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

[FranklinVFL]

Can someone please tell me how they are just running up the middle on us at will??? I mean, go gosh the defense looks like they are the ones with all the injuries.

 

[UTFranklinVol]

So…someone said collar bone in another thread.

And someone at the game said Nico’s dad was heading to the locker room.

Well that would suck

 

[Voltopia]

What is with these dingbats going on about Mississippi State not going for 2, with over 20 minutes left in the game?

 

[RockyTop140]

Rushing defense has left the chat

 

[butler5]

No backer in the middle of the field is wild

 

[give_him 6]

Why not go for two and run it up the middle?

 

[BucksnortVol]

If we don't answer with a TD, then we're in trouble

 

[Roundman]

Is Banks awake?

 

[vol24/7/365]

We run Sampson to death when nico in, what's the difference now? Just asking

Pulling out all the stops. Seems like a good passer. Sampson hurt. And state would not expect it

[BeardedVol]

Losing to the worst team in the SEC is going to be a serious knock on Heupel.

 

[Vols919]

Yeah, that "holding opponent to below-20 points" defensive streak is getting snapped tonight.

 

[Kylo]

How about we put guys in the middle and make them actually try something else?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Right over #55 four T D

 

[volmoon]

Carving our defense

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

This game is going nuts

 

[Allvols98]

Why does it seem like every game is a mustard bottle game?

 

[vols 30]

It's just amazing how open the middle has been all night. No one is ever there

 

[Cartervol]

3 down linemen with the way they're gashing us.

 

[MeanOrange]

Way to go Banks. Keep playing 3 down linemen and see what happens to us.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

If they don’t fix that, Georgia will run it all day

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Defense interior line sucks tonight

 

[Grudenator]

Banks

What has happened to the alignment?

 

[UT97Vol]

Question.

Why do we only have five defenders in the box when State is obviously trying to run it all night? We only had six in the box in a 4th and 1 in the first half. What is the defense doing??

 

[hardyemt_p]

Gaston can sling it. Defense isn't up to snuff tonight

 

[GhostVol]

Missy St assumes that TN won't be able to score in the last quarter and a half so they go for the 1
