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

It’s just a matter of what you’re willing to accept. I’m not judging either way. But this is who Josh is.

Apparently we’re just supposed to accept this though. And pay the talent tax while we’re at it.

 

[Vol737]

Another injury. Good grief!

 

[FranklinVFL]

W

It’s not sucked. Our backs are right at 3ypc. We needed 2.

What game are you watching?? And who ran that third down? Not our “right at 3 ypc” backs

 

[The Original Fade]

We’re gonna lose this game by 2 TDs. Or more

 

[MeanOrange]

He's fat and unshaven. That's obviously why

He does look like a bum on the sideline.

 

[G0V0LS33]

This team is cooked. Buy your tickets to Memphis for the liberty bowl

 

[NOLAPhil]

I'm fine with halzle and banks being re-evaled at season's end

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Our defense is too banged up.

It's more than just being banged up

 

[MurphyVol]

This game makes me sad

 

[hardyemt_p]

Just wait, next year will be OUR year

 

[Other_Guy]

99 yards in the 1st half and about to go up by double digits with a QB who sucks.

 

[GhostVol]

Heupel has no answer when the defense makes adjustments. He just keeps running the same predictable plays. Banks is a lost cause.

And when you have to score half a honeybun just to be IN a game??

 

[YankeeVol]

Oh look, a Vol is "down" again......

 

[posivol]

get that ball out

 

[RDU VOL#14]

They’re moving the pocket. We need to bring some guys off the edge , safety or a corner. We have to speed up his decision making process. Hes too comfortable

 

[bpalmer28]

At 2 yards per carry?

YOur RBs are averaging more than that, but yes.

 

[VolRage]

I’d trade Huepel for Kiffin to tomorrow and never look back. Heupel isn’t the guy that will bring the Vols back to a blue blood program. He’s too soft and attached to his assistants to let the weak links go. It’s obvious, he’s okay with mediocrity.

**** no. I’m not watching that crap.

 

[barney]

I was so confused when all the 'experts' on youtube thought we'd run away with this game haha

 

[Freak]

What's changed since '05-ish?

Lots. Winning more games and scoring a lot of points on average. Beat Alabama and Florida.

We knew this year was going to be a step back most people thought 9-3 or 8-4, with a few 10-2 or 7-5 outliers. We all got excited watching Joey and got our hopes up, but he's not been that guy tonight. Defense struggled with tackling and injuries.

It is what it is. Like I posted earlier, I get the conservative play calls from a football perspective, but conservative Heupel just doesn't work.

 

[orangerush]

One team adjusted at half, the other did not and it’s very apparent.

I would love to here Heup just once say in the after game press conference what adjustments they made during the games, crickets

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Defense is waning

So is the offense.

 

[Matt2496]

All I'm going to say is that there should be some serious staff shakeups this off-season. If Heupel doesn't, he isn't going to last long-term at Tennessee.

 

[Frozevol]

They’ll have to give tickets away

 

[OrangeTsar]

OU has been more physical. That is the difference in the game
