Shout out to Gaston Moore...

[Carl Pickens]

And Moore tried to hit the long ball instead of taking what the defense gave him. That was frustrating.

I couldn’t believe how wide open he was. I was at the game and didn’t get to see a replay, but he must have locked on receiver

Not sure Nico is way better. Moore did exactly what he's done

If Nico is not 100% healthy I had rather go with Moore

Many older Vols remember Daryl Dickey coming in for Tony Robinson at qb and with a terrific defense - the Vols won the SEC and Sugar Bowl. Well Gaston Moore just sealed a big win last week and who knows if like Daryl his years of soaking up the playbook and as a practice player pay off if he gets his chance. I thought Gaston was impressive vs. Mississippi State.

This is exactly the comparison that came to mind for me last night when Moore filled in serviceably for Iamaleava.

Agreed, but Heupel’s offense is predicated on the long ball in the passing game. Moore knows Heupel’s offense like the back of his hand, so it’s not surprising he lets it fly.

 

[Dirtyhairies]

Did he do anything worse than Nico? Honest question

Yep but thats fine. He still looked really good.

 

[Dirtyhairies]

Yes, all well and good. But where's the jacksnapper that mocked me for daring to say if Nico faltered, the Gas man could step right in and handle things?

I hate that i have been waiting for you to come collect your spoils

I think he took too many deep shots on his passes. A couple of them yielded DPI’s, but there were some intermediate throws open that were missed. Overall good job to get us the win.

I the long routes are open too why not throw long? He was on target.

 

[Dirtyhairies]

Gaston ,good job sir.Agree he could lead this team and we win played smart,as for no runs,ive seen the guy burn it around corner before.Nico not an elite runner either.

No neither are elite runners but lets be honest, Nico is much much more athletic. Gaston isnt a statue either though. Im happy to have both.

QB controversy?



I kid!!!

 

[DaddyChad]

Very impressed by him. I was really disappointed with his performance in the Bama game, but he was exceptional tonight. I thought we could be in some real trouble when Nico went down, but Gaston really righted the ship and managed the game well.

He came in cold, in the biggest game of the season. Rough spot to throw a bomb right out the gate.

 

[LittleVol]

For coming in, showing poise, and keeping the ship steady! You did everything a backup QB is supposed to do! I raise my glass to you!

(Pounds the table)

Indeed!
