The Official #7 Tennessee @ #12 Georgia Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Switch 625]

Ask Erik Ainge how that worked for him in 2004

You can get hurt on any play.

 

[orangerush]

Beck is playing one of his best games of the yr.

Somehow that doesn’t surprise me.

 

[jcvol87]

So attack on offense and it doesn’t matter.

I’ll be happy with a win regardless but at the moment if they can’t get to Beck it could be a shoot out and being in Athens that could be tough.

 

[PA Vol]

We are playing well on the road against a premier team. Lets make some adjustments and win this thing.

Beck is playing one of his best games of the yr.

Told y'all he'd start his Heisman campaign tonight

 

[JMSqb11]

He’s only got one target. Or at least it feels that way and that’s the TE. Cover him up and see what happens.

I love McCoy getting a DPI against a toothpick looking white boy who’s slow as molasses

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

But if we loose we’re out. Make it make sense

We don’t have Georgia or Bama’s reputation. We are 30 minutes away from taking what is ours.

 

[Putbacks]

This telecast by the All-Georgia Network ft. Carson Beck is annoying….

 

[Lankykong]

The fumble that was but wasn’t a fumble, the phantom offsides, the blatant no call pi, holding on every down, we can’t add onto all that. The refs, the announcers, ESPN are all against us, and we are on the road. Needs to be too big to rig in the second half.

Yeah, I forgot about that offsides. The other two were expected/correct. There was a bobble out of bounds too from one of their WR on that last drive as well when he tried to secure the ball

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Need to come out and get 7 to start the half.

 

[Golfprovol]

Donte had a big one

So 1 drop and we should bail on all our WR's?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

NO PART of the first 30 minutes was a failure. We are playing a very damn good football team in THEIR home. We are tied at Half people. These are the games Champions are made in. Suck it up and fight like hell.

Agreed. It's AT Georgia and we're tied.

 

[hUTch2002]

We’re not getting pressure on him, even when we blitz.

Blitzes have been few and far between. If you don’t get pressure then you have to cover. We haven’t done either. Hopefully Banks adjusts so one of those happens the second half.

 

[CAVPUT]

I’m being sarcastic. They score 3.

3 TDs....I agree. With Banks playing conservative, Beck has all day and is getting very comfortable. This is NOT the defense we need to be playing if we want to win on the road and stay in the playoff hunt. If we're going to go down, at least go down swinging. Be aggressive and hit Beck. If he beats us under those circumstances, I can accept defeat. To lose playing timid? Nah. Can't respect that, but it does seem like a UT thing to do.

 

[SCRocket]

I liked that movie that Kirby played in. I think his characters name was Loyd.

 

[vol94]

Beck playing well. Keep in mind Nico lost 15 yards from sacks which impacts rushing stats.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Offense penalty for UGA, shouldn’t they have to call a timeout or give up 15 second time runoff?

Was the clock running? If not, No.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Worst call in all of football is to take a knee to get to halftime. Throw it deep. You might get lucky

Maybe in the pros where PI a spot foul. In college from the 25 your best hope is a 15 yard penalty.

 

[orangerush]

We need to win as the CFP committee will drop us out of the playoff picture.

 

[Edixon2]

Carson Beck Just played his best Half of Football… and it’s tied… I’ll take it

 

[MeanOrange]

Beck is playing one of his best games of the yr.

You are correct. Got to blitz Beck and get pressure somehow. He will fold if we can get to him.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Honestly pretty shocked we aren’t getting pressure with 4. Ole Miss did all night and figured our guys could too.

getting us dropping offsides really slowed us down, I’m very disappointed thus far with d line. Coaches need to light a fire under this defense

 

[87&91ALUM]

17-17 halftime….adjust, figure it out, score more than Dawgs second half…win

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Beck looks like the child of JarJar Binks and Christopher Walken.

Which adds up to Sid the Sloth from Ice Age, lol

 

[SamuraiVol74]

My amateur halftime view:

- Nico is playing as well as he has played all season.
- Dylan is hitting his spots and punishing the Georgia defense. That will reap rewards in the 2nd half.
- Our receivers still can't catch water if they fell out of a boat on the Tennessee River.
- Loved to see Tight End utilization on the first drive. In my non-expert opinion, the key to winning this football game is to have the offense operate the exact same way as they did on the very first drive. That equation equals win.
- Offensive line is playing well.
- Defense is not as impactful as I expected them to be.
- Hardly any pressure/pass rush and that MUST change to win this game in the 2nd half.
- Because there's hardly any QB pressure, the defense is getting exposed down the field.
- When Georgia is motioning, the defense has been discombobulated every single time. Not sure what's up with that, but this has led to Georgia moving the football down the field and Mike Bobo is going to keep calling motion until Tennessee adjusts.
- Special Teams has been a monster tonight in the 1st half. Hopefully, that will continue.

Let's go Vols! We can win this game!
