Banks is welcome at my table anytime, and will give him a ride anywhere. I love Tim Banks..he's the best Defensive coach we have had since ...ever maybe. Deffinately since Chavis slipped. He had an awesome year. hating on him for this game is crazy.

Wtf

Banks owes his paycheck to Rodney Garner.

We were out manned and out coached on both sides of the ball.

We haven’t gotten a stud WR that this coaching staff has brought on. Matthew’s maybe but not shown yet.

Our line is pathetic on offense. Didn’t get any pressure on d and couldn’t stop the rb pass.

Our wrs can’t get open and we don’t attack the middle of the field like in the first couple of years. I don’t get it.

Not sure if the wrs is an evaluation problem or what.

They’ve been falling off the back half of the season. It was hyperbole, but they are middling of late yet still winning.

Agree, they have fallen off a bit.

Take a look at the right side of the Titans line, they PFF score similarly and/or slightly higher than our tackles against SEC competition....

Looking back, it was after a bye week that the Vols failed to perform to expectations at Arkansas. Two weeks off didn’t improve things for the game in Columbus. The 2024 Vols didn’t benefit from time off.

Nothing was going to change the outcome of the game last night.

Too beat up.
We don’t rotate enough at the skills position.

Samson out
Squirrel beat up then out
Bru slowed with high ankle sprain
Thornton slowed and then out with groin strain

It’s really damn hard to play with all your skills guys on the bench injured.
The seasons are brutal now. We have to find a way to keep everyone healthy.

We have a good NIL program. Ohio State has a great one. They have more talent and depth for that reason...

We don’t rotate enough at those skills positions so we’re beat up with back ups lacking reps.
Let’s not act like oSU didn’t just have a very embarrassing loss in a previous game. There’s a lot more too it than “they just had better players” Bama has better players and we’ve won 2 of the last 3 vs them

They have 3 NFL Day 1 picks at receiver. We didnt have one that could get separation yesterday.

We have tackles that score in the 30s on PFF. Until we can pass block, everything else doesnt matter. We are running backups from other schools and walk ons at tackle. OSU is running NFL guys out there.

Last night, the refs didnt call holding at all. OSU's line was good enough to hold and protect Howard. Ours wasn't good enough to hold and give Nico time...

We dont rotate because we played a lot of close games. Of course, we play close games because we have to play it close to vest because we cant protect the QB...

David Sanders will help. We just need more there.
