Depends who you are.

Our 3rd down efficiency wasn’t anything to brag about. But our defense did a much better job.

 

[utvolmaniac]

Joe sucks.

Keep politics out of here.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

WVU has got to be sick over the final 4 mins of that game.

 

[volinbama256]

WVU got screwed... I wanna throttle Pitt next week...

 

[Orange Studs]

Keep politics out of here.

Good pick up.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Fully enjoying and see major weakness on D that look like last year on repeat.

Good grief. Why are you here?

 

[engineerVOL]

Almost home from the game. Getting there was hell, 5 hours from Nashville, ridiculous. Saw a poor guy slide off the road in his gooseneck trailer trying a detour.

On campus first time in 3 years. The strip was never great but it really leaves a lot to be desired.

Stadium lights are really cool, atmosphere inside is better, well done Danny. The entry was painfully slow, that’s got to speed up. Waaaaay to slow.

Game was fun, defense is fast, not sure how good they are but they are fast and hallelujah we have guys that can catch the ball on defense. Offense took a page out of Randy Sanders playbook and still motored right along. Ball State DL looked like high schoolers compared to our offense.

What can ya say, it was Ball State. Let’s beat the Pitt stains.

you always late to the game? D was better against bowling green last year

 

[engineerVOL]

Joe sucks.

He’s no first-round Mac Jones

 

[Orange.]

is he 51? That made that tackle behind the line?

42

 

[SweetasSoda]

Because weak

Because masochist

 

[Pridedad]

It was at thus point that I felt safe he was back!

 

[Pridedad]

Anybody else at the game have trouble hearing anything from the sound system?

Not sure if it's the new jumbotron or what but the sound was off.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Now see that is what I saw. They seem to keep a lot back for protection.

And when you play zone coverage all the time, you play right into their hands. Gives time for the 3-4 WRs to find the soft spots.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

They also got rid of the ball quick most of the night. Even the “deep shots” were fades that got rid of the ball.

I thought so too, and thought that this coupled with having 6-7 guys to provide protection may be why we couldn’t get to the QB any to provide pressure and get sacks.

 

[rekinhavoc]

They were vanilla on both sides of the ball.

They will open the playbook more next week if necessary.

[TrippieRedd]

Gotta watch this one from home because of stupid Covid, but me and my dad will be there the rest of the games if anyone wants to tailgate this season!

 

[UTSuave’]

I don't think he sent more than 4 at the qb most of the night, so I'm not surprised at the lack of pressure. Agreed on OL, run blocking wasn't amazing.

Hard to tell against a BS opponent, but offense looks as good as last year but not noticeably better. Defense looks better.

Adding to this!…it looks like the game has slowed down a lot for hendon…that’s what I noticed on offense…he looks a lot more comfortable

 

[drvenner]

I said Vols by fiddy.

Math is hard.

 

[SSVol]

He’s no first-round Mac Jones

And he never will be, cause reasons!

Shhhh...don't tell a certain small vol, but QB2 looked dang near as good as QB1.

 

[Jackcrevol]

did Justin Williams play last night ?

Edit: TJ and JWT each had one attempt?

Up by 38 going into the half, we could have found a few more attempts for thosw guys.

Yes. The entry was reminiscent of the Battle at Bristol. As I feared it would be. We ended up picking a different gate and walking up down from upper level to get to our seats.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Idk about y'all, but I'm ready for YTTV to update to the split screen capabilities...can't turn our Vols off, but I want to check Pitt out also...

Simple solution
