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

[Offset Eye]

Reminds of both games we played against Nebraska in the 90s... and the two against Penn State in the 90s. Awful.

 

[orangerush]

Heup is the man, LOL.

DLine has been slightly overrated all year. Good players here and there, but not as good as advertised. They haven't gotten home enough. Not enough sacks. Amd good passing teams, which we haven't played many, can pick us apart with the time they have.

 

[Cartervol]

Still gots lot of work to do obviously. UT is middle of SEC 10 wins or not. Should be ranked around 17-19. Playing in the Liberty Bowl.

 

[LVol]

This playoff shi+ kinda sucks. You’re at an incredible disadvantage playing on the road, and if you lose, it’s just over. Your 10-2 season doesn’t end with a nice trip to New Orleans or Florida or whatever…..we go to cold ass Ohio to end what we should be considering a successful season. These playoff games should be at neutral sites moving forward. The road teams are 0-4 and it’s kinda bullshi+.

I love this!

we need to recruit players from up north just in case we have to play in cold weather again

 

[cgrish]

Like I said what the heck were they doing the last 2 weeks . They had to have known they were out matched come up with a plan, but they didn’t

And should have known they would apply lots of pressure on the qb and came up with some quick hitting passes, to compensate for this. Our pass plays down field takes far too long to develop. a quick slant is open most of the game, but we either throw to the side line or down field on the sidelines, and no time for qb to hit any long downfield passes.

I’d love to stick around and hear Bob sign off for his last Vol football game, but I guess he’s doing basketball and I’ll just wait.
I have had it with this hot pile of dookie

 

[JMSqb11]

So as it turns out, the Arkansas loss did cost us a home game

 

[Memphisvol87]

I want to watch this disgusting failure. And I hope Heupel does too. Go get elite coaches and pay for elite players left and right. He is clearly not able to out scheme talent. Every year Georgia eats our lunch. Ohio state is doing the same.

 

[kthompson1986]

Y’all need to look up the comparisons in the rosters as far as 4 and 5 stars it’s unbelievable and we still have a ways to go before we can compete. I think CJh has massively overachieved with what he has had to work with

 

[DD4ME]

Defense ought to have enough pride to keep
That from happening!

How there is 10 minutes left lol

 

[Volsfannn]

They been done in this game they hate the cold apparently

They sure wanted to go shirtless pregame though. I knew then, this was gonna be ugly

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Maybe we should play some of the younger guys to let them get some experience .

 

[Other_Guy]

You called me delusional and then made something up.

So you admit you're easily triggered. Lol

 

[IndianaVol]

Oye...still 10 plus minutes to go.
I'm ever the optimist, but man the boys just aren't playing tonight.

 

[BreatheUT]

Worst performance and beatdown of the playoffs.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Did we give up or never show up?

Never showed up

 

[Orange931]

I’m getting the hell out of this dump of a stadium. I’ll always love the Vols, but our football team was pathetic tonight.

 

[york.adamray]

Yeah. I waited weeks for this game. It would be a slap in the face to turn it off.

What is on the TV is the slap in the face f on Heupel to the punters

 

[Frozevol]

LI expected a better showing tonight from the Vols.

Issues

1 - Elarbee is abysmal but he is Heupel’s boy;

2 - Martinez is bad;

3 - wideouts are slow and can’t get open;

4 - TN is poorly coached and undisciplined;

5 - Banks?;

6 - Heupel play calling hasn’t adjusted to counter what defenses are taking away;

7 - Oline is mid and there is no development - see 1 above.

But TN did make the playoff this year and had 10 wins. Good season but tonight is rough.

I’m sorry but I think you can’t get embarrassed in a huge game and and call it a good season. Especially when you lose to the team with most arrogant fan base the country. This is worse than what Nebraska did to us with Peyton because this was the marquee game.

 

[Rocky Top T]

We got to do ordinary things at a high level. Embarrassing!

 

[kcvols1]

yep, this sucks. Gonna stop wearing my UT stuff. Gonna get an ear full tomorrow and Monday at work. ****ing a

B!tch, you better show up in orange on Monday.

Tell ‘em Popcorn said “*** you!”
