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

[VOLINVONORE]

Sure buddy.

I take that as a no.

 

[Butch s]

Is BRU playing

 

[mpfvol]

Heupel has to make some tough decisions... his close friends on the staff aren't getting it done.

I think some of it is him

 

[Sarms58]

Come on D…we need to keep them backed up…maybe get a defensive score

 

[nomads-11]

Defense still handing the game to the O. And they're struggling to get a first down.

 

[JRich]

 

[FLVOL_79]

Nico's confidence is shot

This. Dude don't seem to be able to recover from setbacks

 

[GoVols64]

Our O-Line and s officially exposed. They are getting no push and getting beat on a regular basis.

Nico isn’t him. Not this year. We may win this game, we may not. Either way the playoffs are not going to happen.

Not trying to be negative but 3 points is pathetic. We can’t do anything right and have given the Gators the confidence needed to win.

 

[patrick]

Run a counter on 1st down.

Run up the middle on 2nd down.

Then a play that wasn’t getting the 1st on 3rd down.

Elarbee sucks.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

I feel for the fans that paid an arm and a leg to watch this live. This is tough to watch.

 

[tomq_123]

I'm trying to remember the last time I was this angry watching a TN football game.....

I'm back to the 2000 SEC Championship game

Dooley, Butch and Pruitt say hi

 

[orangerush]

Pruitt’s offense scores more often.

 

[knoxchief]

I know they say Nico is our guy but if you can't trust him then replace him. Besides, we need 3 yards and throw a 1 yard pass. SMH

 

[ETV]

Paper tigers. So much hype for this O and constant nothing burgers to show

Chatt., NCSU and Kent St. may just be the Vols signature wins of the year.

 

[djohnnyg]

Guess we'll blame Nico for the blocking on that drive too

No...but for 2 turnovers...and 2 deep overthrows and about everything else.

 

[Carl Pickens]

The offense is playing like , but some of you turn on everyone except your mothers.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Earlier today it was said Heupel’s seat was the coldest in the SEC

 

[saxvol]

Something is off with this offense

 

[basspond]

Nico is not ready. He can keep blaming himself and be right and we'll lose the game. It's Heupel's job to recognize the problem and adjust.

 

[butler5]

We never can just line up against Florida and just whip them WHY!!!

 

[jmacvols1]

I’m gonna organize my sock drawer.

might as well organize your underwear while your at it....

 

[BeardedVol]

Vaunted Gators defense. Like Arkansas.

Remember, Arkansas is like 2 plays away from being undefeated.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

I'm trying to remember the last time I was this angry watching a TN football game.....

I'm back to the 2000 SEC Championship game

Really!? You’ve missed a lot of 2000s era TN football then, this is nothing

 

[chrisvannoy]

Regardless of the oline, Nico isn't ready. Put in someone else for a series or two and try to find a spark.

 

[Allvols98]

I'm gonna say this again. Imagine this offensive line without cade mays
