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

[DC_Vol]

Can we use some of that NIL bank on some staff upgrades?

 

[Orangecrush#27]

The writing is on the wall. Just a matter of time. Team is too damn soft.

Every time we play a big game. If it’s not at home: the whole team crumbles in the environment. Josh needs new coordinators asap. He might not be the up in your face rally the troops kinda guy but he damn sure needs to find one . Him Tim banks; Joey, I see no passion on the side lines

 

[Purplehaze26]

Not to pile on, but he could be the poster boy for this game. You don’t win titles with starting lineman from Sullivan East high school, doesn’t happen. Recruit better.

Worse still , our incoming class is ranked 6 or 7 in SEC. Oh, but I forgot we make up for it in the portal. Right

 

[patrick]

The good news is we will have the same coaching staff next year, yippee

Exactly. Heupel isn’t going to change a damn thing.

 

[Ernie McCracken]

Ryan you won... call the dogs off. much as i hate to say it.

 

[TheFlash1971]

We had a good season and a poor showing tonight. Tough way to go out. On to the basketVols and baseball is right around the corner.

Go Vols!

Yeah we think we’re good in basketball too until we play team like UCONN in the sweet 16 and get out coached and drubbed

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Heads need to roll for this. It’s one thing to get beat but we are soft, undisciplined. Predictable We have major defencies as well but the effort looks ******. Completely embarrassing, it’s gonna take a while to get past this.

[BJWeeks]

Mike Matthews and Stayley to the portal tomorrow

 

[Andrew8210]

I believe they are but that isn’t saying a lot. I see ND beating them pretty easily. Oregon and Texas seem to be the cream of the crop

Didn't Georgia beat Texas 2 times ?

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I really don't think we could beat any in the 12 team playoff on the road. At Knoxville we can play with any of them. We have got to look at our road game preparation, something is wrong on this.

Clemson would not beat the Vols. They have no defense and they no longer have a running game.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

I am severely disappointed by the lack of Rocky Top in this game. Just don't feel right.

 

[Orange931]

How f’ing embarrassing. The backup QB with nearly 10 minutes left. Unbelievable

 

[Volswami]

Heupel needs to fire a few coaches

 

[Mwebb12]

Huepel better make some dang good decisions this offseason. We need new OL DB coach and I don’t like banks as DC.

 

[teeball]

Flood gates going to open on the portal tomorrow, I fear.

Meh ...

 

[vavolfan6]

Does Ohio State beat Oregon ?

Heck no. They only played the best game of the year becuase Tennessee was the opponent. It has to be us. They will look like crap next week just becuase

 

[PharmDVFL]

Heupel can not coach on the road

 

[KTrain]

WellI hate that Dylan Sampson has such a terrible ending to his career

 

[patrick]

Just spitballing but we might want to invest in a QB coach, new OC and new DC.

Not going to happen. Heupel keeps his enemies close and his friends closer.

 

[DD4ME]

Embrace the suck

 

[Cartervol]

Every time we play a big game. If it’s not at home: the whole team crumbles in the environment. Josh needs new coordinators asap. He might not be the up in your face rally the troops kinda guy but he damn sure needs to find one . Him Tim banks; Joey, I see no passion on the side lines

It's a pattern at this point.

 

[mpfvol]

He should have never been in the two deep at any point. They have to recruit better.

CJH loves Seniority and sticking with his guys no matter what he is who he is

 

[BreatheUT]

It's a waste of time to watch the rest of this one. Now I'm watching to make sure they don't get fiddly.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

The bad thing about this loss is they were way more physical and faster than us. Theoretically what the SEC is supposed to excel in. They SEC'd the SEC.
