The Official #6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

Maybe they’ll targe Huepel…

Yeah. And maybe Heupel finds himself under house arrest in Knoxville..

 

[saxvol]

All heupel is doing is showing off the Defense! He knows the game is won, he is just letting them show off. We have best D in country and he wants to show it

Maybe you are right but our D has yet to face an elite offense this year.

 

[posivol]

good d

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I’m beginning to think that as well.

Yea know what turns the tides of games?? Turnovers, huge momentum swings. Why push the ball down the field with a defense that has the second most interceptions in the country with a freshman qb.?

 

[alavolfan]

We’ve shown flashes, but l REAKKY want a TD here. A jet sweep to Sampson on the run.That would work.

 

[GVol1966]

No I was running to the sidelines there .. his running back still running.

And the O line was looking back at all the D players they were supposed to block but didn’t

 

[Vol_in_NC_1999]

ou has the 10th ranked d....tuff sledding

You can barely plow through this s*** a** turf, much less sled.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Winning by 3 possessions.

It’s funny how it doesn’t feel like it

Probably a good sign that we are so critical of a team up 19 on the road

 

[CPVOL]

Nico refuses to keep the ball on the read option.

He’s made some unnecessary cuts also but as much as I want to chew on his ass, I have to remind myself that this is his first SEC road game

 

[VOL RN]

If it were anyone else Tennessee would be blowing them out

 

[wmcovol]

Regardless of how this game goes. I’m here to formally eat crow on defensive complaints the past few years. We just lacked bodies. It’s a freak show in the best possible

You ever seen a TN D this elite? Honest question

Yes. The 71 defense scored as many TDs as the offense & ‘85 embarrassed 2 Heisman winners, one with NFL talent galore. ‘98 d was great as was the 2005 def thst Fulmer wasted.

 

[GAVol]

Why is the play calling so vanilla don’t want to embarrass Oklahoma?

Up 3 scores. Both OTs are hurt. Already seen 2 strip sacks.

 

[Chickenfarmer]

Running the clock, running the ball, and running out of OK with a solid win.

 

[DC_Vol]

Banks adjustments this year have been next level.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

OK has 17 yards rushing.

 

[The Original Fade]

Winning is indeed a bad strategy

Playing it safe on offense on the road can get you beat

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

He's taking what OK is willing to give and expanding on it

I'm not sure I agree. The defense is selling out, stunting, and blitzing to stop the run.
We're running straight into it

 

[pimo1]

Jackson Ross is losing the punting battle its close though

 

[Wezcoast]

It's like how Georgia beat us in 22' . We weren't moving the ball well and not scoring , so Kirby Smart just slowed it way down and ground it into the dirt.

 

[Volintheswamp]

Killing the clock,while not risking an injury or turnover, and getting the win. There’s nothing wrong with what we’re doing. Our defense is playing well, let them lead the way. OU doesn’t have the offense to win this, both coaches know it. Just sit on them until the clock runs out.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

We’re beating #15 by 19 as the away team. Win this game take the bye week and get healthy. It’s a long season

 

[Sarms58]

ou has the 10th ranked d....tuff sledding

Yea, our receivers can’t get separation and the OL is having trouble pass blocking…

 

[OrangeFrog]

Man...we still just have a hard time getting home to the QB.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Why have they changed the D pressure

 

[posivol]

bring it d
