I worry about turnovers and I would expect OU to be trying to rip out the football, otherwise you can turn out the lights. OK, so it takes us 3 minutes to score instead of two, after all, it is the SEC.I disagree. Nico doesn’t have to ball out to win this game in my opinion. On the other hand, he can’t make young QB mistakes and cost us the game. I think if he can have a respectable 200+ yard game with no silly turnovers we can run the ball and win the game. I don’t expect a huge game for Nico for his first real test in Norman. Hope I’m proved wrong.
Love Nico, but some of you Vols fans talk too much. You basically put a bigger target on the guy. All it takes is either a malicious or accidental hit to mess him up. Baseball is a game of inches, football is a game of collisions. And that doesn't even mention the ever-increasing calls and non-calls of referees. Some of who even seem to have a vendetta against the Vols. Here's a non-Vol incident that illustrates the BS officials get away with these days.
This is where I’m at as well. We just need to avoid catastrophic mistakes. Think we could survive an interception or two just don’t combine it with sack fumbles. Unless OU’s offense get dramatically better we can run the ball and play the field position game to winI disagree. Nico doesn’t have to ball out to win this game in my opinion.

Do you realize Nico has been on campus for 21 months? Wasn’t long ago a freshman had been on campus for 3 months at this point in the season. He was vetted and hired by one of the premier coaches of qb’s in college football who has been training him for 21 months. If he’s not ready by now then he’s not the super talent everyone perceives him to be.Nico is a freshman. This will not be his best year at Tennessee. We're very hopeful that it is adequate or even really good, but it will not be his best year---he's a freshman QB!
This guy writes worse than me and that's hard to do lol . I didn't care for their tasteless zingers and one liners they threw in there . I do think they made some valid points though. I think Nico holds it together and the good guys win 31-17 and 10 of Oklahoma's points come off of turnovers . It's Thursday morning and I'm so fired up , I can't sleep . I can't even begin to imagine how fired up our team is .This is what some rando had to say about why we lose to OU. Thoughts?

Kinda sounds like an overly optimistic reach. In his scenario, OU beats anyone in the countryThis is what some rando had to say about why we lose to OU. Thoughts?

So basically, he thinks we’re on par with Tulane on both sides of the ball.This is what some rando had to say about why we lose to OU. Thoughts?

Guy was like "I need a hilarious line to emphasize how skinny I think Nico is" and so he thought and he thought and... "Nico weighs less than four Doritos" is what came to mind...This is what some rando had to say about why we lose to OU. Thoughts?

Agree, but this could be the best UT team he is on. Not a certainty, but the mix of young talent, experience, and depth on this year's team looks special.Nico is a freshman. This will not be his best year at Tennessee. We're very hopeful that it is adequate or even really good, but it will not be his best year---he's a freshman QB!
I know you do. Then try to avoid the embarrassment by laughing about it. But that's OK, probably why it's called a message board.
