Unofficial Game Thread - Tennessee vs UK

[VOLanooga]

1996 to 2000, where we apparently scored on EVERY possession.

John Ward, Jefferson Pilot broadcast and the Big Orange dominating…those were the days!

This Kentucky offense isn't good enough for 366 yards. It's their 2nd best output of the year. We had two weeks to prepare again at home. We can be relieved we won, but acknowledge what we see is troublesome.


Southern Miss - 317
South Carolina - 183
Georgia - 284
Ohio - 488
Ole Miss - 336
Vanderbilt - 322
Florida - 311
Auburn - 224

I agree . . . To a certain extent. But this defense seems to always stand up and make big plays . . . At key moments. I know one can’t always depend on that . . .

I think last night - especially on their first big run - we saw the first signs of struggle without Pili. That play was on your linebackers. The loss of Pili will show up from time to time.

Having said that . . . We have to take care of business with MS . . . And have a first half where we score 17 or more to get that monkey off of our back . . . Because we will have to score 31 or more to beat UGA. We won’t hold UGA under 20 points. I think we probably will need 34 points to win that game.

We are a penalty prone team that is REALLY penalty prone on the road.

Besides Smith, Tennessee’s linebackers struggled again. It was the worst the Vols’ run defense has been all season and it’s certainly not all on the linebackers but it feels like Tennessee is really missing Keenan Pili.

PFF Grades: Kentucky at Tennessee | Rocky Top Insider

Check out the PFF grades from Tennessee football's victory over Kentucky on Saturday night at Neyland Stadium.

www.rockytopinsider.com

it was Nico Iamaleava’s best in his young career. The PFF grades saw it the best way, grading out the redshirt freshman quarterback as the Vols’ top player.

I was a bit surprised by four of Tennessee’s five lowest offensive grades coming from offensive lineman. Granted, they played seven offensive lineman in this game but the group still graded out poorly. One note on the offensive line grade, the pass block grades were generally a good bit better than the running grades.

Miles Kitselman had his worst game of the season two weeks ago against Alabama. He bounced back with a strong performance against the Wildcats while Holden Staes also had a nice game.

If JH does not get the first half scoring drought fixed, it is going to cost us a game or two.

I'll be shocked if we win this game.

I guess I'm shocked. We left 30 pts on the field. But, I'm happy we won. GBO.

Score Update: South Carolina is routing #10 Texas A&M 44-20. Ouch.

Needless to say, I am glad we are not playing USCjr this year.

This year in particular , SC is much better than their actual record.
