The Official #15 Tennessee vs. Chattanooga Game Thread, 12:45 PM ET, SEC Network

It’s easy to lose in the Nico hype but did anyone else see that stat that we’ve led college football in tackles for loss since Banks has been here?

I like his philosophy of attacking. Just need the backend to buy some time

 

[Volfan2012]

Vols 52
Mocs 3
Nico 243

Got 45 in first half, Nico with 314 yards already, and I don't know if UTC can get close enough for that FG.

Yep, I misunderestimated this team. GBO!!!

Nobody I believe expected this. I thought UTC was supposed to be one of the best teams in their conference. I thought we could score 50 on them, but not in a half.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Good first half. Lost focus the last couple of drives. Going to have to get revved back up during halftime. 2nd stringers will get time to shine.

 

[ttocswob]

That terrible chop block call ruined that. Weak BS lol

Pat Ryan agrees. Not your typical chop block, LOL.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

493 yards of total offense in a half is absolutely insane, regardless of opponent.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

To everyone who sat on here week after week last year and defended Bozooka Joe, now you get to see what we had sitting on the bench all last year.

My client appreciates your continued support.

 

[Wezcoast]

Heat's just getting to them . Up big like that , it's probably a slog .

 

[Pride85]

Weird last 2 drives

I think Nico's arm is getting tired. Lots of airtime this half. I mean 300+ yards in the first half would wear out a lot of QBs......even the armchair type with "College Football 25".

 

[Padi7777]

You know it's almost time when you see the game thread!

Time for everyone who defended Overthrow Joe all last year to see what we had sitting on the bench all year.

 

[VolForLife83]

The Cellar is gone now. Sold it for new development. Very sad.

Dang. That was my spot to go before games when I came up to Knoxville.

 

[Volfan2012]

Weird last 2 drives

The offensive line not as good those last two drives.

 

[joevol33]

Was that a disappointed "Oh well"? It has been an absolute domination for the entire first half. The positive with the last drive....they now have film for how NOT to run the 2 minute drill.

Yeah, I wanted 50 by halftime

 

[joevol33]

Look at these halftime numbers

 

[chuckiepoo]

If that’s it for Nico, I nailed the tie breaker at 314 yds. Now to get this final score right…

 

[Beauknowsfootball]

Where is Pearce? Haven’t heard his name called all day.

 

[Vfl2407]

Nico seemed out of sorts on last two drives. Saw him shaking his left hand once hopefully it’s nothing

 

[pimo1]

The box score is gonna be cluttered as heck.. We have already completed passes to 10 people and had 5 attempt rushes...

 

[vavolfan6]

Operationally, UTC looks like a well coached team. They simply just don't stack up to us and ran into a buzz saw.

Other teams have been using the excuse of it being game 1 to explain their mistakes away. But with Tennessee playing the way they are, they already look like a well oiled machine.

Think I said 55-10 Nico for 297

Bright side is, he got to rest it all last year while Bazooka Joe overthrew people and talked trash after

 

[KoachKrab127]

Time for everyone who defended Overthrow Joe all last year to see what we had sitting on the bench all year.

The offense definitely already looks more in sync than it ever did at any point last year. I hope he’s this good against top 25 caliber opponents.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

He is really awful.

5 star bust

Hopefully you have at least in the 60's even if Nico sits most of the next half.

They have an obvious plan of getting the ball out of the qbs hands quick, I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of sacks
