Conservative Playcalling (merged)

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Got a win. On the road. At night. With a 1st year starting QB.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

Oline struggling is what caused it imo. He let the defense do their thing and scaled back the offense to minimize turnover risk.

A road win is always great. But the offensive woes still leave a little sour taste.

The O - Line injuries and the two Nico fumbles were part of that.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Our fans can’t enjoy a win it seems like.

Screw them. I’m enjoying it. We just beat OU in their first SEC game on the road. Can’t enjoy that, can’t enjoy anything

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

they will lose down the road with this conservative crap.

We won't play many defenses as good as Oklahoma's the rest of the way.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Weird for heupel to take his foot off the gas. His way of letting OU know their offense is terrible? lol just a weird offensive night.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

It worked out. Defense is legit.

Not a fan of backing off the throttle so early, though.

Me neither, but when you have them scrambling for a new quarterback at halftime I kinda get it.

I don't expect this to be common. If we had our regular starters on the o-line I think offensively we would have been much more aggressive. It wasn't working great in the 1st half so he made a change.

Each game has its own plan and in-game dynamics, Brandon.

Not looking good for our games against Alabama and Georgia. We held on to win against the 15th ranked team and, we really don’t know just how good they are/were.

 

[Boston Vol]

called a very conservative game

Pass protection wasn’t good and the defense was playing their asses off. He did exactly what needed to be done.

Down the road hopefully we have our starting Oline healthy.

He called a smart game with the defense playing like it was.

It’s a great win but that last quarter was questionable. He left it in the hands of OU when he could’ve put it away.

He won.

That's it.

That's what you saw.

We were never really threatened. Enjoy the win.

This.

 

[CBR07]

Looked like a coach that has grown up to me.

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Where were tightend plays tonight,open in flat.

 

[Vol865]

We won against a good team on the road and we're 4-0. I'll take it.

With no injuries on that pos field

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

The Vols are 4-0

I was thinking the exact opposite. Our defense played great and Nico got his first win on the road at night. Georgia beat Kentucky 14-13. Vols and Dawgs will be a great game.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Disagree. Defensive performance and much needed given our injury situation along the offensive line. Very, very impressive win tonight.

@McDad never takes it easy on his almater
