The Official Tennessee @ Oklahoma Game Thread, 8:00pm ET, ABC

[Weezer]

Our youth is showing, but so is the potential they have. Despite the scoreboard, I can honestly say I like what I'm seeing from our team. You can't coach experience. That seems to be the key ingredient we're missing atm, and that cannot be laid at CBJ's feet.

 

[OrangeSquid]

Ha! My fiance didn't get it though. Ha! Ha!

Had to like this!

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

I hope a couple are watching - they would start right away if they come to UT

Yup

 

[SpringBokVol]

Wow. Florida just got so lucky. Omg.

 

[Volman69]

:thumbsup:

How the HELL have they not called holding on their left tackle this ENTIRE GAME

 

[BrierVol61]

we need to make a few more breaks on Defense, we will be in this until the end!

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Lol kentucky. Losers always find a way.

 

[NickZ4UT]

Good first half by our Vols. They could have folded but didn't. This game isn't out of reach. I love the grit of this team and coaching staff. It will translate to wins. Win or lose, our Vols will be a better team after this game.

Exactly my thoughts. This game should help this team mature quickly and gain confidence to play with the big boys on the schedule.

I thought we were young last year ?

And the year before that. It's the never ending excuse.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Nice try Heather. This ain't Dooley.

I missed it what happened?

 

[PC Jr.]

By the way, I didn't think it would be this close. This is a winnable game. UT can win...if they get some play from the O-line and make sure tackles on defense. I think that really makes it worse. We ARE competitive.

 

[Tarkus]

Like it or not, this is Jones' team. Dooley is gone.

A couple of more stud O line recruits might be a huge difference in this game right now.

They would still be freshmen going against seniors. Hopefully this line will improve as the year goes on and not everyone is going to have a front seven like OU

Well if we strip it they're down.

 

[1972 Grad]

Ha! My fiance didn't get it though. Ha! Ha!

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that I would be making fun of the person who I was planning to spend the rest of my life with.

 

[PC Jr.]

Go vols!!!!

 

[JohnMarxism]

How wild will it be if Okie turns it over on their first drive

 

[xTRAVASSx]

Always seems like we are missing some piece to a puzzle to keep it from being completed. With experience on the line we would be taking them behind the wood shed. The east doesn't seem so scary if we had a little decent o line play.

 

[top5vols]

OK comes to us next year.

 

[governmentmule]

No but it would at least protect Worley's blind side.

if this O line knew where to be,I think they would be great


and who gets the ball in the 2nd half ?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Onside kick.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

In my honest opinion we would win this game with a good OL. We have better talent across the board other than our terrible OL. I like what I'm seeing. But you can't have Worley blink once an then get sacked. Some of them were three man rushes.

Agree 100%

 

[Jrobb]

The o-line isn't horrible, they are young and going against one of the best pass rushes in the nation.

 

[BurnieVeazey]

OK comes to us next year.

Holdklahoma?

They do

Yep... Ole Miss and Vandy rebuilt in 2 years. Tennessee cant pull it off in 5.
