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

[brubaker]

Signing off for the night . I bet we get a pick six before the end of game. Go Vols

 

[volbound1700]

Miss State is bad on defense guys. Not a true test for Moore.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

As the backup, isn't that his job? To manage the game when the starter goes down?

That’s the best case scenario bud. Idk if you’ve ever seen what a bad back up does.

 

[VawlDave]

So what if Nico is out next and we keep it close with a defensive battle and then he comes back and we are 10-2 with one loss of the losses without our QB1 could be a tipping factor in getting us in the playoffs..

This scenario actually might be wildly fortunate for us.

 

[Voltopia]

I honestly don’t think it’s that big of a fall off from Nico. Obviously gotta see more series but…..yeah.

I think we would see a more dramatic difference in the "fall off" if we were playing against a deeper and more talented/athletic SEC defense, and I think some of these passes we're seeing would have a higher chance of being picked off.

The Starkvillers do not have a good defense.

 

[Grudenator]

Ok....ask UGA how many points Miss state scored on them.

I ain’t worried about what other teams our doing, that’s loser mentality. One game at a time

mom jeans

Not my Mom's

 

[C-south]

Moore and Gilbert can finish this game for sure but come on. Nico is the starter for a reason

So was Milton before he got hurt and hooker took over.

 

[Swiftybaby]

Against a 2-7 team lol

 

[84Volfan]

Me too. I’m a little concerned that Nico isn’t at least on the sideline though.

If its concussion protocol no way in hell they bring him back with all of our light shows, fireworks, and crowd noise

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I didn’t say that - I just said I don’t see much of a drop off. But it doesn’t matter, we ain’t beating Georgia. It’s a bad matchup

Good god . I can’t with these people

 

[Proud Army Wife]

They can’t figure it out. Watch after the game you’re gonna see threads about how Gaston should be starting.

Gaston gives me hope that we would be ok if we lose Nico, but no one in their right mind should think he should be the starter lol. This is Volnation though and you just know it’s coming.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

They can’t figure it out. Watch after the game you’re gonna see threads about how Gaston should be starting.

Just 59 minutes ago you were crying “we’re gonna LOOSE this game” in this exact thread. Now your on the bus calling negavols idiots. A few personalities I see.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Gaston has about 7 years with this offense, Nico 2

Gaston will be fine if he's gonna be #1

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Florida State is about to be 1-9……..and sticking with their coach

Love it.

 

[Sarms58]

Miss State is bad on defense guys. Not a true test for Moore.

But a good game for him to play - especially if Nico is out next week

 

[Swiftybaby]

I agree. I think even without Nico, sound defense,a good running game and a few big throws by Moore would get it done against just about anyone.

All day

 

[TheVolunteer002]

We're up by 3 touchdowns. Stfu

You've been running your suck all night trying to find somebody on here to argue with. Take your own advice and apply it.

 

[KeyVol14]

Worried about the run defense..They need to shore that up before next week.

 

[Mccage]

Play calling hasn’t been good tonight on offense or defense. Why did Sampson have 20 carries in the first half?

lol…man we have some smart fans!!

 

[captainsword]

If he doesn’t come back we could get Florida Stated

 

[Vol865]

As the backup, isn't that his job? To manage the game when the starter goes down?

Sure. Yet the same people who say how great Gaston is doing, when it's not really a lot, crucify Nico for every mistake, even the ones that aren't his fault.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Against a 2-7 team lol

You may want to check the scores of the ga and Texas a and m games

 

[BJSforVols]

I think we would see a more dramatic difference in the "fall off" if we were playing against a deeper and more talented/athletic SEC defense, and I think some of these passes we're seeing would have a higher chance of being picked off.

The Starkvillers do not have a good defense.

I wonder how he will look when he has less time to make decisions. I fear that may be where we see the separation between Nico and Moore.

 

[ftsandersvol]

I, for one, am glad we have a back-up QB like Moore.
