The Official #5 Tennessee @ Georgia Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[volfan__18]

remember the people who were trying to argue Dalton wasn’t going to be the same in the SEC. Two back to back games of 28 and 36.

 

[VolPack22]

Let’s go ahead and give Dalton Knecht the SEC POY. Dude is something else. He will go down as one of the best scorers this program has ever had.

 

[Freak]

Wonder if those who signed off on the season in this thread stayed tuned in to catch the ending?

 

[rocketskates]

As they say, she ain’t pretty but she has teeth! I’ll take an ugly and hard fought game anytime. Hopefully this will “kick start” some 40 minute consistency

Georgia is a really solid team too. 11 wins straight. They were hitting everything beyond the arc. Good win.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Second time my heart rate has hit the 140s today. I coached earlier and it went to the wire, but we got the dub to start 2-0. Then This. Barnes doesn’t want me to see his age, apparently

 

[I4Vols]

It wasn’t pretty but a W is a W

Actually, the last 5 or so mins is all I remember and it was BEAUTIFUL

 

[GBO18]

Yeah, everybody be cool he will be needed it's a long run.

No he won’t. His entire career has been inconsistency.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

DK HUGE game, love him!

Aidoo just doing serious work, 10 points 15 rebounds, 5 blocks

ZZ a bit loose in first half with 6 TOs, 0 in 2nd half.

Santi hit a big 3 when we needed it, but everything else he does had a big impact. Especially on defense.

 

[D3Athlete]

Glad they decided to play like Tennessee is capable of last 4 minutes. 15-1 run to end it. It’s a good thing Dalton Knecht. He has that swagger to him, along with Zz. Hopefully this win kick start Tennessee on a damn good run.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Not a great effort overall today, but that kind of fight at the end to overcome a double-digit deficit on the road says a lot about this team.

Yeah...sucking it up and gutting out a win like this hopefully pays dividends in March.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Took their best shot and stole it!

 

[2EastTnVols]

We seem to have found our balls

 

[hUTch2002]

Apologies for being an ass earlier, emotions of the game. Taking my lap now.

Eh, no worries. I was just frustrated at the time. Snap and clear. Sorry I was one too.

 

[JCP201]

JJJ on the bench and Knecht finding his touch was the difference

It wasn't his day. Thankfully on the bench at the end. .

 

[rockytop25]

I don’t think people understand how hard it is to win on the road in this league! Heck of a win

 

[BradstarVols]

That ill-advised pull up 3 by Dalton to take the lead was money

 

[Lukusw]

First time this year with a comeback win.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Wonder if those who signed off on the season in this thread stayed tuned in to catch the ending?

I hope not. They make this forum not good for mental health in the face of adversity. We’re better off without them

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

That was a statement game for both teams. Would have been a statement win for Georgia. Would have been a statement loss for us. As it is, we won a game we were supposed to win. We all would rather have won it without DK having to score 36, but come selection Sunday, not a soul will care how we won this game or by how much.

Take the win, move on, straighten things out on defense, and re-evaluate the rotation. If JJJ isn’t going to give any more than he’s given the last two games, he needs to lose minutes to Mashack and maybe even Freddie for that matter.

 

[GBO18]

Snapped their 10 game win streak.

That’s what we do. Ole Miss and now UGA.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

HUUGE WIN!

 

[Caz]

That one is going to really hurt for UGA fans. I think the Vols figured something out today. I don't think we've seen a last 5 minute comeback like that in a long time.

Great post and you are correct. We needed one like that to build some moxy. We’ve been on the other end way too much

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Knecht could play his way into NPOY consideration

 

[Just a VolinTears]

First win when Knecht was hot (except WISC)

 

[GBO18]

remember the people who were trying to argue Dalton wasn’t going to be the same in the SEC. Two back to back games of 28 and 36.

People wanted to BENCH him.
