The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Missouri Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, CBS

[Volholic]

Wait, Georgia is allowed to be down 10 entering the fourth to mizzu but tenn isn't allowed to struggle to put them away?

That’s the way this works. Didn’t you know?

 

[malibuvol]

Heupel is going to freaking gift wrap them a field goal for going for it. We should have just punted it.

I'd like to think our defensive coordinator and secondary coach has really gift wrapped this game so far...This secondary play beats all I've ever seen...Terrible play recognition, crappy footwork, losing sight of football, it's terrible

 

[knoxvol52]

We will be ranked below Oregon next week if we dont shape up this is why we are the butt ends of jokes on ESPN we do it to ourselves. At least freaking Basketball started and Baseball around the corner thank goodness

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

My corner is we’re being overly aggressive on offense. This game should be 31-14 is we took the early FG and then punted there at the end.

We’ll be fine.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Committee shaking their heads we arent impressing anyone probably being laughed at

Lol I was just thinking this is a game would be blessing if on SEC network not CBS. last thing we need is more eyes on this game unless we pull away.

 

[BreatheUT]

Very lackluster defensive performance today against a terrible Missouri offense. 17 points? Mizzou doesn’t even score 17 points in some full games.

This. Puzzling strategy against Missouri's most consistent play all day - the QB draw.

 

[Freak]

The announcer just said Tennessee fans want LSU to lose. I don't agree with that.

 

[TuVol4u]

i tihnk we still pull away, but man i was hoping for a better showing by the D. Lets see what second half brings.
Offense doing their thing but Hyatt needs a spark.

 

[hardin_co85]

Im. sure they are having a cool calm and collected talk in the locker room

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Don’t need to let this team hang around much into the second half

 

[pharmDvol11]

Look on the bright side: at least you aren’t watching a 6-3 game like they are in Fayetteville. Bo-ring!

 

[UTK]

Embarrassing letting this QB have a career day rushing against us. My faith in Banks to adjust at half isn't high.

Dude has zero confidence throwing down field. We need to start forcing it. But then our secondary does some dumb **** anyways lol

 

[PA Vol]

CBS halftime crew saying we want LSU to lose.

No, I want them to lose to Georgia lol

 

[DB1995]

If you read this thread without context you would think we’re trailing 28-17

 

[BleedOrange81]

Flowers to me is soft..he just doesn’t like to hit people..

 

[hUTch2002]

Really 38-14 if Hyatt doesn’t drop those 2. Just come out swinging in the second half and we’ll be good.

We should but one even including his drops. I’m just talking about our 4th down decisions.

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

Not gonna cut it. This is not gonna be a popular statement but, we are not a playoff team. Flame away.

 

[I4Vols]

Very lackluster defensive performance today against a terrible Missouri offense. 17 points? Mizzou doesn’t even score 17 points in some full games.

3 bad D plays - a penalty near the goal line, comedy of errors on a pass and not holding your lane and giving up a 40 yard run.
Otherwise, ok, but not ok against a bad offensive team.

Offense - Hyatt makes either of those late catches and who knows what I'm writing now

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

We need to beat them by 40+. We are nowhere near close rot that right now. Could easily be but stupidity

We’ll cover the spread , we don’t need to win by 40+.
The other games will take care of themselves.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

At least we aren’t Kentucky right now. They are down 1 vs Vandy!

 

[Matt2496]

I'm hoping the Defense wakes up in the 2nd half.

I know we're going to win, but it's embarrassing to have a team as bad as Mizzou move it up and down the field on us.

 

[Freak]

He is playing ion a bad ankle.

His ankle looks okay. It's his hands.

 

[wesley21]

We will be ranked below Oregon next week if we dont shape up this is why we are the butt ends of jokes on ESPN we do it to ourselves. At least freaking Basketball started and Baseball around the corner thank goodness

This is what I’m saying we need to win and shut them down convincingly. The committee is dying to put Oregon abound us and probably will

 

[volbound1700]

The announcer just said Tennessee fans want LSU to lose. I don't agree with that.

Yeah that is just stupid. The key is when teams play teams not on our schedule.

Pittsburgh needs to win for us because we don't play any of their ACC opponents.

LSU plays Arkansas who is not on our schedule

Alabama plays Ole Miss who isn't on our schedule

Florida and South Carolina doesn't matter because we play both of them. I think it may slightly help us if Florida wins since that was one of our "ranked" wins.

 

[hUTch2002]

We’ll be fine.

We should be let’s be smart and put this game away. 3 scores up would be nice and it was within our grasp with 2 different decisions.
