Gibson going to be a great one

 

[VawlDave]

Ricky Gibson is cookin

 

[kiddiedoc]

No false start on 2nd?

 

[AustinMem]

Gibson and Matthews are lockdown for me in my NCAA 14 dynasty

 

[90 Vol]

I like our backups in the secondary.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Wrong. Because you give the freshman about 2.5 games of experience and he's running circles around the 6th year senior.

Nope

 

[temptn]

Fourth down and no penalty? What?

 

[teeball]

Is coach going to go conservative now?

 

[FlVols]

All of these penalties on our team. That has got to stop.

 

[vol94]

I had to pause the game at the half so now caught up. Nice to see the D step up and score three touchdowns. I’m so happy for the defense and Nico, too.

I’d love to see Nico take a few shots downfield.

This is UCONN. LOL - we'll know with his first start against an SEC top tier defense.

 

[Memphisvol87]

We are the most held holding team

 

[suave410ec]

Holding. Of course.

 

[perico]

Small sample size Butch. Lol. Give it a rest even an amateur like me can see how much better he will be

Nobody is questioning about how much better he will be, but he’s not there yet and his own family wanted him in a situation where he could grow into the role of a leader.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Despite only possessing the ball for 13 minutes .... we have over 500 yards.

 

[AustinMem]

Meh

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Before those of you...and you know who you are...use this game to talk about how great Banks and Martinez are...

UConn came into this game 1-7. Their one win is against a 4-4 Rice team.

Rice. Not UGA, Bama, UF, or even USCe. Rice.

Great win by the Vols today. Great job by the defense. 21 points by the D. Awesome.

Against a 1-7 UConn team. It is what it is.

Go Vols.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Short day for Nico

 

[Memphisvol87]

This is UCONN. LOL - we'll know with his first start against an SEC top tier defense.

Nico is doing great. It’s weird you guys don’t want to admit he looks like the next great Tennessee qb

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The disparity of holding calls against TN vs opponents for the season would be interesting to know.

 

[theroyz71]

Gaston Moore In the game next.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Gaston Moore time!

 

[BigOrangeD]

No more Nico this game. That sucks.

 

[tnvols72]

Lets not let Nico get too many reps

 

[perico]

Oh God not this guy. Play Nico some more
