The Official #9 Tennessee @ #8 Ohio State Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ABC/ESPN

[Cartervol]

Chip Kelly is schooling Banks . . . With better talent to boot.

Not surprising really.. Bank's secondary isn't that good though. Banks gets caught up in base formations a lot..

 

[rocketskates]

You forgot the typical dead ball penalty that’s always a good drive staller.

Even so. You need a touchdown there and you’ve got three plays to get 9 yards. Dumb play calling.

 

[barney]

Y’all reckon Banks made any adjustments for the upcoming series?

Yeah he got out of prevent defense lol

 

[Flipdaddy]

Bottom line is that our oline is getting whipped on third down with only four rushers.

 

[Mr. Lofton]

Time for a turnover

 

[orange_glory]

Bru gotta fight back on that ball a little more. Not an easy task when you are running the opposite way though

We soft

 

[BreatheUT]

This is what drives me nuts. You march down the field with 4-7 yard plays and then just decide to go for it all. Just keep the sticks moving, geez. That was an obvious PI there as well, but doesn’t change the fact that we look terrible.

You've got to try to wear on their defense. Throwing the ball doesn't do it.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

I hate this offense. Why can’t we run a more wide open offense. Slants. crossing patterns. Instead of these shorts curls and outs and bunch receivers sets.

Just stupid

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

We need more talent along the line of scrimmage

Wait till you see this offensive line next year. We’re losing everyone.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

He didn’t think Brooks had “firm” control on pick and was crying about a non called pi. Then when dude drove Nico into the ground it looked good to him.

Yeah, when I saw who was calling the game, it reiterated my desire to not hear a word.
I always like and respect Holly Rowe, so I try and mute VN when she interviews somebody. The rest of them suck

 

[rocktopper16]

When they showed Sampson on the sideline, his eyes looked glassy as if he’s ill. Hope he’s okay and can get in the game some.

Literally said his hamstring is tight.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Nico is gonna get hurt big time the way this is going.

 

[C-south]

Wow..we will be the laughing stock of the CPF at this rate. I don’t know what the fix is but we should be taking a page out of their playbook, load the box and get in quick on Howard. We should be throwing slants with the box loaded, but apparently we don’t have the intelligence to see that! smh

Crossing patterns and rb dumps are our nemesis that we can’t seem to fix or ever run ourselves.

 

[Zues1]

That int was a 10-point swing.

 

[first time caller]

We need more talent along the line of scrimmage

We just need for talent period.

 

[BleedOrange81]

I would say Matthews hits the portal tomorrow morning. Can’t blame him..

 

[rocketskates]

Well in all fairness, they were giving us 7-10 yards cushion and then that closed in the redzone.

Gotta try to run it there though. If it’s 2nd and 9 and you even get 3-4 yards it’s much more manageable

 

[Allvols98]

Missed breaks. Obvious flags not throw. Self inflicted penalties.

We were not ready

 

[vols 30]

I hate this offense. Why can’t we run a more wide open offense. Slants. crossing patterns. Instead of these shorts curls and outs and bunch receivers sets.

Our QB has limits

 

[dieseldaddy]

Getting so much chit from my bama buddies

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We playing for pride now. Let's at least keep this damn thing respectable

 

[DD4ME]

We usually play proactive and we have been reactive after that one face mask.

 

[ForeverfaithfulVOL]

Need a stop and a miracle TD to get in to 21-10.

And we get the ball first after the half

 

[C-south]

Even so. You need a touchdown there and you’ve got three plays to get 9 yards. Dumb play calling.

No argument here

 

[markus]

its called the portal today
