The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Kent State Game Thread, 7:45 PM ET, SEC Network

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon Nico…no chances!

 

[25vol]

Imagine you’re the HC of KSU. It’s the 1st QR and you’re down 30-0. THERES STILL 3:00 on the clock!!

 

[VOL RN]

Let’s respect this team.

 

[Volsfannn]

Why the onside

 

[RDU VOL#14]

We need to be careful with that kind of stuff. Need to get out without injury.

My thought as well

 

[vavolfan6]

Opponents will hate Heupel for the onside kick, but its a unique mindset to not give a f*** and just step on everyone's throat. The mindset truckles down to the players..

 

[ItchyVols]

Go Vols!!

 

[LittleVol]

thats was bsh league, I don't like doing that

He’s keeping his team engaged

 

[87&91ALUM]

I am not sure i have ever seen a massacre like this in a football game in my entire life

Tennessee scored 101 twice…I looked it up. Breaking that record tonight!

 

[volbound1700]

But please stop Nico from running….

At this point, i am wondering if we should sit him in the 2nd quarter.

 

[NEO]

Oh he is so gonna try to kill OK.

That was a message.

 

[crawdaddyjc]

kent st left 25 yards wide open. kick the onside. F’em. and anyone who doesnt like it can kick rocks.

 

[TWVol]

They are getting paid over a million dollars. Nothing wrong with using them for practice.

 

[ItchyVols]

Could that have been the kicker’s decision?

[Jravol78]

Beautiful block then gone !

 

[NO SIR EEE]

So in football, if you see something, you exploit it no matter the score. A lot of you don’t seem to understand that, they noticed that Kent State had a hole on the kick return team and exploited it. It’s okay. If Kent State don’t like it or whomever else we play don’t like it, then stop it.

 

[volbound1700]

We should just play a game where if our offense doesn't score in 5 plays, Kent State gets the ball back.

 

[chattaboogie]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team score 30 in the first quarter before.

I vaguely remember us putting 35 on arky in the early 2000s but coulda been 28

 

[The Original Fade]

Yeah, not sure why we did it, I think it was just because they left it open.

Giving the rest of the teams on our schedule one more thing to have to prepare for. No problem with it

 

[JCHateSteve]

People mad that we're running the score up in the 1st quarter.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Can always count on Lampley to hold.

 

[Switch 625]

We need to be careful with that kind of stuff. Need to get out without injury.

Exactly. Kent St could start taking people’s knees or ankles

 

[vol_smoothie]

What is Heupel doing ?
That's classless on our part.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

That was about the most pathetic thing we could do

Yeah heaven forbid we practice a few things for real time game reps. How filthy of us.

 

[volmanbill]

I do not like that onside kick call up 30. Bad look

I don’t care so much about the look as much as now it’s on tape to prepare for.

I want UT to be intimidating.
