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

I see BVS is starting to rear its ugly head…..

 

[87&91ALUM]

Road wins in the SEC have become hard to get. We can beat anybody and we can fail to show up. Hoping for a special combination equating to a huge win for Vols at home today. GBO VFL!

 

[patrick]

Agree or perhaps Nico actually becomes the Nico people expect and our offense really clicks. I think it may one day happen but when is the question.

In Nico’s defense, the Vols offensive line has been porous.

Rat poison for the Bama vermin.

Agree but he has had time and open WRs versus Florida he missed. I think WRs haven't been playing well either. It is a combination of all 3.

It ain’t BVS when the team is struggling to score and doesn’t have a victory over a good opponent.

Neyland was as loud as it ever was and Florida handled it. I don't expect crowd to have much of an effect....but they'll be loud. Maybe it'll help fire up the defense. I don't know.

It’s a week by week season. We will be fine.

We just don’t have the o line to win this game. And Pili is a huge loss for this game especially.

A month ago some people were saying we had one of the best OLs In the country. Today ppl are saying stuff like this. The truth is somewhere in the middle. We just need them to have a good game.

Let’s hope so

I think the truth has been on display since the second half at Oklahoma.

Whoever that food blister is looks like he’s about one Reese’s Pieces away from his heart blowing up.
He might want to lay off that stogie

Gamecocks hammering Oklahoma.

 

[just bob]

Technically it was 17 pts. The last 7 was in overtime.

Technically it was 6 in overtime, no need for extra point. Sorry, had to. ha

Last 6. No PAT when you score the walk off TD.

Tackles have to step up. And for the OL as a whole, limit pre snap penalties.

Ok you got me. But you are missing the real point.

yeah. That hype train was strong earlier on. Buuuut now…it’s….

 

[TikiVol]

Gamecocks hammering Oklahoma.

Watching that game is a reminder that we have zero quality wins so far. Hopefully, that changes today.

They handled it? They had numerous false start penalties as a result of the crowd noise, and they lost.

Are they going to rush the field lol

 

[Tenacjim]

Ok you got me. But you are missing the real point.

i Get your point (and agree it wasn’t a “23 point half”) just correcting your math.

 

[CPVOL]

I’m not gonna lie, that Morgan Wallen hype video about the 3rd Saturday in Oct hits just right

 

[RDU VOL#14]

This is what I needed to see. They aren’t mentally prepared to win this game! We have the competitive advantage.

Heupel may not have won every game he’s coached vs Bama, but we’ve always been prepared and came out ready to play. We’re going to be ready to go . I think we win
