Screw those other games. Let’s worry about this one. It is far from over with our DBs

 

[CPVOL]

I hate this conservative play calling that gives them hope. Throw the ball, try to score, anything but just giving the ball back 2 mins later

 

[LLcoolDave]

Heupel is too freaking conservative with a lead.

 

[Volbrando]

I hate playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Letting them come back

 

[VOLifornia]

Ohio State just lost to Michigan, and we are going full conservative mode at the worst time.

jugular! Go go go

 

[Orange defense]

South Carolina! Wow!

 

[RockyTop140]

When the calls go conservative, the players get scared

 

[BP4Prez]

Why did we snap the ball with 20 seconds left on play clock on second down

 

[molsen81]

Brawl at the Shoe. Better than the Tyson fight!

 

[NOLAPhil]

Game management...

 

[C-south]

Yep.
He runs around like he’s Dabo or something and then chokes

The defense choked as well. Gave a up a qb run on 3rd and 18. Gave a up a cheap one earlier as well.

 

[Bryan1]

Damnit Heupel. Don’t go in a damn shell.

Stupid.

Not liking this play calling here in the 4th.

 

[orangerush]

This is when you need to make plays, no momentum.

 

[Volfan2012]

Wish we knew how to close out a game. Playing conservative on first and second down now they may get the ball back with over 4 minutes left.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Come on guys. Just finish it. It's right there

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Play hard. You got the playoffs coming, you need to have the mindset to play hard late in the game

 

[patrick]

Not liking this play calling here in the 4th.

Went in a shell again.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Our coaches seem so dumb sometimes. Vandy is a threat til the clock is zero. Play like you gotta have more points.

 

[Orange931]

Heupel is too freaking conservative with a lead.

He takes “Protect Our Lead” way too seriously.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Michigan is not a good loss, but they will frame it that way

Well this definitely helps Texas best win in the event if they lose tonight to A&M.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

All because we couldn't score a TD on that last drive.

 

[hjeagle1vol]

Playing not to lose. Every game. All you Heupel lovers...please explain that

The game is certain - you must mean playing not to cover

 

[posivol]

ballsie call

 

[GhostVol]

You gotta think VU's looking for the Sampson run....

Get Nico loose around the end

Or Sampson could just hit a huge hole and make the yardage

 

[ashleyyy]

THANK GOD FOR SAMPSON!
