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

[vols 30]

We will win, but forget style points. Sorry defense will let them stay close

 

[vanillagorilla]

Let's not forget that this is a good Missouri defense. Despite what seemed like an ugly half, UT is on pace to put up big numbers offensively.

 

[VolArmy74]

365 yards on Missouri in the first half. They are giving up 303 a game this year. That's pretty solid. Also the most points they've given up in an SEC game all season.

 

[DC_Vol]

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.

And a few uncharacteristic drops.

 

[Z06Vol]

Noon game. After devastating loss. Couple miscues. Up by 11. Some of yall need to go take a walk.

Headed out now.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

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

Exactly, we’re gonna cover the spread. The committee knows missouris defense hasn’t given up more then 26 the whole season… Tennessee offense did that in the first half and left points on the field. We’ll be fine y’all take a breathe eat something before ur next brooski lol

 

[Roundman]

Under CJH, we've never lost a game when we're up at half. Just sayin'.....

 

[Proud Army Wife]

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

Lol we certainly don’t want LSU to lose until the SEC title game.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Unforced errors gave them every single one of their points. But up 10 with the ball to start the half. They need to come out and play clean, smart football

 

[Flipdaddy]

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

I totally agree. We don’t have enough production on defense and offensively we don’t handle pressure well. I can’t believe we aren’t dialing up a middle screen on pressure downs.

Let’s put up another 300 this half and find a way to shut down their offense.

Statistically, this team should get an INT this half.

 

[UTfan94]

Our Defense right now.

 

[pharmDvol11]

Vol fans before the season: hopeful we can take a step forward- get to 8-9 wins.

Vol fans in November: (ahead by 2 scores at halftime) WE’RE SCREWING THIS UP IN FRONT OF THE PLAYOFF COMMITTEEEEEE!!!!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Looking more like the defense vs Kentucky was an anomaly.

[DeepSpringsVol]

Ill probably take heat for this. Kentucky isn't doing us any favors either. Hanging on to a top 25 win helps us. Kentucky losing to Vanderbilt helps us in no way.

Is the sound going out for a split second every once in a while during the broadcast, or is there an issue with my speakers?

 

[PA Vol]

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

Up 11 at half following a disappointing loss. Less than average offensive play, a penalty, and one sleep walking fourth down play are all that’s looked bad.

We are literally half-assing it today and are up two scores. What else do you want?

 

[Lebo2r]

26-22 GA MO…..I think we’ll be ok.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

We’re not losing this game, but definitely don’t need to let their terrible offense stick around.

 

[vols 30]

Wut?

Don't care much for running on 2 and 10, but I guess some do

 

[TuVol4u]

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

Yeah, we should be singing T-I-G-E-R-S...TIGERS! after they score each time.

Historically, arky has given LSU fits tho. So im not surprised things are close right now.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

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.

I’m thinking we cover the spread. The most Missouri defense has given up this year is 26 , we got 28 in the half with points on the field, no way Missou can keep up.

Stop their QB runs and we're in good shape.

It's the broadcast
