The Official #14 Tennessee vs. #24 North Carolina State Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

They should be very worried already.

16 points in 4 quarters of play.

Their offensive line is really struggling. Doesn’t bode well for them against us. I see another blowout coming honestly. We’re gonna be a nightmare matchup for them.

The ultimate nightmare is developing for the rest of college football. A Josh Heupel offense paired with a deep and dominant defense.

If Tennessee can continue to lock in on the road like this they can go as far as they want this season.

Playing like that I don’t see anyone coming to Neyland and winning.

Hard to believe how far this program has come since 2021.

It's remarkable what high (football) IQ, work ethic, critical thought process and competency can do in an organization.

Most random place on the internet to be seeing Tenn stuff. Where you at Luis

Complete team W. Really liked how the DB’s are tackling. Those guys don’t mess around they get their guy on the ground. Hope the Tyre West injury isn’t too serious

 

[nomads-11]

Chipped in is a gross understatement

Maybe, maybe not. It is game #2

 

[Vol49er]

Tyre West looks happy enough in this video from post game, FWIW

It was this gane...literally they didn't 'chip' in they forced 3 turnovers including a pick6 and didnt give up a single TD. In fact the only scores came as a result of picks from the offense. Our defense dominated.

 

[The Sheriff]

Dang, did State get a license number on that big rig!

 

[BabyGirlVol]

SIAP do we have status or reports of any injuries ?

 

[firestorm]

A very satisfying result.

The Volunteers bulldozed the Wolf Pack in a game that got worse in the second half.




Those 3 words describe today’s game even though Tennessee was rusty in the first half before they became smooth as an offense that played great.

They game planned him so everyone else is eating. He is still 1st round pick

This. We should get used to seeing this. Every team is going to scheme to limit Pearce. Scouts see this and know what's up.

 

[Vol737]

Nice win for sure. OK in Norman will still be a big test. I know they have issues, but we have to keep improving, go out there and quiet that crowd early. I've never felt more confident in the development and game preparation of this team since the mid 90s into early 2000's. Man, this feels good again. Even the coffee tastes better on the morning after a Tennessee football game.

 

[VaBornVol]

The in game adjustment on Concepcion was one of the best I’ve seen. He had four catches on the first drive, and finished the game with five

Now that you mention it, The Coffee is Tasting Better.
