The Official #17 Tennessee vs. UConn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Nice play by a guy I don’t know…

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

This is probably the first time I have ever heard of benching a backup to “protect” him…

It's just not worth it. The drop from Nico to Gaston is huge. We saw Hendon get hurt last year late in the season.

You just don't risk a QB you will need up almost 60 when you have REAL opponents coming unless that QB room is stuffed.

Use some sense. We would get killed against SEC opponents with Gaston.

That's Derek Mason. He knows a little about football.

For sure. I would think a former SEC head coach and DC would know more about targetting than any random guy sitting at home.

 

[Orange931]

What’s the school record for points? Have we ever hit 70?

 

[Wezcoast]

Makes no sense to get your back up hurt in a meaningless game. You dudes will complain about absolutely anything.

Imagine Nico blowing up his knee during scrub time against Uconn and having to start #3 next year. He needs the play time, but I don't blame Heupel for keeping it short.

This is starting to look like a gloried scrimmage.

 

[AustinMem]

Technically should not have caught that… but nice return

 

[ButchPlz]

Dee needs to stop trying to run people over.

... starting?

 

[volmanNC]

UCONN has a great punter! He will play on Sundays!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

If #15, I think. had thrown a block, that could have been a big return..

My biggest complaint is we aren't fake complaining enough!

ie, I'd like to see the whole defense go down with fake injuries until the Refs got the church giggles....

 

[Mccage]

He looked better than Milton.

Your FOS

 

[CR-vol]

Nico looks like he's gonna be fine from what we saw today. Maybe the Vandy game won't be a dogfight and he can get some scrub time in that one too. Did any if you "start Nico now" crowd see that overthrow he made on his second pass? Overthrow rhymes with Nico too. Lol..

 

[AustinMem]

For sure. I would think a former SEC head coach and DC would know more about targetting than any random guy sitting at home.

I mean… he still probably knows more than the officials.

 

[butler5]

Who throws like Gaston

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Targeting not applicable if against a Tennessee opponent. They reminded the officials of that during the "review"

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

UCONN has a great punter! He will play on Sundays!

Probably because he has played the most snaps of anyone on his team.

 

[AustinMem]

Grabbing guys from the frat houses to come play now

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Ethan Davis get any time?

 

[TheVolsFrog]

It's Homecoming in a big blow out. Let the guys who put in work in practice get a little PT.
No issues with the swap outs

I just want us to hang 60 on them LOL

 

[CR-vol]

I need for us to not score on this drive and UConn to kick a field goal on their next one to maybe have a shot at that pick the score $25 Amazon card...

 

[AustinMem]

Ethan Davis get any time?

Still hurt, I think.

Put me in coach! I've still got.....well..... I'll hit 'em with my cane if they get by me.....
