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

Say what you want about the offense but heupel is calling the game as it should be. Run clock, they can’t do #&$@ on offense

He’s playing smart golf…take what it will give you.

 

[saxvol]

Our playoff chances are looking pretty good now.

I think if I remember correctly if we win tonight the odds that we make the playoffs goes up to like 80%

 

[Flipdaddy]

We are just going to have to get used to Josh’s style of play calling . We get another touchdown and I’m good. Give Oklahoma credit, they have a very good defense.

It feels chess like at this point. Or like a Boa Constrictor squeezing out all life.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Our D should be scaring everyone in the SEC right now

 

[posivol]

loved seeing moi get that tfl

 

[BreatheUT]

I'd like to see us get a touchdown to start the 4th quarter.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

Pound the rock O! We're gonna break one!

I agree. With Dayne Davis in it’s not worth risking another strip sack

 

[LUVMESUMVOL]

With how bad our offense play calling is...our Defense us playing ELITE. Like NC type of Elite

He knows OU offense isn’t doing much the rest of the night so he’s being more conservative because that 22 is enough for the win tonight

 

[JMSqb11]

I’m one to call out coaching and calling plays “not to lose”, but it’s simple math here. OU needs 3 scoring drives to take lead or tie… they would have to simply pull a 180 on their offense thus far. Odds of that? Very low.

 

[Volintheswamp]

How would you rank Tim Banks amongst all the DCs that UT has had? Top 5?

 

[YankeeVol]

Oklahoma's starting QB must be injured. I can't believe they would throw a true freshman to the wolves like this.

He looks fine on the sideline

 

[johnboyhunter]

Nico has only 5 or so incompletions. Our Offensive Line has really struggled. Play calling is very conservative as well.

NICO > ARCH who is around 47% tonite with 2 INTs.

 

[DC_Vol]

I'm not impressed with our Offense tonight. I know this OU D is playing good right now but we aren't running the ball all that great and Nico has missed a lot tonight. On a brighter note, Our D looks great!

Looks like the offensive gameplan was different from the start. Didn’t go hurry up. Just working on grinding OU down and happy to play the field position game.

 

[GhostVol]

You gotta love the panicky body language from a QB subject to a jailbreak blitz

 

[Creeker]

I think a lot in here are spoiled with seeing the offense against really bad teams. Our offensive numbers aren’t awful right now and we’ve not been as aggressive as we could be because we can fully trust this defense and not have to be so aggressive.

 

[Score50]

We are up 19 going into the 4th. How many would've taken that early this morning? Enough with the crying about being conservative

I’d like 26 much better!!

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Tough. **** happens. They could be out a while. Time to step up.

Point is it hasn’t mattered because the defense is EATING. Very pleased with the performance.

I would've taken it. I knew OU had a great defense.

 

[Sarms58]

That sack was sweet…through 3 quarters the D has given up a net 98 yards

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

We are just going to have to get used to Josh’s style of play calling . We get another touchdown and I’m good. Give Oklahoma credit, they have a very good defense.

It helps that our Oline is out or playing hurt

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Lmfao if our D doesn’t score we are done, right? How could we ever win with our D playing like this

Stop embarrassing yourself

You took his post way too personal. It was clearly a joke.

Quit embarrassing yourself.

 

[Allvols98]

I know OU defense is good, but we will need to be better on offense during the rest of sec play .

Sure beats 3rd & Chavis
