If Sampson gets I think 158 yards he will beat Travis Stephens’ record for single season rushing yards at UT. And if he manages to get four touchdowns he will be second to only Derrick Henry for single season rushing touchdowns in the SEC. Praying for him to ball out and break those records 🙏 he deserves it as hard as he’s played. Especially since he got snubbed for the Doak Walker Award 😒 and still isn’t even being mentioned as a Heisman contender
Im a vols fan..but there's no way we are beating Vandy like that. I guess you guys haven't been watching all season. Our offense is garbage unless we play non-con teams. We got serious issues. Vandy is scrappy and we will get their best shot saturday. We've been waiting on Nico and tbe recievers to click and have a break out game for 11 weeks now.
Don’t get it twisted. Playing in the SEC on the road is tough. But this is a home game and the crowd against Bama , vs the crowd against the VOLS ? Can’t wait to watch
Giant difference in teams that have faced TN’s offense previously and teams who haven’t played that offense in the past. That’s a big reason those numbers are so staggered
No disrespect at all in saying this, JD. You're saying this about Nico, and Tennessee is still 9-2. Tale of two halves against Georgia, sadly. But, when it came to running the offense, Nico did pretty well. Yes, if he hits those deep balls it might be a completely different story. But, this isn't Hendon Hooker at QB where he's going to light it up for 250+.. Do I think he could get to a level like that? 1000%. But, he's hitting the throws when given. Yes, I wish his deep ball was a little better up to this point. But, for the plays given, he's running the offense well. Also, this isn't a Tennessee team that's going to put up 50 on SEC opponents (WISH IT WAS). But, its' a Tennessee team that relies on the run game, FEEDING DYLAN SAMPSON. Ground and pound baby.
Tennessee hasn't played and beat any ranked team other than alabama. The score wasn't reflective of how bad Georgia beat Tennessee. Look at Georgia's touchdown drives. Tennessee I have a closer game against Vanderbilt than I think. They have benefited from a week strength of schedule.
We (Tennessee) have our hands full this weekend with Vanderbilt. Vandy is scrappy. What scares me is our (Tennessee) offense isn't good. It's been this way for two straight years. If any defense pushes back on our offense it seems like they can't function, and we have no DAWGS on offense, and play calling starts to get predictable because we have NO PASS GAME. Vanderbilt is more than capable of embarassing us and they will if we don't come in this game with our hair on fire. Im sick of barely winning SEC games. We have struggled in every single game we have won unless it was a cupcake team.
The 3 finalist for the Doak Walker award were announced and Sampson isn't in the top 3. The man literally has 22 tds and over 1300 yds with a game left and he plays in the SEC. HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN?
It’s crazy how much the goalposts change for a freshman QB. Dude has the chance to lead his team to the playoffs in his first year as a starter. Honestly, I’m far more concerned about the O-line in pass protection (they’re pretty good in the run game), than I am about Nico’s ability
Can someone please explain to me why people keep saying Tennessee is out of the SEC Championship game?? Not crying or anything I just genuinely need help understanding it.. If we beat Vandy and a&m beats Texas.. That puts Tennessee and Texas at a tie with 2 conference losses.. So why is Texas automatically in over Tennessee with no head to head match-up??
@tylorarcher8439 Ok.. Makes sense.. I didn't realize they had played each other.. I also didn't realize that mattered since Arkansas is irrelevant as far as getting in.. Appreciate you explaining that for me..
@tylorarcher8439 there are actually several common opponents. In fact all but us having Bama and them having A&M, all sec opponents are the same and sadly, they beat all of them by a greater margin except they lost to Georgia at home by 15 where we lost at Georgia by 14. They would hold every tie breaker over us.
Do I like that conference stat line for Nico? No, mainly because they’re not putting up points, especially in comparison to 2022. Yards/game not great, but they’re no electrifying non-conference either. But, let’s compare Nico’s “drop off” to other SEC QBs. How does Milroe drop off? What about Beck, or Ewers, or Pavia? I’m betting most have a drop off based on level of competition, so let’s get a fair comparison instead of just making up narratives.
I was a bit more worried about this game earlier in the year than I am now...but still Vandy is nothing to sleep on. But if our Defense shows up, and we can almost bank on our running game being efficient....but I think my Vols win this one. If we're in rhythm in our passing game then I don't think this one will even be close. I'm taking my Vols 41-17. That said we need to keep the pressure on Pavia. I'd love to see us sack Pavia 5 times. At the least they need to spy this QB all day. As long as we don't let Pavia hurt us with his legs then I think my Vols will be just win. We've gotta win this one guys!!! But let's do it in blowout fashion! I know we're capable. GBO!!!
We gon have to lock in this week this is similar to the sc game in 22 all we have to do is win and we’re in we control our own destiny the committee can’t deny us if we win
Vandy is beat up anyone can see that. Tennessee’s pretty healthy with depth. The Vols defense, yea you forgot that didn’t you. Tennessee’s has the best defense Vandy will face. Yea Vandy beat the Tide. We did to. What’s going to happen is Tennessee is going to own Vanderbilt.
Same here man. Our offense is just horrible the past two years. Vandy can score and we can't. Also, vandy will keep trying to fight and win of they are down or faking adversity....Tenneseee doesn't seem to.
@joshuawhite7515 our offense isn't great. Our defense is. Every single game we have played with the exception of one we held our opponents to 20 or less. Are you saying one deminsional vandy puts up more then 20 on us? Or are you saying we won't score over 20?
Also Nicos numbers in the sec don’t tell the whole story they definitely need to improve not saying that but his been more of a game manager while Dylan Sampson has been our best player
What if all 4 big 12 teams lose and Tulane becomes the 5th highest ranked conference champions. Meaning Oregon, Texas, Miami, Boise State, Tulane get auto bids
JD this is not the hendon hooker offense anymore, it aint 2022. This is a different offense that leans on Sampson, and yeah nico could've done better in some games but we win and we're 10-2 and in the playoff so i think he's done enough personally. Stop trying to push the 2022 team onto this one and then complain when it doesnt fit. They're two very different teams and they win in very different ways
Always remember this is Vandy's Super Bowl. Nico is a freshman. Imagine how good he will be in 2 years if he sticks around. Sampson will never win the Heisman.
Which team had those similar struggles? I hope you’re not talking about Bama lol. Bama scored 35 in 17 minutes, their defense lost them that game, period. Tennessee’s defense is night and day better than Bama’s.
Funny how he says “non-sec” opponents as if they are still legitimate teams that just are in other power conferences, when in reality they played 3 FCS teams and the 4th worst ACC team
Bro every team in the league schedules cupcake games for non-con. It’s actually a smart way to make sure that, even in your down years, you’re not going to shit the bed and pull a 2-10 season. Georgia literally played Umass last week, and Tennessee Tech like 5 weeks ago. Yet, they have what’s unanimously viewed as the most difficult schedule in the nation, potentially the toughest schedule in CFB history. . . Get the fuck over yourself, bud 😂
@@BraeDilley I could be wrong(I’m not) but I believe Georgia also played Tennessee Tech and Umass this season too. Every SEC does that, it’s one of the few perks of being in the toughest conference in college football
Lol. Clearly you haven't watched us play all year. Is our offense good? No. Is our defense good? Yes. Every single one demonsional team we have played we beat. Our defense is 6th and offense 11th. Vandy defense is 61st and offense 116th. I mean anything can happen but don't be ridiculous. You need to lay off the haterade
Sampson will have another huge game. Dude is gonna go beast mode.
Also Boo Carter cuts loose and has a big day.
GB🍊
Agree 100%
Don’t forget about Lewis
If Sampson gets I think 158 yards he will beat Travis Stephens’ record for single season rushing yards at UT. And if he manages to get four touchdowns he will be second to only Derrick Henry for single season rushing touchdowns in the SEC. Praying for him to ball out and break those records 🙏 he deserves it as hard as he’s played.

@ that shit was crazy. They just did that so Jeanty wins it they ain’t no controversy .
I hope you're right and I think you will be. GBO!!! @loganwatson5905 I really hope he does just that!! Dylan deserves it!!
I might be dead wrong here, but I think UT will be focused and will smash them. 45-17
Agree 100%
Praying for this
GBO!!!

No
Finding out JD played against Ju Ju was the coolest part of this video
Don’t get it twisted. Playing in the SEC on the road is tough. But this is a home game and the crowd against Bama , vs the crowd against the VOLS ?
Can’t wait to watch
This is a home game for Tennessee! Go Vols
This dude talks forever to get to the point
Agree 100%
I agree that Nico's numbers need to improve, but he absolutely was impactful in the Bama game!
Nico was damn good against Oklahoma!! He hit several deep balls and sailed into halting up 19-3
No slow starts offensively this week for the Vols or we will lose the game this is more of a home game for the Vols!
Agree 100%
Giant difference in teams that have faced TN’s offense previously and teams who haven’t played that offense in the past. That’s a big reason those numbers are so staggered
We will know depending on how the stands look, if Vandy doesn’t put up some fans then we are going to rock it!
the tickets went on sale months ago, before Vandy had such a good season. There will be lots of Orange in the stands
The Orange and White are Everywhere!
Vols 38 Commodores 23

I'll take that bet! Tennessee by more than 10 points. All day, every day! GO BIG ORANGE 🍊

Nico will have a day 😎🍊
If Tennessee scores over 20 they win period
Vandy coming off couple L's they will be hungry, vols better be watching plenty of video.

SAMPSON IS THE BEST
UT receivers have dropped almost 300 yards of passes. Yards calculated at the point of the drop.
It’s crazy how much the goalposts change for a freshman QB. Dude has the chance to lead his team to the playoffs in his first year as a starter. Honestly, I’m far more concerned about the O-line in pass protection (they’re pretty good in the run game), than I am about Nico’s ability
35-9 GBO
The TENN offense BETTER wake up .. and definitely can’t OVERLOOK Vandy !!
Good thing for the vols is we got a lot more fans in Nashville than vandy does, rich fans who haven’t had the chance to see us play yet
Can someone please explain to me why people keep saying Tennessee is out of the SEC Championship game?? Not crying or anything I just genuinely need help understanding it.. If we beat Vandy and a&m beats Texas.. That puts Tennessee and Texas at a tie with 2 conference losses.. So why is Texas automatically in over Tennessee with no head to head match-up??
Texas beat Arkansas

@ when it comes to being tied they look at common opponents. We both lost to Georgia so they can’t use that and we unfortunately lost to Arkansas.
@tylorarcher8439 there are actually several common opponents. In fact all but us having Bama and them having A&M, all sec opponents are the same and sadly, they beat all of them by a greater margin except they lost to Georgia at home by 15 where we lost at Georgia by 14.

I'm not worried about vandy. It'll be a home game. Pavia is the only thing they have. Our Defensive line will make his life a living hell.
It was a home game for Alabama too😂
@devvandarden1798 also much earlier in the season before coaches figured pavia out. I'm not worried.
You’ve got to remember there’s a lot of Tennessee fans that buy a season tickets to Vandy games of the year that wetravel to there
We gon have to lock in this week this is similar to the sc game in 22 all we have to do is win and we’re in we control our own destiny the committee can’t deny us if we win

We have to start out in the short and medium pass game then wear them out over the top
The BVS makes me think we lose to Vandy
Same here man. Our offense is just horrible the past two years. Vandy can score and we can't. Also, vandy will keep trying to fight and win of they are down or faking adversity....Tenneseee doesn't seem to.
Watch your mouth

Lol take the vols and the points
Sampson isn't a Heisman candidate; he isn't even a Doak Walker finalist.
Also Nicos numbers in the sec don’t tell the whole story they definitely need to improve not saying that but his been more of a game manager while Dylan Sampson has been our best player
You made 63% sound like 53%
Vandy has tough smart players. QB is good but injured. Vols must stop the run or get beat.
Time for Sampson to be in Heisman race. If not. Something is seriously wrong. There is none better. SAMPSON
Vols have to start fast against an SEC team for once this season
What if all 4 big 12 teams lose and Tulane becomes the 5th highest ranked conference champions. Meaning Oregon, Texas, Miami, Boise State, Tulane get auto bids
Pls don’t choke UT
It’s STILL Vanderbilt . Yes. ,they can beat TN, but Tennessee is about to destroy them .
They will give us a fight. They did beat Alabama😂
Tennessee will cover. Vanderbilt magic has run out
Diego isn't all the way healthy. They need to go after him early.
Sampson for 250 yards and 4tds
JD this is not the hendon hooker offense anymore, it aint 2022. This is a different offense that leans on Sampson, and yeah nico could've done better in some games but we win and we're 10-2 and in the playoff so i think he's done enough personally.

Battered Vols Syndrome (BVS) dictates Vandy will blow us out since we are about to get into the playoffs. Tennessee gonna Tennessee folks.
Umm..Tenn struggles to complete downfield passes..vandy already beat a similar team who has similar struggles
Which team had those similar struggles? I hope you’re not talking about Bama lol. Bama scored 35 in 17 minutes, their defense lost them that game, period. Tennessee’s defense is night and day better than Bama’s.
