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

[Putbacks]

After this one, we gonna know how Kent State felt…

 

[BleedOrange81]

Pope in there also and elarbee..

 

[adam.vol]

I don’t think Nico can see without his goggles.. He can’t find his way out of the pocket or see a blitz coming from his throwing arm side

 

[TN1111]

Well hopefully after this ass whooping we make some necessary changes in the off season.

Sadly, we wont

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Are we gonna change anything? We’ve gotten our ass smoked 3 times on that back flair out. We just can’t seem to ever adjust!

Nope. Just like Georgia. They cannot adjust

 

[87&91ALUM]

We are getting dominated....plenty of time to turn this around...or not. Big night for Tennessee liquor stores and bars. No big screen a plus. Cmon Vols!

 

[barney]

Pretty clear we do not have enough speed on defense to play with these guys. Elarbee should be left on the tarmac tonight.

 

[MiramarVol]

I see the noobs and trolls are done Christmas shopping and decided to stop by and be that dude tonight.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

New Years Day 2005 Cotton Bowl. It's coming.

We won that game handily

 

[patrick]

Best team money can buy

Isn’t that the name of the game?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Well 10-3 is better than 9-5

 

[knoxchief]

Do you think John Gruden is still available?

 

[Vol737]

Yet some are blaming it on the refs.

Refs don’t even need to intervene here. OSU is light years ahead of us in talent and execution. How they lost to Michigan, I’ll never know. But that’s how rivalry games go.

 

[SlipKidVol]

Really bad. Not just getting out played, but not showing up.

 

[dalton_vol]

You heard him mentioned anywhere? No

No body is hiring banks.

 

[DD4ME]

All the bad juju for Day has rapidly shifted to Heupel lol.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I’ve been having some bad dreams lately. Hope I wake up from this one soon. Game really hasn’t started yet and I took a nap

 

[Enigmatic_Vol]

If this pathetic performance doesn’t make him realize this coaching staff needs an overhaul and we need to hit the portal hard to not only build depth but to upgrade talent I’m not sure what will, and for the love of God please change your offensive approach to the game! We look like a team that doesn’t even deserve to be on the same field as them right now, and I just hope we don’t see a mass exodus of what little bit of talent we have

Don't overreact.

 

[chuckb1448]

Not even close to a targeting incidentally, QB lowered helmet and DB hit with shoulder side of helmet. Not avoidable

Yeah, we Graze a facemask and it's a Penalty.... CRACK a Helmet and we have No Targeting

 

[84Volfan]

Man just flat out out manned. They are better at every position…

Well we might be better at punter but we will never know

 

[VOLifornia]

Here’s something else to let sink in… You had 3 weeks to prepare for this… 3 freaking weeks!

 

[JMSqb11]

Crazy to think that the kill shot could come first 5 minutes of the second quarter but Chip Kelly has us on skates.

 

[DD4ME]

Really bad. Not just getting out played, but not showing up.

Guys are struggling for sure.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

That whole shirt off warm up did not showcase a team full of speed demons. I know OLine and Dline need to be big dudes but they looked like the conditioning coach has been working from home.

 

[BeardedVol]

My only comment is going to be:

"Once Nico learns how to dink and dunk this offense will be unstoppable"

Lol, he'll have an even worse oline next year, and he's terrible under pressure.

He's not going to "dink and dunk" on anyone while he's here.
