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

What IF, and I mean IF……Heupel is resting Dylan just to let him loose in the second half? I know I know it’s a big IF but stranger things have happened

I think he is benched

 

[Kicker82]

Could not have asked for a better way end to the half after that start…it’s anyone’s game if we can get another td.

 

[wmcovol]

He’s just not an elite talent. Solid enough but not going to put fear into a competent offense.

All of the LBers struggle in coverage.

 

[joevols89]

“Fresh” off an injection.

He should’ve been in the locker room getting whatever injection the second he was hurt. No reason to just sit on the sideline.

 

[barney]

It's wild to me that we got rid of all the exotic blitz packages after what we've done the last 3 seasons

 

[utvolpj]

The play he let it bounce on was surrounded by Ohio state players. Why even risk the whiff over 5-10 yards

He can fair catch a punt and it cost us more like 20yds

 

[tnmarktx]

Nico, showing fight. Put the team on his back.

Banks has never had any.

 

[DD4ME]

Nico 3rd quarter

 

[PC Jr.]

And he continues to show how ignorant your post was about his NIL deal.

The guy you quoted should write Josh and tell him to stop complaining. He agrees, they played like crap. Why is that wrong to call out? It’s the truth. Now go play better in the 2nd half.

It's 21-3 on the road against a top 10 opponent.

If he rested Sampson this long, he's not very bright.

 

[VOLifornia]

If we dont unravel the invention of a slant pass, its not gonna matter

Speaking my language. I get the stretch sideline to sideline but the slant is there… TE anyone?

 

[Behr]

Aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine, we saw a glimmer of hope and this is your take

Lol, Some of these people are just insufferable.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Day was born on third and thinks he hit a triple.

 

[Gandalf]

Sampson in the second half

 

[CPVOL]

I think he is benched

No way. Not for this game. Not even if he robbed a bank.

 

[volfan__18]

I think Sampson is legit sick. He looks puny.

i see the opposite tbh. He looks fine on the sideline (atleast not puny).

 

[loosecannon]

All of the LBers struggle in coverage.

They just aren’t nearly as fast

 

[A-RodWiLks]

It's wild to me that we got rid of all the exotic blitz packages after what we've done the last 3 seasons

Good point. It's bizarre.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Why tf wasn’t Boo back to run that field goal back?

 

[first time caller]

Chew the damn coaches out as well

I don't won't to here "this is on us" after the game.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Is he lying?

It’s how he says what he says….. and he’s just a head anyway

 

[OrangeInKy]

Nico has been running for his life every play. The LOS on both sides got dominated & Kelly schooled the hell outta Banks that half

Yeah, and I'm not sure that last part will change, just gotta hope we can make a play on the defensive side in spite of it. Just get to Howard and make him force a throw.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Heupel completely dodged the question about Sampson

Yeah was weird response.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Well well well!!! Opening 2nd half drive will decide a lot for us
