The Official Tennessee vs. #5 Texas A&M Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[BreatheUT]

Good defensive stop. The bad news is we need a TD here because A&M gets the ball first to start the 2nd half.

 

[lilesrt]

Apathy. The perfect word to describe this game.

 

[RAVOL]

When you hold the ball 5 seconds against a team with a great pass rush, it's not the OL that is the problem.

OL pass blocking is spot on this Game so far. Bailey showing inexperience . In CHRIST Alone

 

[901 Orange]

Next drive is huge need at least 3

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I agree he’s better but that’s not saying a lot. He makes some good plays but he isn’t exactly playing lights out.

Didn’t say he was playing lights out, but there’s a big difference IMO. He usually goes to the right read and has actual touch on the ball. Something that the 5th year senior did not do well at all.

 

[vol94]

Sometimes the “the other team” makes plays. HB will learn and improve. His O line didn’t help much on the last fumble.
NFL QBs fumble, too.

 

[peerless98]

Cry me a river. I can be critical of piss poor decision making from ANY player on the roster. Don't like it? Keep scrolling. He throws a good ball.... when he decides to get rid of it. Plenty of Div 1 freshmen QBs making quick decisions, right now HB isn't one of them.

If he made a decision as quickly as you expect, he would be throwing out of bounds most of the time; our receivers do not get open. He will have to take some chances like it or not.

 

[99Vol]

You don't think fumbling the ball twice has already hurt his confidence? He has to get rid of the dang ball

Nah, now Chandler’s confidence may be shaky after getting plowed over and letting his QB get hit. HB correctly thought he had another half second. RB can’t get blown up like that...

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

We deserve better than this. We just do.

I don’t know if we will ever have nice things.

 

[Volnbeers]

velus jones is the best player on this team

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Agree, but he does need to protect the ball as he has already put it on the ground twice.

He does have to improve, but he will with time.

 

[BreatheUT]

The replay showed awful defense on that stop.

 

[give_him 6]

He fast

 

[utvolpj]

Fant with a great block on that run

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Can we not stick with a QB?

 

[PA Vol]

So stupid to rotate QBs right now.

 

[Switch 625]

DBs are clueless. How do you leave a guy wide open in the end zone to go help cover an underneath guy?

 

[GatormanTX]

Give Bailey an opportunity to bounce back. It's part of his development

I agree. QB roulette ensures you never get continuity.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

A 3rd down stop!?!?!

 

[Creeker]

Pretty nice little roll out there by JT

 

[508mikey]

Give Bailey an opportunity to bounce back. It's part of his development

Nah let Shrout throw a pick 6 first - its Belars mentality

 

[Sin City Vol]

At what point does a DB playing zone say “hey there’s not a damn person in my area and this guy is wide open in the misdle
Of the end zone..I need to move that way?”

 

[BreatheUT]

For those that are wondering why Shrout is in the game - Answer: we only have 7 points with 6 minutes left in the 1st half.

 

[Bryan1]

If Shrout throws a pick I'm turning this game off!

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Heck yes
