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

[C-south]

Nico is just gonna miss throws, but FFS can the veterans on the OL and in the WR group make some fkn plays? It's getting ridiculous

Like block long enough for him to miss wide open guys?

 

[RockyTop140]

Our OL actually looks solid. Nico is missing guys. He has got to settle down and not let the misses get to him. There will be more open guys tonight. Hit them.

 

[barney]

pass blocking has been lightyears better today. run block has been not so good.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

No excuse for that throw by Nico. Wide open and had time to throw

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

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

Yup. That’s all on Nico at this point.

 

[farmdogvol]

So far same ole same ole. Good opening drive, then fumble. Now Nico sucking and WR dropping balls.

 

[rumaso11]

Nico makes a good pass, dropped. Nico see's a wide open touchdown running down the field, complete miss.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Where’s Sampson?

Seems like heupel sits the RBs if they screw up but continues playing the same receivers

 

[Dergibvol]

Milton 2.0

He worse than Joe right now.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Nico can't run this offense.

 

[volbound1700]

Milton 2.0

Milton was a lot better than this.

 

[fossilfiction]

Sampson and Bishop in the backfield, run the triple option. It's going to get yards. The defense will hold.

 

[therealitytheory]

If the fg had been 3 yards to the left, Heupel wouldn't be such an idiot I guess.

Some of you people are strange.

 

[orangerush]

Defense can only do so much.

 

[TikiVol]

Reminds me of the JG days.

 

[MeanOrange]

Stupid call from JH. Punt the ball and get Bama backed up.

 

[Zues1]

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

Also three slants, two misses

 

[butler5]

53 yard field goal …. Needed 3 yards, don’t get it they get the ball in the same spot …. And now Kicker has that miss in his head!!!
Come on……Nico 2 TDs over thrown

 

[tntornadox]

For who? There is no one better behind him.

Every other backup QB that is put in against us becomes a star. Who knows what would happen?

 

[patrick]

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

Generally the oline has been garbage when it mattered. And yes Nico has not been sharp at all.

 

[rocketskates]

Tell me how Nico is different from JG?

Line has helped him today. He looks AWFUL.

Yep. I’ve been one of his biggest defenders but he’s easily had 3+ seconds on most drop backs today.

 

[Vol865]

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

Brazzel just dropped one. Squirrel dropped another. Yeah he missed to shot plays. They're called shot plays for a reason. WRs aren't making routine catches.

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

I certainly feel great about that “talent tax” that Danny White was talking about…

 

[Volsfannn]

For bama or ut honestly

Ut.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Just a matter of time before Bama scores then Vols in big trouble.
