Honestly am surprised at this take..

Hawkins wouldn't have done 💩 with another quarter...the only reason any of that happened was because we softened up and sat back in the 4th.

This fool claims to be some football guru film savant...how could he not see that?...it was obvious as hell-o to me.

I don't think Hawkins would have survived much longer as hard as we were hitting him.

Also pissed off we waited so long to start spying him with AC. That would have put a stop to that.

Is the term “oskie” a UT only thing? I was very surprised when they acted like they didn’t know that term last night

Yes. It's in the General's Maxim #5, of course. It was still in use as a shout to the defense to alert them to start blocking when Majors was here. I don't know about Fulmer, but I think it likely. It is thought perhaps to derive from a song at Illinois, but it wasn't a football term there.

Oskie - Volopedia

One of General Neyland’s seven game maxims is “Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle . . . this is the WINNING EDGE.” The term oskie appeared first in General Neyland’s journal in 1938 and is believed to come from the University of Illinois, where “Oskee Wow Wow” was...

Ok. 24 hrs later. Here is what I think I know (maybe I know I know). Josh Heupel is truly a football genius.

I truly believe that Tennessee went unto this game with a very similar plan as they have had all season. Maybe a few different looks and whatnot, but similar. Oklahoma (as per their coach) had been game planning this game since January. They were throwing looks at Tennessee that had not been shown on film. At some point early on in the game Heupel changes his strategy completely...and in doing so, also decides to give the rest of the SEC a wake up call. I truly don't think the team expected this change (but believed in their coach). Heupel made.a statement in this game to the rest of the SEC. You wanna grind it out? We are fully capable of doing that too.

This is what appears to be separating CJH from similar coaches before him. Those innovative offensive coaches that struggled to win at an elite level. The ones with nicknames like "basketball on turf" because the offense was wide-open and exciting. But basically every one of those coaches were so married to the "innovation" they were bringing to the table that they forgot it was still a football game at its core. CJH brings those innovative offensive ideas but they are just the icing on the cake. Underneath it he has the main ingredients of physicality, toughness, chemistry, competitiveness, resiliency and the ability to not be stubborn and to do whatever it takes to win even if it means "going old school" at times.

No offense, but if you're a DD delivery driver with a family, football games arent your highest priority. Victim mentality on display.

If you want disposable income, save. Or get another job, or two. Ive worked three before. Tons of fun. Also walked to work, everyday. Was about 2 miles, but I needed money. Funny thing, not having makes you work harder.

Did you even read that whole thing?...or did you just stop at the Door Dash part? It was all a freaking joke...he went on to say his wife is only worth 32 million, and so they have had to cut back on luxury vacations all over the world, and only have one small yacht, and now only have a Rolls Royce and one other luxury car, and had to move back to the 2nd row of their 50 yard line luxury suite..

It was a joke..🤦‍♂️

Hey man…I’m just sharing 😭😂 for perspectives only..I’m sure he will not be the only one..but you can’t blame someone for wanting to contribute but financially can’t and that’s entirely fine…personally i think the article is kind of a “pitty me” article..everyone has a choice in what they choose to do and if you can’t that’s ok too..just unfortunate for anyone in that situation ya know?

I don’t believe that to be the case, but we will see when the advanced stats come out and more video breakdowns

OL still biggest problem on roster and it’s not close

Today our receivers won less than they usually do. But if you go back and watch and study some on these short designed throws they are there, he just isn't seeing/anticipating them.

There are many issues with this team. Inexperienced o line, inexperienced QB, inexperienced head coach. This week in particular the play calling seemed disjointed, just calling random plays instead of setting things up. That's exactly what Green Bay did to our defense.

I'm not laying the blame 100% on Levis. But as it stands his skills won't get it done. He has to anticipate better, needs a vibe with his receivers.

The o line needs to block better, the coach needs to get a better feel for in game play calling. But the receivers are winning. They are getting that small window needed for passes, and Levis is seeing it just a little too late.

I hate that many on here are overlooking a tough game AT Arkansas against a former coach, and Florida, who embarrasses us on a yearly basis.

Because we are tired of thinking like we did back in the Botch and Pruitt days. It’s time to stop thinking like bottom feeders and start thinking like we are elite. Who cares if Pittman coached here? We are much better than both Arky and UF. I see no way either team stays close to us.

Continue to keep the loser mentality if you like.

Lot of people hate on Morgan but he’s killing it and that dude bleeds Orange just like we do. He’s alright in my book. That younger generation embraces the guy and none of us are perfect either.

Besides many of the people saying they don’t listen to him are probably lying. His streaming, concerts and YouTube numbers prove it.

Pearce played 10 snaps against Chattanooga, 29 against NC State, 14 against Kent, and 54 against OU. He had 0.5 sack last night.

Stewart’s two forced fumbles were against Old Dominion when their defense had to play the entire game. A little context. Stewart is good though.

I just don’t understand why he hasn’t been producing.
