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

[OrangeTsar]

Frustrating to see us give up two late TDs. But from the bigger picture; this is one of the biggest wins for our program in ages. The one thing Heupel hadn’t accomplished was a big road win in a hostile night game. This game had me worried the entire offseason. The stakes were huge. I‘ll take the win.

 

[loosecannon]

Yeah it's a trashy low quality field. They did that on purpose to try to slow us down imo.

We seemed to have a lot of issues. I wonder if OU had longer studs in their cleats

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Lmao Heupel telling them “the best is yet to come, I promise.”

 

[firestorm]

I’m very damn happy Tennessee made a statement with this road win.

2006 was a long time ago so it was a long wait to finally end the miserable losing streak.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

4-0

And that’s ALL that matters.

 

[theroyz71]

Heupel's players love him.

 

[volfan102455]

Big win tonight. The defense was impressive.

They really were. And that may well be the difference. We are going to play teams where it will not be easy to score a lot of points - we will need the defense.

 

[mpfvol]

Glad we got the win thanks CJH love ya Vols I turned 50 today

 

[25vol]

This was a good team win, especially for the defense. Love how we handled the road environment. Refs can go to hell. Hopefully we go into the bye week and come out swinging just like ‘22.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

If we call plays that conservative against Bama/uga, we will get boat raced, no matter how good our defense is.

I get it that we won, but it's discouraging as a fan to see them get very conservative in a big time game. It doesn't bode well for the future games.

 

[connor]

And that’s ALL that matters.

Completely agree my man we made it through another ranked opponent, much more to come!

 

[nomads-11]

Now with that...come to Jesus with Halzle. The middle of the field is legal, TEs are legal and so are slants. Too much talent to dismiss it. Ridiculous.

 

[PA Vol]

Love the win. Still feel like we have questions to answer. Going to chalk it up as being down two tackles am CJH didn’t want to hurt his home.

 

[saxvol]

We beat the spread

I dont get what the hell your saying but this was a bad called game.

dudes been hitting the sauce I think

 

[johnboyhunter]

2 2 point conversions
1 onside kick
1 TD

Lmfao we were so close to losing

Yeah same idiots couldn’t understand why we kicked a FG to make it a 16 point game when is was 4th and 1 or 2.

 

[TNHux]

Feels so good. Great win

 

[ChrisVFL]

2 weeks to fix the mental errors and the OLine, GBO

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I k

Did a butt load of people lose money on this game? I can't remember what the line ended as.

I know the over was like 58 when I seen it.

 

[OrangeTsar]

We did, his knee was down before he crossed the line

details don’t matter at that point. Bottom line was we weren’t even allowing any first downs and then all of a sudden we gave up two long drives. Can some of you folks who understand the Xs and Os tell me what changed? Do we change something or did they Just suddenly get that much better?

 

[acd4476]

Off week to get healthy.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

These bitches are quoting the General. What have we come too? Herbstreet says he’s an outsider but has given the VOLS some cred..

They’re just playing the hot hand right now. I don’t forget how they dogged Tennessee in the past during the Dooley, Jones and Pruitt years.
All of them are chameleons

 

[loosecannon]

Aww, I feel for Josh. It’s kinda like that ex girlfriend you loved that broke your heart. I don’t think he enjoyed this at all. Kinda makes me scared that he didn’t want to absolutely crush them.

We were an injury away in the OL from total disaster. I don’t think he was trying not to score. I think he was trying to preserve a lead by bleeding the clock and getting us out of there. One SEC game in and we are playing three backups on the OL and that field was making things miserable.

 

[PA Vol]

10th ranked win.

We’ve come a long way.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Well, don't forget that Oklahoma was ranked #16 and none of the top 20 teams are gonna lay down for us. A solid W and kudos to the defense. I can breathe now....

On the road and a night game.

 

[901 Orange]

Now that's how you choke a team out. The defense played lights out. Smart of CJH to throttle back. No way they could score enough on us if we don't turn it over
