Tennessee Volunteers v. Vanderbilt Commodores: open game thread

A few more on the next play. On 3rd down, stopped. 4th and a half. Going forward it . . .

Sneak -- bad spot -- he got it.

Go Vols!!

Foster for about five up the middle.

Quick out to Taylor, first down. First and goal from the six.

Quick out to Taylor, other side, touchdown.

Bummer on the blocked PAT

First for the season, isn't it?

Anyway, Ainge is spreading it out really well.

Lincoln misses a PAT and bounces a 41-yard FG off the right upright.

As well as we've been clicking, we're only up 6.

Ugh.

17 plays 78 yards 8:04 off the clock!

Volorado -- step away from the Ainge jersey.

Me, I'm turning off the Vol Network broadcast and listening to Pat Ryan and those other guys. Sacrifices, people.

Two truly awful teams are not surprisingly pitted at 0-0.

He's sitting up now. Standing. Looks like maybe he got knocked out or something.

That's good.

Sorry I'm late. I hate just listening to the game and not being able to see it. Thank gawd for Web cast streaming

Defense needs to put some pressure on that boy

No. TD Vandy. 24-9 after the PAT.

This is killing me.

/sigh not looking good.

Still alot of football left to play, and they aren't so far down that they can't come back, but if the defense doesn't start slowing down Vandy's offense, and if our offense doesn't start executing in the red zone.....
well..this could be a long day

Ainge can't do anything w/ the blitz.

Both teams averaging about 5 yards a play.

Vandy has 237 yards. Tennesse at 195.

The big denominator is time.

Tennessee has only had the ball about 7 minutes. Vandy is almost 20

Our sideline looks like they're already beat. Somebody needs to go over there and tell everybody to jump up and down. Time for the bootstraps. Get yourself back into it.

Offense is in a bind now though because they need to get down the field fast to get points on the board, but at the same time they need to give the defense a chance to re-charge.

Vol Cast is good but its like drinking in front of an alcoholic

Incomplete to Taylor. Bad throw. No real pressure.

We punt.

NOW SCORE! DANGIT!

We have stopped them once, finally, and we have finally put at least a bit of a drive together. If we can stick this in the end zone. We might still have a shot.

We can do this!!!
Just got to keep the momentum moving

C'mon boys, make it happen I got faith in ya!

All that from roughing the punter!!

But can we stop them?

YES! Pressure and a bad throw. Three and out. They'll punt.

Nice stop! 3rd down!

Bring'em down a notch boys!

INCOMPLETE!!!!!!

We're Mid field.

We're behind by a touch down.

We're in the last quarter.

My gawd I need a beer before I run out of fingernails

Shoot. Then, Ainge gets hit as he throws and we have a 3rd and thirteen.

Deep. Incomplete.

The whisle blew a full 15 seconds ago nearly?!

Second down. A few on the ground via the option.

Third down and four. Incomplete.

We stopped them.

Second down -- really nice throw down the middle to Briscoe. 27 yards.

Ball at the 35. Ainge to Rogers for five.

Ainge to Taylor. First down.

Let's go!

UT puts Gerald Jones at QB. Thankfully, Vandy calls a timeout so we don't shoot ourselves in the foot with the G-gun.

Going for two . . .

Overthrown. Vols down 2.

D. D. D.

Oh, well, let's get a stop!

Call it even.

Typed very hard.

Run the clock out?

No gain on first down.

Third and 7. Complete, but short.

Tennessee calls time out with 2:52 left.

Lincoln on for the FG attempt.

It's good. Tennessee 25-24. 2:46 to go.

To mid-field.

Rogan saves a TD.

OH! Almost intercepted by Berry. Berry's killing himself.

FG attempt. 49 yards. NO GOOD!

Wow.

Just wowowowowow.

Great comeback.

Deep breaths, everybody.

Vol Abroad, Baby Cletus is not wearing any clothes next week. Seriously.

I'm waiting for my neighbor to come over and see who i was killing heh!

Along with that, Ainge needs new glasses.  His receivers are much closer than they appear.  Once he got the overthrows under control, the offense came to life.
