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

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

Agree, D is Achilles Heel, Tenn is a stat pad game for QBs

 

[AntiochVol81]

Looking forward to see what adjustments are made.

Hopefully one to cover the QB draw

 

[VolsFan-TX]

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

Not sure why we would want them to lose. They aren’t beating GA, so we need them to win the others.

 

[RabunRaven]

I think this second half will be incredibly telling for the rest of the season. It’s the last half of the last home game on senior day with playoff implications on the line. Adjustments from coaches and attitude of players these next 30 will be paramount.

 

[BreatheUT]

If this QB runs like this just wait. Vandys will double these yards by half. All this talk about is being in the playoff needs to stop and right now. Time to just play games one week at a time like there is no playoff. We coach differently when we in contention

Celebrated talk about the playoffs last week before they laid an egg last week. They need to play and coach like their hair is on fire every week. Now people are still discussing playoffs - cart before the horse.

 

[captainsword]

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

Down 8 now

 

[knoxvol52]

We will drop in rankings if we should win but it doesnt matter saying it rite now South Carolina beats us at their place next week book it

 

[I4Vols]

Just win out. We probably get in because other teams will lose.

On a positive note, LSU and Pittsburgh are winning. We need them to win today along with Alabama to help our strength of schedule.

LSU was talked about like it was the latest thing since sliced bread by all the talking heads on Gameday. 6 biggies on 2 field goals in the first half... they need to step it up
But, their D is doing it's job.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

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

Double our stats and we gain over 600 yards..... that might be above average... double the scores and we win by three TD....

 

[ENGRVOL]

It’s been since the first play of the 4th quarter in 2020 since we last punted against missouri. Hope we continue the streak in the 2nd half

 

[DC_Vol]

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

And turn around to look for the ball in the air

Ban this clown.

 

[Freak]

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

Some don't care much for abandoning the run, as your post seemed to suggest.

 

[vavolfan6]

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

Let's be real. Mizzou has kept most of their games pretty close this season. I know it could be more but to score 28 points in a half against them is really good.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Vandy just scored 14-6

 

[VolsFan-TX]

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

Kansas St scored 40 on them.

Edit: one score was a punt return, but that is still 33.

 

[BreatheUT]

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

Sounds like a bad take.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

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.

Then who is a play-off team other than UGA? Everyone has struggled.

 

[Caz]

Not sure why we would want them to lose. They aren’t beating GA, so we need them to win the others.

Agreed, but we need to take care of our own house first

 

[DC_Vol]

[ButchPlz]

How many times has it been pointed out that the run is the actual cornerstone of our offense? We saw what happened when it got rolling just a little bit there in Q2.

 

[ftsandersvol]

We need LSU and Bama to win today. We need TCU and Oregon to lose today. Big ask though.

 

[BreatheUT]

Vandy just scored 14-6

Whoa

I would have laughed at this two weeks ago. Something is different with this team now

 

[TN1111]

Looking more like the defense vs Kentucky was an anomaly.

Vanderbilt is shutting them down at KY and now up 14 - 6.
