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

[BreatheUT]

A little surprised we pierced that defense for a big play then ran 3 conservative run plays. Heupel may be trying to wear them down to gash them later.

 

[DC_Vol]

Honestly like playing for the FG here. 3 possession game now

Love that JH isn’t afraid to just grind down Oklahoma. He knows they don’t have the offensive prowess to overcome it.

 

[joevols89]

I’m good with 3 runs there but maybe some creativity on one run? Sweep or quick option pitch?

 

[volnbama_]

when your defense is playing at this level you can be more conservative. I would think those early fumbles has Heupel a little gun shy with a chance at points

 

[posivol]

3 score lead mid 3rd....pour on more steam

 

[hUTch2002]

We have them down 3 scores now. Bright side VN!

 

[mackievol]

Chewing up clock and putting points up

 

[ENGRVOL]

Our defense is elite. The only way we are losing this game is a to there. Dont mind the conservative play calling

Kinda reminds me of the 98 game against UGA.

 

[theroyz71]

Weak play calling there

Conservative play call. Take the points and let the defense eat.

 

[87&91ALUM]

22-3…cmon defense! Pick 6

 

[alavolfan]

I’ll take points… any points is fine by me.

 

[rocketskates]

I hate how conservative we are playing. I get it that their offense is deflated but man, let’s just blow em out and be done with it.

 

[He_Made_It]

What are we doing. We are going conservative, but.....why

Not time yet….incoming..

 

[Vol8188]

The real spread shouldn’t have been our total points but rather our defensive total points vs their offense.

I still think our defense might out score them tonight

Run up the middle
Run up the middle
Run up the middle.

It's laughable.. you might get away with here. But it won't work against Alabama or Georgia

 

[Tenacjim]

Our kicker looks 12 but dude is legit

Has a bit of a Zane Denton vibe.

 

[BeardedVol]

4-13 on 3rd downs.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

We’re down essentially two starters on the O-line against a very good defense on the road. You kick the field goal and go into the bye week.

 

[mpfvol]

Glad for the 3 but CJH playing offense with caution

 

[kptvol1]

I know Nico has struggled a bit, but not that much! He hits that throw, then we just keep it on the ground? Is this an attempt to bury them later with passing or what?

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

I think Josh was considering 4 down territory if he gets more on that 3rd down run.

 

[OptimisticFan]

Are we playing vanilla??

Yes

 

[CNCVol88]

Squirrel has been TRASH tonight

This field has been trash.

 

[Volswin98]

What are we doing. We are going conservative, but.....why

Probably figuring they aren’t going to score 3 times so let’s don’t do anything stupid and get out of here with a W

 

[mattutk2005]

I'm good with it. 3 score game now and OU is garbage so far on offense.
