The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Mississippi State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN (hopefully it stays)

[loosecannon]

Missed block…

Block one guy and we get at least a 1st down if not a td

 

[ETV]

There is still zero excuse to lose this in the second half. Mississippi State is 2-7 (0-5)

Defense should keep their offense in check. They'll get some yards but I doubt they see the endzone again.

 

[tntornadox]

Does anyone understand how MSU's entire coaching staff could be allowed.on the field during live play without a flag being thrown?

They just had a sideline warning during this drive. Next one called is a penalty.

 

[GAVol]

What's the deal? Did he get injured? I haven't seen any of the game.

The working theory is that he took a hit at the end of the half and he’s concussed.

 

[gm1ll]

Took a bad tackle towards the end of the first half.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

That’s a big three points in a game like this where you’re just trying to survive

Yes after losing your starter. YUGE!

 

[GhostVol]

Redshirting

Can play 4 games before using redshirt

How many has he played?

 

[25vol]

Crossing my fingers right now that Nico is not out for the season. I really really hope this is just being cautious.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Gonna need Gilbert here. Win it

 

[robbymoore94]

I’ll give him this, Gaston Moore is not afraid to sling it. I’m not sure that’s a good thing just yet lol. However, it has worked thus far.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Kid has been in this system for 6 years

I’m aware.

 

[therealitytheory]

Crazy but it appears we've opened up the entire playback sans Nico.

 

[RockyTop140]

Still don’t get the Nico injury unless it’s a concussion? He walked off just fine on that last play.

It was something with his right arm. He landed on it and I coukd tell by the way he walked back

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Terrible play call!!

Play call was fine. Execution was terrible. If WR make the block its first down and maybe 6.

 

[BJSforVols]

Still don’t get the Nico injury unless it’s a concussion? He walked off just fine on that last play.

He looked like he was favoring his right arm when he walked off to me.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

100% Nico has a shoulder injury.

 

[purp]

He looked like he was favoring his right arm when he walked off to me.

He looked woozy to me.

 

[Vol_guy]

Need to rest Sampson for the rest of this game.

 

[901 Orange]

that was a touchdown lol! Our two receivers whiffed terribly. This is execution not play calling.

Yea the other 2 DB'S were at least 15 yards away. If just 1 of the 2 WR's pick up that block it's 6

 

[GhostVol]

There's a flag for the chirping....

Or not

 

[loosecannon]

Terrible call on 3rd. At least we got points tho

? Perfect call. We three to a 3 on one advantage with our best player. We had two guys to block 1 and we messed it up. That was just terrible execution.

 

[G0V0LS33]

I’m guessing they noticed something at half

When they say head injury, it could have been plays before and when he settled down at half got sick because a concussion can cause that. To me when he walked off he looked like he was gonna puke

 

[vol24/7/365]

Damn was max drunk last week? He nailed that one

Someone told me was sick last week. Explains alot

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Why is Miss State so chirpy? We’re not rivals.

 

[kiddiedoc]

That FG would have been good from 60
