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

[Volholic]

There's no way anyone can blame the crowd with this performance. The coaching and players have done absolutely nothing to engage this crowd. Put the blame where it belongs...ON THE FIELD. Such a cheap cop out to blame the fans for this garbage play.

I’m not blaming the crowd. The team took them out of it.

 

[Frozevol]

OU is good on defense

Because they can catch passes thrown to them?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Poorly coached team.

It looks like we still have to live or dye by our QB play. I has not been very good tonight.

 

[BeardedVol]

OU is good on defense

Their defense had 4 picks before tonight, and 2 were against Kent State.

 

[YankeeVol]

4 on the season.......and then 3 against the Vols....LOLOLOLOLOL

 

[HarvestVol]

I waited all week for this!

 

[Other_Guy]

Heupel just not a big game coach. His teams make the disastrous mistakes that get you beat. Time for fans to quit paying silly prices for tickets.

He seems like the coach that meh practice is good enough.

 

[Govols23!]

Wearing daisy dukes beats our maxipad all day long.

 

[Sarms58]

Last year we got a TD when we caught them in a single safety on one play, got another score and then just ran the ball to avoid throwing against that secondary…

 

[Ritzwatch]

Can we get rid of the **** black unis and start wearing ORANGE at home now?

 

[Switch 625]

Heupel just has to be better than Pruit and a lot of people will be happy with that.

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

Man. Talk about shameful.

They’ll turn it around in the second half. But my gosh, that was shameful.

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Heupel shouldnt have a job monday. This isnt a one time thing. Team never prepared, cant clock manage, always being outcoached. The first couple yrs was fun. But the cuteness has worn its welcome. Its time to move on, or this is a yearly 7-8 win team with new sec schedules

 

[C-south]

Venables D clearly beating Heupel’s O.

Other than sanders refusing to block a guy that resulted in a td it’s been dumb decisions by Joey.

 

[ETV]

Looking at those stats and we’re down by 6.

Turnovers killing us.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Venables D clearly beating Heupel’s O.

For now. Joey is playing uncharacteristically bad at home.

 

[NATHAN05]

I'm stunned our D has finally stepped up and yet our offense is folding.......I want to say it blows my mind...........but I've also been a Tenn fan for 40+ years so I should be accustomed to it.

Not sure why we're not sticking to the drag routes, flairs, and slants........they were working big time early. They're playing the homerun ball......let your guys catch and get YAC.

 

[Doberman]

Do we even have a strategy to block a fg?

Or a punt? Guy dropped the snap, had a cup of coffee, and picked his butt before kicking. Not a Vol in sight.

 

[rocketskates]

Man I hate Red Skull Venebles

 

[NOLAPhil]

In other news this game is taking forever

 

[G0V0LS33]

Watching these people walking out to leave at the half is crazy. I am afraid the way we are playing it may be empty before the 4th

 

[djones24]

No way you put blame on him for that one.

Yeah. Its a read play. A guy running from def end in your face. Stick the ball in your rbs gut. 100% all 3 on him

 

[Frozevol]

This was the worst quality of football I’ve witnessed since Heupel was hired.

 

[Volfan574]

We are playing like it’s a road game not home.

 

[jasonvol18]

No way you put blame on him for that one.

It's absolutely on him. QB's take sacks all the time and hold on to the ball. Hell, he really should have had 4 turnovers. He was lucky to get the 1st one back
