Really bad look for Sampson.

If it’s an injury, why is he just standing there with his helmet on? Looks like he could be on the bike or something, maybe getting some treatment

 

[LLcoolDave]

You smell that boys? We're starting to cook

 

[Memphisvol87]

Lewis over Bishop. He’s a threat to move it. These freshman wide out are athletic. Show out boys! It’s your time to get us excited for the future.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Gotta give Nico props for toughness. At least HE seems like he wants it out there. Wish our Oline would respond

I'll give him that, too. He ain't folding .

 

[hardin_co85]

Any adjustments at the half? Lol

 

[DD4ME]

He doesn't appear to stretching, talking to trainers, they said he was on the bike before but not for a few minutes. I feel for the kid but something is wrong.

He looks puny

 

[Cartervol]

Got to get some points here. Touchdown
would be huge..

 

[Sarms58]

Craziest thing is tOSU is getting all this pressure with a 4 man rush

Our OL is average at best

 

[87&91ALUM]

Sign of life on both sides of the ball. Need a TD before half and some adjustments at halftime.

 

[Allvols98]

Keep feeding Lewis.

 

[BreatheUT]

Puzzling why we didn't run the ball in the red zone. It's like we just lost composure with the play calling.

 

[DuckInAPen]

Really bad look for Sampson.

Yeah, any serious player knows there's no I(njury) in TEAM . . .

 

[rocktopper16]

Is Samson holding out?

Seriously! His hamstring was an issue during the last plays of the vandy game. Gtfoh with that bs!!

 

[Zues1]

He doesn't appear to stretching, talking to trainers, they said he was on the bike before but not for a few minutes. I feel for the kid but something is wrong.

He needs to be on the heated bench at this point

 

[bullman64]

We have made some adjustments. Our guys just gotta prove to the world who they are now

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Did I miss Sampson getting hurt?

He’s either hurt or sick. I’ve heard hamstring and the flu so not sure

 

[utvolpj]

Def a bad look and I'm not sure he wants to play

He carried this team all season and you think he nopes out of the playoffs?

 

[C-south]

I think Sampson is sick. Something is wrong..

Who knows the way we play guys? We were giving up tds against Georgia in critical situations with guys you never hear of on the field.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

I thought I heard it was an ACC officiating crew.

Same head official from our Purdue bowl game

 

[chatt.vol]

This is the same Big Ten officiating crew we had at the Music City Bowl against Purdue. Same guys. Look it up.

ACC crew

 

[GAVol]

Really bad look for Sampson.

He’s obviously hurt.

 

[BleedOrange81]

I like Bishop, but; I think Lewis is a stronger runner than Bishop.

Lewis is a better back than bishop..but bishop will start if Sampson leaves. Help falls in love with certain guys..squirrel.

 

[Flipdaddy]

Keep feeding Lewis.

No, we have two minutes left

 

[VolCalls]

He doesn't appear to stretching, talking to trainers, they said he was on the bike before but not for a few minutes. I feel for the kid but something is wrong.

This game is over so he’s opting out at halftime. No need to risk an injury.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Puzzling why we didn't run the ball in the red zone. It's like we just lost composure with the play calling.

It’s because we have a grad assistant at coordinator. We need a creative veteran helping Heupel in the box.
