NC State Right now

[NighthawkVol]

By the same token, a very pedestrian Cincinnati team just beat Houston 34-0. Oklahoma beat them 16-12.

Unfortunately, it does make our blowout win look less impressive. They don't look like a very good team.

Their only 2 wins were against cupcakes and they didn't win those by much. That game they have next week against a Northern Illinois team that beat Notre Dame may not be a gimme.

Ms. Tuffy may be in for a long season.

If we're going to play this game and get all tied up in knots because NC State is getting whipped, then ya gotta go here too! OU 16 - Houston 12 final score. Today Houston 0 - Cincinnati 31 - 9:09 left in the third. Feel any better? WGWTFA! Go Vols!

Sounds like you're laying the groundwork to say OU isn't a good team after Tennessee wins today. Then we'd have 4 wins over horrible teams while Ohio State and UGA have played NFL caliber competition so far

Na, not thinking that deep into it. I just hate that folks are starting to stress about tonight because of what a 1/2 manned NC State is up too. It's gameday. R-E-L-A-X

EDIT: But to your point, I could 100% see Chris Fowler saying that

 

[ButchPlz]

All I'll say is that at least we've laid the wood on our competition. OU has crapped the bed against theirs, but not bad enough that they couldn't clean it up before the sun rose.

 

[MemphisVol77]

Yes we played weak teams but we’ve set multiple records against those teams. What’s the point here?

We're the first top 10 team to start off a season with 3 patsies. Nothing to see here, move along people.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Cincy is up 21-0 against Houston who OU struggled with. Can’t take much from any of it, nothing before today matters

Cincy 34-0. I say you can take something from that. Tennessee just needs to play their game, take the crowd out of it, and win biggly.

The transitive property only applies to the narrative that UT is overrrated.

 

[VolRage]

Yet another reason why I don’t think all the blowout predictions this week have been justifiable. We haven’t played anybody with a pulse.

Neither has Oklahoma so…..

 

[CaliVol2009]

Also of note, we beat their ass completely. Clemson gave up 35 points to them. We didn’t allow an offensive td against NC State.

Ohio State hasn't played anybody, but UGA appears to have a pretty good win over Clemson.

Kent st -0
Penn state 0.

Midway 1st quarter

Whereas, Georgia vs Kentucky ...

 

[imavolfan]

The guys who beat Kentucky by a point?

Jury is still out on that Kentucky defense. They are definitely better than last year. Need a larger sample size to say they’re elite. But they did hold the #1 team to 14.

 

[TnVol!]

Really.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Kent st -0
Penn state 0.

Midway 1st quarter

7-0 now AND Kent State's "Cher-esque" QB was apparently rolled off the field earlier.

 

[jackaro]

I remember when I got attacked by people on here for calling NC State horrible...

Get over it princess, this is social media and that is going to happen.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Kent State just forced a punt after INT earlier in the game. Embarrassing for Penn State

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Vandy just burned Mizzou deep. 7-0

 

[Rocky Top T]

NC St is not very good. They might win 7 games. Maybe

 

[Shirleyudontmeanthat]

NC St is not very good. They might win 7 games. Maybe

What about Kent st?

 

[Col_Cathcart]

What about Kent st?

Also not very good.

Now is Oklahoma any good? We’ll find out in a few hours. Evidence so far is that they might not be either but they’ve got a more impressive name than any of the other 3.

 

[Rocky Top T]

What about Kent st?

They are terrible. You shouldn't have to ask that.

 

[rocketskates]

Oklahoma is a good team. The crowd is the biggest factor tonight. If this game were at Neyland I’d say we whip em pretty good. It’s crucial to get up by a few scores and take the crowd out of the game. The first drive of the game we have to take care of business and not give them a reason to believe.

If they get the ball first and we shut them down to an easy 3 and out, doubt will start to creep in. Conversely if we drive down and score quickly on the first drive it will have the same effect.

And Clemson was at home as well right?
