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

That was tOSU fans making fun of the SEC

 

[BigOrangeD]

Our DBs are lost as last year's Easter eggs.

 

[cwbytruckers]

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

We don’t belong

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

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?

We hardly ever blitz and our d has regressed greatly since about mid season. Pili really hurt but we need changes at some coaches positions.

 

[Frozevol]

How many of those 10 wins were lucky wins or good performance

That's the reality of it.. They can put a happy face on it, doesn't change that reality.

This was a down year for the conference and we profited off it. On the positive side we are a basketball conference now.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Nico just doesn’t see down field

He see a lot of coverage on our receivers

 

[FSUgothosed]

Will Howard is like beck. Don't let him get comfortable from the start.

TOSU has blocked well and they are SO physical. Ask yourself how many UT players have been on the field getting looked at vs tOSU 10 to none

 

[vavolfan6]

You've got to find a way to make this scoreline respectable. Fans talked alot of s***. We've been trolling all week. We made the trip and represented the university. We had the team's back.

But we are getting embarassed. Not just a loss, but manhandled. The fans look ridiculous. Complete egg on our face. This type of loss that will be embedded in fans minds for a long time.

 

[knoxchief]

Made the late decision not to drive 6 hours to OH for the game in cold azz weather. Seems like I made the right decision!

 

[Cartervol]

Speed kills, and OSU has it all over the field. Maybe some of you will start to listen to the people who are consistently attacked on this board for saying our recruiting has to be better. The ol “we are in the top 15 in recruiting and getting it done in portal” is simply not good enough (sorry, hard pill to swallow). This team is more talented than us. We don’t have a WR on our team that could make OSU practice squad. Their secondary has elite players everywhere. Outside Pearce and Sampson, I’m not sure we have anyone else that’d start for OSU if they had a healthy roster. We also need to figure out the OL, DB, and WR development.

It's not good enough. If we really have a top notch NIL then it shouldn't be 10th.

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Someone Definitely needs fired after the performance tonight by this offense. If heupel continues to role with this staff then his seat Definitely starts to warm up in my opinion

 

[utvolpj]

How do we look right now?

If you think a 10 win season and making the playoffs is mediocrity then you're a complete moron who is ignoring the past 15yrs. It's an idiotic take

 

[mpfvol]

Hard to watch this one.

Yes Defense looks like they quit

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Why does it seem that, when we have a bye week, we lose our intensity?

 

[wmcovol]

Punting it isn’t going to get us no where. Should’ve went for it. We don’t have nothing to lose anymore.

It’s going to be embarrassing enough. No need to be stupid about it.

 

[90 Vol]

Danny what u gonna do

Count our “talent fee” money.

 

[VFL1127]

Not sure why coach is drawing up plays across the middle? TE, Matthews, heck send any body slanting across. It's been wide open all night.

 

[connor]

That was OSU fans chanting that. Sarcastic pricks.

Oh I assumed it was us since we were chanting you’re fired earlier to Ohio states coach

 

[Orangecrush#27]

We’ve gotten whooped on both sides of the los

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This game will serve as a humbling splash of ice water in the face for the program. Got lots of work to do in all areas.

 

[Other_Guy]

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

Some of us see Heupel as an above average coach who can turn a program around and be a 10 win guy. This has been a lifesaver for the program obviously. Someone on here said Richt lite and I'd take that in a heartbeat because at least he won the SEC. I'm worried about being a playoff bubble team every year for several years before I'm worried about moving on from Heupel. He's also been ahead of the game with NIL.

 

[rocketskates]

Yes

Im with you

 

[Chad Powers]

I dont trust Heup

I don’t trust Nico or Heup after this weird ass season.

 

[C-south]

Fans are dumb

You can’t deny what you see even if some are exaggerating a little.

 

[Volbrando]

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

It’s always been flawed we just looked good this year because of our D line
