The SEC is gonna beat up each other this year. Nico will be fine and just learned some hard lessons that only playing in these games will teach. Our O-line is a weakness and that will have to be worked on. Arkansas also had a couple of former Vols to help with the game plan. They had an amazing game plan for our offense tonight. The Defense bent but did not break until the end of the game. We had a chance to win at the end and I wish Nico would have ran more but we will be ok. There are worse people to lose to than Sam Pittman. He is a pretty likeable guy.

GO VOLS!!!!!!!

The issue is that this offense isn't fun to even watch. I was hoping Oklahoma was an aberration but it wasn't. This is just a pitiful offense. I hate to say it, teams are not fun to watch when their offenses are dreadful.

My wife’s a pro girl who loves the Steelers. I have to watch this horrid muddy offense Saturdays and Sundays now. It’s not fun at all.

Not panicking, but they need to figure some things out quick. Did they spend the entire bye week focusing on another team? Because it sure looked like it.

Same thing happened to the Vols as happened with Bama. Rat poison, as Saban called it. You could see it immediately- lack of focus, poor tackling, lack of execution on offense. Nico was part of it but he wasn’t the only one. Turning point for me was the running into the kicker penalty. That prolonged their drive and changed momentum.
Tough loss against a tough team on the road in the SEC. Georgia almost lost to Kentucky, who got blown out by SC, who almost lost to Old Dominion.
That’s the way stuff happens in this conference.
Half the Top 11 lost today. That’s wild.
These guys will regroup and we got 4 straight in Neyland.

We can't go to the playoffs with 3 losses

The good news is I don’t know if there is any dominant team. Texas and Ohio State….maybe? After that it’s kinda a bunch of good teams.

But we have to beat Georgia or Alabama and win the rest. Lose both of those and we’re likely out.

1.That was a bad loss. 2. Defenses are going to play us like this.3. It's apparent that the training wheels haven't been taken off Nico.

No they haven't.. He just needs to run out of there more. If they're playing zone like that take what they’re giving you.

No one wants to hear this right now I know but Arkansas is a good football team. They are a couple plays from being undefeated. We played poorly and still had a shot at the end. I used to blow my stack at games like this but it’s not worth it. I don’t play on the team, they’ll get it fixed or they won’t. We have problems along the offensive line IMO. It is what it is.

Don’t be a moron. Sorry. I’m just sick of this narrative. Do you know what we’re actually missing from that 22 offense besides a guy that didnt call plays? (Hence his offense this years blows against competent teams) I’ll give you another chance

"Good teams" don't have 220+ yards of offense in a half, and have a 2/1 ratio in time of possession, and go into half time with 3 points.

They are a bad team, and we played them poorly.

Vandy’s offense vs Bama looks far better than ours. This isn’t one of those problems that gets fixed before Bama and UGA. Unfortunately, it looks like who we are and who we’re going to be this season, imo.
