"And if there was an Arch, he'd be a player, and he'd do those things that players do when they're named Arch"

Somebody shoot me please

Guys quit complaining about Heupel and all the coaches, even the defense has played well. This half is on two players... well one play and a kicker

Play calling when we get inside the 25 has been bad. Also, stop running on first down. Stop forcing it deep. This is the same defense they ran last year.

 

[vavolfan6]

The worse has already happened. We need to move on, calm down, and just let the offense work. We are trying for the big play when the rest of the passing game is working just fine.

 

[Other_Guy]

Guess we know why they are the #1 defense in SEC.

Bro they've had 4 takeaways all season tho.

 

[Volholic]

People can finally STFU about Nico after this. I don’t like him either but he did beat Oklahoma.

 

[CobbWebb71]

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.

We can’t run on this defense.

Pains me to say it, but I just don't see a playoff caliber team in Tennessee right now. If we make it somehow, great, but it's looking like a pretty long shot.

We are not making the playoffs.

 

[patrick]

I will be shocked if Heupel and HIS Vols can pull this out.

Heupel wouldn't dare run off tackle, instead he runs it straight up the damn middle. Aguilar pressing now because of suspect play calling....

Tennessee should be dominating this game but I guess this is the ANNUAL Heupel Stinker.

Playoff? When did you lololol. Some of you have some blinders on or good alcohol. Lolol. This team was NEVER more than a 8 win team max

 

[first time caller]

We don’t have that much, but we have screwed ourselves all year and only have beaten winless SEC teams (until one of the winless teams beat one of the other winless teams today)

Our field goal kicker has screwed us big time.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Thankful to have JA, but he needs to get out this funk and see the field the second half!

 

[TartanTurff]

Play calling is very predictable, two run then a difficult pass, offense moves for a while then we feel we need to run up the middle

 

[TN1111]

We have over 300 yards of offense. We’re screwing the pooch ourselves.

This. Our offense can move the ball on them. Aguilar has to stop getting greedy. Be patient and take the underneath stuff. The one turnover was not his fault

 

[therealitytheory]

Damn, people giving up on Joey.

30 minutes to go. LFG

 

[sambronkowitz]

This is the worst crowd that has been here at Neyland in years. Quiet and no life. It has been this way from the start of the game. Looking at the blue hair section, it has been over half empty since the end of the first and the double yy/xx sections of the North end zone have not stood up at all during the game. Oklahoma fans are louder than ours and we out number them by at least 80,000.

Gee, after that s***show of a first half, I wonder why.

 

[BleedOrange81]

I think a lot of bad decisions are in Joey. He is not seeing the rush at all. Banks is too scared to rush more than 4 be cause we cannot cover anyone. Changes need to be made this offseason after we end up in the Liberty Bowl.

Not going to happen..coaching staff isn’t capable of it.

 

[CAVPUT]

We're out of playoff contention if we lose this game.

It will be interesting to see how the team plays going forward when there's nothing but pride left to play for.

Pride? This staff? This team? I hope to see it, but my confidence is extremely low.

 

[ETV]

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

I’d walk back to the car and get another shot of Jameson too after witnessing that half.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

For as bad as the offense played,with 3 TO,we are only down 6

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I hope they got some spinach in the locker room.

 

[SCSmokey]

We are not making the playoffs.

Hope not. Get embarrassed again.

 

[90 Vol]

Is there any way we could start making 2 game threads. One for sober people who have a higher maturity level than a preteen, and another for well.... whatever this thread is?

Good idea. Sign me up for the drunk thread.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

regroup blow em out in the 2nd half

Name checks out
