The Official #17/15 Tennessee vs. #11 Alabama Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[TennesseeTarheel]

These two are in bed with Saban

Gary has a room with a bunkbed in Saban's new house.

 

[901 Orange]

Couldn't ask for a better start. We get a stop to start the half and it's going to start feeling real LSUish

 

[knoxchief]

They are giving the refs a second yellow flag for the second half to be used against VOLS

 

[Zues1]

Just match em score for score

 

[VolArmy74]

I'm not a Joe fan but I'm certainly not a hater. That said, this is Joe's best game of the season IMO and I'm damn happy about it. Now, if only he can play a good 2nd half as well. If so, this might be the turn around game we've all hoped for, where the light comes on for Joe. GBO!!

Why would a Tennessee fan not be a fan of the starting QB at Tennessee?
It's mystifying. He's not perfect but I don't get not being a fan of him.

 

[Volswin98]

Alabama finished the half with 0 penalties. Lmao.

This says everything. I mean everything. Bias bias bias

 

[praxite33]

Only sad thing is that Milroe's career wasn't ended on that sack.

Jesus dude. He's a freaking college kid

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

This is double bull crap on the extra second.... he was pushed back several yards before contacting the boundry and the same official ruled progress and kept the clock running for UT.... blatant favoritism in application of the rule.

 

[TheDeeble]

Bs. You don’t let the clock run down. Go back and rewatch the series. It was horrible clock mgmt.

We didn’t need 42 seconds to run our offense inside the 15. Let some time run down to leave bama with less. It’s intentional.

 

[robcovol]

Play the second half like you’re down by 13.

 

[TomcatVolFan]

This is the best I’ve seen Milton play ever I think. Still a whole half of football to go but I certainly wasn’t expecting this.

Orange Bowl Joe Milton showed up today.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

2nd half is about to get nasty , refs will take over

I'm afraid you're right...
We need to play clean, take the points and we need to eat clock...
Can't give the refs too many chances...they were ridiculous the 1st half

 

[Volfan2012]

Feel like we should be leading by over 20, but glad to be up by 13. If the defense can give us another half like that one were going to win today.

 

[volfanhill]

Called for. You choose to play for a dirty coach, you can have what you deserve.

I'm sure whatever god you pray to approves...

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Let’s finish this! Come out on fire on defense!

 

[Matt2496]

Maybe we’re better than what people think?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Besides, not cashing in another touchdown, that was a dominant half!

We are clearly the better team. This officiating tho. Gotta beat the refs too. Of course.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Missed Calls on Bama in the 1st Half:

PI
Holding on defense
Holding on offense
Unsportsmanlike conduct on Burton

 

[TN1111]

Will there be a single penalty called against Alabama this game?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Pick in end zone was BIG.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

We did this with bad officiating.

1 penalty the entire 1st half?

 

[chuckb1448]

Refs have tried every way they can and we are still on top

 

[orangefloyd]

I usually don’t use profanity but this officiating has done it. My apologies.

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

3 sacks, 1 int, 1 fumble recovered, in one half. Couldn't get much better than that

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Feel like we should be leading by over 20, but glad to be up by 13. If the defense can give us another half like that one we’re going to win today.

We knew we would be fighting the refs too.
