Really need to score 1st possession of the 2nd half.

 

[hUTch2002]

Kelly sounds shook. We have to set the tone when we get the ball in the second half

He’s been our best player!

 

[Volfan2012]

Alright guys. 23-7 and we need to be happy. We are beating a ranked LSU team in Death Valley at the half. We’ve looked decent and have capitalized on LSU mistakes. Could we have played better, sure. Let’s hope Hooker is all systems go in the second half.

I'm happy and 14 more Tennessee Points and I get extremely happy.

We score after the half, it will break him.

 

[tnvols72]

tell you how bad our secondary is AR has 46 yards in the 1st half and Fla has 3 1st downs

 

[joevols89]

Why? Thought he’s actually played well today. Honest question to what you’re seeing.

Yeah he hasn’t played bad. Bad placement on the pass to him at the end. Would’ve been a hell of a catch.

Score 7 after half and it’s hard for LSU to come back from 30-7

 

[BP4Prez]

Wondering how much Hooker is off bc of that hit he took

Don’t think we will see Sampson back out there after that.

3 score ball game at the half. An opening drive TD would be huge!

 

[Vol737]

I feel like I’m not drinking enough to properly help our team succeed.

Do better then!

 

[Jxn Vol]

He is no Stocker, Rivera, and definitely no Witten.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Yep no doubt. We gonna need 35 or 38 to win this

I beg to differ. If lsu score as many in the second half as they did the first then we would only need 15, which we have eclipsed.

If we hit 35 before LSU that'll be the game.

in my non professional opinion, we just have to score a TD or equivalent in the second half to win. A TD after half puts it out of reach but to win you just need as said.

 

[Rockytoptalker]

LSU’s come back and won two games against SEC opponents in which they were down 17-0 and 13-0…

Maybe it’s my BVS acting up, but I’m still a little concerned about this one because of that. I hope we can come out and put a touchdown on the board and ease some of my doubts

 

[VOLnMiami]

We need to hammer them in the 2nd half...Seems we played conservative for a lot of the first half...Was like we know we can run on them so lets do that for awhile....If Hendon opens it up then its gonna get really fun in the 2nd half.

 

[DocVol]

Second half of the game will tell the tale of the second half of the season.

Prevent D and squeak out a win and we have no shot at competing either Alabama and GA. Pour on more steam and keep that defensive monster rolling and we are IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL!

 

[OrangeTsar]

We score after the half, it will break him.

I am going to stay nervous even if we do. LSU has a couple of big comebacks this year
The one thing that keeps giving me hope this season is the way this team doesn’t let a setback get them down. Mentally, this team is light years ahead of any UT team in a looong time. And that’s good coaching. And good locker room leadership

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I'm afraid Hendon's playing hurt again. What a warrior. Go Vols! Go Hendon!

Time for chili.

 

[Jauan't Some?]

LSU 38 Rush Yds…

 

[AntiochVol81]

I mean if we can get off the field on 3rd down this game is no contest..FLA isn’t good and neither is LSU

 

[etcolton]

Why? Thought he’s actually played well today. Honest question to what you’re seeing.

What game are you watching? He dropped a pass 15 yards down field, wide open as can be. The end of the Florida game it’s 4th and 3. He runs a 2 yard out to give Florida the stop. Constant drops, never had any production. There’s a reason why he’s played linebacker, tight end, rb etc. we cannot figure out where he belongs on the field

 

[DaddyChad]

I’m not sure that this isn’t one of the worst secondaries in the country. Our Dline is actually pretty good and would be more dominant if they had some coverage.

Against who? That's all you have to ask yourself.

 

[GoVols64]

No, totally agree. I think he’s solid but definitely not an elite pass catcher. I still miss watching Witten play.
