...N!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 18:56:15

Sheridan Jones will not play tonight.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:16:30

Walk of Champions! I'll have video shortly.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:16:52

Tigers win the toss and defer to the 2nd half! Tennessee gets the ball first.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:17:20

D forces a punt!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:17:36

Yikes Cade sacked for a big loss on a blitz.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:18:15

COLE TURNER!!! Cade had pressure in his face but made a great throw and a great catch by the freshman! 1st down at the Vols' 49!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:18:39

Complete to Ngata for another 1st down at the 33!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:20:36

Cade is incomplete to Allen on 3rd down. Potter out to attempt a 44-yard FG on 4th and 4.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:22:26

UGH Tigers try the same fake they ran against UNC with Drew Swinney running for it, but the Vols were ready. Would have gotten the 1st down if Swinney had pitched it to Potter, but he kept it and was tackled short. Vols take over at their 25.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:24:05

Don't really like that call, not just because it failed. If Hooker and Hyatt were playing, I can see the feeling to need TD's instead of field goals, but I would have just taken the automatic Potter field goal there to get some early momentum.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:24:30

Vols run for 10 yards on 1st down.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:36:08

Good grief the Vols are aided by a couple of penalties and move the ball all the way inside the 10.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:37:59

Penalty on Heupel moves the ball back to the 19! It will be 1st down though.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:38:28

Wright runs for 3 yards to make it 2nd and 7.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:39:21

Good grief Milton throws a rope to the back of the end zone to McCoy. Where has that been his whole career??! I guess he brought his best game for his Miami homecoming.

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:41:44

Complete to Allen for 11 yards on 1st down!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:43:03

Great back shoulder throw and even better catch by Ngata!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:43:41

Cade airs it out to Ngata and draws a PI! 1st down at the Vols' 37!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:44:48

Mafah runs for 2 and a Tenn player is down.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:49:43

Ugh Cade rus for no gain and is then sacked for a 3 yard loss. It will be 4th and 11 at the 38. Dabo calls timeout. Would be a career-record 55-yarder from here.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:50:03

Potter out to try for a career record!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:50:46

Ugh Potter misses wide right. Vols take over at their 38.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:51:02

Big 3rd and 3 coming up!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:52:04

WOODAZ TFL!!! The freshman makes a big play in his first start! Tigers force a 3 and out.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:52:52

Tigers take over at their 20 after the punt.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:54:20

PI call! Ugh would have been a TD but Cade under threw it. Ngata had the defender beat down the sideline.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:55:27

Ugh incomplete to Shipley on the sideline. Looked like a great catch to me! Great throw too. Can't believe they aren't reviewing that.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:56:04

1ST DOWN ANTONIO! Ball at midfield.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 19:56:59

Mafah runs 5 yards to the Vols' 44 and that ends the half.

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:01:08

Cade runs 12 yards to the Vols' 32!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:03:04

Yikes Shipley took a hard helmet hit to the elbow on a pass, popping the ball out. Probably should have been targeting. Big 3rd and 10 coming up.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:03:38

Ugh pass is incomplete. Potter out to attempt a 49-yarder.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:05:10

Good grief Potter misses wide right again! He had missed just 3 all season and has missed 2 in this half.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:07:21

SACK BRESEE!!!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:08:32

PBU PRIDE!!! Vols went deep and the freshman had perfect coverage to avoid the flag! Tigers force a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:09:04

Ugh Cade sacked again for a 7 yard loss.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:09:47

11 yard completion to Allen makes it 3rd and 6.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:10:21

ANOTHER PI CALL! 1st down at the vols' 47!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:16:28

Complete to Antonio for 25 yards to the 22!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:17:45

Ugh pass from Allen to Briningstool is long in the end zone. That would have been sweet tight end to tight end!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:19:00

Ugh Cade is sacked and misses a wide open Antonio on 3rd and 13. Potter out again for another FG attempt.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:20:20

Potter misses again!!! Good grief this time wide left from 42. He was obviously over compensating after pushing the firs 2 wide left. Potter missed 3 all season and now has 3 misses in the first half!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:21:25

Good grief Milton airs it out again for 50 yards and Squirrel White makes a diving catch at the 2.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:22:14

Small punches it in for the TD.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-0 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:23:40

Should be 14-12 at worst! Tigers doing a terrible job finishing drives, and that has given the Vols and their fans momentum and confidence!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:24:42

Shipley returns the kick 40 yards and lowers the shoulder! Maybe that will get them going.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:25:42

Ugh ball was tipped and Antonio almost made a great catch but dropped it.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:26:52

SHIPLEY HURDLE!! Just like the Louisville game! 11 yard completion to the 45.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:27:20

Cade runs for 8 and takes a big hit.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:28:11

Big 3rd and 5 coming up at the 14!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:31:01

Good grief Cade is forced out of the pocket and throws it away. He had Shipley open. Potter out for a 5th attempt!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:32:32

Good grief he almost missed again!!! From the middle of the field and just 31 yards out. Lol Potter is a head case now. Clearly rattled.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-3 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:33:52

Tigers have outgained them by 4 yards! Should be up 15-14!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:34:56

Whew! Pride gets away with a PI on another deep ball.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:36:36

D forces a 3 and out! They have done their part and then some. NEED A TD BEFORE HALF!!! There is 4:23 on the clock, and Tigers get the ball first after half. Perfect time for 4 minute drill!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:38:52

Cade runs for a 1st down!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:40:06

Complete to Ngata for another 1st down at the 46!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:40:44

UGH catch is overturned because Ngata was bobbling it as he went out. 2nd and 10.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:42:33

Completion to Ngata for 20 yards! Nice spin move got him 10 more.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:42:58

Ugh deep pass to Turner in the end zone is broken up.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:43:27

Big 3rd and 10 coming from the 43.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:45:42

Good grief Cade throws it over Spector's head. He was wide open for the 1st down. Tigers to punt for first time tonight!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:51:00

D forces a 3 and out! Tigers will get the ball back with about 1:30 left in the half.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:51:44

Completions to Allen and Ngata move the ball to the 45!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:52:00

Ugh drop by Briningstool on a 20 yard pass.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:52:22

Cade runs for 7 to make it 3rd and 3 at the Vols' 40.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:52:40

Shovel pass to Shipley for 8 yards! 1st down at the 32.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:53:08

Completion to Turner for 7! Good catch on a low throw.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:53:42

Complete to Randall for a 1st down at the 13! Tigers are out of timeouts with 31 seconds left. Can't take a sack!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:56:50

CANNOT TAKE A SACK here with no timeouts!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:57:08

Ugh delay of game makes it 1st and 15.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:57:54

Good grief Cade runs for 5 yards and the clock is running!!! I called it! Need to spike it now!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 20:59:43

Good grief Cade doesn't spike it, runs up the middle and the clock runs out on the half. He did exactly what you should NOT do in that situation! That just totally demonstrated that he is still just a freshman from a football IQ standpoint. I called it before the two plays. He's gotta know that he cannot run the ball with no timeouts. Have to throw it away if nothing is there! Take a grounding if you have to. He should have spiked it after the first run and then was stupid to run it again!

TIGERS TRAIL 14-3 AT THE HALF.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:03:15

That was about as frustrating and perplexing first half as I've ever watched! The Tigers punted just ONCE and have 3 points to show for it. They should probably be up by 14-17 points, but instead they are down 11. Even with all those drives stalling out, all they had to do was make 5 makeable field goals, and they would be up 15-14! And probably Tennessee wouldn't have 14 points because the misses definitely gave them momentum and field position.

The good news is that the defense has played great, and the Tigers get the ball to start the 2nd half. If they can pull it together on offense and finish a drive with a TD, it's a whole new game! They cannot afford to have ANY turnovers the rest of the way. They've gone 6 straight quarters now without any. Knock on wood!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:19:50

Mafah stumbles but returns the kick to the 32.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:20:45

Whew! Risky pass by Cade could have been a pick six! 2nd and 3 after the catch by Ngata.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:21:17

Shipley runs for another 1st down at midfield!

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:21:30

Must score 7 here. However would love to see the Tigers run the ball and take time off the clock. A 7 minute 12 play drive would be nice

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:22:04

Shipley runs for 13 more! Tigers are not messing around on this drive. Ground and pound!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:22:26

Cade runs for 7 more to the Vols' 31! It's 2nd and 3.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:22:47

Shipley runs for another 1st down at the 28!

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:23:05

So far so good. 7 drives inside the Tennessee 40 yard line and only 3 points. Not good. BT Potter uncharacteristically missing field goals. The 56 yarder I will give him the other ones not so much

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:24:07

Shipley picks up 2 and Mafah runs for 3. Huge 3rd and 5 coming up at the 23! I think it's 4 down territory at this point!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:26:13

Good grief Cade is force out of the pocket and Tigers are called for holding. They decline the hold and Dabo decides to kick another FG instead of go for it on 4th and 5! I would go for it. All these field goals are ridiculous. This is attempt 6 of the game!

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:26:24

Defense must continue to get stops. Offense moving the ball need at least one drive where they finish with 7 instead of 3

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:26:59

FG IS GOOD FROM 40!!! Potter is now 2-5.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-6 IN 3RD.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:28:47

Defense need to get a stop here 3 and out. Would be huge.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:29:28

Force Milton i to a turnover would be nice

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:30:50

Exactly what the Tigers needed. Now time to put 7 on the board

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:31:02

D forces a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:36:22

Ugh Cade is sacked and the Tigers go 3 and out. Just their 2nd punt of the night!

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:36:27

Offensive line got their butt whipped on that series

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:41:36

Not KJ Henry.......that didn't look good at all

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:47:16

Barrett Carter. The defense is doing its job. Offense must give them some help............Clemson defense is the only team to hold Tennessee well under it's scoring average

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:48:10

All the commercials tonight have all been about the SEC. Nothing about the ACC at all.......go figure

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:48:38

Big holding call makes it 2nd and 20 at the Vols' 43.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:49:27

Ugh Wiggins almost had a pick 6 for 2nd straight game!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:49:51

D forces a punt!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:50:24

Cade runs for a 1st down at the 33!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:51:38

Big 3rd and 2 coming at the 41!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:52:03

Shipley runs for the 1st down!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:53:51

Another huge 3rd and 5 coming at the 34!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:54:11

Cade runs and comes up short. Tigers going for it on 4th and 2!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:55:32

Good grief Shipley runs up the middle and is inches short of the line to make. Tigers turn it over on downs at the 30.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:56:14

Tigers now have 142 more total yards than the Vols and trail by 8!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:56:46

Good grief Wright runs 42 yards to the Tigers' 19.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 21:57:16

Ugh TD pass to Squirrel White. He's having the game of his life!

TIGERS TRAIL 21-6 WITH 5 SECONDS LEFT IN 3RD.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 21:59:48

Unreal.........Mukuba been beat twice tonight. I don't understand the play calling on some of these drives

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:02:01

Shipley returns the kick to the 29 to end the quarter.

TIGERS TRAIL 21-6 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:05:39

Complete to Ngata for a 1st down at midfield.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:06:16

Complete to Turner for 12 more! 1st down at the 38.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:07:57

Here we go again! 3rd and 6 at the 34.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:08:26

Complete to Briningstool! Great run after the catch for a 1st down at the 25!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:09:40

Shipley runs for 6 and then one. Big 3rd and 2 at the 17!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:10:18

Shipley runs for 10 yards to the 7! First and goal!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:10:52

Shipley runs for 3 more. 2nd and goal at the 4.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 22:11:23

Finally Touchdown Tigers

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:12:03

TD CADE!!! He fakes the handoff and runs it into the end zone! Tigers will go for 2 after a penalty on the Vols.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:15:30

SHIPLEY RUNS IT IN FOR THE 2-POINT CONVERSION!!!

TIGERS TRAIL 21-14 WITH 10:01 LEFT IN 4TH.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 22:18:24

Need to get a stop here. It's 3rd down......huge here!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:21:35

Ugh Vols convert on a 3rd and 9 completion.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 22:22:26

No one was within 15 yards of the receiver. Blown coverage, or just poor defense

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:22:44

Good grief Pride is totally burnt down the field for a 46-yard TD pass. He had played well up until that play. They've been trying him all night with Sheridan Jones out.

TIGERS TRAIL 28-14 WITH 8:34 LEFT.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:26:02

Huge 3rd and 8 coming at the 33.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:26:38

Ugh deep pass to Turner broken up. Good defense. Tigers going for it on 4th and 8.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:27:25

Ugh Cade forced out of the pocket and throws a jump pass up for grabs. It's intercepted at midfield.

Thexoach 2022-12-30 22:28:32

Wow....seriously Dabo. How do you go for it right there

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:30:47

This game boils down to the Tigers blowing too many opportunities and letting the Vols hang around and gain momentum. Should have put them away early. Tigers had 180 more yards at one point.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:32:25

Tigers force a 3 and out and will get the ball back with 6:26 left. Need a quick TD and a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:35:46

Ugh punt caught at the 5 by Antonio. Should have let it go.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:36:08

Tigers punting out of their end zone on 4th and 10.

CUTrevor 2022-12-30 22:55:23

Tennessee tacks on a field goal. Tigers drive to the Vols' 15 but Cade is intercepted for a 2nd time, and the Vols run out the clock.

TIGERS LOSE 31-14.

I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly!
