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

Anyone committed hari-kari yet?

Yeah unfortunately it’s too late for me.

 

[ChrisVFL]

I really just don’t like this 4-2-5 defense

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

I went upstairs and started watching a movie I was so angry. I see now, we’re at least playing. Im thinking I need to stay upstairs and watch the movie lol.

Yes

 

[tbh]

Ryan Day such a weirdo

He looks like a knockoff "Wooly Willy" creation.

 

[barney]

We have got to get stronger on the offensive line before next year.

 

[Voltopia]

Did Ryan Day really say something about knocking Nico out of the game? *EDIT* - sounds like he didn't say that. Just updating this comment to reflect that.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Got assume hamstring or turf toe for Sampson

 

[mackievol]

We could have easily just decided to pack it in. Let's go!

 

[VOLLeeann]

Anyone committed hari-kari yet?

 

[VOLifornia]

I said it last year and I have said it all this year. I don’t get the refusal of a slant pass

They are crowding the box. We want to open up the running game a bit, throw a slant or two and that will back them up to fill that gap and make it easier on Nico and the run game.

Did Ryan Day really say something about knocking Nico out of the game?

no. he said knock the line of scrimmage back.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

That freaking face mask and the no calls on Ohio State or this thing is TIGHT!

lol what?

I thought the same but caught himself

Let us know how the movie ends

 

[RAVOL]

Nico growing up becoming dual threat QB. OL has been much better against the best D we have played this year. It is just a mismatch however against our back end and 1 cover LB can't play with their backs in the flat. Now we see why we recruited 4 lbs need that speed they have. One more half boys . In CHRIST Alone

 

[LickSkillet]

I’m the eternal realist when it comes to our team. And I can’t explain it, nothing early this game has shown it, however I think the Big Orange gets this done in Columbus tonight. LFG!!!!!

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

App

Yep

He has a hamstring injury.

 

[sechamp2012]

Wonder why we didn’t try to return that long low 56 yard FG with a kicker a holder & 9 slow linemen blocking being the defenders he’d have to out run.Worked well for Auburn vs Bama back in the day

 

[OrangeTsar]

Whatever happens tonight, I want to at least praise Will Brooks. That kid is a baller. He stopped the bleeding and maybe turned the game around.
Might be one of the most impactful walk ons I can remember

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

If we don't score on the first drive, this game is over.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

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

They showed a little clip of him apparently trying to jog or run during a commercial break and looking dejected. He's either hurt or sick.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Anyone committed hari-kari yet?

That's an old ems term. Lol Hope our guys adjust and execute the second half

 

[Putbacks]

Galloway and Howard now spewing their bias. Ugh! The Rules Official did not attempt to conceal his bias at all—even after the review proved that he was clearly wrong!

 

[SmashMouth]

Why the hell was Peyton Lewis not back there to catch the field goal. World class speed and we give it up against a weak kicker!

thank you....thank you....any kick over 55 yards (yeah that was 56 yards) poor coaching decision.

 

[OrangeInKy]

It was a face mask away from punting the first series

This. No telling how that first half goes if D gets off field there.
