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

[ENGRVOL]

We make a ton of mistakes, special teams has been a disaster, and we had a receiver drop a touchdown and we still have 21 points. Know it is Virginia but we are running the ball at will without our starting center against a solid d-line.

 

[VolKnight9]

Was that a different team that we saw practicing and playing a spring game? This UVA team is literally as good as UT’s second string, at best. The only unit that is playing at an SEC caliber is the defense. Unless those other units are having a terribly off game, we’ll lose to UGA and Bama by two scores and likely lose another 2-3 games in conference.

If you think a spring game compares to playing a game against a power 5 opponent, you haven’t a clue about college football.

 

[UTfan94]

Offense is gaining confidence. Starting to look good.

 

[37620VOL]

Well, I'm happy with the defense so far

 

[Other_Guy]

He had one bad series. He’s hit WRs multiple times down field and it been dropped or they didn’t get their feet down. Settle down a little.

What? Lol I can say that without saying I'm panicking or he needs benched. It's his 5th year. He should not still have these issues. But he's playing really well now and they've responded really well.

I also don't think he has to play to the level of hooker like many experts said. I think the D will be a strength and the OL is playing great. The backs are incredible.

 

[JohnD13]

Our punter is terrible.

Well I guess the answer is not have to punt much...lol

 

[MississippiVOLS]

Our punter is terrible.

Wonder if we got anymore of those kickers chilling on the couch munching on Cheetos…

 

[Dergibvol]

Trash field. Coconut shells and cork? Really

Grass or nothing IMO. That rubber stuff is nasty

 

[Cartervol]

OU has 431 yds of offense on Butch with 2:33 left in the first half lol

Botch.. Get it right..

 

[TNHopeful505]

Our defense did great. Offense will get it right. Maybe we can get 3 more scores and then put in the backups.

 

[JCHateSteve]

21-3 at halftime. Big attaboy to the defense for that.

 

[Volfan2012]

Much better offensive execution. This could easily be 35 to 3 or worse a lot of bad execution on several possessions in the game.

 

[GhostVol]

Nine plays in a minute and 40 seconds, only using one timeout. This is insane TN football.

FTFY

 

[RAVOL]

Completely Dominant half should easily be 35-3 . Anyway way to finish this half. LOS is looking really good on both sides. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Love seeing this D. Good praise from the head guy

 

[99gator]

You know you've turned the corner when it doesn't look like you're playing all that well (at least offensively) and you're still up 21-3.

Tennessee is going to be really good this year.

 

[Gandalf]

Now maybe Milton can feel a little less pressure in 2nd half and start playing loose

 

[37620VOL]

Our punter is terrible.

No more punting for the rest of the season, it's the only logical solution

 

[UTFanHades]

We make a ton of mistakes, special teams has been a disaster, and we had a receiver drop a touchdown and we still have 21 points. Know it is Virginia but we are running the ball at will without our starting center against a solid d-line.

Do you really think UVA is solid in any aspect of the game? The only thing I can say about this wretched opponent is they’re better than Arkansas St

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Our punter is terrible.

More incentive to score every drive lol

 

[joevol33]

Our punter is terrible.

I think I could kick it better, and I'm short, and have a bad knee

 

[Falcons02]

Feels like it should be 35-0.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Needed that before half, Milton settling down now, defense has done it's job very well

 

[CAVPUT]

I feel good about us settling down at halftime.

Our offense really takes a toll on opponents in the second half. Fatigue will show itself in the 3rd.

 

[Other_Guy]

And he just led us down the field to score before the half. Very rarely does any team come out when playing a power 5 opponent and not have some hiccups. It happens. Virginia isn’t a good football team but they aren’t Ball State or UT Martin either.

And even if he has those bad overthrows every game I still think he can help them win 10 games. He has help everywhere too esp the defense. I don't think he has to be hooker 2.0
