Yep our coaches didn't adjust..yours did, great win and didn't like the after game antics by some..
Your coaches adjusted.....but it wasn't necessary to do so.
Your OC stopped doing what was working. Hurd up the middle, to the outside, run the misdirection, let Dobbs keep it, quick slant pass. Early in the 2nd qtr I just knew you guys were about to run away with it.
Wish I could say I can't relate, but Josh Heupel used to do the same thing to us. It's maddening.
Our defense did make a few adjustments though which carried us.
Good luck to you guys going forward.
It never seems to amaze me how Tennessee can find more ways to lose a game than any program I've ever seen. I had a bad feeling when Butch kicked the 3 instead of going for it right on the goaline. We've got a 240 RB and a descent mobile QB and Butch decides to take the 3. Butch coached this game not to lose instead of coaching to win. Bottom line is Butch blew this game on national TV, and everyone knows it. The jury was out if he could be a good in game coach, and tonight our questions were anwsered. I can't wait to hear all the coach talk tomorrow about how our team is young and how were going to start getting ready for next week. What a joke!Our talent was head & shoulders bbetter tonight. When we got the lead Butch went into conservative mode and started coaching to sit on his lead instead of coaching to score and win the game. Bottom line is OU &Stoops come into Neyland with a walkon QB and flat out beat us. It reminded me of the Fulmer days when he would get a lead and just sat on it, and end up losing the game. Some people might get mad, but this loss tonight was down right embarrassing and pathetic!!
I wouldn't blame any of the coaches on either side in this one. Thought it was well coached game. The biggest difference in 2nd half was OU D line dominated the line of scrimmage, they were living in the back field. The O coordinator might have gotten a little conservative but considering how the Vols defense was playing and the fact that Dobson fumbled and it was an OU TD if not for the crazy quick whistle and Hurd fumbled and Vols lucky to get it back I think he wanted to make sure the offense didn't lose the game. Had the O line done their job you win the game. Both O lines struggled, but don't get down on your team you should have a good year. I have been an OU fan for 35+ years and this is one of the most talented teams I have seen. They are young on the O line but have playmaker after playmaker and this is the most depth Stoops has had at Defense since he has been here. After seeing the rest of the SEC teams in action this weekend there isn't anyone you all play the rest of the way out that you can't beat. Best of luck to you the rest of the season!!!!
Tennessee was on him all night the Oline was hurting him, the kid is a baller I'll say it again
