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

[BleedOrange81]

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

Alabama also..

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

This is the best defense the Vols have had in years. It’s ridiculous to keep bitching about Banks

But that's what people who don't know football do. They obviously have no clue

 

[Volizona]

Heupel is calling plays

Fire both OCs then. Find someone who can actually call plays.

 

[GAVol]

Fans are dumb

Mind numbing

 

[DD4ME]

All I heard was how great our D was/is.

They are picking on our linebackers

 

[OrangeInKy]

Tennessee just is not a good football team.

Or Tennessee is a good football team and Ohio State is just a really good football team and not defined by that one game against Michigan. Ohio State could just be a vastly more talented team. Is that an option?

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Still no slants

They are batting down almost all passes thrown inside the markers

 

[Go47]

Every away team got dominated today.

We look exactly like SMU against PSU.

 

[york.adamray]

Blitz every play for the rest of the game!!!

 

[Volhoops]

10 wins is mediocrity? You'll regret that post when you sober up

We are the same weak ass team as Indiana and SMU

 

[Dergibvol]

Yo, can someone like for real explain to me why we haven't got any pressure all night? I thought their O-line was riddled with injuries?

Our dline isn't as good as advertised. OSU has 5 to block 4 each time. Also Banks won't bring pressure as our safeties/lb are weak in coverage.

 

[LVol]

They are zoning him and hes struggling with his reads.
Hopefully, he'll get better as he gets older and make them pay.

Hopefully, I've been hearing this for years. Just saying.

 

[Voltopia]

One thing is for certain.

I'm real real tired of seeing Tennessee make average QBs look good, and above average QBs look amazing. Not a Heupel thing, either, we've done it for decades.

I know we're not the only ones who do that, but damn if it doesn't feel like we're the experts sometimes.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Yes and for good cause. He cannot win big games on the road. Championships are road games. He has done well at home.

Ah, ok then.

 

[BreatheUT]

Defense has sucked. Honestly, I don't think it is an effort issue, it is just the coaching not adjusting and the players just being slow as crap compared to tOSU WR core.

The speed difference is hard to believe.

 

[VOLLeeann]

We are done. We need to pack it up, and get ready for next season.

oh ok im going to the bathroom

 

[deezvols]

I’d be fine with losing if we were even halfway fun to watch…. This is just brutal.

 

[Orange931]

WIN ON THE MF FIELD NOT WITH SOME STUPID SEC CHANT meanwhile down 18 like ?????

That was OSU fans chanting that. Sarcastic pricks.

 

[90 Vol]

You want USF to fire him so we can bring him back?

Yes

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

Yo, can someone like for real explain to me why we haven't got any pressure all night? I thought their O-line was riddled with injuries?

They are but we decided to show pressure but drop 8 and get torched all night. Kind of like the GA game

 

[C-south]

Exactly right. OSU has zero fear that we’re going to run by them and they’re playing downhill.

20 yards off the ball helps when you know there’s a qb that can’t read a defense and make a decent intermediate throw.

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

Guess there was a reason the tickets were so cheap…

 

[orangerush]

We look like one of the teams that’s doesn’t belong in the CFP

 

[Dergibvol]

We are the same weak ass team as Indiana and SMU

We'd have given Penn State a heck of a game. I was praying OSU would jump Penn state

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Because Tim Banks is the defensive coordinator and tightens his butthole against anyone with a pulse

Dude, this has to be it. I absolutely refuse to believe our front line can't get home on them at all
