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

[FSUgothosed]

Not tall enof !!

That’s good stuff right there !

 

[KeyVol14]

That's man 2 under
Cover 2 is a zone scheme

Regardless Banks is doing a terrible job tonight

 

[ChrisVFL]

It really doesn't work well with zone. He showed a 3-3-5 a few times. I think part of the problem is boo is busting in coverage a lot and we don't have enough speed at linebacker.

I agree, I said earlier , we just don’t have the best linebackers nor do we have great DBs. McCoy is good but against these type of WRs they are average. If our Dline can’t get to the QB, we are cooked everytime.

 

[rocktopper16]

And with that the 2024 season comes to a close.

 

[Sandman 423]

Not even trying to run on a light box. I don’t get it. Nico doesn’t seem to be looking too pass when he drops back. We have had several wide open guys over the middle.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Merry Christmas friends...go vols...on to basketball. After this, a lot of soul searching for Pilot Inc.

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Welp punt down 18 with time dwindling down

 

[Memphisvol87]

These guys just can’t get open. We have no speed

They aren’t helping our players. It’s the same awful play calling. We aren’t even trying to
Adjust and get playmakers the ball. How we even made the playoffs I don’t know.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Until we recruit top 5 nationally we will lose these games. Recruiting in the top 15 isn’t good enough

Yep, still have a way to go on O Line recruiting.

 

[tnvols72]

Have we even remotely thought about throwing a pass further than 10 yards down the field?

been like that all year. A WR screen or run up the middle or an out pass.Thats the entire playbook

 

[Carl Pickens]

Let's see....

Doesn’t matter

 

[Frozevol]

To who? They are dropping safeties deep same as GA. Kirby broke this offense the first game they met and it's just a recipe for everyone else.

I’d settle for a 20 yarder

 

[first time caller]

I'm not watching another OSU series. See ya guys and gals.

 

[BreatheUT]

Honestly, Nico is the only reason we are competitive. He has no one to throw to, no one to hand off to, and no line to block him. Too many injuries.

However, Defense did this, destroyed morale with that first drive and future drives.

First drive of the game on defense looked promising. The face mask changed the complexion. After that Ohio State was playing with house money on that drive. It's the little things.

 

[utvolpj]

The restrictions aren’t significant at this point. 2 scholarships a year.

But have been for the past few years (plus all the transfers). You can't catch up in one class

 

[patrick]

Our Oline is not good.

Our Dline has been pretty overrated I think.

Losing Pili was a big deal.

And DCs have figured out this offense.

“DCs have figured out this offense”

X 1,000

But Heupel had not adjusted to counter the defense with the exception of using two tight ends occasionally.

 

[TNVOLnTX]

Have we even remotely thought about throwing a pass further than 10 yards down the field?

No time

 

[G0V0LS33]

Huep does not trust his QB. At all.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Are our WR not getting open or is Nico not seeing them?

Little of both

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Heup has NO BALLS I mean none. You go for that there wtf play to win damnit

That’s playing to get blown out, which may still happen.

 

[Dergibvol]

Nico running well but not seeing the zones well. Add in our receivers aren't winning much and this is what happens.

 

[djwes]

Ass whipping all the way around , just very discouraging. Think most fans would have been ok with a hard fought loss given the circumstances but we get this garbage.

 

[connor]

just wow

 

[djohnnyg]

I hope Oregon destroys OSU.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

How do you look yourself in the mirror after punting there
