Nico handing Josh that game ball was better than seeing him throw for 300 and 3TDs on Oklahoma. Him, Samp, Pili, and McCoy are wired right and this entire team had bought in behind them
194 yards and 1TD, but Josh definitely deserved the game ball. He looked at the situation and said, "We have to play conservative, take what we can get, and run the clock where OU doesn't have time to figure something out on offense." The fastest offense in college football ran slow, and I don't think that was just because of how loud that first half was. Heupel understands that tempo is a tactic, not a strategy, and he changed his tactics to fit the battle he was fighting. I've been rooting for the Vols ever since Josh got there, and it's great to see how he's built a great culture and a team that can win multiple ways. I'm proud of OU's defense for holding the Vols to 2 touchdowns and 345 yards while the OU offense gave the Vols three turnovers. I doubt the Vols will see many games with only that much production, and I hope that leads them to an SEC championship (which looks more attainable this year than in a long time). PS Thanks for ripping the band-aid off regarding our QB situation. It hurt, but all we need is our offense to be okay and not turn the ball over to win some big games. This game looks a lot different if OU gets even 6 points off of turnovers on Tennessee's side of the field rather than Jackson handing the ball back to Tennessee immediately both times.

Josh, I've been a Tennessee fan for over 60 years. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly... After roughly 15 years of YUK, it's great to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the video... GO VOLS!!!!
I’ve been a Tennessee fan since 1995. It’s hard for me to say this but I feel your pain brother. You know I do because I got to watch all those games too. Y’all will be back it takes time, good decisions at the management level, and heart. Oh yeah, and money…..
@@TrentNumbers it’s hard to feel any pain for a gator fan. Even when beat you it still doesn’t matter, via 2001 l. We beat FL and it still cost us a chance at NC. That being said, the game against Florida scares me just as much as the AL or GA. I’ll give you credit, you did give us our credit you understand the game and know that this is real team.
This game was never really close. The final score does not dictate this game at all. It was a blowout. Heupel realized poor field conditions on the road, got a nice lead, and put it in cruise control. Smart coached game, hell of a win.
Blowout? I really don’t think so. Heupel changed his game plan but Nico getting pressured and turning the ball over had a lot to do with that too. It could’ve gone bad for a young QB on the road
As a fan, in the NIL era it's great to see a team like TN be quite professionals. The team plays like a family and is coached well to focus on a nameless opponent and to just get better as a unit. They seem to take pride in their university's history of defense, as well as their coaches. Apparently "Bobby from King of the hill" is playing chess with an inner fire that has spread to his team.
From a Sooners die hard; I think Heupel actually held back from running the score up, because they definitely had the ability but he just played for slight lead and time management. Our defense is elite but the backfield was susceptible to the deep pass.
I disagree. I think we were whipping their offense in their normal stuff, turned it over twice, and had no reason to risk it with how inept our offense was. You look at that first half 2 plays is what they had no sustained drives
Heupel didn't have to try to run it up. He knew OUs offense couldn't move the ball, he had a 3 score lead that he was never afraid of losing. Run the ball and the clock and get out of there. No sense in taking chances and giving OUs defense a chance to spark life.
I'm a lifelong OU fan. Unreal to see our offense like this. The 2 forced fumbles gave us real opportunities, and we literally fumbled it right back the first play we had it both times. O-line is a disaster, receiving TD leader from last year is injured, 5-star QB is a bust, and our OC is pathetic. Sucks 🤦🏻♂️
@dondon98 Why? He was brought in to make OU a defensive juggernaut, and he has succeeded at that. Now just needs to figure out the offense and OU will be dominant with BV at the lead!
As a lifelong OU fan myself, I agree with you 100%. Fortunately, we have Hawkins --who proved himself to be a great QB. Our O-line and OC are terrible. With a good OC we could overcome some of the O-line shortcomings (e.g. outside sweeps, screen plays, etc.). Hit the road Jack(son), and don't come back. Boomer!
Tennessee whooped us, hats off. But you completely missed that OUs defense is legit. OU “forced” multiple turnovers and largely held one of the best offenses in check. Too bad our offense stinks.
I’m not sure how good Oklahoma’s defense is because the field was absolute trash. Who knows how it would’ve played out if the Vols offensive players weren’t slipping and sliding all over the place. It seemed that Oklahoma players had the right cleats, the Vols obviously did not.
I despise this concept. Anyone who's ever played at a competitive level in football knows you play until the last whistle. The game doesn't end after 3 quarters.
@@darrenfrazier905 this is what's known as the "volunteers paradox". We could grab a natty this year and people would still say "y'all didn't play anybody". Tennesee ONLY gets credit for having a good team when the NEXT season is starting.
@@JeffMadden-c3u we’re happy to be here. Beats playing prime time games at Noon! Now if only we could find a QB… knowing our luck, we’ll fire our OC for having the worst offense since well, Heupel, and he’ll go on to beat us.
Congrats to the Vols! Tennessee deserves all the credit for a great win. I don't want to take anything away from that.
Even if Josh can't see it, Oklahoma is actually in a pretty good place because of what Brent Venables has built with Oklahoma's defense. OU fans should not be down. Yes, that offense was atrocious, perhaps the worst this century. But I think it's clear to see that Oklahoma is going to have a national championship caliber defense going forward. I don't think OU is as far off as Josh makes it seem.
Surprised at how bad their field was. That was the worst "dry" field I can remember seeing our team play on. OK, use some of that SEC money and upgrade your field.
Tennessee had two back up tackles, and could not protect Nico against the Sooners pressure. Therefore to protect Nico from turning the ball over and giving OU defensive a chance of possibly scoring on defense they took the air out of the ball and ran the ball. Plus Heupel new that a backup qb wasn't going to trouble his defense.
Man I’m a lifelong Vols fan, and God knows that sometimes it’s been hard lol, but I’m very glad that we’ve got a guy like Josh Heupel coaching for us. He’s really turned this program around and put Tennessee back where we belong as a ranked contender. Nothing but love and respect for Heup. 🙏
I don't think all of us Tennessee fans think alike, I've been a fan my entire life and I'm almost 63. I think Coach Josh Heupel is a very good and resilience coach that paid more than his dues. I teared up when I heard his mom passed aways, his father is so respected in knoxville: They brought up this fine young man, we are blessed beyond measure to have Coach Heupel as our coach. We are the luckiest fan base to have such a humble man that treats everyone with so much respect, you can see how much he loves each one of them players. If you ever been to Knoxville, Tennessee UT campus: How many coaches do you see giving a player a fist bump in between classes in the hallway and making sure asking that person if they are doing ok? I'm happy Tennessee and Coach Heup did not run up the score on Oklahoma because it shows Tennessee can beat you in different ways. You want to talk about adversity: The Oklahoma game, beating this team at home by 10 was nothing compared to what he was dealing with even before this game was slated yet, he still won. How about when everyone doubted him when he told everyone Tennessee was going to play elite defense, they did that too, right? I knew from when we got AD Danny White, his choice of hire was Coach Josh Heupel, I heard a lot of doubt because he was coaching UCF but, look at where he put UCF. I was so excited when Danny White said Coach Josh Heupel's name, I was telling other fans: Please give him a chance, We Volunteer fans sometimes don't understand how blessed we are to have Coach Josh Heupel as our coach, beyond measures! GBO!!!! 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🏈❤
I admit that the OU quarterback play has not been to the level that OU is used to but this is an offensive line issue more than a quarterback issue. We hope Jackson Arnold will continue in a line of unbelievable quarterback play. But all those past quarterback greats will admit that their offensive line allowed them to be great. This is still of game of inches and trenches.
Jackson Arnold hasn't impressed (last year, bowl game, spring game, this season). Hit the road Jack(son), and don't come back. The OC and O-line are terrible. A good OC would mitigate a bad O-line (e,g, screen plays, outside sweeps, outside RPO, etc.). Our idiotic OC runs straight up the middle over and over again with a terrible O-line and Tennessee's incredibly good D-line ---Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! He also has the QB stay in the a pocket to throw when our terrible O-line can't make a pocket. Stupid !!!
Not a single OU player was slipping, cause they were wearing spikes. A lot of Tennessee players were wearing turf style cleats, get a better equipment staff.
Good show. 👍I said before the game TN defensive line would be the game changer and i have a feeling they're going to make more qbs have bad games too. Just because Arnold didnt overcome relentless pressure doesn't make him a bad qb. Hawkins played against prevent the whole 4th qtr . GB 🍊
Great coaching by Josh. Stayed with the ground game because o line was depleted had 3rd string at tackle. No need to take any chances getting our qb hurt by the pass rush. That's just good coaching.
That’s what happens when you’re down 3.5 lineman. Shoot, vol’s lost their RT or left can’t remember and our de forced a fumble right after. Y’all got revenge for the baker game that’s for sure
One aspect people may forget is the physical nature of that game. It's the kind of physical game that could impact the schedule of both teams for the next month.....at least.
UT offensive line injuries will be our limiting factor. Lance Heard being out vs OK was actually a huge reason Nico even got pressured and those fumbles happened, plus several other major hurries. Not to mention run game would have been better, likely meaning less punts in the 3rd and 4th and more scoring without having to push the offense as much. Kinda wish it was a 14+pt win, 10 doesn't quite feel right like you said
I think that we are judging Oklahoma’s quarterback play unfairly. I understand that they kinda failed the eye test, but I also think that they were young players going up against the best defensive unit they will see all year. Maybe in their entire careers. Too early to tell either way. Sports media has a job to do and that is mostly about earning views. Let’s look back in a few weeks and judge.
That Tennessee defense reminds me of the one they had in 1998 when they went 13-0 and won the national championship in the first ever BCS National Championship Game by shutting down Florida State.
@@motherteresa9127 Look, it's a lot harder to win a title now than it was then, with the expanded payoff. There's gonna be about 8 teams capable of winning it all and only one of them can win the title in any given year. Just in the SEC alone there's Tennessee, Texas, Alabama and Georgia. Miami is looking like the real deal, assuming Cristobal doesn't eff things up by not taking a knee -- and no, he's never gonna live that one down. In the B1G, there's of course Oregon, and with their new OC Penn State actually has a complete team now and their defense was championship caliber already. Michigan wasn't going anywhere with "Turnover Machine" Warren at QB but now that they've yanked him for Orji, they have a championship caliber running game and defense. All they need is for Orji to become 2003 Ell Roberson -- pass for 132 a game instead of 32 -- and they're a legit threat again. And in the B12, Be White U looked like the real deal on Saturday, and if Cam Rising ever gets healthy Utah has the same thing Michigan won with last year -- stout defense, elite running game and a veteran QB who makes the plays needed to win. So I'm not saying UT will win the title. Too many real teams with chances to pick any one team and say for sure it's their year. Just saying UT resembles that team that did win it all.
One observation if you’re an OU fan, in 2020 UGA finished the season (and started 2021) thinking JT Daniel’s was “their guy” only for the football gods to gift them Stetson Bennett. Rally behind Hawkins no matter what, don’t do him like UGA’s toxic fans did Stetson.
both teams had injuries. tn had 2 OL out. and ou had some out idk who. but i think the game was closer feeling if your a tn fan. if not a tn fan maybe not worried about tn losing. both teams were really nervous. it seemed.
@@1stoferpeople like you would always make excuses about an opposing defense when you think you can't be touched. Our defense caused 3 straight 3 and outs in the beginning of game with this so called different offense your talking about.
Understand that this team has been built the right way by coach Heupel and staff. When he took over they had barely 60 scholarship players suiting up his first season after Pruitt was fired and the mass exodus of players. What he is doing at Tennessee is special and for us fans the most important part is that it will be sustainable. The culture there is the best it has ever been as well.
TN deserves all the praise you gave them. I do think you could have recognized OU's defense more though. They were the best unit on the field last night on both teams. OU's defense is elite.
They were playing awesome taking nothing away from that but Tennessee’s defense was better. Oklahoma’s defense kept them in the game but Tennessee’s defense made it so it wasn’t a game for more than a quarter
Oklahoma showed teams that Tennessee has to have success running the ball to light up the scoreboard with explosive plays. Their run game goes hand in hand with their passing game. You have to arleast slow down their run and give them enough problems to cause them to take longer between snaps.
looks like Oklahoma going 0-2 in the first two years against Tennessee before the schedule change. the games at Norman your SUPPOSED to win as the next year it’s flipped to away.
I think we watched a defensive masterclass from both teams. I think UT has the better players and OK has the defensive genius Venables. Im happy to get the W on the road, at night in the SEC, but I believe once OK gets the QB situation figured out they will be fine. GBO🍊🍊
Can’t stress enough Oklahoma fans were awesome!!!! They game was so slowly played it didn’t seem like Tennessee was doing much but watching the highlights Tennessee actually did well . No disrespect to Oklahoma football team but Tennessee’s defense knocked out ( of the game ) at least three players for Oklahoma’s offense ( just hard hits not cheap ). Not sure Tennessee is a top 5 team but should make the playoffs. Oklahoma’s hate for Texas runs deep . Oklahoma is a class program. Missouri is classless.
I don't think at 7:30 you can look at the quarterback situation and say just about any team could have done what Tennessee did to Oklahoma because Oklahoma is a 3-1 team right now. 3 other teams have had the chance and failed.
OU has the best D of all the 7 win teams, so keep your heads up. Now unfortunately, you are gonna have to clean that cow pasture up or we are gonna have to ship you back to the MAC 10 or whatever conference you are used to winning.
Wear the proper cleats next time. A lot of Tennessee players were wearing turf style cleats, OU was wearing spikes and not a single OU player was slipping. Fire your equipment staff.
This game was closer than it looked not a blowout. It wasn't over until the 2 point conversion failed. OU had 3 timeouts and had been stopping Tennessee's offense all night. If they convert the 2 point conversion they could've kicked deep and been one stop away from getting the ball back with 1 minute left and a chance to tie. Tennessee couldn't run against OU despite a light box and was under pressure every time they threw the ball. That's why Heupel burned clock and went conservative.
When Josh took over for Tennessee, we were in the midst of an NCAA investigation and this might be the first year he's had a full roster... that should really scare people.
I thought Tennessee played mediocre. OU’s defense was on the field all day and clamped down on that high powered offense. 2 turnovers forced in the first half with zero points from it.
Tenn played awesome their defense stats are impressive go look them up and we have a freshman QB Oklahoma has good D but awful offensive group at least that QB who came.looked tough and was decent for relief!!!
Statements like this make me cringe. Ou's defense was on the field all day!!! You can't say a team played mediocre if they had the opposing defense on the field all day 🤦🏽♂️.
WE CANNOT HANG OUR HAT ON THIS "ONE" GAME & GET COMPLACENT..... HELL OF A SCHEDULE STILL LEFT... LIKE HEUP SAID "OUR BEST IS STILL OUT IN FRONT OF US" BUT WE GOTTA SHOW UP & KEEP PREPARING & BELIEVING AND BEING HUNGRY!
It's not about running up the score. It's about guaranteeing a win. Josh could have called more drop back plays and tried to pull the trigger downfield, but that would have run more risk of turnovers that could have gotten Oklahoma back in the game, in a game where they already had two turnovers within their own 35 yard line. Josh played a different kind of game and won a different way because that was the best recipe to beat OU. As an Oklahoma fan, I've seen the Heupel offense run without consideration of game situation and match up. Jeff Lebby ran tempo all day every day. We could be up three touchdowns in the 4th quarter (like Tennessee was in Norman), and Lebby would keep the tempo up and give teams chances to get back in the game. The maturity is knowing when to mix things up and change your game plan, and that's what Heupel did.
Everyone ragging OK's arse about there offense struggling. Well I want to see how you do against our 12 man rotation on D-line. Yeah you might already know about that but we also have 2 NFL type Linebackers and our secondary is very athletic and playing with a huge chip on their shoulders! I know there are a few teams out there In the ncaa that can definitely play with us. But there is only like 2 outside of the SEC ! This is definitely the most depth the conference has ever had. It's tough af so don't take my confidence in my VOLS the wrong way. Whoever wins the SEC this year has definitely got it to do! Next up Rkansas!
OU Fan: Heupel got done dirty by Stoops and OU… happy to see him come back and handle getting a win with class. It’s a part of Stoop’s/OU’s history I have a big problem with
If Stoops doesn’t accept a penalty during a punt in bedlam Heupel is never the scapegoat and is probably OU’s HC. Stoops decided to re-punt to TYREEK F-ING HILL and the rest is history.
Stoops also decided to implement a mobile QB after watching Kaepernick have success. Heupel was forced to play a style he wasn’t fond of and Trevor knight would never be his choice at QB
This is a bad take Pate. The complimentary football part is right but you started the segment by saying the game was decided in the first quarter. That is completely wrong. OU D held a high powered offense that was averaging like 50-60 points a game to 25 points. They did that with a terrible offense who couldn’t take advantage of what the OU defense was giving them. 10-14 points were left off the board when OU got the ball on the 5 yard line and around the 30 yard line. That’s your 10-14 pints that would have either tied the game or win it. Not to mention the lucky offsides with contact play at the start of the game where OU would have had a free play result in a TD. I am not trying to play the shoulda woulda coulda stuff. But complimentary football is very important to help stats on the other side of the football. If the offense was opportunistic and actually could sustain more than 2 good drives the entire game, Tennessee would have been easily held to 200-250 yards. The biggest glaring issue was unfortunately Jackson Arnold. Turnovers aside, the dude makes dumb decisions. He has bad tunnel vision. Throws to his first reads. Hands the ball off when he should tuck it and run or throw. Tucks it when he should give it to his running back. And throws a ball into triple coverage, where another receiver would literally need to make 1 skill move after the catch to go all the way. First play of the game he is indecisive and the play results in negative yards. That loss is almost completely attributed to poor QB play. Sure the line didn’t help much, but if we start Hawkins in that game, I am pretty confident we would have won or at the very least cover the spread. I’m extremely proud of the defense as they could only do so much as they are getting tired.
Yet Tennessee had 350 yards of offense and held the ball for 35 minutes..oh and played with out 2 starting tackles for most of the game. OU is gonna be 8-4 at best this year, and if they are luck they might get to play in a pointless bowl game 😂😂😂😂😂 GO VOLS
@knoxvilledoobie8549 Overall the Vols were the better team, obviously. But once again, OU's defense is just straight up better than Tennessee's offense right now. Also, if you want to play the injury game, OU's defense was missing 2 starters and another player that would be getting a ton of snaps if he was healthy.
@Mcyoloswaggy69 oklahoma has a good defense..J.H showed a lot of respect for oklahoma by pumping the brakes in the second half.. Make no mistake.There were opportunities for tennessee to score a couple more touchdowns. We ran the ball 50 plus times.. i think we only attempted 6 passes in the second half..Tennessee typically is a balance offense. We still had one hundred and 150 rushing.
Hawkins isn't saving OU. OU has a terrible O line and they don't have any offensive weapons from RB, TE or WR. They aren't good enough for him to change the season with better QB play.
Tennessee has some things to fix. They will see much better offenses. Teams will use this game as a blueprint just like teams will use the USF blitz problems it caused Bama. These coordinators get paid a lot of money to figure things out.
Nico handing Josh that game ball was better than seeing him throw for 300 and 3TDs on Oklahoma. Him, Samp, Pili, and McCoy are wired right and this entire team had bought in behind them
194 yards and 1TD, but Josh definitely deserved the game ball. He looked at the situation and said, "We have to play conservative, take what we can get, and run the clock where OU doesn't have time to figure something out on offense." The fastest offense in college football ran slow, and I don't think that was just because of how loud that first half was. Heupel understands that tempo is a tactic, not a strategy, and he changed his tactics to fit the battle he was fighting. I've been rooting for the Vols ever since Josh got there, and it's great to see how he's built a great culture and a team that can win multiple ways.
I'm proud of OU's defense for holding the Vols to 2 touchdowns and 345 yards while the OU offense gave the Vols three turnovers. I doubt the Vols will see many games with only that much production, and I hope that leads them to an SEC championship (which looks more attainable this year than in a long time).

@@TrentNumbers it’s hard to feel any pain for a gator fan. Even when beat you it still doesn’t matter, via 2001 l. We beat FL and it still cost us a chance at NC. That being said, the game against Florida scares me just as much as the AL or GA. I’ll give you credit, you did give us our credit you understand the game and know that this is real team.
This game was never really close. The final score does not dictate this game at all. It was a blowout. Heupel realized poor field conditions on the road, got a nice lead, and put it in cruise control. Smart coached game, hell of a win.
Thought OUs defense played well for how much they were on the field. That’s the reason it wasn’t a blowout
Blowout? I really don’t think so. Heupel changed his game plan but Nico getting pressured and turning the ball over had a lot to do with that too. It could’ve gone bad for a young QB on the road
The fact that Vandy and Florida have the same odds to win the SEC is mind blowing.
Good to see Vandy be a contender for once 😂
@@Foggydidwhatthey lost to Georgia State but that is acceptable for Vandy
@@dewainprichard6316 Vandy almost beat Mizzou in double OT, Vandy could've won that game.
@@cgnbarbossa7125, yep Vandy totally blew that game in overtime.
@@Foggydidwhatagreed
As a fan, in the NIL era it's great to see a team like TN be quite professionals. The team plays like a family and is coached well to focus on a nameless opponent and to just get better as a unit. They seem to take pride in their university's history of defense, as well as their coaches. Apparently "Bobby from King of the hill" is playing chess with an inner fire that has spread to his team.
From a Sooners die hard;
I think Heupel actually held back from running the score up, because they definitely had the ability but he just played for slight lead and time management.
Our defense is elite but the backfield was susceptible to the deep pass.
I disagree. I think we were whipping their offense in their normal stuff, turned it over twice, and had no reason to risk it with how inept our offense was. You look at that first half 2 plays is what they had no sustained drives
Heupel didn't have to try to run it up. He knew OUs offense couldn't move the ball, he had a 3 score lead that he was never afraid of losing. Run the ball and the clock and get out of there. No sense in taking chances and giving OUs defense a chance to spark life.
Totally agree, Heup has too much respect for the program to do to them what UT is capable of...
I love the announcer during the game calling out the fake injury of that oklahoma player
And also the poor condition of the field
Wasn't fake bro, it was fucking 93 at 6:30 still, cramps. He had them again later on, happens. 🤦
That was Kirk Herbstreet calling out flops and he’s not a Tennessee nor SEC homer. He’s a buck-eyed homer.
@@dustinnewton8701 100% faked. Early in the game as well.
he faked it we all know it
Your graphic is wrong on game stats. Tennessee had 2 turnovers not 0.
I'm a lifelong OU fan. Unreal to see our offense like this. The 2 forced fumbles gave us real opportunities, and we literally fumbled it right back the first play we had it both times. O-line is a disaster, receiving TD leader from last year is injured, 5-star QB is a bust, and our OC is pathetic. Sucks 🤦🏻♂️
If you had Had Dylan Gabriel you'd had a CHANCE. A CHANCE but you didn't
Fire VENABLES
@dondon98
Why? He was brought in to make OU a defensive juggernaut, and he has succeeded at that. Now just needs to figure out the offense and OU will be dominant with BV at the lead!
As a lifelong OU fan myself, I agree with you 100%. Fortunately, we have Hawkins --who proved himself to be a great QB. Our O-line and OC are terrible. With a good OC we could overcome some of the O-line shortcomings (e.g. outside sweeps, screen plays, etc.). Hit the road Jack(son), and don't come back. Boomer!
@@dondon98his defense is fantastic. if OU is firing anyone it’s Litrell and JJF.
Im a Georgia fan and i thought Tennessee would win because they are better than Oklahona right now. This game played out that way. Congrats, Vols.
Tennessee whooped us, hats off. But you completely missed that OUs defense is legit. OU “forced” multiple turnovers and largely held one of the best offenses in check. Too bad our offense stinks.
Acknowledging how well OU's defense was as shutting down Tennessee takes away from his "biggest 10 point blow-out you'll ever see" narrative.
I’m not sure how good Oklahoma’s defense is because the field was absolute trash. Who knows how it would’ve played out if the Vols offensive players weren’t slipping and sliding all over the place. It seemed that Oklahoma players had the right cleats, the Vols obviously did not.
@@mikerichardson3918 That's on Tennessee's equipment manager. Field was fine.
Their D line looked great but it is hard to tell with how bad our oline, qb and rbs are. So much incompetence on OUs offense
This was a stomping by the Vols. People who are hating don't know football. The score got close at the end, but after Tennessee's first TD it was over
I despise this concept. Anyone who's ever played at a competitive level in football knows you play until the last whistle. The game doesn't end after 3 quarters.
It was a “stomping” because OU has a high school offense. Their defense held up very well.
This was one of the best breakdown videos I’ve ever seen. Smooth and articulate. Go damn Vols
Surgical precision.
Damn did everyone give Houston’s defense this much props when they shut down OU’s offense?😂
UT has done it for 5 games.
251 - 21 points
Defense has given up 1 TD
That's the difference!
OU welcome to the SEC

And yall's defense still hasnt played anybody. They might be stellar, but shutting down OU doesnt prove it. Our offense sucks a**
@@darrenfrazier905 this is what's known as the "volunteers paradox". We could grab a natty this year and people would still say "y'all didn't play anybody". Tennesee ONLY gets credit for having a good team when the NEXT season is starting.

Congrats to the Vols! Tennessee deserves all the credit for a great win. I don't want to take anything away from that.
Even if Josh can't see it, Oklahoma is actually in a pretty good place because of what Brent Venables has built with Oklahoma's defense. OU fans should not be down. Yes, that offense was atrocious, perhaps the worst this century. But I think it's clear to see that Oklahoma is going to have a national championship caliber defense going forward. I don't think OU is as far off as Josh makes it seem.
@@Foggydidwhat I'll give that. Tennessee has one of the best fight songs out there.
Surprised at how bad their field was. That was the worst "dry" field I can remember seeing our team play on. OK, use some of that SEC money and upgrade your field.
Tennessee had two back up tackles, and could not protect Nico against the Sooners pressure. Therefore to protect Nico from turning the ball over and giving OU defensive a chance of possibly scoring on defense they took the air out of the ball and ran the ball. Plus Heupel new that a backup qb wasn't going to trouble his defense.
This.
One 2nd & 3rd string tackle. That's one reason of the play calling.
Man I’m a lifelong Vols fan, and God knows that sometimes it’s been hard lol, but I’m very glad that we’ve got a guy like Josh Heupel coaching for us. He’s really turned this program around and put Tennessee back where we belong as a ranked contender. Nothing but love and respect for Heup. 🙏
I don't think all of us Tennessee fans think alike, I've been a fan my entire life and I'm almost 63. I think Coach Josh Heupel is a very good and resilience coach that paid more than his dues. I teared up when I heard his mom passed aways, his father is so respected in knoxville: They brought up this fine young man, we are blessed beyond measure to have Coach Heupel as our coach. We are the luckiest fan base to have such a humble man that treats everyone with so much respect, you can see how much he loves each one of them players. If you ever been to Knoxville, Tennessee UT campus: How many coaches do you see giving a player a fist bump in between classes in the hallway and making sure asking that person if they are doing ok? I'm happy Tennessee and Coach Heup did not run up the score on Oklahoma because it shows Tennessee can beat you in different ways. You want to talk about adversity: The Oklahoma game, beating this team at home by 10 was nothing compared to what he was dealing with even before this game was slated yet, he still won. How about when everyone doubted him when he told everyone Tennessee was going to play elite defense, they did that too, right? I knew from when we got AD Danny White, his choice of hire was Coach Josh Heupel, I heard a lot of doubt because he was coaching UCF but, look at where he put UCF. I was so excited when Danny White said Coach Josh Heupel's name, I was telling other fans: Please give him a chance, We Volunteer fans sometimes don't understand how blessed we are to have Coach Josh Heupel as our coach, beyond measures! GBO!!!! 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🏈❤

Yeah I got a little emotional myself. Those boys laid it all out for coach!
@@vincentmcclain579no doubt
I admit that the OU quarterback play has not been to the level that OU is used to but this is an offensive line issue more than a quarterback issue. We hope Jackson Arnold will continue in a line of unbelievable quarterback play. But all those past quarterback greats will admit that their offensive line allowed them to be great. This is still of game of inches and trenches.
Jackson Arnold hasn't impressed (last year, bowl game, spring game, this season). Hit the road Jack(son), and don't come back. The OC and O-line are terrible. A good OC would mitigate a bad O-line (e,g, screen plays, outside sweeps, outside RPO, etc.). Our idiotic OC runs straight up the middle over and over again with a terrible O-line and Tennessee's incredibly good D-line ---Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! He also has the QB stay in the a pocket to throw when our terrible O-line can't make a pocket. Stupid !!!
Tennessee had 10 penalties for -82 yards. Gotta clean those up. Plus the field was poorly maintained. Players slipping everywhere
A couple of those were SEC zebras running interference. They did it to the Vols all last season
@@IIISWILIII Exactly I was screaming at them, if i was at teh stadium I'd thrown my drinks at them every chance i got!

Starting group is solid. Still need depth. Saturday showed what happens when 1 guy (then 2) goes out.

Good show. 👍I said before the game TN defensive line would be the game changer and i have a feeling they're going to make more qbs have bad games too. Just because Arnold didnt overcome relentless pressure doesn't make him a bad qb. Hawkins played against prevent the whole 4th qtr . GB 🍊

@@deathgrinderb3284 talking about football specifically
Great coaching by Josh. Stayed with the ground game because o line was depleted had 3rd string at tackle. No need to take any chances getting our qb hurt by the pass rush. That's just good coaching.
In Arnold’s defense, our D-line lived in the backfield and harassed him like a bad neighbor
That’s what happens when you’re down 3.5 lineman. Shoot, vol’s lost their RT or left can’t remember and our de forced a fumble right after. Y’all got revenge for the baker game that’s for sure

I'm happy we got the W and 0 key injuries but the Penalties need cleaning up! GBO!!!
Excellent presentation sir. I always look for you on RUclips.
The O line is a disaster and it doesn't appear a fix is coming. Expecting a really rough year.
Tenesse 6/19 on 3rd down/4th down.. yeah that elite
One aspect people may forget is the physical nature of that game. It's the kind of physical game that could impact the schedule of both teams for the next month.....at least.
UT offensive line injuries will be our limiting factor. Lance Heard being out vs OK was actually a huge reason Nico even got pressured and those fumbles happened, plus several other major hurries. Not to mention run game would have been better, likely meaning less punts in the 3rd and 4th and more scoring without having to push the offense as much. Kinda wish it was a 14+pt win, 10 doesn't quite feel right like you said
Excellent analysis, great show. Subbed, liked etc. GBO!
I think that we are judging Oklahoma’s quarterback play unfairly. I understand that they kinda failed the eye test, but I also think that they were young players going up against the best defensive unit they will see all year. Maybe in their entire careers. Too early to tell either way. Sports media has a job to do and that is mostly about earning views. Let’s look back in a few weeks and judge.
Been a Tennessee fan since I could walk. I am so excited for the future
That Tennessee defense reminds me of the one they had in 1998 when they went 13-0 and won the national championship in the first ever BCS National Championship Game by shutting down Florida State.
OU struggled to score 16 on Houston.
@@oumaniac And they scored 3 on Tennessee while the game was still in doubt. Yes, OU's offense stinks, but that UT defense is the real deal.
@@dentonyoung4314 maybe yes or no, can't judge by the OU game. Again, that offense struggled to score on Houston.
Why are you bringing up 98'? Are you trying to jinx us? Settle down.
@@motherteresa9127 Look, it's a lot harder to win a title now than it was then, with the expanded payoff. There's gonna be about 8 teams capable of winning it all and only one of them can win the title in any given year. Just in the SEC alone there's Tennessee, Texas, Alabama and Georgia. Miami is looking like the real deal, assuming Cristobal doesn't eff things up by not taking a knee -- and no, he's never gonna live that one down. In the B1G, there's of course Oregon, and with their new OC Penn State actually has a complete team now and their defense was championship caliber already. Michigan wasn't going anywhere with "Turnover Machine" Warren at QB but now that they've yanked him for Orji, they have a championship caliber running game and defense. All they need is for Orji to become 2003 Ell Roberson -- pass for 132 a game instead of 32 -- and they're a legit threat again. And in the B12, Be White U looked like the real deal on Saturday, and if Cam Rising ever gets healthy Utah has the same thing Michigan won with last year -- stout defense, elite running game and a veteran QB who makes the plays needed to win.
So I'm not saying UT will win the title. Too many real teams with chances to pick any one team and say for sure it's their year. Just saying UT resembles that team that did win it all.
One observation if you’re an OU fan, in 2020 UGA finished the season (and started 2021) thinking JT Daniel’s was “their guy” only for the football gods to gift them Stetson Bennett. Rally behind Hawkins no matter what, don’t do him like UGA’s toxic fans did Stetson.
both teams had injuries. tn had 2 OL out. and ou had some out idk who. but i think the game was closer feeling if your a tn fan. if not a tn fan maybe not worried about tn losing. both teams were really nervous. it seemed.

@@1stofer Are you saying it was game-planned for Tennessee to feature their punter as much as they did?

As an OU fan, I needed the Sarah Mcloughlin segment today.
I don't think OU is in a bad place because of their QB. Their O-line was the problem.
Understand that this team has been built the right way by coach Heupel and staff. When he took over they had barely 60 scholarship players suiting up his first season after Pruitt was fired and the mass exodus of players. What he is doing at Tennessee is special and for us fans the most important part is that it will be sustainable. The culture there is the best it has ever been as well.
There was a good reason why Huepel had to hold back his offense and just run the ball. The OU defense was generating turnovers (most in CFB).
I have always said. Offense wins games, but Defense wins championships.
TN deserves all the praise you gave them. I do think you could have recognized OU's defense more though. They were the best unit on the field last night on both teams. OU's defense is elite.
Tennessee defense was better look at the stats just sayin
They were playing awesome taking nothing away from that but Tennessee’s defense was better. Oklahoma’s defense kept them in the game but Tennessee’s defense made it so it wasn’t a game for more than a quarter
@@tjhodge201 Tennessee's defense was 'better' because they played against an offense that doesn't even rank in the top 100.

@@tjhodge201buddy our offense is worse than my middle school team in a small town
Oklahoma showed teams that Tennessee has to have success running the ball to light up the scoreboard with explosive plays. Their run game goes hand in hand with their passing game. You have to arleast slow down their run and give them enough problems to cause them to take longer between snaps.
looks like Oklahoma going 0-2 in the first two years against Tennessee before the schedule change. the games at Norman your SUPPOSED to win as the next year it’s flipped to away.
Naw we win next year, simmer down!
huh? Next year is next year hillbilly.
Lmao
Lost to Ohio state and nd at home went on the road the year after smoked both of em.
I think we watched a defensive masterclass from both teams. I think UT has the better players and OK has the defensive genius Venables. Im happy to get the W on the road, at night in the SEC, but I believe once OK gets the QB situation figured out they will be fine. GBO🍊🍊
Can’t stress enough Oklahoma fans were awesome!!!! They game was so slowly played it didn’t seem like Tennessee was doing much but watching the highlights Tennessee actually did well . No disrespect to Oklahoma football team but Tennessee’s defense knocked out ( of the game ) at least three players for Oklahoma’s offense ( just hard hits not cheap ). Not sure Tennessee is a top 5 team but should make the playoffs. Oklahoma’s hate for Texas runs deep . Oklahoma is a class program. Missouri is classless.
If Coach Heup’s post game locker room speech to his men isn’t Pate State Material, then nothing is. GBO 🍊🏈
I don't think at 7:30 you can look at the quarterback situation and say just about any team could have done what Tennessee did to Oklahoma because Oklahoma is a 3-1 team right now. 3 other teams have had the chance and failed.
GBO! 🍊
OU has the best D of all the 7 win teams, so keep your heads up. Now unfortunately, you are gonna have to clean that cow pasture up or we are gonna have to ship you back to the MAC 10 or whatever conference you are used to winning.

@@michaelbardis says the guy thats wondering why half his team is crippled right now 😂😂😂🤣
the absolute worth roughing the passer call ive ever seen later in this game
This game was closer than it looked not a blowout. It wasn't over until the 2 point conversion failed. OU had 3 timeouts and had been stopping Tennessee's offense all night. If they convert the 2 point conversion they could've kicked deep and been one stop away from getting the ball back with 1 minute left and a chance to tie. Tennessee couldn't run against OU despite a light box and was under pressure every time they threw the ball. That's why Heupel burned clock and went conservative.
That Sarah McLaughlin transition was smooth as hell 😂
When Josh took over for Tennessee, we were in the midst of an NCAA investigation and this might be the first year he's had a full roster... that should really scare people.
Dude the Sarah McLachlan music over Tennessee kickin the shit out of Oklahoma has me DYING 😂😂

We love our coach this one was very much for him . Next team up 1-0
I remember a man who praised Jackson Arnold for 2 and we all told you to pump your breaks and gave you reasons why
Imagine showing this Oklahoma offense state to an OU fan back in 2018 and 2019.
UT showed areas of concern. OK showed areas of major concern.
Josh Heupel's offense is far more complicated than anyone thinks... it's almost like he a professional college football coach.
Dillon Gabriel was gone as soon as Jeff Lebby took the Mississippi State job. The narrative that OU chose Jackson over DG is overblown.
I thought Tennessee played mediocre. OU’s defense was on the field all day and clamped down on that high powered offense. 2 turnovers forced in the first half with zero points from it.
Clamped down? lol UT played conservative to win the game
Tenn played awesome their defense stats are impressive go look them up and we have a freshman QB Oklahoma has good D but awful offensive group at least that QB who came.looked tough and was decent for relief!!!
Statements like this make me cringe. Ou's defense was on the field all day!!! You can't say a team played mediocre if they had the opposing defense on the field all day 🤦🏽♂️.
Tennessee beat them by 10 minutes in time of possession
WE CANNOT HANG OUR HAT ON THIS "ONE" GAME & GET COMPLACENT..... HELL OF A SCHEDULE STILL LEFT... LIKE HEUP SAID "OUR BEST IS STILL OUT IN FRONT OF US" BUT WE GOTTA SHOW UP & KEEP PREPARING & BELIEVING AND BEING HUNGRY!
Is Tennessee defense that good?? Be honest? Ou offense is so bad it’s hard to say if Tennessee defense is that good
Vols now have given out 2 Sarah McLachlan this season. That's a nice stat to add to their resume
I don't buy the "less mature coach" when the week before they ran up the scoreboard on a nobody school
It's not about running up the score. It's about guaranteeing a win. Josh could have called more drop back plays and tried to pull the trigger downfield, but that would have run more risk of turnovers that could have gotten Oklahoma back in the game, in a game where they already had two turnovers within their own 35 yard line. Josh played a different kind of game and won a different way because that was the best recipe to beat OU.
As an Oklahoma fan, I've seen the Heupel offense run without consideration of game situation and match up. Jeff Lebby ran tempo all day every day. We could be up three touchdowns in the 4th quarter (like Tennessee was in Norman), and Lebby would keep the tempo up and give teams chances to get back in the game. The maturity is knowing when to mix things up and change your game plan, and that's what Heupel did.
It's Great to Be A Tennessee VOL!!!
Everyone ragging OK's arse about there offense struggling. Well I want to see how you do against our 12 man rotation on D-line. Yeah you might already know about that but we also have 2 NFL type Linebackers and our secondary is very athletic and playing with a huge chip on their shoulders! I know there are a few teams out there In the ncaa that can definitely play with us. But there is only like 2 outside of the SEC ! This is definitely the most depth the conference has ever had. It's tough af so don't take my confidence in my VOLS the wrong way. Whoever wins the SEC this year has definitely got it to do! Next up Rkansas!
Everyone trying to blame the field but Tennessee should’ve been more prepared with their cleats, OU didn’t have a problem with slipping
You were there and you didn’t see the 2 Tennessee TOs your graphic showed Tennessee 0.
OU Fan:
Heupel got done dirty by Stoops and OU… happy to see him come back and handle getting a win with class. It’s a part of Stoop’s/OU’s history I have a big problem with
If Stoops doesn’t accept a penalty during a punt in bedlam Heupel is never the scapegoat and is probably OU’s HC. Stoops decided to re-punt to TYREEK F-ING HILL and the rest is history.
Stoops also decided to implement a mobile QB after watching Kaepernick have success. Heupel was forced to play a style he wasn’t fond of and Trevor knight would never be his choice at QB
This is a bad take Pate. The complimentary football part is right but you started the segment by saying the game was decided in the first quarter. That is completely wrong. OU D held a high powered offense that was averaging like 50-60 points a game to 25 points. They did that with a terrible offense who couldn’t take advantage of what the OU defense was giving them. 10-14 points were left off the board when OU got the ball on the 5 yard line and around the 30 yard line. That’s your 10-14 pints that would have either tied the game or win it. Not to mention the lucky offsides with contact play at the start of the game where OU would have had a free play result in a TD. I am not trying to play the shoulda woulda coulda stuff. But complimentary football is very important to help stats on the other side of the football. If the offense was opportunistic and actually could sustain more than 2 good drives the entire game, Tennessee would have been easily held to 200-250 yards. The biggest glaring issue was unfortunately Jackson Arnold. Turnovers aside, the dude makes dumb decisions. He has bad tunnel vision. Throws to his first reads. Hands the ball off when he should tuck it and run or throw. Tucks it when he should give it to his running back. And throws a ball into triple coverage, where another receiver would literally need to make 1 skill move after the catch to go all the way. First play of the game he is indecisive and the play results in negative yards. That loss is almost completely attributed to poor QB play. Sure the line didn’t help much, but if we start Hawkins in that game, I am pretty confident we would have won or at the very least cover the spread. I’m extremely proud of the defense as they could only do so much as they are getting tired.
Make no mistake, the best unit on the field last night was OU's defense. I feel like Josh neglected to talk about that fact.
Yet Tennessee had 350 yards of offense and held the ball for 35 minutes..oh and played with out 2 starting tackles for most of the game. OU is gonna be 8-4 at best this year, and if they are luck they might get to play in a pointless bowl game 😂😂😂😂😂 GO VOLS
OU Got out played and most importantly out coached..😂😂😂.. GO VOLS
@knoxvilledoobie8549 Overall the Vols were the better team, obviously. But once again, OU's defense is just straight up better than Tennessee's offense right now. Also, if you want to play the injury game, OU's defense was missing 2 starters and another player that would be getting a ton of snaps if he was healthy.
@Mcyoloswaggy69 oklahoma has a good defense..J.H showed a lot of respect for oklahoma by pumping the brakes in the second half.. Make no mistake.There were opportunities for tennessee to score a couple more touchdowns. We ran the ball 50 plus times.. i think we only attempted 6 passes in the second half..Tennessee typically is a balance offense. We still had one hundred and 150 rushing.
@@knoxvilledoobie8549lol right we could’ve aired it out. We just didn’t want any unnecessary injuries as we enter SEC play.

Hawkins isn't saving OU. OU has a terrible O line and they don't have any offensive weapons from RB, TE or WR. They aren't good enough for him to change the season with better QB play.
Could you fix the graphic? OU's defense is much better than what you give them credit for.
Tennessee has some things to fix. They will see much better offenses. Teams will use this game as a blueprint just like teams will use the USF blitz problems it caused Bama. These coordinators get paid a lot of money to figure things out.
