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

[sechamp2012]

The media is ecstatic about Prime. They are better than I thought they’d be but there is no film on them until after today. Kudos if they handle the 100 F 2bd half & beat TCU IN Texas.

Wright has looked amazing

He is a damn beast. He has a bright future in the NFL if he can keep this up and stay healthy.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I’m starting to think we’re going to be a power run team that leans on the defense. Joe’s not bad but he’s no Hendon. And I’ll be ok with that.

Could be, or it could be simply the first game jitters at a neutral site. We will see by the time we get to Gainesville.

 

[CincinnatiVols]

You guys are misunderstanding me and that's my fault for sounding like I was done with him. He is still improved and tenn can win with him. I don't mind those series if he can come back the way he did just now.
Things were really shaky and they didn't let it get to them. What a response. Glad to see Joe running too.

that is what has stood out to me, the deep balls being too Bru and Keyton while I think the presumed deep threats all offseason were Thorton and Squirrel

 

[vollygirl]

Yep, may be time to take a run over to frat row and find someone lol

Just let him throw it, hell.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Milton's deep ball looks a lot better, but somebody needs to tell him he doesn't need to throw slants 100 mph. Settle the hell down.

 

[ETV]

The difference in team speed, particularly on defense, from 5 years ago is night and day.

I remember watching us against Oregon several years ago and it was embarrassing.

 

[rocketskates]

Geez what cameras are they using for the Michigan game? I just saw the highlights, looked like it was from 1998.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

Possibly. That's why CJH ran it, to set up the pitch out to a 300 Vol in the flat vs Florida.

exactly!

 

[JCHateSteve]

LOL Butch down 45 to zip at the half.

 

[MemphisVol77]

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

Things are setting up nicely for Billy Nappier to land on his feet.

 

[BJWeeks]

We need to work on passing game in 2nd half

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Could be, or it could be simply the first game jitters at a neutral site. We will see by the time we get to Gainesville.

It could but I was thinking before the season even that we might be more power run heavy this year and that’s ok.

 

[barney]

Joe's completion percentage is pretty rough rn but receivers have dropped a lot of catchable passes. Hopefully that gets better as the season goes along.

 

[GhostVol]

I love this.... juke right, juke left

ahhh...... f*** it.

 

[rocketskates]

I remember watching us against Oregon several years ago and it was embarrassing.

Luckily they took pity on us….which in hindsight was almost worse than just creaming us by 70 points. It’s like “alright they’re defenseless, let’s stop kicking their ass boys”.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

LOL Butch down 45 to zip at the half.

Couldn’t happen to a better guy. Much love, Butchie.

 

[VolKnight9]

You said they haven’t taken a snap period. They had nine months to get ready. If you think this UVA team plays on any level close to a power 5 team then you need to watch more football. This team plays worse than upper tier sun belt teams

a live snap meaning against an opponent. It is different. This Virginia team isn’t a good team, but they have a lot to play for today as well.

 

[sechamp2012]

Butch Jones team has held Oklahoma team to 45 points 1st half. Using the 6-3 approach

 

[vollygirl]

I love this.... juke right, juke left

ahhh...... f*** it.

Move kid. Move! Okay.....

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Butch Jones team has held Oklahoma team to 45 points 1st half. Using the 6-3 approach

I wonder what the chart is telling him today

 

[Vaughn946]

Need to throw some shallow routes to build Joes confidence

 

[UTFanHades]

LOL Butch down 45 to zip at the half.

I wonder if he’s still making his players write “I am a p word” multiple times on the whiteboard or if he’s doing that now since this loss is entirely on his fraudulent self

 

[VolKnight9]

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

No he doesn’t. Defense has been lights out. Major improvement from what can be seen so far. Defensive line is ferocious.

 

[Tman44]

The fighting Botch Jones' are getting throttled.

I'm so glad we have emojis now. Thank you Freak!
