Good Article on Heupel's Conservative Playcalling

Yep. Aggressively offense-oriented coach leans on spec ops defense. Does what's needed to win the game without losing his QB to injury on a crappy field with backup OLinemen.

Smart, smart coach.

And thank Tim Banks and all the defensive coaches that we have the kind of defense that Josh _can_ lean on when needed.

Go Vols!

The penalties were 10-3 obviously in favor of Oklahoma. You probably have to factor that in as to why Vols dialed it down. Plus horrible field conditions.

Huepel knew early on there was no way Oklahoma was gonna score enough points to beat us. The only way we could have lost that game was if we gave it away. And we almost did when Nico fumbled inside our 5 yard line. That's when Huepel wisely pulled back on the aggressive play calling and started making safe play calls.

In big time SEC road games the key is to simply win. The stakes are too high to be concerned with style points.

Very impressive win.

I think this win, on the road
in a tough environment was a huge stepping stone for nico.

I'm very high on this team. Need some health and development on the O Line, thankful for the bye week.
