The Official #13 Tennessee @ #14 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[Vols All Day]

Heupel has got to do some soul searching regarding this defense in the off season.

These guys lay down way too easy.

His offense isn’t doing nothing either.

 

[Other_Guy]

Yes, I realize that Milton has not sucked today as you say but I also know that Milton has not been the game changer that Hendon was or that Milrose is. Do you want a Milton type player next year and after?

I want year 3 to not be trash performances from the rest of the units in big games having to still use the previous coaches talent to reach 8-4.

 

[GameTime]

WE need to run up the middle....

 

[wmcovol]

We look so bad. Collectively. All phases. And I’m not sure our defense is the worst part.

Easily worst offensive game under Heupel.

 

[84Volfan]

Bobby Hill chewing on his big red like a doofus. Trash

 

[DarkVolder]

Next season could be worse guys

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Without a Georgia win, the ceiling now is what... Music City?

Sounds about right to me.

Might luck up into a Gator Bowl.

 

[HighRockvol]

This team isn’t hungry to win. Happy with 7 or 8 wins.

What would you expect a team led by a scared qb

 

[BleedOrange81]

Banks was a mistake from day 1…

 

[vol94]

If I can be unrealistic for a moment? I think we’re coming back and winning this game.

Blue font. Or trolling?

 

[Bryan1]

Ballgame! I'm out, time to turn this ******** off.

 

[I4Vols]

Bye bye recruiting

No, there are plenty of opportunities to play early

 

[cgrish]

Joe has thrown the ball well and played a good game. Why start Nico?

Offensive play calling at this point is the problem. Joe is throwing well enough to win. When any decent team comes in to stop the run, and you continue trying to run and its not effective, it's time to pass and set up the run.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Mizzou come in with a game plan to stop the run no matter what. Even when they loaded the box, we still tried to run it. Heupel was out coached this game. When Wright was struggling you still keep
Putting him in. You get your a$$ whooped entire first half but yet don’t change anything. Time for basketball seaosn

 

[BradstarVols]

Okay. Thanks for letting us know.

No problem

 

[Drewbydoo]

BS. We are sucking.

oops. I meant to say Aren't. because they aren't the problem. The problem is scoring 7 points in the past 2.5 hours.

 

[DaddyChad]

When are they going to get Herring off the field.

Honestly this is the biggest issue I have with the coaches today. There’s no way he should be on the field. Not sure if he’s injured or if he’s just this slow normally.

 

[CPVOL]

Herring was held.

Wouldn’t matter. The runner could be on roller skates and Herring still wiffs. He’s awful

 

[hardyemt_p]

Is there a mercy rule?

 

[Gannon Goodson]

I'd fire Tim Banks and start Nico the rest of the year.. They're losing next week and the 3rd string guy could probably beat Vandy..

Ehhh... might not be a bad idea at this point. I'm usually not a "throw him out there and see what he can do" kind of guy, but we're not playing for the East (kind of a long shot anyway) or a NY6 bowl. At this point it's 8-4 and the Gator or Citrus Bowl, so we might as well.

 

[BP4Prez]

Yes, I realize that Milton has not sucked today as you say but I also know that Milton has not been the game changer that Hendon was or that Milrose is. Do you want a Milton type player next year and after?

News flash. You aren’t getting a hooker every year. We haven’t seen that level in 30 years

 

[BJWeeks]

Got beat cause our guys don't care. Can't wait for Milton to be gone. He is a showboat and not a leader

 

[VOL RN]

This L is well deserved.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Drink ran the same type play (hiding Burden behind the line) that Heupel did to them last year with Hyatt. Hyatt ran deep while Burden just ran to the open flat.

That’s the 2nd or third time they’ve run it.

 

[Cartervol]

Heupel has got to do some soul searching regarding this defense in the off season.

Banks seems passive. His defense is very passive..
