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

[Go47]

We should have - in my humble opinion - had a home game. I think we would have won at home.

But this loss is embarrassing.

 

[djwes]

Tennessee should be demoted to a group of 5 football conference. Such a waste of $

 

[Cartervol]

Oline is complete trash. Wr's need a upgrade. Nico getting killed.

I can’t even.

 

[orangerush]

Can we add talent fee for coaching upgrades to the ticket prices

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Calling the shot now. This team will not make the playoff next year.

We'd probably need a couple guys to forgo the draft to even have a sniff. They'll need to hit the portal hard and find an edge there. Lots of work to do.

VoLs on road

This is the same Big Ten officiating crew we had at the Music City Bowl against Purdue. Same guys. Look it up.

I was wrong…it’s the same ACC crew. My bad.

Saturday, Tennessee will take on Ohio State with a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line, the Vols enter the game as 7 point underdog.

To who?

You can throw short without it being a 30 yard hitch for 2 yards. Our passing game has no creativity at all. Those short crossing routes that we can never cover might work for us too.

 

[Undercs]

hs offense. anyone with a d line shuts this o down.

 

[The_Dude]

Cannot block or hold position. Completely outmatched on both the OLine and DLine. Nice season outside of this and the Arkansas game.

This should read. Hey are you dead??

 

[rocketskates]

Home field advantage is important, but our fans traveled very well for this game and tbh we wouldn’t have won even at Neyland with as flat as we’ve looked tonight.

 

[Other_Guy]

But I think it also shows if our DL isn’t dominant, our secondary can’t hold up. It’s a snowball effect. Tonight hurts. I really thought this team would win. Totally unprepared and inept. Facemask was just the first self inflicted wound.

Y’all remember this defense against Bama? We were locking down. I know OSU has weapons but we’ve had no answers.

Alabama scored 3 against OU.

 

[wmcovol]

Looking like Heupel may be our Gus Malzhan

Auburn misses Gus

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Yep or else just except 3-6th best team in conference every year. We’re getting absolutely embarrassed. If I hear CH say we didn’t play well I’ll puke. No you got out coached in every facet of the game. Against elite defenses this offense is trash unless you have 3-4 elite recievers which we don’t.

Brick by brick

 

[Madscientistvol]

Welp, I’m done. I could not possibly care less who wins the CFCG. UT is out and so am I. What a disheartening and disappointing way to exit. Not even competitive.

 

[volnomnom]

TN never has fire in the belly. They start every game flat.

Remember early in the season with Pili? He made a HUGE difference. He made this defense look SCARY, especially at the beginning of games.

No one stepped up when he went out.

 

[BiggsVolFan]

Playing like this, I'm calling ********.

Agreed - Playing like this We wouldn't beat anyone remotely close to the playoffs (even at Neyland )

 

[Vawlk Tuah]

Yeah. F*** all the fans who supported their team and went out on a limb and defended their team when OSU fans and others were talking s*** about them.

Nobody said f them.. we're just pointing out the fact that complaining or whining about it when it blows back on us is stupid lol

 

[chuckb1448]

I'm at a loss.... honestly: I thought we looked Weird All Season. I avoided asking questions when we won, which was often, but something didn't seem right even when we won.

I'm glad for our Men for getting 10 wins this year but I feel rather hollow

 

[BigOrangeD]

Our guys are soft:

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Gotta wonder if Sanders is watching this and thinking man I messed up or man they need me to get where they want to go. Hope it is the second.

 

[orangerush]

Shuffle pass for 18 yards, LOL

 

[VolTom1]

Its not just home feild. Josh has not had our players ready for nearly every game this year. Yes Home field helped us win some of those, but why can we not be ready to play? Also the play calling and lack of development at key positions like WR and OL is HUGE red flag.
