Stadium Wifi finally working now that the Iowa fans bailed

Iowas backup QB can't throw worth a lick! Just calm down and make him throw it. No need to go all out blitz every play

Iowa boards are saying KF spouts the “best chance to win” routine. They’re as pissed as we were with Garantano.

As they should be. Imagine having this great defense and that joke of an offense.

 

[AllVols]

Well, (not TN news) LSpoo with the come back win.

 

[Orange931]

Don’t think it would’ve mattered who started this game for Iowa. This other kid is just pumped right now and we had no film on him. It’ll all simmer down when the defense figures him out.

 

[deezvols]

Pearce gonna Pearce

 

[McDad]

Well, hurry!

He said he doesn't take requests from Georgia fans.

We played Joe Milton the whole season.

Very true!!!

If you just compare talent and experience by position group here is how I see it:

QB- Deacon Hill has more experience but played poorly on the whole. Nico more talent but very little experience. PUSH (Sorry ALL TENN)

RB- Iowa has 3 experienced backs and UT is down their top 2. IOWA (ALL TENN)

WR- Besides former top 100 recruit Kaleb Brown, the hawks lack here obviously. Even in a down year for your standards you guys have a big advantage here. (ALL TENN)

TE- Even with two NFL players out due to injury this isn’t close. IOWA ????

OL- Iowa has been very inconsistent up front but has had games where they dominate on the ground. UT is beat up and down a lot of guys. PUSH (ALL TENN)

DL- UT lost Baron, but has had a better pass rush than the Hawks this year. Iowa is deeper and better against the run. Without Baron it’s IOWA. (ALL TENN)

LB- two all Americans and a 2nd team all B1G player for the hawks IOWA. (ALL TENN)

DB- Lol. IOWA (ALL TENN)

Special teams- 2023 All American punter and 2022 all American kicker IOWA


I don’t think UT is better anywhere besides receiver

*duel threat

Fail.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING!!

At the risk of getting sprayed by the wife with the "cat controller water bottle," I'm 100% certain it WOULD be a "great day in the morning."

Stadium Wifi finally working now that the Iowa fans bailed

I didn’t think they even knew how to work WiFi

 

[posivol]

thats more better

 

[Cartervol]

Finally paying him more attention.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Schnadenfreud? Was im Teufel ist Schnadenfreud?

Stuffen him mit eine fartenhammer!

 

[Nationdom]

Actually made an adjustment

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

If Iowas offense had any life the first 3 quarters rhis might be a game.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Down he goes

 

[GAVol21]

Iowa's backup is out there pulling a Dobbs on us.

Before anyone yells at me, I love me some Josh Dobbs. Just tipping my hat to this "I don't know what the plays are so I guess I'll just scramble" offense. It works -- until it doesn't.

Until he didn't.

 

[VAVol85]

This Iowa team won their division in the Big10…UT finished third in our SEC division.

 

[posivol]

wow handoff 3rd and long

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Don’t think it would’ve mattered who started this game for Iowa. This other kid is just pumped right now and we had no film on him. It’ll all simmer down when the defense figures him out.

I think that’s right, but still, why you wouldn’t do some basic homework and see that a statue of pork at QB wasn’t going to give you a chance to win against us is coaching malfeasance.

 

[posivol]

get him

 

[Sarms58]

This new QB has 38 of their 93 yards rushing…
