The Official #8 Tennessee vs. Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[VolFreakJosh]

It's not Nico. It's the Coaching..

Nico threw that into quad coverage.

That’s on him.

 

[zeppelin128]

This is the strangest Florida/Tennessee game I've ever attended.

@OrangeVolMan Tell me again how the fumble was the problem. Coaching sucks.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

If he trots Nico out there for our first drive then Heupel is clueless

He’s the only choice.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Josh should have called timeouts and would have had plenty of time to try to go down and at least get a field goal

Have you been watching.

 

[BeardedVol]

Like what freshman? Nico is still technically a freshman too.

He's been enrolled at UT since 12/16/2022.

There's zero excuses for him to be playing this poorly if the coaches are doing their jobs.

 

[Dro]

Really lucky that it is only 3 to 0 and hard to see how were going to score when our QB is playing like he is tonight. Throwing to a WR that had three defenders around him is not very smart.

2 overthrown touchdowns a hospital pass over the middle and a terrible pick. Heupel doesn't have the balls but he needs to sit this guy down.

 

[LIvol]

If he trots Nico out there for our first drive then Heupel is clueless

Please tell me who you are looking to trot out?

 

[MontyPython]

Stack the D box and overplay the run up the middle. Ain't rocket surgery.

Result: Heup can't / won't adjust.

Come on man.

 

[Cannot believe]

Why is this offense, so bad.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

For UF this game is a microcosm of the Billy Napier era.

For UT this game is a microcosm of the UF-UT series.

Ugliest half of football I can remember in a very long time.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

TN fans know better than anyone that is a 10 second run off. Sorry Billy. Come on boys get your **** together

 

[VolsSportsFan]

2 weeks in a row that we should be down by 17 or more points but the D has bailed us out over and over. It's just so disappointing and disgusting that our O can't do a DAMN thing. It's time to sit the $8 million dollar man down for a series or 3 and give Gaston a shot.

More like Billy Napier bailed us out. He's a freakin' idiot.

 

[LVol]

When’s basketball start?

Soon and I am ready

 

[VOLinAL]

Like what freshman? Nico is still technically a freshman too.

Johnny Manziel won a heisman as a RS Freshman. I don’t wanna hear the freshman talk.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Zero points in 1st half again, Heups offense is being dominated by SEC defenses now

 

[Matt2496]

We are literally a carbon copy of Iowa. Great defense, non-existent offense.

 

[hUTch2002]

This is why Napier is going to be fired. Gators have dominated the game and keep blowing it with a fumble at the 1 and with a substitution penalty. That kind of lack of attention to detail has been the problem with him since day 1.

You have to be feeling pretty good about where this game is going though. We’re making your D look like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.

 

[Dudleys87]

In other news I laugh every time Lincoln Riley loses.

Didn’t want any part of major conference football and the world is seeing why

 

[ETV]

UT has been saved by Napier’s 4th down play calling. UF fumble at the goal line.

Tennessee should be down by 2 or 3 scores.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

3-0 is strangely wonderful ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

 

[first time caller]

Thats not per year. Also how much are we paying the OLine?

More than I made in a lifetime

 

[Mustng959]

What about the overthrows and throwing into quadruple coverage????

And the fumbles .... Don't forget those.

 

[MrBiggles]

What a horrible half of football! Defense has kept them in this. Napier has helped too.

 

[fossilfiction]

@RDU VOL#14 Based on having eyes how about that. You think this is good coaching? Tell me where I was wrong from the jump. This is buttcheeks dude.
