This is going to be the BYU game all over again.

 

[CountVolcula]

Pruitt is coaching smart, not scared

It's easy to go for it on 4th from the couch

 

[bigdaddy]

Thats on the coaches, he should have been taking snaps. Unless our defense continues to play the rest of the game as we are now, it will take at least 24 points to win and pruitt should know this, and we and we can't score that much with this type of play calling imo

HOw can when Maurer needs all the snaps

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Any word on Maurer’s injury? I’m assuming concussion at this point.

 

[Dudleys87]

Might as well practice the triple option next week all day in practice. Or hope the defense can score for us

We could practice the annexation of Puerto Rico and still get beat by 40.

Extra points for the Vols if you know the movie reference

 

[MeanOrange]

Our best player is our FG kicker. Sad.

 

[OrangeSquid]

Boom! Got his starting job back

LOL!

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

yea just take the points. after watching jg fail 4 consecutive times from the 10 yard line last week....i have no faith in getting the 1st down there

We have to at least try a safe playon 3rd down to get a first down. I’m not impressed with the decision making. Makes you wonder how some of the coaches made it this far for a D1 football program.

 

[PA Vol]

That was a big time catch.

 

[gisman]

just win baby. any way we can.

 

[NATHAN05]

Three points and at least the D has gotten some rest.

Yep......and 2 Score game....I'm good with the call

 

[Switch 625]

Good decision to take the FG there. Lost the BYU game going for those.

Good point. Pruitt caught hell for not taking the points in that game. I think the plan now is to hold the lead and get the W with our D. Not a popular strategy, but we are limited with JG and desperately need a win.

 

[brubaker]

Need a fumble right here

 

[firestorm]

All orange uniforms look great, and the Volunteers should wear the all orange uniforms more often since they are playing effective.

 

[VolforFootball]

Well you’re QB threw 2 interceptions so what would you call?

Fumblerooski.

 

[tnvols72]

Thompson has been getting beat ever since he has been back this year

 

[volinSmyrna]

Team always looks lethargic with #2 in the game

It is truly amazing and incredibly obvious.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Wow circus catch.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

No catch

 

[UTK]

Pruitt is coaching smart, not scared

It's easy to go for it on 4th from the couch

Running on 3rd and 9 isn't smart.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Any word on Maurer’s injury? I’m assuming concussion at this point.

May be a shoulder injury since someone posted his arm was limp walking to the sideline.

 

[willinhf]

No catch

Catch

 

[peerless98]

Why would they? Zero confidence

After 2 interceptions in the end zone already, why should they have confidence?

 

[MeanOrange]

We are watching how to lose another game.

 

[Jrobin]

That was a big time catch.

AND A BIG TIME THROW!!! Give credit to the kid
