If we keep this up and win this game convincingly, do Vol Nation a favor and don’t act like we won a championship tomorrow morning. It’s going to be so much sweeter if we remember that we expected this outcome.

I love commercials. I know if I want an evening of practically uninterrupted commercial watching, all I need to do is find a football game to watch. My night is made. I love commercials.

If you get the 4K broadcast there are no commercials. Just a view of the stadium (live)

Pretty sure that was number 9 J Thomas.

Yeah I was wrong but I SWEAR i thought i heard the announcers say it was Boo.

 

[joevols89]

I wish we could bring Bennett Warren up to speed by mid year. We desperately need a talented backup tackle or 2.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Their defense is for real, but Vols have wore them down and exposed them some

Agree

 

[vols 30]

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

If so, we gotta have someone in the middle.

 

[rocketskates]

I want to step on their throat here.

Now would be the time to do it. Their offensive line is absolutely worn out.

For anyone who thought we'd roll OU and their excellent defense on the road in a very hostile environment, this is what we look like on the road against lines that have 4 and 5 stars.

Love the effort the first half, Nico gotta learn to eat it when the pocket collapses. Couple mistakes, thankfully their offense is mediocre and our defense is very good.

Great first half, kinda similar to what was expected by reasonable fans I think
.

Eh, define “”roll”. I’d say a hypothetical 38-6 would be a pretty impressive SEC road win. UT has 204 1st half yards, OU has 82. One defense is excellent, one is not.

 

[Allvols98]

Keep pounding it. Protect the qb and our lead.

 

[HookerToHyatt115]

Boo with a concussion?

where did you see this?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

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

I agree, but I think Venables understands he may not score again

 

[UTfan94]

We can't be putting the ball on the ground the second half. Protect Nico and get out of there with a win. Go Vols!

 

[Vol4Life2289]

The announcers said it was Boo.

It was both of them.

 

[TheDeeble]

No you don't change who you are

I’m not saying we change offense. Just speculating if they let the clock run more between plays.

Perhaps more two TE sets or have a rb stay back to block.

 

[YankeeVol]

Checking in on the TX game, Louisiana-Monroe QB is named General Booty?!?!

The Booty family is big in LA

It’s almost worse though unless you have something else to do than pace back and forth nervously.

 

[patrick]

so.

We need a sustained drive with a touchdown.

Let’s go Vols.

 

[HookerToHyatt115]

Where is @Sooner Redzone now?

 

[Allvols98]

Does heupel have a trick play up his sleeve?

 

[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

 

[vols 30]

The Booty family is big in LA

The Kardashians?

 

[adam.vol]

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

I think it’s going to be easier on a backup to stick with the run. I worry about pass protection from him being so inexperienced.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

We better come out throwing. That backup QB looks way quicker on his feet.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

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

Next we'll see ATVs out there.

 

[SlipKidVol]

I'm sorry, but way to much time on these time outs.
