The Official #21 Tennessee vs. #17 Iowa Citrus Bowl Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ABC

[Baseball25]

I can't for the life of me figure out why Keaton is even on the roster.

 

[mudhen]

One more score and I can relax

 

[GAVol21]

if this game gets any darker Im going to think the apocalypse has arrived. Did ABC give us their third string cameramen?

He opted out...

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

It's REALLY obvious the Mouse has the "first string" producers, technicians, etc in Pasadena and New Orleans.

TV production quality is D2 level.

My wife told me our neighbor is now a camera guy for ABC. Used to be at ESPN.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Dude looks like Big Ben out there

 

[Tenacjim]

Cloud cover moving over the stadium.

That was just their QB standing up off the bench…

 

[posivol]

good run by thier qb/lineman

 

[Exiled]

I’m sorry, but it’s so dumb that Joe Milton “opted” out of this game.

He opted out to give Nico the start and limelight. Still a team player.

 

[Frozevol]

No prevent D!!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Give Golesh matching pay to Heup and bring him back as OC.

Can he bring a couple of Olinemeb?

Their 1st and 2nd stringers opted out.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Ole husky’s got some wheels lol

 

[vader]

I want a shutout

 

[AthensVol2007]

Dude..all it takes is one busted play. 14-7.

Except they haven’t taken advantage of that all year. This team is not capable of scoring more than 14 PPG.

 

[loservol]

I’m sorry, but it’s so dumb that Joe Milton “opted” out of this game.

Why?

 

[Cartervol]

It’s also about how good their defense is. Their defense is very tough / fantastic; their offense is one of the worst in CFB the last two seasons (they won a game in 2022 7-3 after scoring 2 FGs and a safety). Missouri’s punter had more passing yards than their QB one week.

It’s almost a testament to their defense that they got to 10-wins with that offense.

You can tell they're well coached. Just getting outclassed by better athletes.

 

[37027]

What's with these teams getting away with choke holding against Tn?

MY GOD THE IOWA GUARD IS TACKLING THE DL MAN WITH A DEATH GRIP ON THE DL'S NECK

 

[87&91ALUM]

I’m sorry, but it’s so dumb that Joe Milton “opted” out of this game.

Glad he did. Joe did us a favor.

 

[TrueOrange]

I love it how they try to make it sound like Iowa’s offense wasn’t struggling and one of the worst in CFB all year.

Where do people think the whole “PUNTS! PUNTS! PUNTS!” thing came from?

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Things I think they tell the injured PAT guy:

Wiggle around a little.
Okay, now grab your facemask.
Okay now, in about 45 seconds, we’re gonna sit you up. Please don’t fart on us.
Okay now, writhe as if in pain and we’re gonna look at the sidelines but call out a fake number so they know not to bring the cart.
Okay, we’re gonna help you to the sidelines and you’ll need to sit there for a minute like you’re in distress, and when you get up, be sure to limp around for awhile.
We good?

I think more like local High School level

 

[rocketskates]

Deacon Hill’s leaving stains all over the field

 

[bpalmer28]

Nico is playing well for a Freshman, but he still has a lot to learn, especially against SEC competition. Spring will help him a lot.

He’s not seeing the field very well. Game still a little fast for him. When it slows down he’ll be one of the best QBs in the country

 

[Delmar]

Imagine him before the bowl practice and 13 games ago...............................main reason he has not started until now, typical freshman QB.

Exactly. Josh knows what Nico has and he was never going to rush him into action.

 

[midtnvol2]

Iowa coach needs to back that QB aaay from the food line
