'22 Recruiting Forum: Official Pittsburgh Pregame/Game Thread

[Nash_Vol97]

agreed but how many like this have we pissed away the last 10 to 15 yrs. a hell of a lot

Nice to come out on the good side of one for sure.

 

[Gilbert]

Happy to pull that one out and will never not celebrate a win!

Shouldn’t have been that close. Lots to improve upon.

Thanks everyone for putting up with my sometimes irrational reactions on game day. Go Vols!

1st ever win against Pitt. We are now 1-3 all time against Pitt.

 

[headhunter15]

It wasn’t pretty, but it’s a win. Plenty of teams have had crappy games against Tennessee the last decade and came away with a win. It’s Tennessee’s turn.

 

[Dooby15]

We haven’t won many in the past like this one. We have to hope that’s our worse offensive performance this year. Shout out to the defense who I had written off after the first quarter.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I think we win but Pitt covers. Don’t think we break 40 though. 31-27 UT.

This will tell us a lot of our pass rush has improved from last year

Close lol. Our pass rush is a lot better

2003

I retract my statement. That was the last time against a ranked non-conference opponent on the road.

 

[nashvol1]

We beat a ranked team on the road…feel good about that boys!

 

[MarcoVol]

JH shouldn’t be celebrating a damn thing…glad we won though…

Say what now

 

[MoCo_Vol]

OL hurt us a lot today. No rushing attack & bad penalties.

I think we have RBs good enough if the OL improves.

 

[gnm53108]

I am too old for this ****

Lol…think I may be too. Hopefully my liver has a few more miles in it.

 

[zhangliao04]

Shot the Curse of the Backup in the taint. Gotta build on this...quit playing down. We're that much better than our opponent today.

Gonna hit up that smoker and make some deliciousness after this tough win?

 

[engineerVOL]

Well…. Would rather win than lose. I’m exhausted. Lol

 

[Govolsman98]

Blocked punt.
2 fumbles.
Numerous penalties.
3 points in 2nd half.
Burrell.
And we still win against a Top 25 team.

Go Vols!

This win should not be downplayed. So much went against us and we won. Somehow. Too often games like this have resulted in a loss but we won. Against a top 25 team. On the road. This was a beautifully stressful thing to see

 

[drvenner]

We made enough plays to win. We absolutely deserved it. Plenty to work on.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Fixable mistakes today. Defense stepped up and is maturing. The Offensive Line needs some work but they will get on it this week. This was a game we have lost in the past but today we got the first monkey off our back.

OL hurt us a lot today. No rushing attack & bad penalties.

Part of the rushing issues, Pit trusts their corners and had 7 in the box all the time.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

We spotted them 10 points and still won....GBO!

 

[drvenner]

Blocked punt.
2 fumbles.
Numerous penalties.
3 points in 2nd half.
Burrell.
And we still win against a Top 25 team.

Go Vols!

In a tough road environment

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The one thing I love love love about today, this defense is violent. WR, QB, HB all got smoked play after play today.

 

[kemotoe]

A win is a win. Sloppy as hell, but a win. Got a lot to work on.

 

[butchna]

Gonna hit up that smoker and make some deliciousness after this tough win?

Employer wouldn't appreciate it.

 

[Aesius]

That was our first win against a ranked opponent on the road in almost 2 decades.

OOC opponent? We beat UK in Lexington last year and they were ranked

 

[SergeantVol]

OL hurt us a lot today. No rushing attack & bad penalties.

I think we have RBs good enough if the OL improves.

Agreed. The OL let too many defenders in to the backfield untouched. I can understand getting out played due to technique, you can learn from that. But whiffing on blocks is a mental mistake that shouldn’t happen that often.

 

[Volsdeep4]

I’m drunk and we won! Blame them! That’s what I’m telling my wife
