Yeah I'm worried about UGA and Texas because how good is the SEC actually if the Vols got 10 wins running the exact same plays for 3 years in a row, or is OSUs scouting department really really good? I'm so confused.
@@travisshuttleworth630 no I think the original post was just completely wrong. TN has dozens upon dozens of plays they can run out of every combination of formations and motions. Impossible to know what plays they’re going to run especially with QBs have headsets inside the helmets now.

I would be shocked if that wasn't the case with Tennessee and any other team they're going to face in the CFP.

We were not conditioned for this game. I was at the game. Our players were gassed in the first quarter. Seems like they got a couple weeks off and decided to just let the players rest while the other team was still working off a painful loss. Also, something I noticed was a lot of coughing. I could be wrong but it seemed like players were sick. Nico and the Olineman were coughing, limping, all kinds of stuff. But regardless, we got our 💩 pushed in. Being there was Hell as a TN fan. We had like 3 moments of excitement the entire game. The rest was just Ohio state fans rubbing it in 😂
Before watching this video I thought Tennessee looked completely outmatched, but yall have convinced me that Tennessee was actually equally as good and would have really for real won the game if it was in Neyland Stadium, thank you for pulling the wool away from my eyes, I feel like I can see again, god bless!
Ahhahahahhaahha 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅 you lost by 25 points and osu put backups in with 10 min left!!! You got a late garbage time 7 points so it was almost a 32 point loss!
The truth: Golesh was the reason for our offensive success. Tim Banks isn’t a great defensive coach, he just had decent players that masked his deficiencies. But he didn’t call the right games. OSU outcoached us, they knew what we were gonna do. Closer game at Neyland.. Because the fans traveled the noise really wasn’t a big factor at the Shoe.
The sec is better than that, Alabama, Georgia,ole miss,south Carolina,Texas.. Tennessee was poorly prepared and with the talent they do have could've played better maybe still lose by 10 Points at most!!! Glory to Georgia!!!!@@fodetoure1576
I’m a life long Buckeye fan and the game was as much of a surprise to me as it was to you. We all love college football because of how unpredictable it is. This one was great for us and tough for you but just three weeks ago we were as surprised and stunned as you when Wolverines pulled upset and our coaches looked like idiots. I’m not saying that luck determines the outcomes. I’m only say that football is an amazingly complex game in which a mistake by one man can negate perfect execution by the other ten and the wheels can fall off a good team with surprising ease. As a fan it is the opposite, all we can do is root and support the team we love and your fans turned up did that well.
I was at the game and can remember screaming "throw it" multiple times...i know I seen 1 play where he had a touchdown but didn't let go of it ...the game was a blur because there was so much shit going on around me I couldn't concentrate on the game, the osu fans are horrible
O-line has killed us.... rather Nico all Year. I didn't complain about it as much as I wanted to earlier in the season due to respect for Cooper. Also our Offense is ridiculous, run up the middle or a toss to the edge.... middle of the field is non existent
This is the recap I've been waiting on. I'm commenting a few minutes into watching but I hope y'all discuss how predictable this offense is and the comments from Ohio state defensive players talking about how they knew everything we were gonna do bc we haven't really changed since 2021. I'm not on the fire everyone train but it is concerning bc it kinda parallels some previous coaches we've had that's been too stubborn to change. Go Vols and Merry Christmas guys!
Losing to OSU was acceptable, of course. First 12 team playoff game, big stakes, against the most loaded team in the country. Losing the way we did was absolutely unacceptable, In every facet of the game.......... 10 minutes out of 60 were competitive. Every single problem that we saw during the regular season got put under a microscope on National TV. I don't know if we would have won against OSU at Neyland, even playing a good game. How many down to the wire close games did we win this year there? Ironically, the best game we played this year was against Vandy. What I'm trying to say is that Heupel is a totally different coach on the road vs home. Extremely different. And that needs to change Also, I watched nearly every OSU game this year, you are right Reed, they never played this physically tough all season. They got ready for us and beat us at our own game
I drove from Baton Rouge to go support my Vols. I was really disappointed by the effort from coaches and players but glad I got to see the first playoff game for UT and a trip to the Shoe.
Reed I agree it isn’t Golesh offense. I do think Golesh runs circles around Halzey. I think Golesh attitude was cut throat and he ran more wrinkles. If it is not having the dogs then we have to agree that Pruett was a great recruiter and evaluator of talent.
People need to remember that just 4 years ago we were 2 - 8 with that being said the only thing that concerns me with this coaching staff is never doing halftime or in-game adjustments and like a previous comment said in this game there's never any wrinkles in the offense and apparently it's been the exact same since 2021 and has been slowed down the last 2 years because everybody knows exactly what's coming. I don't know if Heupel needs to hire a new offensive coordinator and just bring in a whole new offense but something definitely needs to change to win big games
Yet they had good offenses. You’re being blinded by a heisman caliber QB and receiver. Defenses adjust. They’ll stop that offense at all costs. Heupel adjusted based on their adjustments, and STILL there’s atleast 3-4 deep balls schemed wide open a game. We just haven’t hit them. We know the offense is “simple” and not “creative.” It wasn’t creative in 2022 either. The creativity of the offense isn’t based on play calls, it’s based on the actual set up of the offense. Thats how it has been the whole damn time. Watch the 2022 offense. Watch how many times we ran we screens and 5 yard hitches. Just because we actually hit on deep balls didn’t change the offense. Heupel knew what he had this year and adjusted to help our Heisman caliber RB and the defense was one of the best in the nation. Remember when people were saying that’s not possible with his offense? We lost in embarrassing fashion to OSU. But stop with this nonsense that is just flat out incorrect and an insult to your own intelligence.
@@appalachhaun_adventures You’re not understanding. The offense doesn’t function off of “creative” play calls. The offense works based on spacing and tempo. It’s a simple offense. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Put simply, you’re talking out of your behind. Because if you hate this offense, you hated the 2022 offense. You don’t know football. That’s okay, but listen when someone is telling you that you’re not understanding something. Heupel has actually developed to an even better play caller based on his players available. We haven’t had Hyatt or Hooker. What we did in 2022 hasn’t been possible. We’ve seen deep balls missed all year. Hopefully Nico will get it together next year. But execution has been the issue. Not Heupel’s offense or play calling.
@@Tony-mr1iv maybe he needs to add in creative play calls here and there bro. That’d way I’m saying Geezus Christ lol 😂 🙄 if everything you do is the same 6 plays and nothing works……come up with something here or there to try and at least get that good matchup……do something different. U know just a couple plays here or there. Hell far. Not that hard to understand that bro. 😎
A lot of damage-controlled self-soothing on this podcast.The fact is ohio state has to much talent for tennessee and any other sec school. SABEN IS GONE .Now the sec is the 2nd best conference
@@Thethinker6141 It ain't over 'til it's over. Four of the last five champs were SEC and Bama was only one of them.. Michigan wins once and the Big 10 is the supreme conference in your dreams. Win it more than one year and talk your trash. Ohio State hasn't won in TEN years. The conference who has won the national championship only two times in the last ten years gets two home games. Good luck. No more home games.
I was listenin to Cainer and he said we blitzed 8 time all game...8 TIMES! Banks did the same thing in the uga game, its like hes scared to blitz against better teams and thats where we make hay on defense
The offense has been generic all season. Very boring. Absent of big plays against talented teams. Hazle is not even on the same planet as Golesh. He needs to go. He’s pathetic. The WR’s coach, Pope, needs to go. His WR’s aren’t physical and can’t get separation. OL coach, Elarbee, needs to go. His OL has sucked since he’s been there. Swiss cheese. The DL may be over rated as well. They rarely put a ton of pressure on a QB. Even against teams they had far more talent than. The secondary under Martinez has been horrible. He had a few good years at Georgia but aside from that when has he ever been a top tier secondary coach. Heupel is going to have to make some coaching changes and if he doesn’t, the Vols will forever be a 8 to 11 win team but never a national champion. The teams winning the national championship have top tier position coaches and are spending $20 mil plus to get the 5 star mercenaries needed to win it all.
The problem is Tennessee fans think they are anywhere close to Ohio State since they had that horrible game against Michigan. It was just a massive talent gap... Ohio State and Oregon would win this game 10/10 times unfortunately. Give it a year or two with Nico and recruiting then I think you guys will actually be in a good spot.
I have been concerned all year with our receivers not getting open. And it killed us. They exposed our linebackers constantly. But I agree with josh pate. Osu has probably the best roster and they finally showed up. I love being a vols fan though. Went to mizzou game at mizzou and vols fans took over a restaurant and sang "it's good to be a tennessee vol" over an̈d over on campus. Can't wait for our young guys to keep developing and to see where the guys go in the draft
You guys changed my mind on receivers. Yeah I have to admit I spend a lot if time asking the same questions of Nico that I did of joe. Why aren't you throwing the ball? You had a dude breaking open. Why are you dancing?
Will Nico live up to the hype? I’m uncertain tbh. I mean I will say this. He showed a lot of heart in that game and maybe we will see more of that from him next year. Also, for every DJ U there’s a Jaden Daniels or Bo nix. Game slows down for different people at different times and for some like Milton or DJ it never does lol let’s be hopeful it slows down sooner rather than later for Nico though. Question for y’all: I know heupel is mostly calling the plays but do you ever think Hazley is too much like heupel as far seconding everything heupel does or wants to do? Feels like golesh was a different mind than Heupel which led to more brainstorming playcalling. Just curious only y’all’s thoughts. I do think y’all are right though. Nico has to throw more with anticipation rather than trying to be perfect or find a coverage bust of someone wide open. It is odd though that he can have someone wide open and not see them or miss them but try and thread a needle with 3 guys draped on a receiver.
Listen, you have a passionate fan base, but it’s no different than Ohio State’s. We were dejected after Michigan, and lots of our fans didn’t show. Tennessee fans were dejected during the 3rd quarter and every single one left early. It’s the same thing. Buckeye nation travels better than anyone, also. Dejection is a real thing tho.
There’s plenty of tape of Nico throwing to tight coverage. So why is he not throwing it when they’re obviously open??????? Our coaching??? Something telling him not to???? We see plenty of other QB’s let it rip when it’s tight coverage……
That pick he was totally face guarded should of been 28! Zip acc refs have a gift you must double nil money ever heard of jimmy haslam you could of had no jackson you were not winning that game let's keep it 100!
Nico was almost a 1 man team I think he ran for more yards than any player Tenn just didn't have a good night you will have those days it happens to every team OSU lost to ttun and no way should have but what can you do just look to next year GO BUCKS
With all these OSU fans on all these TN sites, I wonder if when they got smoked twice in the playoffs (31-0 against Clemson, 52 hung on by Bama), did those tiger and Bama fans go to their sites and talk smack? These luckeye fans act like it’s their first to win anything.
Have a good cry. UT fans were talkin trash on every Buckeye site for a few weeks before the game as well as on game day. UT fans are weak, cry baby, delusional, mollycoddled, overblown, overrated dipsticks... just like the rest of the SEC.

Thank for being gracious. Good luck in the tournament.
There’s no situation where Tennessee beats Ohio State
Yeah the mental gymnastics were... something.
OSU much better team-way better-TN D did not show up-Overmatched

Listen, you have a passionate fan base, but it’s no different than Ohio State’s. We were dejected after Michigan, and lots of our fans didn’t show. Tennessee fans were dejected during the 3rd quarter and every single one left early. It’s the same thing. Buckeye nation travels better than anyone, also. Dejection is a real thing tho.
There’s plenty of tape of Nico throwing to tight coverage. So why is he not throwing it when they’re obviously open??????? Our coaching??? Something telling him not to???? We see plenty of other QB’s let it rip when it’s tight coverage……
Name one player on the vols that would start on the buckeyes 🤔
Bums
Yall were out matched all the way around.
That pick he was totally face guarded should of been 28! Zip acc refs have a gift you must double nil money ever heard of jimmy haslam you could of had no jackson you were not winning that game let's keep it 100!
Kyler for offensive line coach 2025!
A few plays? The score could have easily been 49-7.
Nico was almost a 1 man team I think he ran for more yards than any player Tenn just didn't have a good night you will have those days it happens to every team OSU lost to ttun and no way should have but what can you do just look to next year GO BUCKS
Lol the fans showed up until they started to get destroyed!!!! And left middle of 3rd quarter!!!
With all these OSU fans on all these TN sites, I wonder if when they got smoked twice in the playoffs (31-0 against Clemson, 52 hung on by Bama), did those tiger and Bama fans go to their sites and talk smack? These luckeye fans act like it’s their first to win anything.
Have a good cry. UT fans were talkin trash on every Buckeye site for a few weeks before the game as well as on game day. UT fans are weak, cry baby, delusional, mollycoddled, overblown, overrated dipsticks... just like the rest of the SEC.
Nobody travels like ohio state watch rose you won't believe it they have 6 million fans
Why is there 2 of u talkn
24 of 29 is need be said about this game. Dline got no pressure on Moss and he ate us alive. There was no rerouting of WRs
