The Official #4 Tennessee @ Arkansas Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Volbrando]

What’s happened to our passing game. Squirrel. Bru. Are they not getting open?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

The offense Arkansas is running -we should mimic
CROSSING ROUTES

Don’t have time for that.

 

[chuckb1448]

There's no reason to hold out for anybody if you're referring to play calling. We're in serious trouble. Pull out everything.

Our offense looks Anemic.... seriously, it's odd

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Next week will be a challenge.

Isn’t always? Who was thinking it would be a cake walk?

 

[TNJOKER]

I hate to say it but you are horrible at diagnosing what the weak link is right now

Agreed. He is a freshmen.. very young. He has excellent potential.

The traditional QB argument is not gonna work in this case.

 

[SCSmokey]

Maybe Nico needs to sit for a bit.

Are you an imbecile?

 

[ENGRVOL]

maybe we can get Vandy's qb...

The one that lost to Georgia state?

 

[ETV]

Arkansas has a better QB than we do.

No. Just a better play caller. Petrino is better than Hazle.

 

[joevols89]

Yep they're there, even got a couple steps on the defender. Ball should've been gone even before I saw it. Receiver is open for a talent like Nico.

Nico rattled by his line’s inability to block I would guess.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Will Arky go for it?

From there? NO way

 

[first time caller]

I'd like to see a tight end down the middle. Is he holding out fot Bama? I'm confused

He's dialing it back because our defense is so good tonight.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Maybe Nico needs to sit for a bit.

No he doesn’t

 

[G0V0LS33]

Bet they go for it

 

[Bryan1]

Think they blew whistle - not sure.

It did, forward progress not revieable.

 

[TN1111]

Why can’t our receivers any of them get separation..we just can’t win a one on one. Alabama and Georgia will play straight man all game long.

I think they are sometimes. Nico is terrified to throw the ball unless they're 10 yards open. You can't play qb that way.

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Maybe Nico needs to sit for a bit.

Wars need to be looked at first. Arky playing man and we get 0 separation

 

[chuckb1448]

He's dialing it back because our defense is so good tonight.

Lol

 

[BruiserVol]

Yea. Don't get it

I would think maybe the OU game has him gun shy. He got away with it against lesser competition. I think once he started getting some turnovers he is afraid to turn it over.

 

[VawlDave]

Half of y’all deserve more seasons in the wilderness and JG at QB.

 

[Go47]

What’s happened to our passing game. Squirrel. Bru. Are they not getting open?

Bru is getting held A LOT. Matthews is our only guy to blow past guys . . . Not sure what’s up with him.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Why can’t our receivers any of them get separation..we just can’t win a one on one. Alabama and Georgia will play straight man all game long.

Our QB won't allow them to go up and make a play. There are zero 50/50 balls thrown

 

[Pride85]

Maybe Nico needs to sit for a bit.

No he doesn't. He needs to learn to work through these. He is facing true adversity for the first time. Pulling him now would make it appear coach has no confidence in him.

 

[landscapingvol]

I hate to say it but Nico is the weak point of our team right now...

Yes he is but it’s a natural progression of the game that’s why these crazy score predictions are always comical. He is still learning and the offensive line isn’t great in pass blocking

 

[Dergibvol]

Here comes a fake

 

[Orange931]

From there? NO way

I’ve seen crazy stuff. Pittman is playing for his job.
