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

[87&91ALUM]

Freshmen QBs do this....Banks defense evaporated.

 

[loggervol]

I haven’t said anything about the coaching or the play all year but this is embarrassing.

 

[ETV]

Wondering if Golesh was Heupel’s Cutcliff

No wonder anymore. Should be obvious.

 

[MemphisVolFan1978]

What’s worse? Getting into the playoffs and looking this bad or just barely getting left out. At least if we got left out we could all be on here talking about how we deserved to be in and would have played better than all the teams that lost in the first round.

 

[djohnnyg]

Maybe Nico should play running back instead.

 

[C-south]

Nico with awesome pocket presents.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Ohio State showed up. Tennessee didn't! You don't win when that happens. This looks like the 98 Orange Bowl against Nebraska.

We haven’t showed up all year other than spurts.

 

[Allvols98]

I don't get it. Why not give the tackle some help

 

[Dergibvol]

It's insane to be this far in an still have these issues at the tackle position. Also must be why Pearce always tried to run up field around the edge. Works in practice all week

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I am afraid we will degress a lot next year, especially with o line

Yes, I think that’s a distinct possibility the O-Line has been mediocre or worse all season long and we are losing a lot of those guys. I don’t have any faith in the O-Line coaching to coach up the guys we have left.

 

[Frozevol]

We still got David sanders

For now

 

[theroyz71]

Poor Dane Davis.

 

[firestorm]

I didn’t overlook a disappointment, however I wasn’t expecting an uncompetitive game.

 

[zaqhhh]

Maybe just protect Nico and put the backups in, let them get in for the experience.

 

[BJWeeks]

Dayne Davis better not come back

 

[cgrish]

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

who did we beat this year on the road who was any good at all?

 

[DD4ME]

Love you guys. Cannot do it. Literally cannot talk, watch, discuss, entertain.

 

[patrick]

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.

10- season in the SEC is a good season regardless of a playoff or bowl game outcome.

Not happy that we have gotten out played, out coached and boat-raced. Heupel had had a horrible night. He had to do better.

 

[adam.vol]

Put in the senior QB. Nico is going to get himself hurt. I’ve never seen anyone blind sided from their throwing side like this before.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Nico is not very good.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Another missed holding/PI

 

[TheFlash1971]

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

Ohio State would have drubbed us at home also, talent gap just waaay to big

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

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

Lack of real talent was the killer.

 

[Purplehaze26]

Gonna hang fifty on us

 

[LLcoolDave]

Brazzel has been kind of a dissapointment
