The Official #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[Buddr]

Not today, all season

Just a question. Do you think Nico would be better than Milton? I like Nico but he is not ready yet IMO.

 

[allstar34bd]

If you’re a 6th year senior, still making zero IQ plays… I’m happy you got some degrees buddy. Good luck in whatever you do next.

 

[CAVPUT]

A shot is all I'd want. Granted, I don't think Ole Miss has what it takes to win that one. Honestly, the fact that they're ranked so high likely means UGA will be wide awake for this game and that's not good news for Ole Miss. Sadly, I don't think we'll be able to hold up our end of the deal and beat Mizzou this afternoon. Still, what an insane environment we'd have at Neyland of the stars aligned today. Gonna dream until there's no chance though.

You do A Lot of thinking. A LOT of wrong thinking at that.

 

[Pappy]

did Mr Beasley play today?

 

[Majors]

Not today, all season

7 wins with a bad loss to Florida when the defense thump tackles for TDS and a loss to Alabama up 14 at halftime.

maybe Nico thinks he is ready

Don’t know if he would or wouldn’t. Not knowing is no reason not to try.

MIA since the Orange Bowl

 

[CAVPUT]

Joe wasn’t the issue today.

Well, he wasn't THE issue, but old Joe made a return today.

 

[Tshotdan]

And so is believing in Banks. With a good D coordinator we had a chance this year

Can’t stop anybody on 3rd down.

 

[allstar34bd]

Well, he wasn't THE issue, but old Joe made a return today.

Therefore he was the issue. Old Joe is trash. Our receivers have to make outstanding catches just to get even the most basic receptions.

 

[Manning4ever]

If the fooldawgs had the same refs we had this year, they would have had no chance.

 

[allstar34bd]

I’m sorry for all the Joe hate… I’m sure the guy cares; but the taunting while losing, the lack of decision making, and the overall inaccuracy is a recipe for disaster against a decent team.

 

[Majors]

Well, he wasn't THE issue, but old Joe made a return today.

How so? INT at the end didn’t cause us to lose…just caused us to lose by 29 and not 22. Sampson fumble? Wright fumble? Defense giving up 300 yards to a D2 transfer? Just not understanding old Joe as he was 22/34 for 267, 1td, 1 int.

Is he the reason we couldn’t cover a check down in the first half? Or a 3rd on the 1 inch line scramble for 20?

 

[Tshotdan]

Nico should have played the last 2 series.

True, give us a QB please! Pathetic team. GA by 30. Lucky to beat Vandy. Typical TN season.

 

[mizzou waltz]

Okay for those melting down. We go through this every week.
This team will give up yards. Inevitable at this point.
The goal is to keep them from getting 6.

Missouri is bad in the red zone, Tennessee plays the best defense there. Two things need to happen, win the red zone on defense, run the dang ball effectively.

Bad in the red zone? Missouri leads the country in the red zone. Going into last week it was 97+%

For some reason, he is tasked with playing qb, scoring only 7 is largely his fault. Can’t win in any game scoring 7. Unless you’re opponent scores 6 or less

 

[DynaLo]

Would have been nice to see gap integrity maintained by our defense and just maybe a spy on their running qb.
Our defense was discombobulated all game.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Milton was 13/14 at one point. He’s not the problem.

 

[Majors]

FG missed at the end? Joes fault? Wright fumble before half, points off the board. Joe fault? Easy to blame Joe when fans don’t want to acknowledge the defense got worked.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Halftime adjustments were not made. And that’s a trend. It’s alarming. Also, we have no second gear. What you see is what you get and if it doesn’t work and penalties or turnovers are present, we look very mediocre.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Missouri saw something in the defense on the right side. They ran most of their plays there and had space most of the day.
Vols gotta correct that

 

[BenGrimm]

Give the punter credit too. He played well.

yeah he actually had the best game.

 

[Butch s]

Milton was 13/14 at one point. He’s not the problem.

We scored 7. He is the leader of the offense. Not good enough to win. Have to try something else. He is a 6th year senior, and still makes freshman decisions and throws

Missouri lined up 2 players directly behind the OL - how Banks didnt see that, shows he isnt able to adjust
