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

[Boston Vol]

Brian Jones just summed it up rather well on the CBS post game show

 

[BruiserVol]

I hope AD White puts some pressure on CJH to make some coaching changes. This defense is such a liability and before someone says it ... yes the offense is a mess too but I know that CJH can get the offense rolling again with the right QB. This year will be the outlier IMO. GBO!!!

Idk about that. Starting to think CJH was not play calling last year and this year his play caller is gone.

 

[turbovol]

This game was much like last year's SC game--except we only gave up 36 and not 50. But the same in the sense that the defense was laughably bad and got run over--and the offense was terrible, too, and did nothing to help the defense.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We just got whipped today. Total team loss from staff to players. We have to be more disciplined, today we just looked sluggish and like the slower more indecisive team. We got beat in every phase. Our kicking was good that is about the best thing I have to say about today. We are going to have to play with a lot more fire,passion and smarts than what we played with today. Disappointing loss, but I expect our players and staff to bounce back. If we can’t get up to play Georgia we don’t have a pulse. We have nothing to lose so I would expect us to leave nothing on the table next week. GBO

 

[Other_Guy]

Not really. Different expectations for a new starting QB versus a, you know, sixth year senior

So you're actually lowering your expectations for Nico? So do they even make a bowl next year?

 

[Carl Pickens]

LB play today was putrid

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Not trolling but what do you like about watching him. He's made some plays but it's felt like the offense has had one hand behind its back all year.

No worries whatsoever.

Frankly, I dial back my comments in a public forum regarding Milton. No need to crap on the guy online and my language is a LOT saltier. A LOT.

The handle I use is due to a enjoying irony and losing my password and it being easier do to a new name than trying to find the PW for JonGrundensAgent.

22 years of watching this program fumble around and I just don't take it as serious as I used to. I like joking around on these game threads.

Heupel trying that FG at the end was kind of pitiful to be honest.

 

[Vol1956]

Why should the fans show up for the Georgia game and lay it all out to cheer if the team and coaches don’t get up for this game. Because when you see something not working then you change. But we sick to the same old stuff.

 

[vavolfan6]

He will be fired after next year would have been this year if they didn’t have the season they are

That looked like the way it was heading before this season. But with the season Mizzou is having amd with the little talent they have to work with, there is a higher chance he gets poached by another team that can pay him more.

 

[DaddyChad]

Whatever dude. You would have argued about it no matter what got said. I really didn’t even realize it was you I quoted.

Cool. So the last two OCs were responsible for Heupel’s success? That’s what you’re going with? Heupel’s system but he has no idea how to call plays right?

 

[Okie]

Missouri is having their once in a decade up year. Vols are a good, but not great team this year. Very disappointing result today, but I would still take this season over anything prior to the seasons running up to JH hire.

I think 2 years from now will show a better and great team. Next year to continue growing young players and then on to championships.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Then he should do something about it. If he doesn’t like losing, try hiring some better coaches and remember this is a business and not a church camp.

Lol…

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Heupel will be fired in two years

Oh please just stop

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

With no run game....

Sure. Maybe if it was a close loss, I’d agree with you, but there’s very little excuse for only putting up 7 (lucky) points.

 

[onthehill71]

It wasn’t weak. Cook was running his mouth all day long. Simmons had enough.

Maybe if he had stopped them he would not be so frustrated.

 

[Butch s]

Nico should have played the last 2 series.

remember. He might get hurt. No way he EVER gets to play

 

[GameTime]

We deserve this butt whipping.

 

[AustinMem]

Fire Hazle now. While Milton did not look great in the 2nd half, he wasn't terrible, at least statistically. Poor play calling caused a disjointed offense that then led to Milton falling apart. Good OCs play to their QB strengths and have a good flow to the playcalling.

 

[vol94]

It's not like we're stacked at the QB position. He looks like a bean pole from high school. You don't think he needs some time to put on weight?

Nico is a broomstick. I thought he tore something when he fell down awkwardly last week against UCONN. He needs to put on weight and UGA’s front 7 would eat him alive.

 

[tellicoflash]

how many games would we win scoring 7 pts per week? Not many, so I'd say less than average.

It took an amazing catch to get the 7.

 

[molsen81]

Heupal is now officially TCHFCFUTK
The Current Head Football Coach For The University of Tennessee Knoxville

 

[Carl Pickens]

Did you not see the last play of the game?????

He barely touched the guy. Don’t act like he body slammed him.
