The Official #11 Tennessee vs. #7 Alabama Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ABC

[EastTNVol6240]

So far this game the receivers have burned Bama’s corners three times and been overthrown. They aren’t the issue today.

2 easy drops already also. Like I said all trash

 

[VOL RN]

I’m no coach but… Fundamentals are lacking

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Missed td, and then get conservative on 4th down and try a high risk field goal. I get trying to get points but at some point we need to be more assertive and go for some of these sort 4th down especially in that spot

Offense is an absolute mess. Overthrows, drops, penalties. It’s painful to watch.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

We've had 3 dropped passes, a fumble, and a holding call but yeah it's all Nico

We don’t have 3 drops but we do have 2 wide open receivers for TDs that Nico overthrew.

 

[TartanTurff]

Garbage offense, the Nico experiment isn't working not sure how Heupel got the program into this mess with quarterbacks that cannot manage the speed and precision required of an SEC offense, I'd sit Nico to let him see the speed from the sidelines

 

[spacificislander]

Our passing game is broken. Overthrows and drops galore.

It is really bad to watch. Trying to stay positive but the passing game is so bad. We should have had 2 TDs already. He’s not giving his guys a chance on deep balls. Were his high school receivers all 4.2 guys? So many overthrows again this year.

 

[Doctrippin]

when he's on target they drop it. We are lucky Milrose sucks

 

[whodeycin85]

How many drops is that now 2..squirrel and brazzell 2 experienced players

 

[djohnnyg]

Damn overthrown. Can Nico hit ONE dang deep ball?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I just don’t get it.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

This offense

I feel like it was a mistake letting Nico learn under Joe….

Has nothing to do with Joe

 

[brubaker]

We are ok. We will get another turnover, but yeah Nico is a joke at this point !

 

[Vol1956]

We can’t keep giving Bama opportunities to score before we do I think if we can score first that will put a lot of pressure on Bama.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Need to get the run game going. Nico has to keep some that they “fake” or it’s useless

 

[The Original Fade]

I’m not putting anything on Heupel - he called 2 plays that were automatic TDs and Nico overthrew them both. Million dollar QB should be able to connect those

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Gotta score points against this Bama team. No matter how they’ve played the last few weeks they’re explosive.

 

[Other_Guy]

Were playing stupid going for a field goal from that distance. Nico reminds of Joe with them throws.

Multiple games Heupel has gone short o 3rd and long and not go for it. What's the point of that play if you're just kicking it?

 

[Z06Vol]

Pass protection has been better.

 

[RockytopJYB]

Does Heupel even practice offense during the week? Goodness they are sloppy.

My wife muses the same thing…. “Do they ever practice?!?!”

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Oline getting whipped. Soft soft soft.

Oline did not over throw 2 TD passes. They gave him enough time to throw it.

 

[djwes]

I’m sorry Nico just isn’t good. Missing wide open guys at home ?

Then when he makes the throw, other than Bru the receivers are soft and drop the ball.

 

[Vol8188]

Horrible blocking on run plays. Missed a field goal.

The offense is trash. Works great against also ran teams but not against SEC.

Overthrow Nico.

Lmfao our first drive was going to end and points but the RB fumbled.

Second drive we missed a TD down the sideline.

Last drive we missed a problem a TD to squirrel.

Yeah…clearly the problem is just that this scheme doesn’t work against SEC…
