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

[BeardedVol]

On the upside, don't think we have to worry about Oklahoma trying to hire Huepel when they eventually fire Venables.

 

[Sarms58]

We also played Arkansas. So two winless duds that we beat played. One of the winless duds had to win.

And furthermore, either of the previously winless duds that we beat still haven't beaten a team with a win..

At least we now have one win against a team with a winning record…

 

[D-Vols]

Geez, you’re losing by six points and you’re at home! You’d think the sky was falling in an Armageddon sort of way with 90% of these comments. You guys got this, just don’t have 3 turnovers in the second half! TN is the better team!!!! Relax and enjoy the second half comeback!!! Seriously, it’s coming

Some of these people have never struggled in their life and only know how to whine about it

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

We have to be able to run the football

 

[Voltrapnbama]

You want us to keep running when we're averaging 1.7 yards per rush?
Yeah, let's keep doing that

Yes. Let’s keep throwing it deep and turning the ball over as well. Makes sense

Sitting here in the stadium wondering if I need to start drinking.

About 7 hours ago!

 

[herkyvol]

Joey on the take?

 

[1allvol]

Hopefully it doesn’t come down to the kicking game…

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Heupel has to address the kicking situation.

He needs to address that and then some. This team isn’t disciplined.

 

[NATHAN05]

GT is losing to NCSU and USCe isn't exactly dominating Ole Miss............one of those go down coupled with UM defeat?...............We need to take advantage. Silver platter is right there for the taking.

 

[bpalmer28]

Well this is our season, they better shape up or we move on to basketball.

Big “ifs” here but if Joey can protect the damn ball, Max kicks the ball straight, and everyone else continues to play well, we’ll be fine.

 

[PA Vol]

We used to lose to those duds. It’s going to be a while where I’m so angry I forget that.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Well gentleman, let me say this crowd has died. Team came out to what sounded like a funeral home up in here.

 

[BP4Prez]

Obviously need a stop to start the half. Not the defense you want to try to have to come from behind against

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Yes. Let’s keep throwing it deep and turning the ball over as well. Makes sense

We have 250 yards at half. You don't have to throw it deep. We're eating the intermediate throws up.
We have not been able to get any push. Zero holes and their dline is getting pressure.

 

[GhostVol]

On the upside, don't think we have to worry about Oklahoma trying to hire Huepel when they eventually fire Venables.

Except for the fact that it would still be an upgrade

 

[Jax_Vol]

Put on more steam

 

[Pappy]

playing like this they’ll never be Florida or Vanderbilt

 

[Other_Guy]

Been this way all year. We make stupid boneheaded plays and stupid penalties. We are not disciplined. I’m afraid some of this is nil. Nobody looks dominant in the sec except maybe A &M but I don’t know how all they've played. This is not being prideful of the team your playing for anymore. This is about money now and maybe some guys just don’t give a **** because they already got paid.

I dont think Heupel demands that much in practice. His teams are too undisciplined and inconsistent for me to think they practice half of how Kirby or Saban does. Its just good enough. We'll beat them with my scheme.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

All of a sudden we start going for the bombs when the five and 10 yard routes were working just fine. I do not understand the mindset of this play calling. If they’re gonna give it to you, freaking take it.

Every week

LOL, Aguilar is trying to give the game to Oklahoma all by himself. He’s a turnover machine.

 

[ScreamingEagleVol]

In case you’re not watching, we’ve moved the ball at will and then proceeded to implode on our own. We are on pace for our usual 500 yds. OU defense isn’t “elite”.

Hell, you act like Oklahoma is 100% healthy on D and we’re just kicking their asses. 500 yds and how many points?? Moving the ball between the 20’s racking yards without points isn’t a championship caliber team, just a good team.

 

[camp_steveo]

Defense needs to come up with a big 3 and out (or better yet a turnover) to start the 3rd quarter.

 

[Go47]

Oklahoma can run it a little. We cannot. They are pressuring the QB. We are not. They have no turnovers and we have 3.

I know we have made a lot of yards, but we could we down more. We held them to 3 FGs.

 

[orangerush]

We don’t need to throw the ball 40 yards down the field every offensive series.
