told ya brought up a streak against the vols only thing they can truly say postive outta this year.
 
Are offense needs to pick it up are O-LINE is playing like Worley is in the back field. Juat glad its 13-13 at the half and not worse.
 
Turnovers. Game over!

Congrats to Missouri, their defense is legit, and Mauk made some huge plays.
 
You've got to give credit. Missouri DE and the whole defensive line is no joke. But at the same time, Dobbs mobility in the past two games has masked the fact that our Oline is still vulnerable.

Shout out to TN special teams and defense. They both kept us somewhat in the game. I will agree that the play calling might have been a little conservative. When you have a dual threat QB and you take away the option for him to run your play book shrinks a lot too and that's what Mizzou did tonight. Credit to Dobbs for taking some shots and playing till the last whistle. That leap on the 2 point was pretty awesome. The kid is a sophomore folks that has played in 4 games this season. Whatever opinion you may have of him, he has improved, guys got skills and he will be a factor for UT for two more years.

IMO, this was a trap game of all trap games for UT. Coming off of a blowout win against KY, these guys wake up Sunday morning to news of the AJ/Williams rape allegations. They are already minus one key player for the first half in Randolph. Factor in losing their starting center to injury against KY. Add AJ and Williams to the list. And then late in the week Marquez North is deemed out for the season due to injury. Injuries, suspensions and young guys having to fill key roles. Emotions have been high from things through out the week and then add senior night.

I'll be honest. The game was not pretty on either side. Mizzou got the win but I'm gonna stand tall and say that I am proud of these guys for fighting this season. They have made the best of what they've had to work with. I'll be a Vol fan till the end and be proud of it and will not bow down or apologize to anybody for it. Now let's go get the win we need at Vandy and be done with regular season. Bring on the bowl. GO VOLS.
 
I only saw the first half and mizzou's defense is for real. Reading the recap of the second half sounds like it was a great game minus a few plays. Not saying they'd have won but being without your leader in AJ Johnson on defense hurts.
 
I really wanted UT to win this game, but they let me down big time!!! I'm not a UT fan and have not watched them much this year, but I had heard so much about their defense that I guess I expected them to be able to play SOME defense. Their tackling is ATROCIOUS!!! They kept trying to "hit" people and knock them down, but they would not wrap up. Offensive play calling was really bad, and Dobbs has mobility, but no vision or awareness.

Just my .02

Yep. But a college football fan in general, not just a homer, who can admit my team's faults, as well as talk to other fans about their teams without just trying to stir things up.

Hey man that's cool. I don't really have any kind of beef with Georgia. Wish for mine and your sake both that TN could have beaten Mizzou last night but it didn't happen. TN as a team has has many problems and as you know they have just gotten worse since the KY game. I will be pulling for the Hogs next week to knock Mizzou down. Hopefully the Bulldogs can get there. Hate it about Gurley too.
