The Official #23/20 Tennessee vs. UTSA, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[chattavol420]

If the D can get a 3 and out, we might see Nico.

That’s what you’d think. But I honestly don’t believe we will. It’s starting to get flat out weird how committed heupel is to Milton. I honestly believe he’ll take every snap next week against SC

 

[tbh]

You're the best. Seriously, I want Nico to succeed, just like any other player. Those throws will be golden very soon. Unlike some, I just don't want it at the expense of our starting QB. He will lead this team for at least the next two years.

I believe we're on the same page there. I want to see Milton ball out in a big way. When he's on, he is ON. I also want Iamaleava to get some meaningful playing time when the game is put away, looking toward the future too.

 

[DrTNT]

I’m so sick of terrible officiating…

Surely Danny White is all over the SEC offices about this crap, right??

 

[jvol1]

Nico didnt look ready for primetime yet. Need to send joe all of our positive energy to try and get the wins.

 

[DrTNT]

The number of injuries today. Ugh.

Hopefully some are able to play next week…

 

[DrTNT]

I hope not but it looked like it

Who was the DB with the arm injury? Never heard and couldn’t make out the number? Was it C. Harrison??

 

[Power T-Rev]

If there’s one thing we learned today: get Dylan Sampson the damn ball

 

[BigBadVol]

He may not be the best announcer but I would love for Derek Mason to be the defensive coordinator for the Vols.

 

[BP4Prez]

That’s what you’d think. But I honestly don’t believe we will. It’s starting to get flat out weird how committed heupel is to Milton. I honestly believe he’ll take every snap next week against SC

I don’t know why anyone would think otherwise. If not, it’s a blowout one way or another.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

who is the 40 year old man? #

I just know he’s back in his cave now.

 

[DrTNT]

Christian Harris? Harrison? Not sure if I got his name right.

If it was 29, it was Christian Harrison, Rodney Harrison’s son; I couldn’t make out name or number though.

 

[CoachClick]

He may not be the best announcer but I would love for Derek Mason to be the defensive coordinator for the Vols.

Absolutely. And the way he was praising Vols today I could see it.
As long as we leave Banks and Martinez at the train station, I'll be happy.

 

[DaddyChad]

He may not be the best announcer but I would love for Derek Mason to be the defensive coordinator for the Vols.

Did coach DBs also before being a DC.

 

[CPVOL]

I wouldn't call it playing but he wiffed another one first half.

This is a serious question and I’m not being a smart ass. How does a player like him make this roster? What did someone see in him that even remotely checked any boxes let alone all the boxes? He isn’t a D1 DB and never will be

 

[BigBadVol]

Did coach DBs also before being a DC.

I remember his defenses played at a level way above the talent he had to work with. Those players got coached up.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He may not be the best announcer but I would love for Derek Mason to be the defensive coordinator for the Vols.

I’d be cool with this.

 

[CPVOL]

This is so retarded. Tyler Bray was skinny too and look what happened back then? That line was one of the worst in football and bray managed to live through it. Nico would be fine, and if he doesn’t get to start playing soon he will transfer. Who gives a duck about Milton, let Nico learn and practice this season with live game time. They have already screwed the year up, not like it matters now.

Agree

 

[UTfan94]

Surely Danny White is all over the SEC offices about this crap, right??

Needs to be!

 

[Valishin]

They actually called them out for several, including the blatantly obvious face mask.

They called out the fouls expecting the refs to make those calls then got silent after it didn't happen. After it happened several times and very one side you got to call out the refs directly. They are obviously being instructed not to do so, its the only reason.

 

[KeyVol14]

Glad to have a win. To call it a good win is funny. Joe missed 2 TD in the 1st half. Nico didn't get nearly enough quality snaps today. Should have been up by 2 more touchdowns to close the half. Nico should have had all snaps after our first possession in the 2nd half.

He missed squirrel in the endzone. Which other throw are you referring to? Nimrod at the end of the half? That was right after Milton got rolled up on

 

[jaxvol]

Nico didnt look ready for primetime yet. Need to send joe all of our positive energy to try and get the wins.

Nico looks like he weighs a buck fifty and would get killed behind our line.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Surely Danny White is all over the SEC offices about this crap, right??

If they are not they’re crazy…

 

[TNHopeful505]

I always liked Derek Mason. He was a great DC at Stanford and took on a really tough situation at Vandy and made them look competent. I think he would be a great DC. But I'm not against Banks. Now, Martinez....meh. 3 years and our DBs still suck.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Did coach DBs also before being a DC.

The Vandy D was usually pretty solid when he was there. Did well with the talent he had

 

[luthervol]

Aren't we winning 45-14 and covering the spread? I just don't get it.

Out of curiosity I just scolled through the first few pages of the "pick the score" thread. TN did better than at least 80% of the picks. Some people just like to b!tch.
