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

[PA Vol]

We finally have a defense and this is the trash offensive product we get.

 

[solivols]

What are you watching? Outside of the botched fumble

I think he’s watching some terrible offense like the rest of us.

 

[volfan411]

Nico has to learn this isn’t high school. He has to get rid of the ball.

 

[LIvol]

I am not sure what you do with Lance Heard but he whiffs or gives a first step block and then gives up on the play

 

[Dergibvol]

Heard is gassed after 15 plays. That hold he wasn't even trying to block. Lazzzzzy

 

[Zues1]

I’m seeing this more as the OL fault, supposed to have been a strength

We hear that about the Oline every year.
Every year same crap

 

[casetopia]

hurry up is gassing our oline more than the defense.

 

[Kylo]

I'm not sure that this won't turn out exactly like the Arkansas game. Ugly throughout and choke at the end.

 

[Mbarton36]

Ticket prices for next weeks game continue to slide

 

[vols 30]

3rd and long. Anyone want to guess what's next?

 

[Boston Vol]

I’ve defended Elarbee, but it’s getting really hard to do so.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Nico is not him. He is a deer in the headlights. Joe 2.0

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

Heard shouldn’t be in the field

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Nico does not see the field well. If first option not available he doesn’t know what to do.

 

[MeanOrange]

Our OL sucks but Nico doesn't know what to do under pressure.

He holds the ball way to long to go trough his reads.

 

[TikiVol]

This offense is worse than last year against even bad SEC teams. Gonna be a long season. There is no home field advantage w Lance Heard.

 

[JRich]

Heard needs to be riding the pine.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Nico hasn’t been good but the OL isn’t helping

 

[Other_Guy]

They are blitzing.

There was a late LB blitz. Arkansas did it too. They're awful.

 

[KeyVol14]

I just dont know why I do this to myself. Already know the result but continue to think that we just might turn a corner. OL sucks, Nico sucks, JH sucks. They all suck.

Why is it Nico's fault when he gets sacked. He's rolled out and picked up would be first downs but his tackles get called for holding

 

[Vol8188]

My last comment to your punk and clown slurping.

Interesting in my panic I stated last week that the Vols were unprepared and overlooked Arky.

Heupel stated he didn’t expect the defense he saw.

Post Arky game, Sampson said the Vols were lackadaisical in their practice leading up to Arky.

Pound sand.

lol “punk and clown slurping”. Can anyone translate that? I don’t speak middle school

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Keep throwing n the short 10-15 yard passes before you go for the bomb. We just do not have the ability to block for 3 seconds.

Yea can't block long enough.

 

[BallinVol]

Heard should've been a 1 star as much as he takes plays off. Unbelievable

 

[landscapingvol]

I’m seeing this more as the OL fault, supposed to have been a strength

It is, both tackles are drive killers either giving up a sack or holding. Heard needs to be benched

 

[Orange931]

If our offensive line coach has a job after this year I’d be shocked.

It’s Heupels buddy, prepare to be shocked.
