The Official #17 Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech Game Thread, 8:00 pm ET (9/10/16), ABC

[ETV]

3 of 10 on 3rd down. Ugly.

 

[Vols4life]

Oh no and jumper is in

 

[Dudleys87]

Butch isn't going Butch.

Either Tennessee gets the ball in the other team's redzone or one of the athletes makes a great individual play.

There is no methodical march down the field. There is no occasion where one play sets up the other, etc.

The offense is what it is.

Terrible?

 

[djohnnyg]

Playing not to lose....again.

 

[orangerush]

We look flat.

 

[BJWeeks]

And Kirkland done for year crap

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Smith should have had that one

There's just no reason not to catch that ball at this stage in his career.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Good answer

 

[dduncan4163]

Oh damn Kirkland is hurt

 

[zidanefan]

Jumper? Bynum? Nick Reveiz?

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Kirkland down

Hopefully not a broke ankle.

 

[FlVols]

Finally Shy Tuttle comes through. Good stop D.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

We need the dagger now!!!

 

[Wylo]

Dude, really?

Florida will destroy this team if changes aren't made. Tennessee can't pass and cannot block for the pass.

 

[CAVPUT]

Devastating injury if serious. Geez. The one position we could least afford an injury at.

 

[VOLFan65]

Shy is a beast.

 

[dduncan4163]

King TUT is BACK

 

[VOLdo Raine]

D-line stepping up.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

And Kirkland done for year crap

Wtf?

 

[vader]

Great job D!!

 

[Vol Kilmer]

GET JOSH SMITH OUT OF THE GAME!!! He has missed blocks and dropped passes all game long!!!

Damned straight

 

[lilesrt]

He's not aggressive in his routes. And he continues to get flagged.
- false start
- hold

First game jitters maybe....

How is a guy his size not good?

 

[checkerboards09]

So glad to have Tuttle back. What a beast.

 

[rocktopper16]

Anyone else notice how much sand is actually being kicked up? Good explanation for the poor footing.

 

[Dudleys87]

Have to be happy with the production from Tuttle
