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

[Clad in Big Orange]

Hopefully folks now realize we won’t score a TD every possession. That was a huge field goal and a good half with lots of room for improvement.

 

[tbh]

Nice FG by Gilbert. I think we have a kicker, y'all.

 

[25vol]

Weak sauce playing for the 3 vs a TD which would really stress NCSt

Why? Take the points and go up 3 scores instead of not getting anything and being up 2

 

[adam.vol]

I believe Gilbert could have made that from 60 yards out. He crushed it

 

[Vol8188]

Playing for 3 points in the 1st half? Where is the killer instinct?

Playing to go up 3 possessions in a game where you get the ball out of halftime. It’s the right call

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Overall. I'll take it.

We could use some adjustments at the half but so could my back.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Gilbert is becoming a weapon.

Ty for letting me be Wrong lol

Halftime stats:

 

[patrick]

It’s goodaaaa

 

[Shirleyudontmeanthat]

Could have played a lot better , up 17 … Vols by Fiddy

 

[VOL RN]

Beautiful kick

Got some Colquitt in him. Looking good for a freshie

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I’m good with it. We sputtered on offense but we’re still up 20 - 3.

 

[87&91ALUM]

20-3….Half.

 

[ShelbyVol]

Who gets the ball after the half? I missed the first 4 minutes.

We do

 

[tntornadox]

I think we have ourselves a good kicker here!

 

[BigALWiLson]

First half thoughts: meh

passing game is a little off.

Run has been a littler better than average.

Play of the half: Brooks

Player of the half: Samson

Win is a win. I DC how we get them. Make the playoff.

 

[Orange931]

Happy its 20-3, should be 24

Should be 31-3

Our D is dominating a decent offense and our O is a little off but still put up over 200 yards and scored more often than not. I’ll take that.

Ball back after half. I love where we’re at right now.

It's pretty much the blueprint to a rout. 1TD after halftime followed by 1 stop and it's curtains

 

[Creeker]

TD coming out of the half and it’s gonna get really difficult for NC State to challenge unless they find something on offense at the half

 

[Pride85]

Great int but man Brooks is slow as molasses.

So the man that out ran the offense after an interception and scored completely unchallenged is slow. Interesting take.

 

[Freak]

Heupel side-stepped that scholarship question. lol.

 

[chuckb1448]

IL Take it.... Fast Offense in the Second half... Rip this team apart
