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

[Dergibvol]

Any chance darr can return kicks and young punt. Special teams might be better that way

 

[Volnation1027]

I love this team and coaching staff.. We will do well in SEC play ,but tonight we just weren't ready on Oline. It's STILL great to be a Tennessee VOL!

 

[TNHopeful505]

We need something big.

I don't wanna knock the opponent out, I just want to hang 12 rounds in the ring with a heavyweight. That's what I want. Just keep fighting guys.

Just keep fighting.

 

[JohnMarxism]

Put in Peterman to be safe?

 

[VolsFanRJ]

Butch will kick himself for not pulling Coleman Thomas after watching film.

 

[1allvol]

Scoops will run it up if he can, would love another year to talk about how his team's are better than any in the SEC. We will be a different team when they come to Knoxville.

 

[92volalum]

It's all good. They gotta come to our house next year and karmas a you know what.

that really made a diff with the ducks didnt it..

 

[GAVol]

Why on earth would they kick it?

 

[TNHopeful505]

What an A-Hole.

 

[Antwturn]

Any "realists" still out there still predicting a W for UT?

Any second now we're going to explode on offense

One ... or less.

 

[1982Alum]

You got that right - we will get to a bowl if he doesn't go down.

I'm not sure. 6-6 at best right now.

 

[nomads-11]

Well O-Line is young and we knew that. IMO though, OC calling a pretty bad game here after halftime. He's gonna have to show me something going forward.

 

[pualsline]

So many teams that compete against teams they shouldn't. But not us. Ever.

Last Year
Tenn. vs UGA lost in OT
Tenn vs USC win


2012
Tenn 14 vs Fl 10 at the half
Tenn 44 vs UGA 51 had the ball on a final drive

 

[rocketskates]

My biggest fear in this game was that we would get absolutely mopped ala Oregon 2013 and we haven't. So the improvement is there.

 

[BoColoco]

Come on D - stuff em.

 

[Vols Bish!!]

JHC....some of you folks are not going to make it to puberty. We are simply doing the best We can. The fight is still there and the score at end will be what it is. They are learning big lessons tonight and if our young fans wish to make it to senior citizen age still following the vols, I can only suggest you flip the channel now. This is not the kiffin or dip wad dooley years, this is CBJ and staff bringing us back from the low of all lows in vol land.

Agree, to a degree. We should still try and compete, which means scoring points, which means getting first downs, which means Worley trying to get the first down with his feet on occasion. There is no reason Worley can't run the football to keep the defense "Honest." If they are worried about injury, then put a skirt on him. I know we are a year or two away from having the talent and experience to make a serious run. However, it shouldn't prevent us from playing to win.

 

[alavolfan]

And next week is a PO'd Ga.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

The game is going exactly the way that most of the media analysts predicted. Anyone who's truly surprised by the result is a deluded fool.

 

[Slydell]

Fake? Maybe.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think the D will take a huge step forward next year. Not sure about the offense.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Good time out, give the D as much of a break you can.

 

[NickZ4UT]

The O-line is young and it's a tall ask to have these boys block that dline. All things considered I think this will be a valuable learning experience for this team.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Any chance darr can return kicks and young punt. Special teams might be better that way

lol: Post of the night!

 

[govols/cc]

Now that's bad coaching. Knowing when they call a TO on 4th they're going for it & not prepared.
