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

Banks is going to have to blitz Beck period.

 

[JMSqb11]

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

Shoulda known when the Cavinder twins combined for 45-50 points in their women’s hoops game today.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

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

Gotta make those plays. I’m not bailing on anyone

 

[VolGirl81]

Id like to see some tight end plays again and some passing. Surely, someone can get open.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Honestly so is nico tho

Nico

C/ATT	YDS	AVG	TD	INT
12/19	93	4.9	0	0

Carson

C/ATT	YDS	AVG	TD	INT
15/29	183	6.3	2	0

Just because Nico is not turning the ball over does not mean he is having a good game. Look at the stat difference between he & Carson at the half.

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.

Most pitiful thing I’ve ever seen.

I think UGA lost to Old Piss because they were getting ready for TN .

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!

There has been 1 bad drop!!! Pay attention

You can get hurt on any play.

No doubt but that’s why we all have opinions. You’re right but not behind at the moment and Nico tends to have his issues, why chance it in this situation?

 

[DeadVols]

To be fair, we really just need to cut off the TE. Beck doesn't trust his WRs to do anything. Suffocate Delp in the second half.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We HAVE to come up with some sort of blitz scheme. No pressure at all

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

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.

100%

 

[lilesrt]

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

We shouldn’t have lost to Arkansas. If we don’t get it it’s because we deserved it. That game had to be won.

 

[vol94]

Our DL is getting dominated by their OL. He has plenty of time to throw

Time for Banks to earn that paycheck. It’s a chess match and Bobo is winning rt now.

 

[Golfprovol]

Gotta make those plays. I’m not bailing on anyone

You said get WR's who can catch.....certainly sounds like it

 

[vavolfan6]

Georgia isn't even trying to run it this game. They've had some success throwing, but free plays and penalties are assisting them greatly.

We are moving the ball well. Nico is making tight throws and we are converting well on 3rd and 4th down.

If we can stop giving Beck some momentum. Turn our heads around and get an INT, then I think Georgia could fold. Gotta find ways to get pressure on him though.

 

[saxvol]

Sadly we did not get the Ole Miss or Kentucky Georgia tonight.

 

[hUTch2002]

There has been 1 bad drop!!! Pay attention

2. Pay attention.

 

[ArmchairQB]

Halftime fun: I googled Carson Beck and Tom Petty and was not disappointed.

[VolsFan-TX]

Defense probably getting a proper tongue lashing in the locker room. They need to come out with their hair on fire in the 2nd half.

Hopefully, but why wouldn’t they have started that way?

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Nico

C/ATT	YDS	AVG	TD	INT
12/19	93	4.9	0	0

Carson

C/ATT	YDS	AVG	TD	INT
15/29	183	6.3	2	0

Just because Nico is not turning the ball over does not mean he is having a good game. Look at the stat difference between he & Carson at the half.

Look at Georgia’s pressure compared to ours. That’s the story Nico is playing fine

 

[VolCalls]

Good first half. I just want to keep it close so we stay in the playoff hunt. A score on the first drive would be huge.

 

[SamuraiVol74]

There has been 1 bad drop!!! Pay attention

No, derp, there have been 3 critical drops. 2 by Squirrel White and 1 by Thornton.
You pay attention....and learn how to watch football.

 

[Vol737]

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

In the worst way imaginable.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

One of GA's players is ...

Derp

I 100% thought it was Derp earlier in the game. Speaking of, they need to know where he is at all times.
