We have a QB (Go Vols)

[DaddyChad]

It was Syracuse but it was a good start.

 

[DuckInAPen]

Last year may have been a fluke for Fl state. What happened to them the year before? We all thought they were gonna be awful because of last year, maybe they are back to their former selves... much as i dislike Fl state. When they are good.... it's good for CFB.

They're 35 points better than Syracuse?

 

[Butch s]

speaking of Bama. I need to go see if Kangaroo Black posted a video. He's a Bama fan but he gives TN plenty of praise and he doesn't hold back on Bama when they play bad

I don’t want praise from bama fans, I want them to hate us. It’s better that way

 

[chrisvannoy]

They played much better teams than we did also. Fact

I wouldn't call FSU better. The other two forsure. BAMA couldn't block a high school team today, Deboer will be fired by EOS.

I hope he’s not. He’s becoming my favorite bama coach since Shula

 

[IndianaVol]

Funny how he was throwing high early on, but then started bringing his throws down. This is a kid who is learning and working on his techniques. I'm hoping Matthews gets a little better with the hands as the year goes along.

That was the thing that impressed me the MOST about JA today...when he would throw high or miss a guy in a route, etc. at the end of the series he was seeking out a coach to look at what he needed to try to fix.

As far as.Matthews, I think he settles down the next game or two, but I really hope he isn't the next version of "stone hands" Keyton.

True, but the most honest assessments can come from the people who don’t like you

69 million buyout....He isn't getting fired for a good while.

Good

 

[CPVOL]

I mean, Bama only lost by two touchdowns to an ACC team that went 2-10 last year, so it just stands to reason they'd beat an ACC team that went 10-3 last year by three touchdowns.

Bahahaha. Post of the day
We’re so effing back

Respect is respect.
He's not the typical Bama fan, he calls them trash when they're trash and his video today is worth the laugh...

 

[Volfan76]

We’ve all heard about him not having offers out of HS. The idea of becoming a firefighter. A pure hearted kid it seems.
As well as a QB with a live arm. He’s faster than people realize and his release is very quick.

He would have thrown for 300 yards if not for so many drops. Some of that was him being a bit off target but he was on target much more.

I will be watching Nico tonight to see how he does. And as crazy as it seems…we need to thank Nico for leaving. Aguilar is a better QB.

It’s still early. It’s just game one. But this new offense paired with Aguilar is a beautiful thing and I don’t see Nico or Arch, or Ty Simpson running our offense the way he did today.

This kid is supposed to be balling at UCLA.
Instead he’s brought something very special to Knoxville. This is going to be fun season!

Aguilar will be great. He is better than Nico and it's not close. Our receivers on the other hand, except for Staley have me nervous.

If A&M can pay Jimbo 77$mil to not coach... Bama can and will pay Deboer $69mil to kick rocks!!!

Don’t give a damn about their respect either

Bama doesn't have the money boosters that A&M has....Not close.

 

[Butch s]

Bama doesn't have the money boosters that A&M has....No close.

Hope not. I’d like to see ole kalen stick around so I can witness the inevitable meltdown

 

[Butch s]

Does anyone have a report on how the trees in Tallahassee are making it tonight

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

They played much better teams than we did also. Fact

Idk if FSU is much better than Syracuse. They went 2-10 last year. They are better than that but Bama might just be bad.

 

[ptgrbn]

Tennessee didn’t play a team as talented as those 3 teams. The analogy is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. All 3 would beat Syracuse by 3 TDs

Disagree with last point. Cuse is scrappy. Ala and Tex were unimpressive to say the least

 

[VolForLife83]

QB not going to be an issue this year.

Receivers need to put on some stick’um or work on their focus.

Defense was without many pieces today and still managed against (I think) a quality foe.

We gonna be a team to be reckoned with

I dunno man. Half those incomplete were pretty high. And the receivers were jumping and still going off their fingertips. I agree, some of those passes should have been caught when they hit you in the hands, but a couple were thrown behind the wr. Much harder to catch

Last year doesn't matter

I agree with you, but Joey just played the most important game of his life, I’m sure he was amped/nervous, those throws happen to all QBs. But when a ball hits your hands as a receiver, you need to haul it in. Either way, we gonna be ok.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

I’m of the opinion it said more about how bad Bama is than how good FSU is

 

[Midas]

I remember when some people on here were pissed we didn’t get Ty Simpson lol

 

[djohnnyg]

I see Nico and his Bruins are down 20-7. Hate to see it....NOT.
