Great game by the Vols, especially the defense. Banks gets a reprieve for one week.

I’m assuming that you’ve told him that?!? I bet he’s relieved!!

Yes, he's relieved but knows he's on a short leash.

Defense Defense Defense!

Hell of a game by those boys. Crushed em.

We are a QB away from being a playoff team. Milton just isn’t it.

This rushing attack is unreal. We have some beasts in that room.

Go Vols!!!

Yeah probably haven’t had a full stable like that since the 90s/2000s.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I see you SAS. It’s time for you to come back and post. We have ears and too many mouths in here.

First game I have been able to watch since the first one. Been dealing with friends and family with cancer and heart attacks. Plus trying to get to my granddaughter’s game. When I have gotten on all I managed to read were posts downing players. Not wasting my time with it. Was hoping there would be a few celebrating that defense!! Great running game also.

 

[Blake25p]

I’m shocked A&M let us run the ball, the only times they stacked the box was on short yardage situations and when we got close to the redzone the rest of the time it was a 5 man box. They should’ve made Joe to beat them with his arm.

So did thorton not play tonight?

 

[Dudley Smith]

Maxim game.

General Neyland and King Johnny would have been proud of this one.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Beasley is right up there with Pearce. along with Herring (calls the D), Eason, Baron, Hadden and Jeudy-Lally.

We have best DL in country and arguably best Front 7.

I wonder if Pili might be back by Bama. If not, hoping he can be by UK.

 

[Glitch]

Hey there morans and moranettes! It was an ugly game but Special Teams and the Defense picked up Joe's slack! We have a dang run game and we have a dang DL! 5-1 with everything still in front of us! Vamos Vols!

He was in on a series or 2.

This. Wish our WR were.

Waste of a scholly

Hard to tell because he's invisible even when he plays.

Pretty sure he was the target on the int. He's been a bigger no show than anyone. I'll never listen to the VQ guys again outside of recruiting info.

Man it happens literally every year, they hype up a guy or two up every fall camp for them to do nothing during the season.

No that was Keyton on the int

Wasn't just Volquest it was everyone

Hell Thornton was more impactful as a freshman at Oregon. I don't think anyone could have predicted he would be totally irrelevant. Makes zero sense.

 

[loosedog]

Ladies and gents, GBO!! Let’s go!! Love that D.

I’m just here to say that none of our recent coaches win that game. Hype did possibly escape some bad decisions in the first half but man, I love it! Winning despite Milton, who I love as a teammate but his head scratchers and accuracy problems just can’t get it done. Not giving effort on that 3rd down at the sideline sticks was shades of past. Props to hadden. Props to d line. I hope they coach Joe to just go. He needs to just go, no spins, no jukes - he’s much better if he doesn’t run that way. Heck at this point I think the coaches should just lean into the run game with more option mixed in. Interesting without Bru the bubble screen game went away.

Yup. The days of listening to those guys are over for me. I've fallen for it too much. Seems like the only one they really hit on when it came to newcomers was CP.

 

[LaagerVol]

How about Heupels Reggie White?

He reminds me of Reggie with some of his moves. Get the OT off balance and throw him. Pearce speed to power is insane

The int was all Joe but Thornton did brick another off his hands - I can’t remember I think it was the one Castles caught on the deflection. At this point I don’t care if Thornton sees the field.

Yeah. Cain is the only football guy. And he has to interject opinions. Hubbs is always trying to talk ball. Which he isnt a football guy, nor is Lewis, or Price.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Well, I left it on the field, Volnation. I can barely talk. Thinking of having @frank change my screen name to squeaky.

Pearce is a different kind of player than Reggie, but it's already clear to me he's better than Derek Barnett.

I mean people can hardly even get a hand on the dude and he just now reached the point where he can bull rush. He's only going to get physically stronger.

Also Tyler Baron is killing it too.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Come on boys...dig down deep, scrap harder than you've ever scrapped..and find a way to win this freaking game..

You did it Vols!...it was uglier than ...but it was beautiful!
