GBO! If we are bereft of QB and OT play, hoo boy.

YouTube TV forced me to watch the end of Miami/Louisville.

Well this looks familiar. :banghead:

Did Kitselman think he'd bought a ticket? What was he doing?

At least Bama didn't go on a 9+ minute drive their opening possession.

The crowd has them rattled. Now if we can just quit shooting ourselves in the foot. :mad:

Their QB's crutch is #2

Terrific start defensively. Hopefully the offense can give fans a reason to cheer.

happy feet

Nico has time

ne's off and maybe a quarter count late
On the last pass Brazzwell got going late

That should have been an obvious review.

Sheesh. If they hadn't stopped to review that, we would KNOW the fix is in. :frown:

Pirate's correct. Williams will end up with 80% of Milroe's targets.

WOO! :clap:

Great block by Thomas on the return

I think Nico needs to see a shrink. He wasn't missing like this early on.

hustling by many

His misses haven't been close.

Simons makes up for the offsides with excellent penetration to force that TFL

I don't like that turrentine is in the game, rather have the assassin, Thomas in

Thornton was in for Bru the last series
Looked confused at X
He is more comfortable at the moment at Y
He has jumped Mathews at the first B/U for Bru this week

We are just botching on execution too many times.  Missed throws, missed catches, etc.  

Our art is a liability
Can't block unless he holds

Heard playing ok

Hopefully Nico is o.k., but this is interesting.

Never showed a replay here

100%

Nico came out of the tent and put his helmet back on
During the last play

Nico throwing behind the bench

Yeah, it's really not. :banghead:

That was suboptimal.

Dot!  :powert:

Wow! A holding flag on bammer! I hope everyone is recording this historic event.

Great stand. I was waiting for the hold to be on us.

Worst pull ever by Campbell

Throw the fizzleing ball away Nico!

agreed

Our QBs need to take the Hippocratic Oath.

On the last completion to Bru Cam gave Nico just enough time to get outside from a free rusher

With Nico but right now he is a head case. Awful :banghead:

Jail house blitz with man behind

Three turnovers (including 2 in the red zone) and countless disastrous penalties. How are we only down 7?

Noise 

OL blocking  bad

Pearce was singaling a hamy

That is being kind

Tony hyping the crowd

everything that can go wrong on Offense is going wrong.  This is fizzleing frustrating to watch.  Our O is trying to kill our D

The D line playing well
Tyre West with a nice play
Both ends crashed hard

Nice timing on the TO :naughty:

A little trickeration that time with a stunt

Nico almost fizzleed up again
He thought about throwing g it up as he was going down

This is brutal.

I would complain about that BS spot on 4th down, but they didn't score, and we probably would've just turned it over anyway. :banghead:

Nico is 100% rattled
How do we get him to settle down
A few easy passes to start off the season with some easy passes

That spot was terrible. I don't think they gained an inch.

IMO looking through the binocs, he didn't make it

It did allow the QB to get hit a couple more times though

It was pretty terrible, and by the time we got the ball, we had lost some time.

Mostly outstanding play by the defense being wasted by the offense.  That has to change.

Having to listen to the $800K band before we get to the Tennessee Circle Drill

How many targets other than Williams occurred
Maybe 2?

Payment made and accepted.  Bama couldn't cash it in though.

Since UT deferred to the second half?.should we elect to kick instead?

Tennessee Circle Drill!

they won the toss and took the ball to start
So we get the ball first this half

All this time we've been saying, "just give us a decent defense to go with this offense, and the sky is the limit". Well, this defense is better than decent. This is a championship-level defense. So of course the offense has now gone MIA. :banghead:

First time in at least 12 years they changed it
Looked good

That is a damn good question the way things are going.

I noted the difference too.   :thumbup:

Nice play by the gunner

Ross and Salansky (I think) putting in work

A Carter with 3 bad plays in a row

Playing 3 LBs and two not playing well

Shaking head here boss

I know they're trying to keep him healthy, but I think a few designed runs for Nico could loosen up the defense. Assuming he holds on to the damn ball.

Outstanding job by Nico using his legs twice

I think that pass to Staes was tipped at the line, which would've negated the PI. Oh well, no complaints. :naughty:

Finally, signs of life in the offense

in reality, he was held before the pass

I thought it was an iffy PI call as well.

False start Bama, not offsides

Heup was very unhappy

Uh oh. McCoy may our sole irreplaceable guy.

McCoy not moving well coming off the field

Gibson to left corner
Curate in at RX

McCoy was back in the last play but Gibson stayed at LC and had GREAT coverage!

What Kiffin-esque garbage is this?

Davis in at RT

Be nice to see some urgency

Anything on TV about Squirrel?

!!!!!!

That entire play was designed to get the ball to Thornton
Nice throw and catch

McMurray in for Gibson

Gibson back in

Growing on me

Vinnie, ya wearing orange?

Big time hold by 74

man hug and a pin

Nice wedge

We were running all young receivers and it cost us

Also Brazzwell has regressed

Ross is having a nice game.

Stupid unforced errors are killing us.

Best receiver group at the moment is Bru, Nimrod and Thornton

With Gibson out McCoy is matched up with Williams all over the field
McMurray is the other corner

Good field position let's take advantage of of it!

Pili
Has been working g the defensive huddles
Currently hyping the D on the bench

Davis still in at RT

Catch?

No doubt

What 10EC said

Great throw. Great catch.

What a throw and hell of a catch!
I retract my earlier comment

Pirate.. atmosphere = 2022?

This crowd to their coaches comments PERSONALLY!

I'm finding it a bit difficult to speak at the moment myself

Pretty sure those comments were fake. Though no one in Knoxville was very eager to debunk them. :naughty:

Campbell was back in that series and it showed

saw video of one of them

McCoy out

Apparently there is a limit of 1 hold g call per game on the OL

Brazzell had a face mask against him as he made that TD catch.  No flag.

Boo needs to chill. He got VERY lucky right there.

Driving down a backwoods Tennessee highway.....

Pirate... can you take a video and post the post game?

Go.Big.Stinking.Orange!

Amazing game. To play that poorly on offense in the first half and still win.... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :powert:

It's GREAT to be a Tennessee VOL!

Now that was a good win. Anytime you don't play your best and still beat Bama is a great day. Way to go Vols! Thanks for the in game posts you guys. I was watching on my phone at a wedding. These folks in South Dakota just don't get the third Saturday in October. But they do have SDSU. A great FCS school.
