I'm headed to the hinterlands momentarily and will miss the game. GBO!

Today is my first game (one of only two planned) not in the stadium

That's quite good. I'm in Utah for a preexisting event.

You must be in Utah for a while. We don’t play UGA for like 6 weeks. :biggrin:

 :dielaughing:

Nice first D series
True Fr should have had the pick
But a good sign

NICE pass, right in stride, over the top for a TD!
Better pass than the 75 yard TD last week to Payton
and off play action

MVP of that defensive series was the yellow hanky
Got to tighten up that zone coverage

Great start!

They are going FAST!

Mizzou SUCKS against the run

I would say the Mizzou run D is butter, but that would be an insult to butter.

More like melted butter.   :naughty:

92 yards!

What's our longest run ever?

We might be scoring too quickly. With this third TD the offense has only been on the field for a little over 2 minutes. The defense has been on the field for about 10 minutes.  :wow:

Kelsey Finch’s 99-yard run at Florida on Oct. 22, 1977.

Well there you go. Can't say that I remember that one. Didn't Gray have a 90+ yarder at Vandy last year?

So the annoucner says "Banks is running like a running back".  Yeah.  Because, you know, he was.   :naughty:

I know SECN announcers suck in general, and that we are getting the D or E team, but come on.  Can't they do a LITTLE research? 

Whatever it was pretty funny.

Gray's run is the second longest. 94 yards.

Anderson's call:  They are going to kill him if they keep piling on him

I was saying the same thing

1st and goal at the one yard line. 

I wonder if we can get it in?

 :rotfl:

Our 4 offensive drives have been for about 3:30

Interesting stat:  Tennessee has  average 2 points per play in the 1st :wow: :thumbup:

That's a forgotten name from the past. Remember him well.

The first two TDs by Evans, he was UNTOUCHED

That seems sustainable. We're going full Jack Pardee today. :dance:

Definitely a time to "put on more steam".  Lots of time left in this one.

D is getting tired. Maybe going under center and taking our time on this possession wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Too late. 3rd and 12 and we get a touchdown. I guess if we score every time we can outlast them  :laugh:

 :dielaughing:

Its like watching a practice with most of the skill players wearing green jerseys

Love it.  Vols have needed this for a long time.  A LOOONNNNGGGG time.  :nod:

It's almost like their defense is pissed at their coaches for some reason and decided to tank it today out of protest. That's how it looks. :dunno:

Reminder that there are two teams out there that Mizzou actually beat. :inughout:

I don't mind that ruling at all.

Now we can run more clock.   :dielaughing:

Like I said. Just score every time and there's nothing to worry about.    :thumbup:

That was a TD the first time. Not that it matters. The long review gave our D some extra rest anyway. :laugh:

Before that drive we had 5 TDs and 1 first down, I think.

Hooker is 7/8 today, and the one miss came on an obvious uncalled hold on a deep route that probably would've gone for a TD.

I just can't get my head around the SEC having teams as bad as Vandy and Mizzou. You would think they could get "some" talent recruiting wise. Pathetic. But these things go in cycles. The "haves" are getting most all the talent. The "have nots" are getting worse year by year.

No TD on that drive. Fire everybody.

It's more than just those two.  Kentucky almost lost to CHATTANOOGA at home!  Probably would have without a really bad noncall PI that led to a Kentucky pick 6.  Auburn just barely survived GSU, and there was a bad call in that game also.

The top 2-3 in the SEC are very good, and the next couple can hold their own, but there are some bad teams also.  SEC has never been a top to bottom conference, or rarely is. It's always the top teams that make it dominant.

Our kicker has been shaky.  He needed a rep.   :dance:

There is a good chance you see Auburn start to slide quickly as well
Things are not well on the Plains

Time of possession:

Missouri: 18.09

Tennessee: 11:51

The biggest chunk of that for UT came in the last drive.

If you just looked at Mizzou's yardage you'd think they were doing pretty well... That yardage is typical for a half. I guess we have a QB now?

We are winning the penalty battle also.  Mizzou has like 8, I don't think we have a single one yet.  This is a big improvement for Vols, we have had way too many, particularly against gators last week.   :clap:

Another good rep for our kicker

Well, we can get more rest for our defense.  :rolleyes:

I did say Auburn might be worse than advertised.  I agree things may go farther south down there.

The caveat is that let's see what their new QB does against his former team.  I think Nix was a huge part of the Auburn issues not only this season but the last two.  I watched the highlights of the GSU game, Nix just flat out suxed. Looked like JG at his worst (well almost his worst).  Auburn settled for 4 FGs in the first half that should have been at least two TDs had Nix not missed wide open WRs in the end zone.

Think they will be much better with TJ going forward, but we will see.

shizzle.  Special teams have been a bright spot. No excuse for that!

But at least our offense can run more clock and rest the D, right? 

3rd and 18. No problem. Touchdown!  :hi5:

"I'm sad". :dielaughing:

Very nice throw as well

Excellent throw.

A lot of people have been down on Hooker, but I think he's a gamer.  We are probably fortuante to have him at this point.

So does Milton get some reps now?

I'll take some icing on that cake.   :naughty:

I don't get the criticism, honestly. He's not a Heisman candidate by any stretch of the imagination, but he can be a serviceable QB. He looked very sharp today. It helps that he wasn't having to worry about getting hit, but still...

Hooker is plenty good enough to get us to a bowl game, which is the goal for this season.

Serviciable is about right, though I am bit higher on him than that.  He does well enough, particularly running the ball, but I like his attitude and vibe.  This  guy trying to win, not playing scared.  We have had way too much of playing scared the last 3-4  years.
