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

[RavinDave]

I am drinking my celebratory bourbon and toasting a hard fought top 15 road win!

Did you know this was our first road win against a top 15 opponent since…

( eff you Fowler )

Heupel called off the dogs early, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Him not wanting to show OK any disrespect made the game a lot closer than it should have been. They were 2 points away from making it a one possession game after we dominated all night long. He’s going to have to get over that.

 

[CNCVol88]

We got very lucky it was the right call. It almost wasn't and I still don't think it was. We just got lucky. We won't get lucky AT uga or home vs Bama.

Hell, we may have a fight on our hands at Arkansas in two weeks if he plays conservative again.

Will Arkansas's field be their hardest hitter?

 

[DC_Vol]

You are 100% a troll. Hope you finally get banned?

Him and that Patrick character are morons.

 

[DaddyChad]

This Tennessee victory over Oklahoma tonight was pretty much like the Hooters girl serving me that is Lauren.

Hopefully we’re not talking field conditions or Lauren needs to shave..

 

[nomads-11]

Yes, big kudos to Banks and his defense. Glad they showed up again. Awesome results. We'll need them for the rest.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Maybe a good time to remind people that Georgia beat Kentucky last week 13-12 at Kroger.

 

[nomads-11]

I am not worried about this defense at all.

Neither am I. There's other issues

 

[1974Vol]

Wow, I was pretty pumped for a double digit. cover the spread, night road win against a top 15 team and now after reading this thread I just wanna get drunk and go to bed and hope we do better next season...

Long time, but we (Volnation) get to witness greatness, Baseball National Championship, elite 8 basketball and football steamrolling

 

[nomads-11]

Nah, there's still "issues" here...
IMO

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Hindsight with our tackles banged up we didn't want Nico taking a bad hit on a passing play when we are up by 19.

I’m all out of blue font but added the parenthetical part so it would (hopefully) be clear I was mocking Chris Fowler…

Where is @Sooner Redzone now?

At the game dumb ass. Just got home. I picked 35-21 Tenn. Heupel was respectful. Could have been worse. Tenn fans great. 34 rushes 35 yards and poor QB play is your ball game. Thought you and Texas were the 2 best teams now I think at this point around 5. Thought our defense played well.

Respect to you for showing up and being gracious in defeat. That OU defense is legit.

 

[vol_smoothie]

Whew !!!!!!! It was not pretty, but that is a very important win for this program's return to national prominence.
I have lived thru 3 eras of Tennessee football playing at an annual top 10 level. We look to be at the beginning of another run.

Well good news is the team was good enough to overcome that bs, and we are going into a bye week before facing Arky on the road. I’ve seen enough, Vols will dominate.

Trey Smith is loving it like the VFL he is

Thanks, little bit of a sore loser as expected.

BS?
So for all yall bitchin and moaning about the conservative playcalling in the second half. We were up 19 -3 at halftime.
So with a less than 100% O line and a redshirt Fr QB that turned it over 2 times last week and 2 times in the first half from being pressured and sacked way too much,
And with the way the D was dominating,
Their only real hope was pick 6’s or fumbles.
A few more hits or sacks and we could of also been playing QB2

What would you have done?
Yeah it could of turned out 45-12 or they could’ve gotten a couple turnovers and all of a sudden it’s 19-17.

I believe I’ll ride with Coaches decision over y’all’s.
