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

[CNCVol88]

If you call getting Nico in for 2 series handling business...we are different.

I call winning 45-14 taking care of business.

Against utsa? Only getting Nico 2 series? We are different.

45-14. Beat the spread. Lol. Ok. You are unrealistic. Got it.

 

[CAVPUT]

Week minded people are week. Please reply with more candy ass comments. This is sport to me.

I'm definitely a fan 7 days a week for sure.

 

[DownTheField]

It's almost like people in here forget that this is ... COLLEGE FOOTBALL

I can't believe I have to avoid this place .... after a 45-14 win

 

[tennesseeduke]

Toyed against this team all day. No complaints!

No more BS about Prime time either as they got pimp slapped today!

 

[AdoptedVOL]

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

Nico needs to get more opportunities. He did not look comfortable on the big stage.

The spread doesn't take mop up duty into account? The reality is you are seeing what your feelings want to see. We are different.

That's great. Seriously. With your fandom, do you think you have the ability to have expectations to aquire greatness again?

Vegas pays out based on the score before "mop up duty" takes over?

The difference between you and I is that you are talking a points spread based on people who don't give a crap about this team's development. The reality based off of what was observed today is this team should have been up by 2 additional scores at the half so that our beloved 5 star in the wings could have gotten more reps in the 2nd quarter. Meaningful reps. If you want to keep beating the spread-drum go ahead. It only means you understand betting. Team building not so much.

First throw he attempted hit the guy in the numbers, result, dropped pass, I’d be uncomfortable to.

Guess you should know putting out a challenging post that itself is WEEK. CAN’t wait for next WEAKS installment of WHIT and wisdom.

Maybe I should have been a little more obvious like this poster?

[GUNTERSVOL]

Fingertips is not hands.

One I was referring to was the injury play and replay showed a great effort to get both hands on it and pull it to his chest before a great play by defender and ground caused the drop. SLO-MO is your friend.

 

[Hairy Vols]

I call winning 45-14 taking care of business.

Agreed. I don’t determine a victory by how many reps a back up gets. Wild.

 

[DuckInAPen]

I've never placed a bet in my life, but, to anyone giving it a few seconds of thought, it's obvious that the lines have to take mop-up duty (or gamblers' expectations thereof) into consideration, because the bettors win or lose based on real final scores.

As to building a football team, I readily admit to having no meaningful understanding. If either of us did, we wouldn't be trading messages on a message board.

Overall, 45-14 is a good win. We didn't play perfectly and we still need to improve in a lot of areas, but it's been one of the 12/13 days of the year we get to watch this team. Next week is a big one. Go Vols!

Agreed. No team is perfect. Ohio state is really, really good and I believe they are about to lose to Notre Dame.. ie WINNING ON THE ROAD IS REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT.

I don't think a lot of Vols fans innate believe that. IDK if the Nega Vols are ignorant or trolls. Losing to Florida IN The Swamp? I Not that big of a deal or some indicator that the Vols are terrible or that Milton shouldn't be a starter, because..... the Vols lost in one of THE most difficult places to play. Notice how UGA chooses to NOT play there. THAT'S how hard it is to play in the Swamp is.

GO Vols!

 

[Lars]

What this team is missing is a QB who can run the ball.

 

[GordonC]

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

It was. He got steamrolled on that play. Bigly.

 

[bpalmer28]

Nico needs to get more opportunities. He did not look comfortable on the big stage.

Wish he had a decent opportunity to run the offense instead of just being asked to run out the clock. He’ll be needed eventually… Milton gets a little more banged up every week…

 

[tennesseeduke]

I took the Vols and gave 24 for a lock. $100 to win 98$$$$$$$$

GO Vols!

The Florida gators, and the fooldawgs play in Jacksonville every year. 45 miles from Gainesville, FL. 500 miles from Athens ga.

 

[Manning4ever]

I Hate them to but, really.

Florida and Georgia have played in Jacksonville every year since 1933. Minus 2 years. You have to know that
