The Official #19 Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

so are you hoping Vols play like that against UGA in about a month?

If it wins us the game yes.

 

[C-south]

TN can easily say that special teams, the defense, and the running game all went well.
Right??????????
Or am I missing something? Maybe.....because I have had a number of beers.

Alcohol isn’t an excuse for your intellectual “shortcomings “.

 

[Orange931]

Milton is good for about 5 great plays per game. He gives you a glimmer of hope and here comes a train of terrible decisions/bad plays. It happens every week.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Bama will key on the run...so u want Milton's dumb ass to be the deciding factor?

A&M keyed on the run game too. Milroe ain't special either.

 

[BradstarVols]

Or Mizzou and Kentucky

Mizzou or KY doesn't have the defensive talent T A&M has. TN will run all over them.

Also it might be the only way we can win that game.

 

[volfanhill]

This is 100% correct. It’s also correct that this team has no chance vs Bama or UGA playing like they did today.

Well we didn't play them today....so

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Blame Milton if you want….I’m blaming stupid penalties

Flag happy zebras

 

[Okie]

A lot of work still to do, but getting the win at home is critical. Good job Vols.

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

Kick my damn field goals when I have a chance. Coach left points on the field today, and it's on him. This should have been a double digit win

You are hard to please. Try the ACC.

 

[BowlBrother85]

It wasn't pretty ... but it's a W ... can we be happy about it? Sheesh.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Well that took 5yrs off my life Our defense is legit. Go Vols!

2nd to last play, 3 guys were holding 27 and it didn't get called!

 

[Jpcisco]

James Pearce might be one of the best defensive players in the country. Unreal he is only a sophomore.

 

[Nkyvolfan]

Well you did say this game.
But yes I’ll take that effort in those 3 phases!

 

[Volinnooga]

I think this was Milton’s worst game but the WRs didn’t help much. ( And neither did the ref’s missing sone clear PI).
I also think it was CJH worst game. We needed to get points whenever we could. Should have 2 more field goals. But a good hard nosed win.

 

[volfanhill]

I'm hoping our D plays that way, our special teams play that way, and our running game works that way. You made a epically stupid comment about nothing going right. Own it. Move on. Passing game sucked. Everyone understands that

 

[Zues1]

Apparently they had x amount of flags to throw. Not necessarily when they should have been thrown

Flag happy zebras

 

[temptn]

And he wins every week.

 

[UTFanHades]

Well we didn't play them today....so

In 7 days we will. The team better forget this sloppy win when the alarm clock beeps tomorrow morning. Jimbo won’t be across that sideline to give away the win.

 

[TikiVol]

Mizzou or KY doesn't have the defensive talent T A&M has. TN will run all over them.

They both are scoring lots of points. Against good teams too. We’re gonna need a pass game to keep the run game going. 1 TD won’t get it done.

 

[MeanOrange]

All you experts out there, tell me what you would do with this offense? Milton isn't Hooker. Nico isn't Milton or Hooker. Give this staff some credit for creating the best rushing attack in the SEC. When's the last time we did that? This ain't our year but it is still going to be fun. Get on board.

I get what you are saying but what are we going to do If we start seeing 7 or 8 man fronts? It's coming and can Joe move this team passing? Right now that looks very iffy.

 

[mudhen]

Man, this sh## is bad for my heart.

 

[Drewbydoo]

For us:

Special Teams

The Defense

Running Game


So 2/3 of the units and 1/2 the offense

We're barely a mid pack team in the SEC East. Vos are 4th out of 7 in the SEC East, which is pretty nice, but not good and not going anywhere with a qb that panics under pressure and vols defense will crumble against the teams above them, Milton doesn't run or throw particularly well. He's good at handing the ball off today. I honestly thought Milton played better a few weeks ago.

 

[Orange931]

And he wins every week.

Does he? Or is it our defense and run game?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Some of yall acting like Alabama and Georgia are invincible lol. They haven’t looked good neither at more times than not. Yall need to get off their jocks.
