[utvolpj]

Yeah a fg is gonna make a difference in this game.

Going for it and coming up empty would be a negative. It was a good stop on d and we followed it up with a good drive that put up points to end the half.

The 3rd down call I disagree with but no issue with kicking it

 

[IPleadInsanity]

Why do you run the wildcat with a defensive player, is Hurd injured? No offensive creativity. Bama gets the ball 2nd half. I can see kicking a FG is we get the ball, damn!

 

[Joe Vols]

This is pathetic. We've scored 10 unanswered points. No way we can beat Bama. Our coaches can't match up with Lane Kiffin. His brain is so big offensively. Don't believe.

This this this.

 

[Catbone]

I thought you were out like 30 minutes ago? Lol
