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

[JcVol865]

I don’t feel nervous about tonight’s game. I think it’ll be a big time W. Every game we play is our “test” for our defense. I think our defense is elite and will prove it again tonight!

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Was there ever a better backfield than Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and Travis Stephens?

No.

That 2002 game ran my buzz out,I was sober at end of game.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

A&M/Missouri are proving that you never know how a game will go.

 

[Big Al Orange]

No.

I agree they were awesome !!
Not to change the subject but who else is enjoying what A&M is doing to Mizzu ?? 31 zip 3rd qtr. Lol

 

[Vol1956]

Remember when the Missouri coach told Josh Heupel that they stand on business. Well it looks like they are going out of business today.

 

[NATHAN05]

No.

110% agree..........unbelievable backfield. Only pair of running backs I'll give the honorable mention too would be James "Little Man" Stewart and Charlie Garner combo.

Who did the fellas on Gameday pick in our game? Anyone see it?

ACC-Homer Day

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

This season, there sure are a lot of teams that are better than their records imply!.

 

[TAF]

PaPaw with TRUE PRIORITIES!!!

 

[Shirleyudontmeanthat]

This gonna be Nico welcome to the Heisman race game. Going to light up the Pigs , squirrel a kick return for a TD , Bishop w 2 TDs , Sampson w 2 also.

 

[Sea Ray]

No.

For my money, I'll go with the Cobbweb backfield of Reggie Cobb and Chuck Webb

Lewis was bigger faster version of Webb

A&M/Missouri are proving that you never know how a game will go.

Aggies up 41-7 in 3rd qtr. Love it. Dorkwitz' team getting "the business!"

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

 

[Sea Ray]

Lewis was bigger faster version of Webb

I don't know about that. I don't recall Webb ever getting caught from behind. Injuries cut his career short

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I didn’t see it discussed after the Oklahoma game, but, I thought Nico managed through the crowd noise well. Tonight will be another test of that skill.

 

[Sea Ray]

What's the latest on our offensive line health? Are our tackles ready to go?

 

[DirtyDawg]

Good luck tonight Vols. I’ll be watching. I think it could be a good game. I think you guys definitely have the better team and I think you guys will win but I think the potential for an entertaining game is there bc Arkansas looks like a good team from the little I’ve seen them play.

I’m interested to see how y’all’s defense will look against the Hogs, and I’m interested to see how Nico plays tonight.

Anyway again, good luck. I think you guys get the W tonight.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Have never been so ready for a game in my life. Need some normalcy - and a beat down of the Hawgs.

Been out doing relief work in lower Washington and Unicoi today, long road ahead but most I talked to were talking about the game and asking us to bring updates back. Someone went down to Walmart and got battery powered radios so folks could listen to the game tonight. Small thing, but people having a little bit of distraction is a great thing and sorely needed after this week.

GBO!

 

[FlVols]

Got my pig ham steaks to eat in by beat the Hawks last meal before tonight’s game. Go Vols!! Whip them up and back down the field!

 

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

Two trends I would like to see develop tonight:

1. Our DL plays a disciplined game where we force Green to run horizontal instead of downfield on scrambles. He makes the majority of his mistakes when trying to force throws out of the pocket.
2. Heupel opens up the playbook and lets Nico and the WRs light up a depleted secondary

I still feel like this will be closer than it should be given the talent differences, but I trust Heupel to have the boys ready.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

They were singing our praises during the Missouri/A&M game

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Missouri highly overrated. Let’s hope we don’t prove to be also.

True, but A&M looked much better than I expected.|. They probably have the best coach they have had in years.
