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

[Go47]

People - stop with commentary about officiating. Yes, some calls have been missed . . . But they are dominating us in every phase of the game: offense / defense / special teams / and coaching. AND they are more talented.

 

[BreatheUT]

Guys we acted like we expected them to punt instead of being ready to play on 4th down.

 

[volbound1700]

Come on. That's an exaggeration and you know it. It sucks, not going to sugar coat it, but we pack 100k in every week and are routinely ranked in the Top 10-15. It's not where we want it to be, but we are not a basketball school.

UNC, Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, they're the basketball schools. Just go look at thei

Cant cover their receivers and backs in motion. Out of position every time.

We don't have the players. We are done as a Football program. We can't recruit. Our classes are no where near Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State level rankings if you look at them, even in best years. We are a decent program now but won't win anything major. I guess that is fine...

 

[JMSqb11]

4th-and-4 and they go for it. They have an agenda, and it involves embarrassing us.

Chip Kelly can end the game right here as crazy as that sounds. No reason to take offense off the field.

 

[first time caller]

We look like Vandy

We look like Kent State

 

[Rocky Top T]

Banks should be fired after this game. He looks dumb against good teams.

He always has. He sucks!

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Heupel lost the game when he deferred.

 

[VOL RN]

Why wouldn’t you go for it.

 

[TitansNVols]

Tennessee has been SIGNIFICANTLY worse with a bye week this year, absolutely unacceptable.

 

[FSUgothosed]

These refs "might" call a hold or pass interference on Ohio State when they are up 35-0

Sure it’s the refs of course

 

[volmoon]

Chip Kelly is schooling Banks

 

[Dergibvol]

Banks had a perfect call there on 4th and our safety didn't make the play

 

[BruiserVol]

I've been a fan for all 35 years of my life.

If OSU goes up 28-0, I'm checking out. This will go down as the most humiliating loss we've ever had in my life, and yes I'm counting Georgia State, etc.

I agree. The whole countries eyes are on us. This will be all that is remembered from this season. How embarrassing.

 

[tnvols72]

On 4th and 4?!?! Yeah Chip Kelly got us.. smdh!!! We look hella unprepared!

We should have seen this coming, Heupels teams looks lost after a by week and he had 3 weeks to prepare for this

 

[lilesrt]

It’ll take an undefeated season to get back in the playoffs after this debacle.

 

[hardin_co85]

Get the belt out during halftime....

 

[patrick]

I'll be shocked if they don't beat us by 50+

Yeah I was thinking the same unfortunately.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Again. They have to
Invest heavily into the roster. And an actual offensive coordinator, and someone… anyone but Martinez.

 

[xJesusx56]

If I had pulled the trigger on tickets, I think I’d claim fraud on my bank statement. This isn’t football, this is a sham

 

[york.adamray]

Your boys are embarrassing themselves but worse, the SEC. Should‘ve been AL.

While I agree we are embarrassing ourselves, Bama did not deserve to be here with their record or losing to Vandy. Off the refs would call a hold against OSU then you wouldn’t be getting all these 1st downs

 

[FLVOL_79]

Normally the defense would be good enough to allow the anemic first half 2024 offense come back in the 2nd half. Not this time. Getting blazed by a big 10 team..its like losing to Vandy.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Yikes. No fear. 4th and 3 at midfield.

That's disrespectful.

-3 yards. We are dog ****

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Absolutely embarrassing. Sitting next to my Ohio State fan wife and I can't say shi#. Our coaches (defense) are garbage. Give banks back to Penn State. Pos

 

[alavolfan]

Maybe we should hold more

They’ll call if on us

 

[Stephen A Smith]

Belt to arse.
