GameDay Thread: Week 3--Night Game At Neyland

Man, our offense suddenly sharpened up off that pick! This was first time we looked like GATORS all season...

Damn, we missed a chance to pin 'em back there...They will NOT be able to run on us...The question is, will we be able to run on them--we HAVE to to win this thing--SHITV--Roberson misses the pick and gives it away!

Good blitz--4th down--but we SHOULD have had another pick...Roberson gave away field position by missing that pick...he has missed several this season so far, tho' he has played well otherwise--still, little things like this can make the difference--we have had chances to take this game over early, but instead they are still poised to get back in it unless we can drive the field here somehow--and this is NOT the kind of situation that lends itself to ANY offense, let alone ours. They won't try another trick play back here...so it comes down to the running game.

Decent throw might have sprung him for some yardage...hit the umpire in the middle or we pick it up to Dunbar--DAMN!

Another good kick...but they have the ball near mid-field AGAIN...this is gonna bite us unless we come up with another SHIT!!!! Long pass caught in our red zone--that's what I was afraid of...

Come ON, D...hold 'em out here. Oh no, here come the homer-flags...Roberson had position here! That is BS--as usual in Knoxville!

OK--the officials are in on this now--it is now an official screw-job at Neyland...However, we had to KNOW coming in: no mistakes to help get them in position for that sort of thing--and we HAD our chances to get control of this thing. OK, offense has to come back out and look sharp again, move the ball.

Listen to these announcers, trying to rationalize the "phantom" penalty-call--his hands were NOT inside his gear!

DAMNIT! Nice run back, but another stupid holding penalty!
WE ARE SCREWING OURSELVES!

Lost 30 yards on that penalty--then get back 10 on that fumble-bounce-pickup...Driskel throwing the ball nicely...That was a telegraphed play all the way--they will not gain yardage that way on the ground, not with Gilly at less-than-100%...nice throw, but they have to punt here...

GEEZ--LUCKY they got the Time out! That would have been a disaster there...

First quarter done--and we haven't played as poorly as the first two games, but we definitely missed some chances to get and keep a 2-score lead.

GOT to protect that corner--that's the only running play that has worked for these guys. Now, I knew they were going to throw that little out there--they should too. This chippy running game of theirs is no threat--long as we stop them at the line and not let them bounce off and through. Time to drive in there and sack this f*ck Bray!

Done! 3rd and long.. DAMN! Here's ANOTHER BS-call: Elam was on him clean, it was just a good catch (and they threw the flag on him to insure the gain...this could get ugly). Bad throw by Bray--and 3rd and long again...
SHIT--the guy pushed off of ELAM and they didn't call it!

We are starting to get shafted regularly by the refs here...we should have had the fumble there, so there's another one! It won't be over-turned, not here at Knoxville.

Look, guys: we are going to HAVE to outright BEAT them, no doubts...we canNOT leave anything to the officials. They are being escorted down the field now--so we can't help them do it. MUST DESTROY THOSE 3RD DOWN CHANCES!!!

They have had at least 3rd and longs AND 3 ref-aids along the way...there was something weird about that set--GOOD, screwed their 1st down. OK, here comes another 3rd and long...this BETTER not be a pass interference--it was tipped and SHOULD have been an INT!

Good, finally. Now we'll see if they make it on 4th down...come on, Gators! (stupid timeout by Dooley, unless he just wants to think about it--Elam touched it for SURE--should have had a good chance at the pick (we have GOT to start converting those into take-aways!)

Shit! They'll give it to the Vols--and it's our damn fault for letting Bray tear us up this way.
