SAVED PITTMANS JOB................

 

[vols 30]

I have to say, I do not like conservative Coach Heupel playcalling.

He doesn't trust Nico.

 

[tnvols72]

Jesus Christ, now everybody is gonna attack this kid.

and he will deserve all of it

NO REFUNDS

 

[TexasVol281]

Terrible performance

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Arkansas sucks, that's what makes it all the more depressing. Disciplined team with the whole zero holding penalties. GG on way to your 7-5 season.

 

[TheDeeble]

Going conservative last week wasn't adapting?

Sure it was. Because he lacked confidence in the offense.

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

Everyone went from slobbing on Nico's jockstrap to hating him in 2 weeks lol. Never change Volnation.

 

[vavolfan6]

We need to completley revamp the passing game. No more running the ball until we figure out how to move the ball consistently through the air. No more screen crap. Heupel's scheme has been figured out and he had no adjustments.

 

[ETV]

Nico has a LOT to learn. Still young but this one hurts.

The only thing that eases this one were the losses by Bama and Mizzou.

 

[Creeker]

Got the northeast part of the state recovering from disaster, communities taking it upon themselves to rebuild and then this coach and team goes out scared as can be and plays like this, could of had a little pride for us. This one pisses me off. If you’re gonna get beat at least fight back, this was weak by CJH and the offense especially.

 

[Vol4lif3]

What sucks is this is the year we will get beat by them in football and basketball

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

YEP COACHING SUCKED ASS

 

[YankeeVol]

Jesus Christ, now everybody is gonna attack this kid.

Welcome to NIL

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

You're not. Red flags starting to pop up

Indeed they are.

 

[Pride85]

Oh well. We join the rest of the upset binge. Really tough loss. Let's see if they can get it together this week and take out some frustration on the gators next weekend. I hope the coaching staff has more faith in this team than some of you so called fans. I hope you all toss and turn unable to sleep all week long. I fully believe this will light a fire under Nico that will take him to the next level. Again, this is the type of game where you look back and realize, he is just a freshman with very limited gametime experience.

 

[Orange931]

He doesn't trust Nico.

Well then don’t put him out there.

 

[MurphyVol]

I like Florida's chances next week

 

[Cartervol]

I thought we were vanilla all season.

I found out tonight, we suck.

That's our offense. Simplistic.. Teams have it figured out..

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Much of this loss is on Josh Heupel.

He chose to go conservative, as he did with OU, and it didn't work for him. If Halzle is calling this with Heupel, he can have some blame.

We turtled. We paid for it.

You can't say that very often but yeah this was probably Heupel's worst coached game.

 

[OrangeEtBlanc]

Got too conservative on offense AGAIN. Almost cost us the Oklahoma game at the end and did cost us here. Sickening. Heupel needs to remember to play to win and not to lose.

 

[acd4476]

Nico throws that to Thornton he had him. Come on man

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

It’s definitely a team effort. But I’m confident Nico will rebound. Gonna be a lot of receipts

He may end up being great, but that sure as **** didn't help tonight.
