Wonderful game!! It was ugly but what a win.

I truly believe that second quarter of the Bama game when we started fighting back was the turning point. I think we are on the way back in a really big way. I have 100% confidence in CBJ and what he's doing.

So, is Butch done toying with the notion that Dobbs might not be the starter at the end of the week?

:lol:

I admit I left the room in anger and disgust, but came back 10 seconds later.

I turned the TV off 3 times but couldn't stay away lol

 

[Sherlock Volmes]

I can't believe I woke up to a win this morning. I know you all will beat me up for this but I turned it off and gave up on my team last night after going down two tds. Needless to say I am happily shocked.

 

[volatil]

HaHahahaha


We won after trailing by 14 with less than 2 minutes.


Spurrier Hahahaha




Laughing as I go to work

Forgot to set my clocks back last night after THE GAME. I woke up about 6:30 (actually 5:30) and decided to get up and catch up on VN since I stayed off of it during the game. Figured out after about 30 minutes that the time had changed.
Dobbs and Hurd looked fantastic last night and the defense played good for the most part unless Cooper was involved in the play. I believe the team came together last night in a big way. They never gave up on either side of the ball no matter how bad things looked. I feel like we can win out if the team continues with this mindset and get to eight wins. The bye week will give them time to rest a little and heal up. Go Vols GBO

 

[KokoBVol]

Crazy game! This O is night/day different with a mobile QB. So excited to see what they can do in the last 3 games. The D really stepped up in OT, but come on Jancek. What has been going on? I really hope they can figure something out. Or the Mizzou and KY games are going to be another high score shootout.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Happy fall back! Still can't believe we pulled that one off last night! Still shocked! Can't wait to go back to Neyland in 3 weeks, and hopefully watch this team get bowl eligible. Hopefully, an extra week of rest will help this defense get their legs back under them.

 

[csprig9]

cant forget about gilliam being in....since his return the oline has been a lot better....having dobbs has helped tremendously, but gotta give props to a 5th year senior walk-on whos playing his ass off on a torn acl....Gilliam, you are the definition of a VFL!!!!!!

Good morning rednecks! How good does it feel to wake up on Sunday after finally taking one to the house on the road? Awesome IMO! Great comeback and win, couldn't be more proud of a UT team.

It won't be long till wins over USC are routine again. Nice to have the thrill. Soon, we will be complaining margin of victories not being large enough, not losses. :hi:

 

[unioncityvol]

Man I had the craziest dream, we were down 14 with 2 min left and came back and won in OT.

1. This team is mentally tough, arguably more than any team we've had in the last decade.
2. The rushing total tonight will be duplicated multiple times with Dobbs under center over the next two years.
3. A mobile QB is the only kind of QB that should run this offense.
4. So so happy for Seniors like AJJ, this is why they came to Tennessee and, for AJJ, why he trusted Jones enough to return for one more year--a real shot at a bowl game.
5. Dat DL do....won the game in OT.
6. Bennett reminds me of Kevin Carter...and a future top 10 pick.
7. Coleman should never be allowed to cover a WR named Cooper ever again, under threat of castration...for him, Martinez, & Jancek.
8. Logic defies Bajakian's play calling in goal line situations.
9. Thank God for speed. Pig's TD isn't one if he's not that fast.
10. Potential game changer for the program? Stay tuned...

 

[volssam]

@Vol_Football: JONES: @dbarnett25 has 14 TFLs, he tied his school-record for sacks by a freshman.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Morning, Gentlemen!

I had this crazy dream last night that UT came back and beat the Gamecocks in OT. Anyone else have the same dream?

 

[unioncityvol]

Look up

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Does anyone remaining on the schedule have wr named Cooper? If no, we go 8-5. Jmo.

I did the same thing. Battered Vol Syndrome.

Nice to wake up to a pleasant Volnation, though...

Very well done. :good!:

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Look up

I assume you're talking to me.

 

[Vols4us]

Was that W cool or what last night?! I was doing my usual moan and groan and watched a couple potential Legends of the Game in action rescuing the team and season. Barnett and Dobbs - wow. Pig - major redemption story. Croom catching the game tying TD and doing exactly what he should, settling into a hole in the coverage making an easy target. Medley as a true freshman kicking a must have game winner in OT. O-line turning it around. Thank you for being an inspiration to all of the team and us, Jacob Gilliam.

 

[jspvol76]

Any chance DY comes back after the bye? I am afraid Lane may be done.

 

[volinexile17]

Anybody hear updates on North and Lane? I heard North was out due to a minor shoulder injury and Lane left the sideline on a cart. Anybody hear anything with a little more detail? Maybe an estimate of how long they'll be out or anything?

Based on how he went down, I think Lane tore his Achilles and is done.

Time for Scott to earn his stripes. Another reason for Rocky Reid to be a Vol - need a power guy, because Hurd will be in the NFL after his junior season.

I agree, but I still like him for a few plays a game out of the backfield. Especially for depth now. After the bye it will be 6 weeks since the injury.
