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

[FSUgothosed]

Someone tell them they will only be 2-13 against the SEC after this game

Doubt they care

 

[orange_glory]

How dare they have fun and enjoy being a fan?

I'll tell you a secret - none of that affected the final score

Your right it was shi#!ty playcalling, coaching, and a team so weak that a fart would blow them over

 

[JMSqb11]

Bright side is Nico put together a decent first year as starter. Lot of good to build on going into the offseason.

 

[BreatheUT]

Embarrassing effort. We look like a FBS team they paid to come and get your whooping

One of the worst performances of the weekend.

 

[C-south]

We may just break 100 yards passing before this thing is over

8 million well spent. At least everybody got some beats headphones.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Why call a fair catch at the 2?

To get the ball at the 25

 

[IndianaVol]

Don't lose to Arkansas and you're playing at home...simple as that.

 

[tomq_123]

Will Howard’s NIL deal is 1.1 million. Nico’s is 8 million. Will Howard has the mental ability to understand defenses. Nico is just absolutely lost.

Isn’t Howard a Senior? Nico is still a Red shirt Freshman

 

[VOLifornia]

When you have nobody downfield to throw to because of no separation then it is what it is.

We’ve not given OSU a reason to play any closer than 15 yards off the line. You aren’t going to get separation that way.

 

[aRmo]

This Offense isnt creatove enough to beat defenses that have talent and a pulse.

 

[Volsfannn]

Embarrassed in prime time...... again. I love the vols, they don't love me. Just wanted to not get Embarrassed.

 

[SasquatchVFL]

Embarrassing. We didn’t belong in the CFP. Lost worse than Clemson, SMU, and Indiana. Feel bad for all the VFL’s that made the trip to Columbus. This staff lost me tonight. Pathetic all around.

 

[tnvols72]

down 25 and run shovel pass

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Heupel gave up lol

 

[Dergibvol]

Y'all act like Ohio State wasn't ranked 2 all year until the debacle against Michigan. Ohio state has more talent than any team k. The SEC including Georgia. My hope was Michigan gave us a blueprint

 

[BADGER_VOL]

It all started with the lines. If our DL isn’t itself the whole defense drops several levels. Few back fields can cover more than a few seconds so you gotta have a rush and we are getting none. Their OL stepped up. Our DL got wrecked.

That’s where it began and it was the most critical match up for us to have an advantage to build from.

 

[Undercs]

Give Huep a raise and an extension

why

 

[Gandalf]

I say just throw hail mary's at this point and hope for the best.. this is worse than South Carolina game 2 years ago. Worse than the Georgia State debacle under Pruitt.

Dont be silly, we are in the playoffs, not losing to some GA state - but still, we are getting embarrassed by a better team.

 

[vols 30]

OSU - 422 yards
UT - 175 yards

 

[volbound1700]

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 had Ryan Williams and no one else. Milroe isn't a great passer.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Hey honestly….hes not as talented as I had hoped

He's not going anywhere. We better hope the OL help we are working on pans out

 

[FSUgothosed]

Banks... they have ran that same DAMN PLAY 4 times

Don’t you think you should blame the players

 

[Volhoops]

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

Mpst of the tough games are on the road, Bama and FL which he will lose because he doesn't win big games on the road. GA will beat us again in Neyland.

 

[Stickseller]

Vol Twitter with the stupid Neyland north, plant the flag, throw the goalposts in the river... I'm more annoyed at the fans than the team. Haven't won anything in over 20 years yet no one talks more crap than we do.

How about the topic earlier in this message board about how colorful the rose bowl will be with Tennessee and Oregon playing in it?

 

[DD4ME]

Why do we always have to ne the ones everyone gets their footing against. We are always the whipping boy.
