So you’re saying there’s a chance?

I'm feeling better about it.

Why not have boo Carter back on that kick?

He'd let it bounce

Sorry

Why not have boo Carter back on that kick?

That was my strategy as well. Would have been epic to see him try.

 

[first time caller]

chew their asses coach. get them fired up. vols can still win this game!!

Chew the damn coaches out as well

 

[adam.vol]

Heupel was rope-a-doping. Sampson will come out fresh in the second half (I wish).

“Fresh” off an injection.

 

[rocketskates]

why wasnt boo back in the endzone

I agree. What’ve you got to lose there?

 

[patrick]

Vols needs to get their collective heads right - Oline, linebackers, DBs (and their coaches) need to to sack up.

We get the ball to start the 3rd. If we score — the game is on.

If we don’t score and the red team scores I think the game gets out of reach.

 

[CPVOL]

What IF, and I mean IF……Heupel is resting Dylan just to let him loose in the second half? I know I know it’s a big IF but stranger things have happened

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but, we need to come out and pound pound pound it up the middle until something opens up outside.

 

[perico]

Telander is lost out there in coverage.

He’s just not an elite talent. Solid enough but not going to put fear into a competent offense.

 

[wmcovol]

He's had some bad throws, but quarterbacks do that. He's also willed then into this game. His line was getting him killed first quarter. I just hate how whenever it's going badly people automatically post trash about Nico. It's lazy. He's far from perfect but he wasn't the only reason we were down 21-0.

Nico has been running for his life every play. The LOS on both sides got dominated & Kelly schooled the hell outta Banks that half

 

[Cartervol]

That freaking far mask and the no calls on Ohio State or this thing is TIGHT!

You surprised?

 

[Allvols98]

Feed Lewis the ball.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Why not have boo Carter back on that kick?

Not a bad thought. Be like Davis for auburn in the iron bowl

 

[DD4ME]

17 - 21 has a good ring to it.

 

[Swiftybaby]

Nico growth this game

Wasted genius

 

[Vawlk Tuah]

We have a chance but it would be a miracle almost worth putting into the bible if we hold Ohio State scoreless next half. Honestly think they put themselves in too big a hole to dig out of but we will see

 

[Memphisvol87]

He'd let it bounce

Sorry

The play he let it bounce on was surrounded by Ohio state players. Why even risk the whiff over 5-10 yards

 

[Vol4LIFE85]

Well they weathered the storm and we get the ball to start the 2nd half. A FG or TD puts us within striking distance. Win 2 quarters and you move on! Go Vols!

 

[fossilfiction]

Not even going to lie, I have not been invested in a game like this in long time.

 

[Sarms58]

Won the 2Q, somehow.

**** Ryan Day and eat his lunch. Saying to knock out Nico, ****ing 3rd base bitch.

lol! He said they need to knock the line of scrimmage back…

 

[MDsweetT]

Did I hear Day right??

You did…time to show em this second half. For as AWFUL as the start was we’re only down 11. Must score drive out of the half

 

[DD4ME]

I think Sampson is legit sick. He looks puny.

 

[Voltopia]

I'm glad Ryan Day is dumb enough to not realize he has two or three outstanding receivers and try the Hail Mary.

He clearly thought "we're up, let's try this kick and go in with this lead."

I am very glad he felt that way.
