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

[jhcrane14]

Oklahoma has nearly all of their points off of turnovers. The one turnover we get we go three and out. We have a long ways to go to win this game, even if we have the lead.

 

[UTwild82]

That's the play call you make when your QB has coughed it up 3 times already. Yeah, I kind of hate the call but I get it.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Heupel afraid to let Joey throw the ball?

We might be coaching around him the rest of the way if we can. I don’t think we can

 

[84Volfan]

Running the ball on 3rd and 2 is crazy?

It is when OK has stopped the run all night

 

[ButchPlz]

I literally just don't understand that call at all. We never run that play. Needed to either hand it off or do our screen.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Heupel needs a new 8 Ball. (Blue Font)

 

[butler5]

Can't Capitalize on the turnover is not good.
Not sure i trust our D this many times

 

[vols 30]

What kinda of play call was that ?

The kinda of call that gets you beat

 

[90 Vol]

Georgia - we force a fumble and run the ball to no success and punt

Bama - we force a fumble and run the ball/notch a shotgun snap that no one was ready for to no success and punt

No Oklahoma - we force a fumble and run the ball to no success and have to punt.


Why is Heupel so scared of trying to strike after a momentum shift?

Protecting that 1 point lead.

 

[Persian Vol]

By far the worst offensive play call of the night. Beating them through the air all game and 3 runs for a 3 and out.

Atleast run a screen or something with a chance. Joey doesn't have stone feet, but they are definitely feet stuck in some clay

 

[joevol33]

That looked like the ole playing not to lose play calling

Playing not to lose gets us beat every time

He’s throwing picks like the mafia

 

[PA Vol]

You mean when you have a lead you don’t stop trying to add it it?

Brilliant!

 

[Voltrapnbama]

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.

I agree with that. I said run the ball because in the first half the OU offense did nothing. Just run it and throw short and make them beat us with offense

 

[Sarms58]

Heupel is always good for 1 of 2 retarded play calls

Well, that play works better if you block…I guess the center was supposed to pickup that guy but he was too slow getting over

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Heupel has got to get better at playcalling after a TO, they waste so many opps

 

[bigdaddy]

Are we trying to ****ing lose what the fick

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

We have to ramp up the pressure on this quarterback

 

[brubaker]

0 pts on a TO= Killer

Story of the year

 

[BallinVol]

Running the ball on 3rd and 2 is crazy?

On a night where our running game is almost non-existent? Yes

 

[AntiochVol81]

OU knew we was running no surprise we ran it three straight times..

 

[FranklinVFL]

Running the ball on 3rd and 2 is crazy?

When your running game has sucked wind all game?

And you decide to run the QB?

 

[vavolfan6]

Almost time to abandon the run game. We aren't getting much push despite having so many snaps.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Need to turn them over again
