Virginia looks impressive

Up 3-0 in the 7th on the Vols. UVA has a coach who has been there and done that and it shows, Vols playing really tight to this point.

Tennessee goes to their closer down 3. Now down 5. When do they take him out?

 

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

They are aggressive at the plate. Through 8 innings they are seeing 2.5 pitches per plate appearance.

The announcer had a good point - Tennessee's field is all turf, and Omaha is all natural (dirt and grass). Texas also plays on an all-turf field unless I'm mistaken, and Dudy Noble is all natural except around the edges. Maybe that'll give us an advantage like it may have done with Virginia.

The natural field ate Notre Dame up. No doubt that can be an issue

 

[Ralph Cramden]

I guess I was totally wrong about Tennessee. I thought they were much better than this. Esp offensively. Whats up with all the cheese heads??

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

I think Tennessee got Omahaed. The moment was too much.

The starter for UVA is a 17'n stud. Has been all year. His losses have mostly been when they couldn't find 3 runs for him.

160+ Ks in 100 innings. 32 walks.

This makes tonight's game even more vital. The difference in facing a wounded UT in an elimination game and a Virginia team with not their ace on the mound is massive.

Agreed. Don’t love the idea of MacLeod facing Tennessee with our season on the line so soon after they just teed off on him.

On the flip side, I would like our chances with him in a winners bracket game against UVA.
