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

[MeanOrange]

Gaston Moore didn't move the ball against NC State

Nico is doing nothing so a change might help. At least, get Nico attention that he is sucking.

 

[rocketskates]

If we lose this game it’s almost worse because of the stupid decisions that Sun Belt Billy has made. Hes a moron and he’s still beating us.

 

[Cartervol]

This game feels like every other UF game ever

 

[Gandalf]

Texas gets Arch friggen MANNING

and we get

Nico

But then, Texas is actually protecting Arch so he is not getting run over every time and losing his confidence.

 

[AllVols]

Total replay of last week. Our defense saves a blowout and keep us in the game. Nico needs to write every D player a 5k check

I concur 100%

 

[Big Orange Rock]

While the two holding penalties were by the letter of the law correct we see every week our guys getting raped and it is never called. I don’t understand. Not blaming the refs but those calls were very big. Seems they always call them on us right when we are getting something going.

 

[Dudleys87]

The season is essentially over if we lose tonight.

They’ve referenced that many times already. Tennessee loses and they might as well call it extra practice.

 

[orange_glory]

BENCH NICO NOW.

Hype is too loyal and family oriented. He needs to learn when u punish bad behavior the younger siblings learn from this as does the player

 

[Vol4Life2289]

If we lose to Florida at home, under Napier, does the rest of the season really matter?

Nope. The season was essentially over after the loss last week. Beating everyone else except Bama and Georgia would have probably kept us out of the playoffs.

 

[loservol]

Still believe this is not the Hot Seat Bowl?

 

[Allvols98]

Starting to wonder if Nico is just pressing to much.like it's in his head. You see his frustration on missed passes.

 

[orangerush]

Ever heard of other freshman in the SEC doing amazing things? Johnny Manziel or Tua Tagovailoa ring a bell? Maybe Nico just doesn't have the "it" factor.

It’s clear he’s not a freshman sensation. Heup put all his eggs in Nico’s basket so we live and die on his performance. It’s not a great strategy.

 

[floridavol25]

The problem is you think they can't be worse, but they probably are. We have a walk on and a true freshman.

At least it would show that we are trying something .. trotting Nico back out as he continues to not get the job done doesn’t pass the mustard

 

[Butch s]

We need to flip Nash Christian Qb Jared Curtis. How the hell did we not lock this kid up

 

[posivol]

dont even feel good about the 2nd half....just stunned

 

[hardyemt_p]

30 minutes to make any kind of effort on offense

 

[Ratvol]

God.

Is awesome

 

[Volhoops]

Texas gets Arch friggen MANNING

and we get

Nico

Arch is a play maker. Nico is not

 

[volfanhill]

White has said CJH is the only coach that was offered the job. Are you saying he is lying?

That was said about Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt. Did you believe it then?

 

[vavolfan6]

At what point is it acceptable to expect an SEC QB to be able to handle playing in the SEC?

His junior year?

Sure, maybe junior year. But, it doesn't matter to me at the moment. I just don't see Nico as the main culprit for our offensive woes. The OLine has been abysmal and gets the offense out of rythm every time they get rolling.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I picked us in a tight one 20-16. Honestly that seems insurmountable right now lol. But you never know I guess.

 

[basspond]

Call golesh also

Yep. You're right. That would be the smarter call.

 

[carolinaviking]

TN will win this game 13-10

Raise your hand if you were thinking this very thing after the first half against Arkansas. I was. And so it seems was CJH and QBNI.

 

[ETV]

“High powered offense” …

Is it too late to go back to FCS?

 

[djohnnyg]

Only reason Nico is still in the game is cuz of the $$$ he's making. Any other fbs school would bench his ass.
