Twitter reacts to Tennessee’s slow start against Appalachian State

Tennessee finds itself trailing Appalachian State, 13-3, just before halftime in its season opener. That’s right, the Vols, who many picked to win the SEC East, are struggling against a Sun Belt team.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Tennessee’s slow start.

Dear Lord Baby Jesus,
Please don't let us go 3 and out right now…

Really early, but maybe Tennessee is just overrated again?

A few boos from the crowd after Hurd is stopped for no gain on second-and-11. #Vols fans already getting restless.

Oh, Vols nation, this Michigan fan has seen this game before.

Halftime discussion will be how courageous it was for the Vols to play a team from the mighty sun belt in their opening game.
