The Official #6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

I think we may see a lot of the 2 TE sets second half, to help run and pass block, and maybe leak out for a pass at the right time

I agree. Let’s run the ball and tire out that dline. Two tight end set is the way to go.

 

[rocketskates]

Can't believe they allow that chuckwagon on the field.

With the current conditions I can’t believe it even makes it through the sod

 

[HighRockvol]

The announcers said it was Boo.

I think they both hit him about the same time

 

[JxnVFL]

I was driving home during the first quarter and had to listen to the Oklahoma call on Sirius. They actually called our orange pastel. What? The hype for this game was unreal with them. You would have thought they were the second coming for the SEC. I wonder what their perspective is now.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

You must be new here.. this is the part here it gets Ugly.. Nico and the starters are gonna be so hyped to get to play in the second half for the second time this year...It is very obvious this team wants this game for CJH and coach is out for blood. Oklahoma is pretty much done. If we come out and score and get a stop this crowd is toast and we are off to the races.

saying you must be new here to a Tn fan about we’re about to crush this team is wild to me where was you the 20 years before ? Gotta appreciate these moments.

I actually thought it would be closer in the first half. I think we eat in the 2nd. Their D is almost gassed.

Long as we play clean. These turnovers, caused by our inability to give Nico a clean pocket (my biggest concern going into this game) can screw us still.

But...we are notorious for getting the first string QB out of the game only to let the back up come In and tear us up.

Let the past stay in the past!

 

[VAVol85]

The announcers said it was Boo.

They are probably right…I saw No. 9. But I don’t have s spotter!

 

[perico]

Yes I have but I am drinking but ut seems more off than ou

We are down to both backup tackles, and Dayne Davis is getting manhandled. Oklahoma has a legit front 7 so it isn’t like we can just pound it with ease. Rushing yards have been difficult without our QB or RBs able to make cuts.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I have no confidence in OU being able to move the ball.

I don’t either, but I don’t like the mystery of this backup either. I’ve been hurt too many times

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Usually we're looking for halftime adjustments from Banks. Let's see if Elarbee can make significant adjustments.

 

[rocketskates]

Long as we play clean. These turnovers, caused by our inability to give Nico a clean pocket (my biggest concern going into this game) can screw us still.

Hopefully Heard and Campbell heal up over the bye week. Although that last drive Johnson did pretty good.

 

[Sivad]

I have no confidence in OU being able to move the ball.

They have no confidence either. If they play that freshman qb they’re in real trouble.

 

[joevols89]

So does OU go with the backup again? I assume he’s a better runner?

 

[Chickenfarmer]

We have to start getting yards on first down. 2nd and 10 is not a good spot for us to be. I-Line has to play better. Our D has played exceptionally well so far. I just feel like we will break loose in third quarter. We need to take the opening drive to the end zone. Will they keep Arnold on the bench? Nico needs to step up and take off a little quicker when he runs.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Indeed.

 

[Buzzbait]

Venables may try an onside kick to steal a possession, Vols need to be ready

Gambling and giving TN a short field to start the half would be pretty dumb but we can hope.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

You just get the feeling that something is gonna go wrong. A touchdown after half would make me feel a lot better.

I want to step on their throat here.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

We are up 2 scores on the road ...we have NOTHING to complain about!!

 

[Doctrippin]

Vols defense will keep their 0 offensive TD's intact now. OU is done.

 

[hUTch2002]

TE over the middle can work well. Middle of the field is open.

We tried on the 3rd down before our first score but they held the TE so we settled for 3.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Since they kicked their FG OU has had a total of -10 yards in offense and given up a safety. Hope our d line depth just obliterates them like we did against nc state

 

[rocketskates]

hopefully that last drive was the start of the establishment of the running game. Need to grind the clock out in a game like this and keep the pressure on them.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

The run is starting to find some success as their D wears down.
