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

[RAVOL]

$20 million team and Chip Kelly.
If they don’t win the NC, it should be a crime.

It was 22 million and yes this is why they were preseason favorite with GA.

I’d really love to be a fly on the wall in the QB room. Nico isn’t seeing the field at all. His eyes are all over the place. The playcalling has done him no favors but you can’t just stare down receivers.

He throws from a good base. Just reset your feet in the pocket, and throw people open…this is difficult to watch.

 

[FSUgothosed]

Regardless Banks is doing a terrible job tonight

Meh…that’s because your favorite team is getting torched. I’m not a Will Howard fan but all of those passing TDs were dropped in a bucket. One was even likely pass interference. He can’t make the defenders knock the ball out

 

[Orangecrush#27]

What’s dumb are the posters who predicted us to plant a flag in the middle of their field tonight.

The same ones are crying the most rn.

 

[patrick]

Oline first and foremost

2nd would be a good db coach.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Some of y'all really going out on Heupel now? Lol, ok.

 

[Carl Pickens]

No one is open. No one.

No one getting open and no Sampson to carry the ball is too much to overcome

 

[Dergibvol]

Most disappointed in the DL play. Not winning the LOS against a soft OSU line

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

All over the field..

OSU, Texas, and UGA a tier about us in recruiting.

 

[orange_glory]

Pick 6?

 

[90 Vol]

Banks is Broyles award finalist. Somebody please hire him.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We need a miracle at this point. We'll, probably 2 or 3 of them

 

[joevols89]

well thats 8 players short in 4 years, 8 good players could make a huge difference

It’s just 2 total. Spread out over 4.

 

[VOLLeeann]

Josh needs to hand over the offense to somebody else.

You !!!!!

 

[Orange defense]

They are going to score here.

 

[joevol33]

Now we can't stop a run

 

[GhostVol]

Doesn’t matter

This year isn't TN's year....

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

It’s just a mismatch. Plus we have 0 discipline

 

[tnvols72]

Vols desperately need a new OC and WR coach. Receivers are poorly developed.

The entire staff needs a overhaul except for Garner

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

WHY IS THE PLAYBOOK CLOSED OFF to TWO PLAYS??

WHO’s fault is that??

We are actually missing Dylan Sampson, the SEC player of the year, plus one of our major receivers, Squirrel White.

These are not "next man up" kind of pieces of our team.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

This is completely embarrassing. Offense playing scared. Nico running ball is all we have and defense lol, wth....they are lost . Eye discipline well there isn't any. Looking in backfired while people are running circles around you

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

We can't close it. Players don't want to come to Knoxville anymore. We can get a few here and there like Nico or David Sanders but just not enough.


This sh*t right here is not getting it done and I think our NIL and Heupel are probably doing the best they can. 15-20 years of mediocrity will do this to your program as well as living in a useless state for High School Football talent.

Yeah that’s not gonna win a natty

 

[87&91ALUM]

Good grief OSU 10 yards a carry. Gotta turn this off. Hard on my heart.

 

[DD4ME]

LB play on both sides is killing us.

 

[Vtonerider]

OSU us takin' it to the Banks
