The Official #4 Tennessee @ Arkansas Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[patrick]

We're getting out coached on offense right now. Their D coordinator is dictating what our calls are. Can we not hit the flats with a back?

Getting out coached on offense and defense.

Getting out played on offense and defense.

Not a good combination.

 

[Bass1090]

Same old same old.

Oline and DBs are weak links…..again!!

 

[nomads-11]

Safety valves, slants, screens, TEs....turn the edge. Even a designed QB run..something. I'm watching the same thing I did game 1, after a bye week. When you got a target on your back, opponents will play you that way.

 

[Other_Guy]

OL playing like garbage tonight

Just tonight?

 

[chuckb1448]

I am Orange..... but we look like Hot Garbage on Offense....

 

[Pennheel]

I'm not writing this team off ,but the Oklahoma game showed that this team had a lot to work on.

 

[vol_smoothie]

Looks like Vols spent the off-week reading all the hype about how great they were.

 

[Gtown RNG]

Fellers you act like we’re down by 21. Relax and let the football gods take over.

 

[vol94]

I think they are the best. Offense isnt as consistent

Offense had been my concern so far. It’s becoming obvious Nico struggles to dissect coverages.

This team isn’t dialed in tonight. I anticipated the offense struggling a bit after finding out some things the past few days - nothing earth shattering..

 

[VolJarhead]

Fortunate to only be down 3. This could be one of those games we have yo find a way to win in.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Why not get Nico on the move? Why leave him sitting back there in the crosshairs? Very questionable offensive strategy so far. Get him some read options in the move outside the pocket to slow down the pass rush some. Making it way too easy for them so far.

 

[Doctrippin]

Kent St?

No we got one against OU. Our first TD.

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

Some of you need to take a chill pill. There is a lot of game left to play.

They are playing like crap and it’s still only 3-0. Relax.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

And those who made fun of me about arky being a complete team….
Hope we pull the W

 

[patrick]

How many more bubble screens we going to throw?

Many more.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

They definitely need to play better

I'm starting to think we are what we're seeing. We have an OL that cannot pass block and Heupel knows it. Nico cannot throw that quick out ball, so that takes that play away. All Arky has to do is stop the run.

 

[CPVOL]

If our defense doesn’t get us a turnover our offense isn’t going anywhere

Unfortunately you’re right.

 

[rocketskates]

The offensive gameplan is pretty poor right now. Does Heupel not trust Nico to spread the field out? They are selling out to stop the run and we refuse to take a shot.

 

[floridavol25]

Heupel relying way to much on our D… they are gonna be completely gassed .. will be stunned if arky doesn’t score a td on this drive .. awful offensive showing thus far

 

[posivol]

putting alot of pressure on our d

 

[GoVols1961]

Need to call some plays that give Nico an option to run. He's caught in a collapsed pocket and it's all she wrote.

 

[Pride85]

CJH has got his work cut out for him. This pass rush has Nico completely confused. Right now he looks like a freshman playing in only his sixth start. At least Jackson Ross is still booming punts.

 

[volbound1700]

if they don't get their heads out of their asses, this will be a blowout loss

It is looking like the Missouri game last year. Our defense kept us in the game for about a half but offense didn't do jack. Missouri also held onto ball a long time for their first drive to take the lead lie Arkansas did.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Jesus. Do we have a vertical pass in our offense Tonight

Something ain’t right

 

[ETV]

Definitely not playing like a top 10 team.
