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

Looked really bad at first, but it was good to see him walk off.

He didn't really walk off. He kept one foot off the ground

 

[chattavol420]

Man we just still don't look that great. We've caught a ton of beaks in this game. Disappointing start to the season really. Va tech is not a good team

 

[Forever151]

Florida and Alabama scare the **** out of me . There gonna eat our Oline up

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

We get a TD on this drive we win

Even a fg would put it out of reach IMO.

 

[Zues1]

We don't look good tonight despite the score.

Hmmm

 

[YankeeVol]

We get a TD on this drive we win

That's the problem...

 

[peerless98]

It says you're a "piece of crap" fan...and person.

Exactly?

 

[BJSforVols]

We don't look good tonight despite the score.

Offense - D- (and that's with a curve)
Defense - C+ to B- (B+ after the first Qtr)
ST - C-

 

[GoVolunteers]

Tennessee defense will have something for Florida. They don't have a mobile QB and they are not a spread or read option offense. Shop will plan.

I am holding my breath against Florida. They took care of business today.

 

[Tennesseefan240]

Need to play more aggressive please don't sit on the lead

 

[volinbama256]

Welp, it was fun while it lasted... Butch is now imploding his lead and vanilla play calling has returned to hold the lead... Now that Kirkland is out and jumper in, we lose... period...

 

[dduncan4163]

We're almost home

 

[joevol33]

Come on Tennessee please. Biggest stage in football history, you've made an awesome comeback, now finish this. Don't go to sleep Butch!

If we lose to Florida again then Butch needs to be fired same night. He already should be 3-0 vs them

 

[BJSforVols]

Even a fg would put it out of reach IMO.

No, not yet. VT can score fast if they get some mojo going.

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Looked really bad at first, but it was good to see him walk off.

Did he walk? Thought he limped.

 

[ATLVol92]

defense wins football games, thats been apparent so far because this offense is hard to watch

 

[dduncan4163]

Cmon hell even 3 would almost seal the deal

We don't look good tonight despite the score.

Good news is, despite what one may think of the opponents, is that the defense got better over the course of the game in each of these two first games.

I have some faith in the defense as shaky as it has looked early at times.

This offense.....from the execution to the play calling....

I mean, here's the entirety of the passing game. Five yards or less down the field from the numbers to the sideline and a jump ball 40 yards down the sideline.

A lot of work needs to be done

I agree to a certain extent, but I'll take the win.

 

[advancedrescue27]

D*mnit, carting Kirkland off!

 

[YankeeVol]

Kirkland is being carted off, not good.

 

[joevol33]

Welp, it was fun while it lasted... Butch is now imploding his lead and vanilla play calling has returned to hold the lead... Now that Kirkland is out and jumper in, we lose... period...

Sad man, sad.
