Let's hold them below 50.

Let’s score 63

Let's catch 1) force punts and 2) catch them.

he just muff it?

How loud does it sound on TV?

Not a good start
Looked like Cade’s left knee

How do we not spy Corral on 3rd and long?

Theory: our players aren't used to this environment and are a tad too juiced.

Very pleased with the D so far though

3 plays TD!
Weathered the storm

Aaaaand a three man rush gets a sack on 3rd and 20.  Wright had some issues.

Carvin should have had a personal foul on the sack
He did a flop after the play on a DL

Banks was out on their TD slung an old piss player down after the play before

Davis seems to be having it rough at RT.

I’ve had it with these fizzleing SEC IMCOMPETENT, CORRUPT REFS!!!! :bird:

Getting whipped at right tackle.  We can't run to that side now either.

Cooper out, Cade out, and we were thin on the OL when the season started.  

Not having Evans in the backfield is also a big setback, imo.

Add to that, Corral is killing us with his legs.

Lets GO VOLS!!!!

Corral was definitely in, but Jackson held up to avoid the penalty. Otherwise Ole Miss is short of the mark.

What was the deal on Cade
Left knee?

They haven't said but that's kind of what it looked like when they helped him off the field.

We can’t get of blocks
Haven’t all night

Crappy blocking g on the return

Always behind the sticks

Davis appeared confused again. May not have been his fault, but looked like it.

How long did it take for these moron zebras to get their shizzle together?

These are the longest play stoppages I remember.

spragans fault

Really chippy tonight
Somebody pissed Tillman off a few plays ago and he wanted a piece of two ole piss players

Davis just can't do it.  They are attacking the right side big time!!!

Should have burned another 60 seconds after it became 2nd and 17. When it became apparent they'd get one more possession you have to run some clock.

Davis is getting abused, he has 8 TFL/sacks, and I'm sure there's a few that I've missed

sorry for the post inside the quote

Davis setting in pass pro with better technique so far this series

Heupel just broke a personal best in the 40 to get that TO called

We are still in this game but coaches have to figure some stuff out at halftime (don't know how you figure out the weakness in the OL).

counting Carvin at center we are running g 3 backups now

Hopefully those passes on that drive will give Hooker some confidence

It could have been worse. Three yards and a cloud of dust may not be a terrible option for the second half.

In fairness, the D only gave up 17 if you take out points from the muffed punt.

Gotta spy on 3rd and long instead of blitzing.

Absolutely. And getting three has to help everyone's psyche.

Circle Drill

we are spying one of the LBs but they are being blocked, and blocked, and blocked

Banks is not getting off of those blocks, either.

Yes and we were limited on the OL when the season started.  Its an uphill battle for sure.

That muffed punt was disastrous.

Banks was the spy early

Cade IS on the sidelines and is still dressed
Don’t think he plays but his presence will help I think

and he is working with Davis

Gotta help

TV said Cade is out for the rest of the game.

Nice way to start the half!  Hope it's the norm from now on.
Go Vols!

 :powert:

Great start by both sides of the ball!

he is not wearing extra bracing or have ice on his knee

Lot of ole piss players taking a knee, as the stadium announcer called it

Their right corner got away with holding

Need to hold them here

Regardless of whether you'll kick or go for it, a conservative 3rd down play call is your friend.

Yep. That possession was our chance to make things right.

A couple of plays ago one of their OLs attempted to tie a necktie on our rusher
No call

That was on Banks

Taylor in the tent

It feels like we MUST answer right here.

In fairness, Banks wasn't going to be able to take away the inside, but you've gotta bump there.

Yep. This is get a TD or go home time. Or worse, get an ugly final score posted time.

We’ve played most of the game in our base defense

Steel the Pearl with the hype twice tonight

Another knee

I'm pretty laissez-faire, but if you go down you should be out for a quarter.

What bullshizzle

at least the drive

Great response!

It's an easy fix.  You are out for the rest of the possession.  The TV broadcasters talked about that earlier.

No quit in this team.  I like the attitude of this team and the coaching that they seem to be getting.

Hooker's holding up pretty well.

that was a nice play design
They put small in motion and ran an option look
Forced the DE to make a decision

Looked like a catch
TV?

His first pick off all year

We seriously needed that.

Looked like one to me. Arm seemed to be under it and the ball didn't move.

This shot is getting out of hand
On both teams

A lot of plays have been run, but it's a cool night.

They are going to need all of the IV's in Knox County!!!!

Hooker missed (I think Payton) open deeper, past the marker

Ugh

No kidding.

On another note, Paxton Brooks has done a fantastic job tonight.

I believe this one is legit

 TW Taylor has been out the last three series
Haden playing in his place

The one thing our passing attack is deficient in is stretching the field, I think.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see Hooker throwing a lot of passes down the field.

Two thing have driven me crazy tonight
Not cover the QB run
Not changing how we play the screen
Nobody is aggressive getting off blocks!

No sack but Byron Young don’t quit

Boooooooooo

2 steps forward
20 back

Weak holding call unless I missed something

I love Hooker, but he's got to throw it up for grabs on 2nd or 3rd and 27. It's the end of the game. There is no other day to fight for.

What does TV show?

First down right on the 40 I think, but it won't be overturned. I'm not positive.

It wasn’t

 Corruption

Had the ball been at his chest it was a first down (unprovable), but is was at his waist.

Nobody wanted the first down more than me, but I don't think he made the first down.  Irregardless, they can't overturn that call on the video available.

No way to overturn it. Completely agree.

Hooker has to make a throw on that third down, imo.  You have to give a receiver a chance to make a play or get a PI call.  Running it out of bounds and having 4th and 27 was not the correct play, imo.

Arrest everyone throwing stuff.

Whit hat getting his orders from Birmingham

Shaddup!

I’m through with SEC football. What’s the point? When officials can single handedly change the outcome in the game and the SEC isn’t interested in fixing it, fizzle it. Why get emotionally invested in something that might as well be fixed before it even starts?

Band and cheerleaders leaving the field/ stands

Arrest everybody. Always! Kill em, if necessary!

I detest bad behavior, but it is worth noting the conference has planted seeds of dissension with it's lengthy poor track record of officiating.

Pathetic
Then you had the ole piss players going down to their fans and acting like asses
Refs stoped that after a couple of minutes

Someone pinged Kiffin with a golf ball.

coward staying in the middle of the field
Pulling his jacket over his face

Lane on the field during the plays, surrounded by bodyguards

#2’s Heitsman run took a hit tonight

I detest Kiffin... but not because I'm bad... I remember his presser when he left... he knew it was bad form. He thought about himself. Fans should be equally sportsmanlike in the manner that the kids are expected.

Hooker is legit down, but we're milking this big-time to get a plan and Milton warmed up.

Uh, what was that Joe?

That is one reason he isn't the starter any longer. You have to throw that ball. No matter if no one is open. You have to throw it. Sheesh.

That was beyond stupid.

Chris Weber stupid!

Yep. Don't care if it's a pick.

Lemme say this. We could have quit against Pitt and we didn't. We could have quit tonight and we didn't.

That is huge. There are certainly critiques, but that isn't it.

Shoulda used Bailey there.  It’s a drop back type play anyway and Milton is just too much of a head case to rely on.

Heupel must have made it crystal clear that you are throwing the ball, your are not throwing it away, and you will throw into coverage if necessary

I guess that means Milton is in the clear!

 :dielaughing:

Yes.  Or at least 10 plays.  And on D only, but even if they have to make it both sides of the ball, do it.

Hit the ground. May have barely got his leg on the hop.

Brutal Coupe!

Dam, that didn't even occur to me.  Not a terrible idea.
