The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

[87&91ALUM]

Two fairly evenly matched football teams. Battle of QBs and defenses.

 

[McDad]

Get our butts down the girls and score!! Go Vols!!!

I need TransPerfect to translate your post.

 

[AustinMem]

I mean, at this point what position other than QB and WR isn’t an immediate need in the transfer portal?

 

[VFL28]

All right offense, you’re up.

 

[Voltopia]

Steel yourselves. Here come the "injuries" for Purdue on defense.

 

[SaltyBro]

If it’s so meaningless, why are you here?

To laugh at fans like you

 

[Gary10ec1]

Need some points here in the worst way. Sloppy field males it tough.

 

[djohnnyg]

My Hooker buzz has taken a hit today.

 

[GoVols1961]

Pass was hot and a little behind Banks. Can't dog him for dropping it. He is playing his butt off.

 

[Peyton Berry]

I've been saying that all season. Volnation has let me know I can not question Heupel’s play calling, that makes me a negavol in their opinion

I love Heupel, but the fact wewish he had more than one play call on 3rd and 4th and short doesn’t mean we’re negavols! Talk about play action being set up!

 

[patrick]

Oh and the field sucks.

 

[87&91ALUM]

They just have to say if you do down you have to sit the rest of the series or like 8 plays.

I say a quarter

 

[tbones0711]

did that earlier in the game for Purdue

I'd swear they were in with the sports book after the Pittsburg game and strong money was coming in on UT as the line closed today. These are ACC officials.

 

[Vol4life2]

Wrong. This one means 8-5 vs 7-6. That’s big

Not at all. He accomplished what he needed to do in his first year. This is icing on the cake. I’d rather win, but…. It is what it is.

 

[Sarms58]

Good play by Banks but man that would have been six!

 

[Gilb69]

Honeymoon is about to be over with CJH it we lose to this Purdue team.

OMG!

 

[tnvols72]

Has anyone else noticed that for EVERY 3rd or 4th down and 2 or less, the play call has been a zone read up the middle??
It’s been like that over 75% of the time during the season as well, and defenses are selling out for it. Although we have converted more than we haven’t today..

I am surprised that Heup or Golesh has not figured out to throw that play in the garbage

 

[VolArmy74]

They just have to say if you do down you have to sit the rest of the series or like 8 plays.

Sit 4 plays or take a time out to get the player back.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

They just have to say if you do down you have to sit the rest of the series or like 8 plays.

I agree, but your solution is still too easy for the NCAA boneheads.

 

[Volaholic320]

The camera crew must be all interns

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I’m convinced that if we had proper cleats or if the field wasn’t garbage, our receivers would be killing this Purdue secondary!
GBO!!

 

[casetopia]

Hooker pump faked the camera man.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Need points here

 

[patrick]

Hooker trying to do too much with his legs.

 

[Megatron88]

Here we go faking injuries again.
