Nico went into Oklahoma as a redshirt freshman and beat OU. He made plays when they were there to be made and OU's defense did not make it easy on him. I was very impressed.

[@cidemssadab]

[@starvedrock314]

Harsh truth time: Venables has shown nothing to prove he's an improvement over Riley and if he weren't a former OU coach, Sooner fans would see that by now. Riley's defenses were never as bad as OU's offense is now, and the only time it was close was when he was stuck with Mike Stoops by Bob. Venables is wasting this defense because he was too blind to see that "JFA" can't read a college defense, and no amount of catchy nicknames by OU fans will change that. Now you're in year 3 having to stake all your hope on a true freshman 3* QB to salvage the season and make a bowl game. Yikes. And shoutout to all the delusional Sooners who kept insisting Arnold was the best QB in his class (despite no one ranking him higher than 3rd) because he won a camp that Arch and Nico skipped anyways. Bet you're all happy Venables pushed Gabriel out for... that. Venables is a great coordinator, mediocre head coach. That's become painfully obvious.

[@markblankenship6233]

Containing the OU offense under Jackson Arnold was no accomplishment, despite the media hype. The real contest was on the other side of the ball. While some media are saying JH pulled up, coaches and film guys know better. He had to protect his QB, based on the assumption that his offense could easily coral Jackson Arnold and company. It was a sound call by JH, based on the facts that existed then and there. But then, a true freshman named Hawkins came in, used the 3d a quarter to find his his comfort, then drove the ball against the Vol defense- twice-in the 4th quarter. The story about this game being about the Vol defense is only for non-football people. The rest of the SEC defensive coordinators just saw how OU held the number one offense to 150 yards on the ground and forced them out of their offense. Good game.

@@MrWalkwaySc2 Well with both teams having OL injuries TN still whooped Oklahoma so I'd say it was pretty fair. I still want our guys healthy when we play actual top tier SEC competition.

[@MrWalkwaySc2]

@@Charlie-zc7wf both defenses whooped each other. OU’s offense just did more to hurt themselves than UT’s did.

[@Charlie-zc7wf]

@@MrWalkwaySc2 No lol. Coach Huepel even said in post game that they intentionally played conservatively. Probably because of your shitty field. Even the commentators mentioned how bad the field was.

[@MrWalkwaySc2]

@@Charlie-zc7wf you don’t go into a game vs a top 15 opponent on the road and play “conservatively”. He may have dialed it back in the 2nd half, but OU’s defense played elite.

[@perrywebb5833]

Weve been through this before. We thought they were dangerous, they took the 1 spot from uga then 2 weeks later they played uga and lost 27-13

[@joshuawhite7515]

Actually, Tennessee did smash OU. It was 25-3 in the last few minutes of the 4th qtr. Coach Hueple wasn't going to try to run up the score and embarrass Oklahoma in Norman, imo. That last TD by Oklahoma wasn't legit, either. Dude's knees touched the ground before the ball crossed the goal line. The final score should've been 25-9.

TN fan here, I'm going to take the Coach Nick Saban approach. TN was fortunate to come away with the win. A lot of mental errors, lack of discipline in the way of penalties which is a coaching failure, and the inability to contain a scrambling QB while enforcing secondary coverage. The coaching staff needs to implement a plan of action to address these issues that against better opponents could have very likely cost TN the game. Thankfully TN has a bye week, because they have some work to do if they intend to be competitive this season in the SEC. In the words of my older brother, "figure it out". Go Vols!

[@brandeestinnett6523]

Nah, I don’t think half of those PF calls were legit.

[@ghostexile87]

@@brandeestinnett6523 TN fan here, TN has discipline problem. I witnessed it during Hendon Hookers day. He had a scramble which fell short of a touchdown and elbowed the defender after the play. The personal foul wasn't called. Whether or not J Hyp knew of or addressed the incident with Hooker post-game I'll never know. That being said, shit ass unsportsmanlike conduct has no place in college football. I'd like to add that hooker was a hell of a QB while he played for TN.

[@slimreaper9205]

A 10 point win where the opposing QB had a 1.3 QBR and committed three turnovers is a “definitive win” according to this guy. Tennessee should have won that game by way more points considering the dumpster fire that OU’s offense was.

[@kevinchadwick2673]

Heupel took his foot off the gas early in the second half. The game was never in doubt. Sounds like you didn't actually Watch the game and just checked out the box score. 💪🍊

Here we go again 🙄

[@BRoyceEke]

One game isn't validation. If that was the case, we could live and die by the Bama win in 2022... but losing to SC the same year didn't help. Let's wait and see after the UGA if we are validated. Vandy is a sleeper team as well

Playoff level teams find a way to win. No matter the circumstances.

[@ChaseArnold-y6g]

This defense can beat any team in the country period

[@visualclipz6555]

JD do you think that huep was playing conservative because they didn’t want to take any chances on Nico getting hurt with those two o linemen out or because he was trying to show respect to Oklahoma?

[@boomtime4343]

It wasn’t like you’re saying JD, OU had chances to win this game but have the ball back with our QB making bad decisions once again
