Sampson took over that game. Props to Milton for playing a pretty good game. Didn't have Thornton being the leading receiver on my bingo card.

I hope the OL is better next season, this year has been difficult to watch at times.

We run for north of 240on average……

 

[Ten_Titans]

Joe had a better game than the stats would suggest IMO. I really wish we would mix it up with play action more. Like a lot more.

I'd love to know the pass/run ratio on 1st and 2nd down. If it isn't 90% run it sure feels like it.

We have a great run game. But having a great play action game should be part of that.

Nice win!

Interesting take...

 

[Paper_Towel]

Y'all remember in '21 Heupel stole a FG before the end of the half and it won the game?

Best decision he made all night was going for that FG and not running another play before halftime.

Death, taxes and sending Kentucky back to the coal mines on Monday

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Crack 'em open

 

[MoCo_Vol]

85% 227 passing yards 1 TD 0 turnovers and 26 rushing yards

Game managed well Joe

Game ball to the RBs though

37 carries 228 yards 6.2 YPC & 2 TDs plus 49 receiving yards & no fumbles

 

[RiseToTheTop]

So no live ball penalties against them right? Or was there atleast 1. If not, it’s two straight weeks. Just BS.

5 OL replaced. 5 Frosh coming in.

Hiyooooooooo, Silver!!!

Wait till basketball season....

 

[gainesvol82]

I love that Heupel is not happy. Not upset but he wants to be better. Good coach...not perfect but not stubborn, learning and runs a dynamic offensive scheme. He and his staff develops players and hit consistently on the kids we recruit because he recruits for our scheme instead of whoever is available with a high rating.

Anyone doubting he is the guy we need is crazy. We lose this and 1-2 other games this year with any of our previous coaches going all the way back to Fulmer post 2003.

 

[Jackcrevol]

scores of interest.

Colorado - 9
UCLA - Twenty Onnnneugh

 

[clt_tiger]

9-3. Let’s ride

We won and have two losses you Moran.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

5 penalties over the past 2 games. Help me remember .... were the penalties on KY, all pre-snap tonight?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good win tonight. Beat KY and the officials.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Beat KY like we always do. Y'all are sluts like we use as we want. Congrats on having a bunch of horses to **** though.

 

[JCP201]

Never worried. . We are BOWL ELIGIBLE!! And we won away from home!! Does anyone think that Kentucky "hurt?" player thought he was stopping the clock to help them and he ended up losing the game?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Love beating that egghead Stoops. Pretty sure the player that was “hurt” there at the end was directed to lay down. Stoops didn’t know the clock would start back.

Resilient win. Porous performance by the defense for the most part, but they did get a couple of key stands in the red zone.

Aside from one play where Joe missed a wide open man on a crossing route, I thought he played his best game of the season. He wasn’t asked to do a lot, but he made plays in the run game, extended plays in the passing game. Just executed a very high level.

Our running back trio continues to prove that it is elite. Sampson and Wright were terrific. One other observation: Donte Thornton made some plays tonight. Moving to the outside might be huge for him going forward.

Looking ahead, that Missouri game is scary with the weapons they have at wide receiver and with how vulnerable our secondary looks. Leary has been lousy all season (and will likely revert to his lousy form the rest of the way), but we made him look like a star. For now, though, let’s enjoy another win over the Mildcats.

Sampson took over that game. Props to Milton for playing a pretty good game. Didn't have Thornton being the leading receiver on my bingo card.

Passing game has improved last two games a lot. Joe getting healthier definitely helped and guys are catching the ball now. Really happy to see Thorton play well. He made some key plays. Worried about the oline though. Offense couldn’t do anything when John Campbell went out. One injury on the oline impacts us way too much. Hopefully they can stay healthy the rest of the year.

 

[Volunteer821]

Gutsy win. Previous teams would have folded but we know how to win under Heupel. Still worried about banks and Martinez but we earned this one. Our rb room is unreal, what a stable of backs we have.

Nary a holding call. But nothing is up here. It's completely legit.

Milton was better than I thought.
Still pissed TN WR can't get a PI or D line can't get a holding call.

Asking the same, was there a live game penalty called on KY?

If not it would be two full games without a single live game penalty called on our opponents. If that is the case I wonder what the statistics say about that actually happening?
