I'd like our defense to score

 

[Persian Vol]

Don’t like seeing them with 5 in the box first play of the game and we don’t run it.

Very surprised they didn’t run it there.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

He was kidding. He said he thought they would be nicer to him (by being quiet when we're on offense). heh.

He was just making a bit of a joke.

The message behind the joke is, hey, welcoming me home is great and all, but this is football--neither side is giving any quarter.

Go Vols!

 

[vols 30]

Playing scared already. Why punt there?

Butch Jones move

 

[Switch 625]

Would've been solid if the dude in the end zone went out to get it

Why even go into the end zone? Can’t do anything from there on punt coverage!

 

[bpalmer28]

Punt?

Definitely. We don’t need to make their life easy by giving them a short field.

 

[casual-observer]

Watch tv and, after reading how he should and would be welcomed, he just stated he thought the fans (of Oklahoma) would be better.

Are they that rowdy, there and, are we fixing to win by fiddy???

Its a joke he‘s been using all week

 

[PA Vol]

Let’s get a TO

 

[volbound1700]

Not a good 3rd down call.

1st down call was the issue IMO

 

[Vol865]

They keep bringing weak side pressure late. We're gonna have to have something for that

 

[Swiftybaby]

Dayne Davis getting destroyed like I said he would

Dayne Davis getting destroyed like I said he would

Suck it dude

 

[rocketskates]

Pretty much what I figured so far. These sideline dink and dunk will not work.

Yeah. They seem to have figured on us running those sideline passes.

 

[DaddyChad]

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FAKE PUNT WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT!!!

Or do our jobs and field it on the one would’ve been nice.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Because our D is elite

Just got a turnover at midfield. There was a chance to really start the game with a boom. You got to go for it there.

 

[VOLinAL]

Their D is doing a good job of changing the numbers on Nico pre vs post snap. Making the box look light and then bring apex players in

Sneak them TEs out a few times and they’ll stop.

 

[bpalmer28]

Playing scared already. Why punt there?

Because we’re the better team. Why the that risk? Smart punt

 

[Voltrapnbama]

they were def expecting run there. They will settle in

 

[Other_Guy]

Would've been solid if the dude in the end zone went out to get it

Nah bro he needed to be in the back of the endzone to wave at his gf.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Idk why huep didn’t t bring a man across the middle , he should know Brent is gonna blitz a lot this game.

 

[Vol8188]

Pretty much what I figured so far. These sideline dink and dunk will not work.

lol someone doesn’t understand football

Saban actually called it the hardest part of our offense to defend this morning

 

[VolKnight9]

Everyone already melting

 

[ATLVols]

We need to be in “attack mode” in this game.

 

[mgu7]

Couldn't get 1 yard with our high powered offense?

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Honestly, I think we probably should have gone for it there. Nico is going to have to scramble a good bit in this game.

 

[chuckb1448]

Not a good 3rd down call.

A quick slant would have been nice
