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

[JCHateSteve]

dosnt matter

It's certainly easier to tolerate when your winning. Still a long way to go though

 

[Vol865]

J. Wright averaging 1.5 YPC. We need him to play better

That's up to the OL to move people

 

[SFBayVol]

 

[DougVol]

Need to stay aggressive on both offense and defense.

Yep. Play to win. Put a 265 lb man under center on 4th and 1/2

 

[TexasVolfan1]

While I thought CH screwed up going for it ….. I do like his confidence and swagger.

Liked going for it didn’t like the play call. Get Milton under center

 

[Caz]

This opening drive is the game for Bama. They're gonna pull out all the props. If we can get a stop on this first drive it will go a long way towards winning this game.

Definitely key for our D to come out and play with high intensity

 

[BigOrangeD]

3 sacks
1 int
1 fumble recovery
175 passing yds, 2 TDs
100 yards rushing
20-7 at the half in Tuscaloosa.
GBO!!!!

Thanks for those Stats. Looking good so far.

 

[OrangeTsar]

He definitely didn’t play good against Florida but this w would make up for it in my books!!

Joe keeps this up and he will get the biggest road win since Ice Man at the Swamp. Would be in elite company

 

[AdoptedVOL]

I am, at work technically, but I'm keeping up! It'd be so sweet to hold on and win this!

I don't like "hold on".

VOLS are absolutely dominating in stats. I think it gets ugly for Bama 2nd half. POUR ON MORE STEAM BOYS!

 

[ptcarter]

Saban outcoached. Saban should have taken a knee. One lineman out and qb limping. What a waste of 12 seconds for them

 

[Bryan1]

While I thought CH screwed up going for it ….. I do like his confidence and swagger.

I didn't like it too much at the time, luckily it turned out ok.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Agree 100%

 

[lifeisdeep]

Alabama finished the half with 0 penalties. Lmao.

Yeah, nothing corrupt at all about that.

You’d be proud of your Vols if you could’ve watched the first half. They are playing some good football. Milton playing well and playing hard. Defense playing tough and looking pretty good. Several receivers made big time plays, Squirrel with a TD and I think Keaton with a big 50/50 ball. Looking good, I’m more worried about playing in Neyland on Nov. 18th than I was 2 hours ago.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Anyone thought this would be the score at the half? Crickets.....

Ope and that’s what’s killing me with some of the posters in this thread. Bama is a 8.5 pt favorite. We’re winning by 2 td’s and have held them to 7 at the half. Milton is playing great and our defense it lights out! Why people just can’t be happy, I don’t get it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

0 penalties for Alabama in that half?? Man they play such disciplined football! They must be one of the most disciplined teams in the….oh, wait, what? You’re telling me they are 97th in penalty yards??? They are undisciplined? WEIRD!!!

 

[cardvolfan]

POUR ON MORE STEAM!

 

[CincinnatiVols]

Joe keeps this up and he will get the biggest road win since Ice Man at the Swamp. Would be in elite company

What a turn of events that would be

 

[DaddyChad]

Joe Milton III HAS THE NUTS

No wonder squirrel is his go to guy.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Which is dirty as hell. Which is why I feel nothing for the adults that choose to play at Bama for a clear cheater.

You would have thought Auburn would have taught Nick something

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Does Alabama still have a band? They showed the Pride multiple times and never the gump band.

 

[JCHateSteve]

This is a concern. Do the refs stop letting the young men play and begin calling every thing possible?

I don't care what they do as long as they call it the same way for both teams. Right now they aren't.

Lol dude I said something out loud about this lady!

 

[Go47]

Continue to play good defense / don’t turn it over / find a way to put 10 more points on the board this half . . . And celebrate with a victory cigar.

 

[Flipdaddy]

If we pull this off, hype gets 1 million raise and the staff gets a 500k bonus. Where do I send the check?
