We still have Basketball to look forward to!

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

Pretty sure the chant is coming from the OSU fans…

 

[BP4Prez]

Haven’t got close to Howard all night outside of the face mask sack

 

[Zues1]

I didn’t say he would. We don’t have depth in the oline at all.

Elarbee sucks but he and every other coach on staff isn’t going anywhere. Heupel will never fire his boys.

Correct, that's his biggest hold up.
Loyalty to his friends and his starters.

 

[connor]

That was tOSU fans making fun of the SEC

aware now but appreciate u still

 

[MDsweetT]

Because he has gotten the CRAP beat out of him from the moment he stepped on the field. He is a fighter so he is trying to make plays but he is wild and not slowing thigs down in his head. He is thinking of scramble every time.

Oh no I agree. And this isn’t me bashing Nico. I love the kid’s fight. It’s definitely a culmination of everything. But as a QB, this is what separates good to great.

Again, I’d love to know how he’s being coached. Like where are your eyes supposed to be? What defender(s) are you reading pre & post snap? Who’s your alert? Who’s you’re hot? Not a lot of answers with this coaching/playcalling

The speed difference is hard to believe.

I saw it when I was in Athens watching Tennessee. Georgia's TEs were burning our DBs and LBs. (A lot of times, they are setting matchups with our LBs who are slower. tOSU is doing that as well).

 

[Other_Guy]

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.

You mean the fanbase.

 

[orangerush]

Offense never showed up, they’re about as explosive as a fart

 

[Rocky Top T]

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

Amen

 

[GAVol]

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.

Part of it is Nico but there aren’t a lot of open guys out there.

 

[joevols89]

Decision to punt was a surrender cobra move.

 

[LLcoolDave]

Man, we look like a FCS program against this team

 

[Orange931]

We still have Basketball to look forward to!

And baseball

 

[DD4ME]

Bray embracing the dark side

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

For the older guy, remember in the early 90’s when we got pushed around by Penn state? Fulmer saw the writing on the wall and adjusted accordingly. This another one of those moments.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Soft

 

[Frozevol]

D has quit

 

[BJWeeks]

Our Dline is not that good

 

[theroyz71]

Getting abused

 

[VOLifornia]

Well Q3 coming to a close and to be honest we can’t even say we were competitive. We will be rated as the worst of the CPF round 1 teams based on this performance. Outside of Kevin Jennings performance for SMU this was a complete team disaster.

 

[GoVols64]

We are playing the best team on the schedule, at home, and it shows. Not having Sampson is a huge blow, probably more mentally than physically.

We are a good team, not a great one. The difference is our WRs are weak sauce. Bru is really the only true talent. This must improve. We need dawgs out wide and we don’t have them.

Still, we aren’t this bad. Just getting rolled by Uncke Mo.

 

[utvolpj]

We are the same weak ass team as Indiana and SMU

The posts get dumber.

 

[york.adamray]

LETS GO DUCKS!!! only team I will pull for during the rest of this CFP

 

[AntiochVol81]

I mean they are just wide open over and over
