Sorry but if it's 5-7 on 4th down I'm going for it every time against Tennessee.

 

[VOLdo Raine]

The pace on this board is faster than the pace on the field!

 

[joevol33]

Shoop needs to get our guys to calm down. They adjusted well last week and done good. Get it done Shoop!

 

[LittleCat]

Probably scared he'll get ejected again.

Lol

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Hokies missed the FG on purpose, so Evan Berry wouldn't get a Kickoff opportunity.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Shoop get it together.

Yeah. Shoop totally sucks at tackling

 

[BruiserVol]

First series of the game. LOL. Sorry for you

Tackling is fundamental. And it looks terrible.

 

[jimallvol]

Tackling is really beggining to become a concern

 

[Forever151]

I know I'm supposed to hate them but I think VT has a bright future on offense . I love that Playbook they use

 

[VOLnMiami]

Throw a bomb first play....Do it!

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Chill, they have a very difficult offense to defend against. I wish our offense looked as varied as that.

I guess app st did too

 

[YankeeVol]

No idea why didn't they go for that.

Agreed. Dude wasn't very good from 40+

 

[TnWalker]

Well, I see the relentless pursuit part ...

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Now let's go offense!

 

[advancedrescue27]

Turn Dobbs loose!

Yeah, let him do his thing in restricted. He will either shine or keep the normal going. Either way we can least surprise the defense and perhaps move the ball.

My gut says Debord will call the same plays he's used last year. Hasn't changed yet, don't know why he would now.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Glad they went for the fg. They would have picked up the first easily.

 

[governmentmule]

wohooooo Go Vols

 

[Sin City Vol]

What's the elevation at Bristol? Maybe we will see some sweet punts.

There's not enough difference in Knoxville and Bristol to affect punts or kicks

 

[ETV]

I'm not liking what I'm seeing on the tackling front. They did such a good job with that last year.

Sometimes can be difficult against mobile QB.

 

[joevol33]

Come on Tennessee let's see the offense we saw in our bowl game!

 

[Dudleys87]

Show us something Dobbs!

 

[YankeeVol]

well at least it was a pass...

 

[CountVolcula]

Lets go O

 

[YankeeVol]

3rd and long...

 

[qb19]

Let's get that running game established if possible. Kamara needs to be a threat.
