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

[MeanOrange]

Let's see if Banks grew a brain after that TD. Four or 5 down linemen. Three is not working.

 

[VOLinAL]

looks like Nico has problems grasping the offense. Moore looks more confident back there than Nico does

I have thought this all season. Makes sense since he’s been in the offense 5 years. He just unfortunately decided to throw a horrible INT during his one time to shine. He’s not as talented but I believe he understands the offense more than Nico at this point.

 

[BucksnortVol]

Nico out, so all in for Gaston. He's waited for his chance... he can do it.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

No one really knows what Nico's injury is. Nothing official has been reported. Everyone's guessing.

 

[BP4Prez]

I don't think it's a "concussion" looked more like bruised ribs.

He’s not staying in the locker room for bruised ribs. He took a shot on a pass right at the end of the half. Where he was rolling to the right. Concussion makes sense for him not to be on field

 

[BradstarVols]

Sampson needs to be done for tonight. Lewis rest of the way.

 

[Cartervol]

So.. Can we put more guys in the box to stop their only play now?

 

[Zues1]

You can't be serious ?

He's serious. Offense looks fluid right now

 

[25vol]

Because our QB was injured. He threw for over 170 in the first half.

He was not injured the entire first half. We were getting stuffed running the ball a multiple times in the first half. It’s just confusing to me that Heupel is more willing to push the ball down the field when Gaston is in.

 

[LittleVol]

Tim Banks let's make adjustments here. Same running play over and over. In CHRIST Alone

That 3-3-5 we’ve been running has been giving up huge yardage. Our guys can’t find their fits

 

[tntornadox]

Moore doesn’t scare me throwing the ball that much more than Nico. He’s serviceable. Heup isn’t afraid to let him pass. Let’s GO!

His passes are usually on point and he is looking composed even with pressure. I like what I see, honestly.

 

[kiddiedoc]

You know why smarta$$

Because it's football and I'm not a sissy?

Dude is a tank and strikes fear into defenses.

 

[901 Orange]

The passing opened up holes for the run game. Why couldn’t we call plays like this in the first half?

Having Gaston out there is like having a coach on the field. You can call it a little differently with him. This dude been in the same system for like 6 years. If he doesn't know the offense inside and out nobody does.

 

[I40VOL]

I said since day 1 seldon is more of a linebacker build than running back

Fulmer made a living on recruiting rb’s then moving them to lb, time change I guess, kids just leave

 

[BP4Prez]

Sampson needs to be done for tonight. Lewis rest of the way.

We are only up 2 scores

 

[rocketskates]

Let's see if Banks grew a brain after that TD. Four or 5 down linemen. Three is not working.

I’d just stack the box and bring it. Take Booth out of the game and make Van Buren beat you.

 

[onevol74]

I am more concerned about the way our defensive tackles are getting avoided than I am about the injuries.

 

[ftsandersvol]

I don't think it's a "concussion" looked more like bruised ribs.

That’s what it looked like to me too.

 

[BJSforVols]

Sampson needs to be done for tonight. Lewis rest of the way.

Defense needs to step up first.

 

[LittleVol]

Gaston

Bro, you're dumb

has looked more than serviceable

 

[GhostVol]

Just missed a pick...

 

[hjeagle1vol]

Shaping up great for Vols back-up QB to whip UGA ass…we’re due on that one

 

[Volsfannn]

What? Are you insane? He's our only offense.

How many carries thus far? 28? Want to run him completely down before the Georgia game? Not insane at all. He's not 100%, you can tell in between plays

 

[BeardedVol]

T

I don't think it's a "concussion" looked more like bruised ribs.

I wonder if he didn't dislocated a rib.

Painful as all hell and makes breathing excruciating right after it happens.

"WHY DIDN'T TENNESSEE GO FOR TWO!?" - ESPN guys, probably.

We are up by more than 2 td's
