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

Very nice way to end the season!

Throwing the ball up 35 with 40 seconds left is not "getting a shot." Heupel could have brought him in earlier and the game and let him throw. You don't start throwing with a minute to go in the game and up 5 TDs. Show some respect for your opponent.

If the nation’s #4 defense can’t stop a walk-on QB and a true FR at RB then hang up your cleats.

The Cheez It victory bath needs to be a thing.

 

[tlester3672]

Happy with a win…, but could’ve easily hung 50 on them if play calling was not so conservative after the half.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Oh my Kayla…Heupel is in the presence of an angel

sheesh ... shes fine ... but yall can cut out the leghumping LOL

 

[Orange931]

Milton dumped a Gatorade cooler full of Cheez Its on Heup lol

 

[Mustng959]

Good win for our guys and the expectations for next year are looking good too. Congrats Vols!

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I SAID IT’S GREAT TO BE A….

 

[Mocvol83]

I’ve got zero problems with giving our backups a chance to score at the end. Bowl games are exhibitions. Let them get all the reps they can. Shut up with the classless talk.

 

[CAVPUT]

Quick question was that boo Carter with Nico family the whole game? I figured he would be on the field

Maybe Nico's brother?

 

[dobre_shunka]

Today’s gone so well, Danny White is gonna rip another price hike.

You'd rather they lose in order to keep tickets the same price?

 

[UTfan94]

35-0 Not bad for a true freshman's first start.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

One of the best defenses in the country it’s their job to stop Tennessee’s back ups. It’s not Heupels job to stop them.

THIS.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Wow! We won time of possession!

When a Heupel team wins time of possession then it’s a pretty bad blowout

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Really a great way to cap a season. I thought I would be chill this off-season, but, I'm already on the Big Orange Train.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

sheesh ... shes fine ... but yall can cut out the leghumping LOL

Leghumping is a proud bowl game tradition, sir.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Don’t play the athletes on a week to week basis you see in the SEC. Michigan and Ohio State are the only two exceptional teams in that conference.

Edit: And they may not be as good as hyped. About to find out.

While I don't disagree with you, you might want dismount your high horse. Folks say the same about the SEC being all Bama and GA (sometimes Bam and LSU). Neigh!!!

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Wow! Just an unexpectedly awesome performance!

 

[VolBalls33]

I am trying not to get too excited after seeing Nico and knowing what returns on the offensive side of the ball. Sampson/Seldon, really experienced OLine, TE transfer, and the potential for a top WR room. Then add Nico!!
As for today great win for UT and the SEC. GBO!!

 

[ZZ13]

This is a well known FL fan’s alt account for those who don’t frequent the political forum

I guess that Florida fan must have hated Spurrier when he was doing that at the end of every blowout win.

Would Iowa quit if they had the ball?

 

[Vol8188]

I guess that fan must have hated Spurrier when he was doing that at the end of every blowout win.

Agreed. I would only have a problem with it if it was our first team out there at the end.

 

[carolinaviking]

How was Iowa ranked 17 with that offense? Did they have a ton of opt-outs?

 

[JO VOL]

Heupel is pretty classless in end of game situations. He's done this multiple times.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

I’m not sure how much you know about strength and conditioning but 11lbs in one year is a lot. I find it more than acceptable.

That might be acceptable for normal training, but UT SHOULD have elite nutrition and conditioning.

If he's plateaued and that's his body type, I'm doubtful of his long-term durability as a running QB.
