The Official #14 Tennessee vs. #18 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[CAVPUT]

And that's how you win games. We can't make a 37 yarder but their guy nails it from 55.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Why didn't we take that penalty?

Third and long is our defense’s kryptonite

 

[Through_The_T]

Heupel doesn’t trust the defense, and rightly so. OU kicker made an elite kick, not a lot else to say about it.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Should be up 3 scores and this game is tied.

 

[VOLinAL]

I’m fine with not taking the penalty. Give them the opportunity to convert a third and long like everyone has this year.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

If you take the penalty its 3rd down again take the result of the play

Taking the penalty knocks them out of fg range

 

[TAF]

This game is tied and should be 28 to 0.

Not good as we should have put them away early and now it’s tied.

fyp

 

[chrisvannoy]

Their D will be gassed by halftime on pace for 90-100 plays

 

[MemphisVolFan1978]

Why not take the penalty have they shown that they are able to make more than 5 yards?

Our defense has shown that they can give up 3rd and a mile.

 

[Frozevol]

Embarrassing we're freaking tied with this team. Looks like Fulmer vs Spurrier

Not even close. We’d be down 28-7.

 

[djones24]

This is the most pathetic football team. Undisciplined, coaches dont have a clue, not prepared. Dominate game and tied because of stupid ****. Typical tennessee game, never gets old

 

[Doberman]

To be fair, it was 50+ yards. They got a good kicker while our kicker is a choker.

Theirs is 5/8, ours is 11/14.

 

[knox73]

Tackling has improved. Need to give Turbyville chance as PK. Gilbert is abysmal.

 

[VFL1127]

Our kicker is such a choke artist

 

[Legion of Doom]

Take the penalty so dumb.

 

[djwes]

Maybe someone else will hire Josh.

There are a few pop water, peewee coaches around here that know how to use timeouts

 

[CAVPUT]

2 illegal formations on WR in this game

This team is just poorly coached. There's no discipline. Reflects the coaching.

 

[FranklinVFL]

We’ve left too many points on the field already.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Taking the penalty knocks them out of fg range

But it would be 3rd down why would you give them a chance to pick up the 3rd down rather force a fg

 

[Bollweevil]

Why didn't we take that penalty?

Analytics???

 

[Larkin]

anyone complaining about not taking the penalty has forgotten what our defense has done all year.

 

[BigD]

Remember their offense has only scored 3 points with a pre season Heisman contender. We are doing okay.

 

[Vol737]

Ain’t no way either of these teams are gonna be scoring 40 some odd points. The rock fight is on. We’ve already let OU off the hook a couple of times.

 

[ETV]

Why leave them in FG range?

Normally, that’s a difficult one to make but he should have taken that. D is playing well and OU offense is only Mateer on busted plays and short passes.
