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

[barney]

please put mike matthews in the game I am begging you. starting to think Thornton is the only wideout in our starting rotation that has any juice currently. Squirrel is dropping everything and Bru is hurt.

 

[vavolfan6]

Its frustrating, but we gotta keep throwing. Just give pur guys a chance and test their secondary

 

[Go47]

Tell me how Nico is different from JG?

Line has helped him today. He looks AWFUL.

 

[MurphyVol]

So how bad is Gaston Moore? How do we find ourselves in year 4 without even a serviceable backup? Just a game manager would be ok at this point

 

[Kicker82]

This game should/could be 14-0

For bama or ut honestly

 

[volgr]

Saban would have already sit Nico.

For who? There is no one better behind him.

 

[MississippiVOLS]

Do we have any receivers that can catch a pass? Maybe move McCoy from D to O? This is ridiculous.

 

[volbound1700]

Alabama and our defense keep giving our offense chances and Nico can't get it done. He has the talent but he just isn't accurate right now.

 

[Sarms58]

It’s 0-0…we’re good. Gonna be a four quarter war.

 

[VOLinAL]

I mean at what point to you keep putting a guy out there if he can’t hit a throw 15+ yards downfield? Have liked play calling a bit more and their secondary doesn’t seem to be able to cover us but looks as if our defense will be out there all game again. 4 games in a row so far…same look.

 

[njvols]

I’m no coach but… Fundamentals are lacking

Fundamentals and lack of anyone making a play. Everyone making mistakes. No way to win a game

 

[Orange931]

Nico literally looks like Milton. So frustrating

Just like the Pitt game first year under heupel

He did hang around him for a year and said he learned a lot from him. He just learned the bad sh*t to go along with whatever else.

 

[rocketskates]

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

Just wait until Banks takes a HC job at the end of the season.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Receivers are open. 2 TD passes off the board because the ball isn't even close. At least we're taking shots i guess. Gotta think he has to hit something eventually.

 

[SuperVol]

Are y’all crazy? It is zero zero. The play calling looks great. 100% execution.

 

[G0V0LS33]

how do you fix it

 

[JCHateSteve]

Nico can't hit the deep ball and our WRs aren't catching the mid range throws. Ugh.

 

[BradstarVols]

Getting tired of watching Tennessee beat themselves

 

[CPVOL]

Unreal, this is on Nico and I am afraid Heup will stick with him just like he did with Joe.

Nico has overthrown the receiver sure. But 87 being a spectator on drive one then Squirel not being able to catch a cold killed drive 2. That 53 yard attempt is Heupel pissing his pants and forgetting where he’s at for 20 mins. It ain’t just on Nico

 

[Cartervol]

You go for it there. This offense is hot garbage right now.

 

[djohnnyg]

Bench Nico before its too late.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

2022 team would be up 21-0 right now.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Milton 2.0

I would seriously pull him moore couldn't do much worse

 

[VolRage]

Well it’s not play calling. Receivers are open. It’s the dam QB.

Nico is way off but a few of the passes have hit the WR in the hands and they didn’t help by catching it.

 

[BleedOrange81]

Going to be on the defense to score lol
