The Official #12/10 Tennessee vs. Virginia Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

[Other_Guy]

But remember we are playing against one of the worst offenses in the nation

Then at least we can feel good about the bloodbath they're giving them.

 

[Vol737]

REALLY important Halzle puts Joe in some good situations on this possession.

 

[VolForLife83]

Dude. Milton has been fine.

He's not the one who dropped a ball a 3rd grader would catch and fumbling the ball.

Get Virginia off the field and absolutely floor the pedal until at least halftime Heupel. No more of this slowdown crap. Put these guys away before they get more confidence.

That dropped ball is the only good pass he's thrown. He's locking on and holding ball too long and just had a horrible series of 3 terrible passes in a row.

At this point , Nico has to be a thought , I know it's first game and butterflies are there but seriously Joe your a Senior!!!

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

These overreactions are killing this thread

 

[UTK]

Stop calling for Nico. Milton only had one bad series

It’s 3 passes in a row that were easy completions. A senior can’t do that crap. Let’s see how he responds

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I get that, but this time isn’t beating Bama, Georgia, and maybe even Florida. It feels again like it would be more of a miracle if it happened. Last year I went into games thinking it would legit be hard for them to stop us.

Give it a minute.

 

[VOLFan65]

Still think we are going to get it together. I’m not giving up on Joe yet. Last year Vs Pitt we didn’t look great. I seem to remember Auburn barely winning their first game when they had Cam Newton (Miss st?). First games happen.

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

He had better get it together if we are going to play teams with good defenses.

He's not rattled. He's doing what he did when he lost his job to Hooker.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I guess yall calling for Nico didn't watch the practice clips that were being posted. He was throwing high and missing guys .
Joe got to get out of his head and stop forcing the issue and just let it come...

 

[NO SIR EEE]

This ain't the fire. That comes in 2 weeks.

I’m not saying it again. Florida ain’t ****. They’ll win maybe 2-3 games this year, all out of conference.

 

[LargeOrange1]

I miss hooker already

Don't tell your wife.....

 

[ButchPlz]

Need to just run Four Verticals every play.

 

[rockytop36]

I’m going we are playing it vanilla lol

 

[Flipdaddy]

Hopefully we’re playing down to our competition

 

[Tarkus]

So far, the defense has played well and that’s about it. Everything else has been sloppy.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Time to watch ABC and listen to Vol Network. Hope they aren’t too far out of synch. We can play better and separate ourselves. Fingers crossed.

 

[rocketskates]

In the second quarter of game 1? Way to show your confidence in your QB, Coach.

Absolutely. Nico is gonna be a great QB…but this would still be his first game at the college level. Don’t expect him to come out and immediately look like a world beater unless it’s against a FCS team.

 

[GhostVol]

Apparently the new turf reduces injury unless you're on the sidelines....

 

[Manchester Vol]

Might be time for you know who

Ahh-Zee!
Ahh-Zee!

“I am Ironman” Nico?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

We are who we thought we were

Yeah, you NEGA's are in mid season form. Jitters should be behind us, and team should be fine. Need 21 on the board at half.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Alright Joe, take a breath, you got this.

 

[ETV]

I agree

Wright and Sampson. Add some small and they'll be worn out soon.

 

[arkyvol]

That so-called punter could cost us the game.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Why is it that it's the tenn punter that is sucking?

Also I thought he supposed to be a weapon for us? Australian kid right?
