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

[FlVols]

Ok Def. Get after em

 

[Cornvol]

I fear back up QBs

 

[chuckb1448]

Now we will hear QB change all week if we pull this out

 

[johnboyhunter]

Not a single hold call all game.

 

[TNVOLnTX]

We have a very over rated punter.

No we have the absolute best online forum in all of sports that's sometimes wasted on an overrated fanbase.

 

[VOL RN]

They have a good QB hate to see him limp off like that due to a sh*t tackle.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Hold on that sack too. It is unreal these are not getting called

 

[posivol]

So many holds not called

all night even grabbed the facemask

 

[Volbrando]

Are they calling holding at all tonight

 

[Proud Army Wife]

We’re not going to get the holding calls. Gonna have to pin their ears back and hit Greene.

 

[Rockytoptilidie]

And the middle of the field is wide open

 

[adam.vol]

What the heck is a hold? Why aren’t we getting any flags for our pass rush?

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Bring the pressure on this QB

 

[teeball]

We have to remember that it is his 6th start. He will get better but the number one overall QB should be doing better than this. That was a terrible deep ball. I am trying to remain patient with him.

Actually I was referring to the team as a whole but Nico is certainly very pedestrian tonight ... he's got nothing.

 

[WOKI]

Yall need to chill on Nico. It's not like he has a full season of starting experience and I am sure he will be the first to say he hasn't played well. Can also put some on the guys around him. Staff has got to put some underneath routes in to help him

He makes Alot of money. This is pro sports now. He demanded alot of cash to commit to UT.

 

[bullman64]

Pierce needs to start holding his hands straight up like their DE does when he is held any little bit. That must be the signal

 

[patrick]

I mean you really have to call a home there. It was a textbook holding.

 

[Other_Guy]

Arkansas can complain about the roughing the passer. I think all the BLATANT holds missed are about equal.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Alll we gotta do is survive

Amen. 3 of those were to unranked teams.

 

[Dergibvol]

This is the problem. Y'all try to put unrealistic expectations on someone and the rag them when they don't live up to it. He's a young QB with a bad OL. It's not as black and white as "Oh he doesn't have X amount of yds? He sucks. Oh he didn't make this throw. He sucks" There's 11 dudes on the field that have to work together.

I'm more referring to the media hype. Not many freshman qb should ever be mentioned with heisman

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

Couple of quick hitters slows that rush down

A few good RB screens and quick TE curls

 

[ConantheVolbarian]

We are definitely on the SEC refs' **** list because we can't get a fair whistle to save our lives. Many people in the official game thread were talking about Arkansas never getting called for holding. It's the same thing every time we play SEC teams. We're the only team that ever holds in the eyes of the refs.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Just holding every single down.

 

[Putbacks]

Now Herbsreit is trying to coach up the Arky QB….

 

[tntornadox]

Are they calling holding at all tonight

Nope. I swear they used to call it all the time. But nowadays they're too focused on calling ticky tack weak crap. Weak crap has been a 'point of emphasis' for three seasons now it seems.
