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

[Frozevol]

Be nice if our team gave Nico any help

And the coaches

 

[Memphisvol87]

this happens every year against Georgia. And then at least one bad team sneaks up on us a beats us. Ohio state has dudes. We have like 2 dudes in Pearce and Sampson. The rest are just ok. We have no dudes and that’s the problem.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

#17 stepped out of bounds on that throw.. If he had caught it there would have been a penalty

 

[tomq_123]

I’m out. See everyone next season. As always, Go Vols!!!

 

[Bollweevil]

I feel bad for David Sanders.

 

[onevol74]

Good thing they have already sold the season tickets for next year. They would be highly discounted now.

 

[joevols89]

Honestly surprised Heupel didn't punt

Hilarious he went for it after punting last drive when the game was still in reach technically.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

I don’t even wanna watch this anymore. Sad I had a feeling this is how it would go, we’ve done this all year came out flat but they have way too much talent to overcome it. If we played out best game I still think we lose. They have better talent

 

[BeardedVol]

No! JH did not have this team ready and has called a horrible game on both sides! He is not an elite coach. Golesh was why our offense was so good. Not him. He’s no better than Butch jones.

He's better than Butch, but without an expanded playoff, I don't think Heupel is ever getting TN to Atlanta or the CFP again.

He's a coach that's good for a 10-11 win season with a 7-2 conference record every few seasons, but he's not building a program that wins consistently in the SEC. He doesn't have the staff necessary for developing talent on that level, and seems to have little desire to put in th effort to do so.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Once again,the OLine and Dline were handled tonight.
Glad Campbell is going. Any talk of Joseph's going pro should stop. Not heard his name all night-along with anyone else thinking of leaving early

 

[BleedOrange81]

Ball in the air, still being blocked out of bounds. No DPI. Of course.

Terrible throw

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

why does Nico immediately abandon the play even with no pressure?

He has actual battered vol syndrome

 

[n_huffhines]

Lol I was just happy to be there. You're the delusional one who thinks this team is better than they showed. They're a slightly better version than Indiana.

Wtf are you talking about, virgin?

 

[A-RodWiLks]

There is a theme in games of meaning the last 2 years since Golesh left. We fall behind early and our offense is vanilla. No slants or downfield throws. No imagination. Are we so devoid of talent? I don't think so but we are the same as we have been for 25 years. We should win our share of these games but we don't. Case in point the option play in the first series of the second half. Short side of the field with low chance of success. I am 65 and have watched Tennessee for 50 years and we use to be feared but that was a long time ago. See y'all next season, GO VOLS!

The no slants is so mind boggling

 

[aRmo]

This offense is garbage and has been for the last 2 years. We thought it was Milton but thats not the case.

Ive said this since NIL started. 3* talent that fits a culture isnt gonna beat a roster full of 5* talent. We walked into a buzzsaw tonight. This is Embarrassing

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

No Sampson was the offensive kill job on us. Defense is another story.

 

[Other_Guy]

What repercussions? Are you so insecure that a loss affects your well being so much?

What are you talking about? I was just happy to be here. I just now am not.going to be able to have a conversation about football without people laughing at how only our fanbase is this level of goofy. Can't we just not talk so much crap until they actually win something?

 

[FSUgothosed]

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

yes by all means your rivals are hoping like hell you chase off Josh Heupel. Tennessee has the 39th best winning percentage in college football since 2000.

You’ve had a litany of bad coach after bad coach after bad coach and now you should runoff the guy that got you in the playoffs Smart thinking.

But hey, you do you the rest of the conference will thank you

 

[cgrish]

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

Ohio State could win it all, and I think they will, but still we should not get beat this bad, even if they do win it all. We just got to somehow learn to play better on the road, and we must be able to throw slants and more to the middle of the field.

 

[0059862]

Wondering if Golesh was Heupel’s Cutcliff

Wondering if Iamaleava is the new Guarantano

 

[Volhoops]

You can't compare Josh to Butch Jones ... Come on ..

You're right because Butch beat Kirby and Josh isn't even close.

 

[Volsfannn]

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

I think UGA would beat osu. UGA is well coached and gets put in positions to win. Just me, which my opinion doesn't matter, but UT's play calling is questionable at best some times.

 

[TheFlash1971]

This

Michigan has an elite defense, we don’t . Very obvious our defense was really not that good verses Ga, Texas, Ohio State and probably Oregon

 

[BeardedVol]

That what happened at Oklahoma ?

Heupel was head coach at Oklahoma?

 

[Other_Guy]

Wtf are you talking about, virgin?

Why are you so triggered?
