The Official #6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

They will NOT call holding on OU.

I'm thinking OU must be getting away with some holding all of a sudden to explain the extra time in the pocket and the scrambling lanes.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

Refs not calling holding on OU is BS. Heup needs to bring this up to the big wigs

He’d get fined

 

[RockyTop140]

they score here got to be rdy for onside kick

Yes, but I think they will kick and call timeouts each time we run up the middle. That’s will give them about a minute and a half left to drive down the field. That’s assuming we give up a TD and 2 point conversion here

 

[saxvol]

The Zebras also made it closer than it should have been.

 

[RAVOL]

Boy Heup has grown so much first SEC Game at Oklahoma knowing that only Turnovers can lose you Game.

They will NOT call holding on OU.

No they want. In CHRIST Alone

 

[wmcovol]

Does Pearce look like he has given up

He’s crazy if he has. NFL scouts see effort more than stats.

 

[midtnvol2]

Drives me crazy to see this qb running for the first down with determination and we have Nico akwardly falling to the ground a yard short every time.

Thats what happens when you quit at the start of the second half.

 

[UTfan94]

just get the win.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

********. He let Oklahoma stay in this game.

I know. It’s annoying af.

 

[DC_Vol]

I noticed Boo Carter is in sweats. Anyone know anything about Boo Carter?

I believe I heard he was in concussion protocol.

you gotta be kidding.....

 

[Voltopia]

This feels like one of those late 90s Fulmer games where we were clearly the better team and got leads, and then Fulmer would go to Chavis and say “ok, hold them off” and then all of us Vol fans would spend the fourth quarter yelling at anyone and everyone around us about playing not to lose.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Well I said 2 Plus sco

Stupid, he's doubled every play.. frees up everyone else!!!

He may be, but I’ve seen him loafing

 

[bpalmer28]

I feel like playing not to lose gets you in situations like this

 

[ENGRVOL]

Just a stop here on 4th or for the two point try and it’s over. Come on vols

 

[posivol]

and for no reason. the nail should've went in the coffin in the 3rd.

would have if not for that bogus holding call

 

[give_him 6]

Lets just get out of here with the win and move on. Its been an exhausting week hearing about Coach Hype's homecoming.

 

[207 others]

BS. We didn’t run it up cause we never had the chance to. With the exception of a few plays the offense wasn’t sharp and heup called a soft, conservative game.

I wonder why he ran a conservative game

 

[Dudleys87]

Offense wasn't the best tonight, but I think coach realized this is how we get the w tonight

Playing conservative will get you beat. Ask Fulmer.

 

[TNVOLnTX]

If you can’t get a foot you don’t trust your OL to block the man in front of them.

He didn’t go because it’s Oklahoma.

He didn’t because the field goal was sure fire way to make a 2 score 2X 2pt game. You bet on your D when they our the best group on the field

 

[OrangeVolMan]

He’d get fined

So

 

[volgr]

Moreso than it should be. This should’ve been a blowout.

With a healthy OL, Heupel runs this one up to a blowout.

With a banged up OL, he chose to go conservative and just win.

We have to grow our OL depth because Davis is horrendous.

 

[25vol]

Defense has played lights out from start to finish. Offense needs to strike screen passes at the LOS from the playbook permanently. They do not work against experienced defenders with speed.

 

[RockyTop140]

The Zebras also made it closer than it should have been.

They were trying to help Vegas out with the vols by 7 line that was getting slammed.

 

[Vol8188]

We can’t let teams like this hang around with conservative play.

Are they “hanging around” what are the actual odds any team scores twice in this time span and gets 2 2 point conversions?

2 2 point conversions alone is about a 25% chance. Take that and multiple by the odds of recovering an on side kick. Then the odds of them scoring after the onside kick.

That’s probably <1%
