Tennessee vs. Oklahoma Preview and Prediction

[@gameovr17]

Tennessee has pretty much played base defense every game this year. They haven't shown anything. I don't think Pierce has played in the second half once this year

[@darrellhannah2862]

He hasn’t

[@WolfofLon]

Tell me you haven’t watched any of Tennessee’s games this year without telling me…

[@RichardPatten-t5o]

Tennessee's defense has not given up a TD yet. Nicco threw a pic 6 . The defense has only given up two field goals. And the offense is averaging 63 points a game! Go Big Orange 🍊

[@KyleDotson_VFL]

Im ready for our defense to shut them out so Josh can go back in his press conference and say “yall gonna give my defense some credit finally”! He was so fired up about his defense being underrated and all I can say is that I don’t see our defense getting any worse anytime soon! Go Big Orange 🍊! Tennessee is scoring atleast 48 points and I see Oklahoma getting no more than 17 if that, I can fully see them only getting 2-3 field goals and no touchdowns

[@Kevinyaheard]

We haven't given up a TD even going back through the bowl game so our defense has gone four games without giving up an offensive touchdown.

[@Oldmandad007]

Nico and Pearce are going to be let off the chain this weekend.... Its wild time.

[@zrod6348]

They’ve been let off the chain, they get chained up by a real defense this weekend

[@clintgrizzel2080]

Oklahoma’s defense is over rated and their offense is terrible. Oklahoma gets exposed in a big way Saturday IMO.

[@RichardPatten-t5o]

@@Oldmandad007 I agree with that 💯

[@Kobra7049]

​@@zrod6348 Tennessee's defense is better than Oklahoma's. The defensive line will destroy Oklahoma offensive line.

[@garistotlexxiii]

This is a strength vs strength game. Most commentators seem to be focused on how bad the OU offense has been. They're getting some guys back so that should help. The real story is that the OU D is nasty. That D, plus a rowdy night crowd keep this one close to the last few minutes. Will this one make 4 straight for OU? Or will Coach Hype get revenge for being canned from his alma mater? Tune in, folks.

[@Eazymango]

Oklahoma's defense is going to surprise, enjoy the love.

[@jakewhite6106]

Best joke I’ve heard all year

[@RichardPatten-t5o]

@@Eazymango I know that Oklahoma has a very good defense and it's going to be won or lose at the line of scrimmage. It's all in who can get penetration and disrupt the QB. Should be a good game. And good luck to the Sooners. But Tennessee takes this one. Go Vols!

[@midtownpowerwashers1368]

Yall were the only ones in the country with questions on the TN d-line. We rotate 12-13 guys and at least 6 will be playing on Sundays at some point. 3 will be drafted, Omar Norman Lott, Omari Thomas and James Pearce.

[@TerrySleuth]

@@midtownpowerwashers1368 Oklahoma's defensive line is better than Tennessee and just as deep. Last week won the Bronco Nagerski award. Vols aren't running the ball Saturday

[@TheInvisibleRedneck]

​@@TerrySleuthwish I could bookmark this comment. Tennessee will run all over OU.

[@corneliuspraeda6452]

Hmm I didn't hear that. I heard stuff about Pearce getting a slower start, but that has more to do with your second point...our ridiculous depth on D-line...then his ability.

[@TerrySleuth]

[@zrod6348]

OU defense is behind Georgia only in the SEC this is gonna be a fun game for this defense!

[@clintgrizzel2080]

That’s hilarious. Oklahoma has an elite defense maybe for Big 12 standards. Is maybe above average in the SEC. They are also gassed mid to late 3rd quarter as their offense can’t sustain drives and run tempo which makes for a lot of time on the field for their defense. TN’s run game starts gashing them in the 2nd half.

[@danielhill2658]

and tennessee, texas, bama, and mizzou lol

[@xBreakdownBradx]

Alot of people have not even mentioned Tennessee's O Line are some Goons too!! GBO 🍊

[@sniff8739]

Gentleman, they've yet to turn anyone loose on either side of the ball. JPJ is gonna eat this week. Mark my words and I believe Nico has some of that Iceman in him (Casey Clausen). I think you're gonna see him come alive with the pressure on

[@codyminton2595]

I can tell these dudes like to look at Stats and don’t watch the games lol. Nico has barely even played. Hes played about 6 quarters in 3 games.

[@Volsfanatic-kn3xw]

Excellent video!

[@MooseMeus]

nico has only played 7 quarters in 3 games. this will be his best game statistically. i dont think most tv/internet show hosts realize this. he played only the first half against UTC, he was taken out in the 4th quarter against NC State, and was taken out midway through the 2nd quarter against Kent State. We will get a full game out of Nico this week.

[@RAID3R63]

Max looks like smalls from the sandlot with that hat on 😂😂

[@bosstalk]

These guys have not watched a single snap of Tennessee defense. Pearce has been in the backfield every game he’s played. The dline was and is completely stacked. There are 3 interior defenders who are going to be taken rounds 1-3 in the next two drafts.

[@RAID3R63]

None of our starters have played a full game together

[@dcooper91g]

Nico hasn’t “not found” his rhythm, there’s just been no need to throw the ball. Also Pierce really hasn’t played a ton and no need to show him off when the other team is down 37 points in 1st qtr. This week Pierce will have 2 sacks and Nico will throw 3-40+ yd passes. Vols 41-17

[@foster7517]

All of our best players have hardly played and our guys are going to play with a vengence they know how much this means to coach there gona want to show ou how big of a mistake it was to fire heupal and use him as a scapegoat after he did so much and gave everything he had for ou just to be embarrassed infront of everyone he loves and the entire cfb wrld ...should be a great game im so nervous but i cant fn wait

[@AndrewCooperSooperGenius]

Pierce just hasn't played much yet. I'll bet his snap count is about 50 for the whole season. That and we haven't done anything but play base defense and very vanilla. Also, the offense has run about 10 plays the first 3 games.

[@Tithulta1]

Pearce hasn't played but i think 50 snaps, and almost NONE of the starters have played in the second half some only the 1st qrter. OU run defense hasnt faced a OL or RB that is coming to Norman

[@jimmylowery5008]

James Pierce is avg 10 snaps a game so far and even in limited snaps he has effected the qb without getting a sack. They will turn him loose Saturday.

[@chrisharp4277]

Tennessee is 12 deep on d line. 5 thru 8 could be any other schools, first 4. 9 thru 12 could be any one's 5 thru 8 rotational guys. Let that sink in GO VOLS

[@KwickKnox80]

13 deep 😂😂💪🍊 Finally have the depth to compete and beat anyone. We don't have to worry about getting tired bc they can rotate without a drop off.

[@britt_piru]

Tennessee is 2 deep!

[@KwickKnox80]

3 deep on the defensive line

[@TerrySleuth]

Sooners are considerably better than shown so far. They were the only squad last season to beat a playoff team and Senior dominated on a complex defense. Young Vols QB on the road turns it over Sooners roll otherwise down to the wire

[@foster7517]

I think so too but so are we our best players have hardly played and our guys are going to play with a vengence they know how much this means to coach there gona want to show ou how big of a mistake it was to fire heupal and use him as a scapegoat should be a great game

@@foster7517 Huepel's revenge is a normal motivation but not any greater than Oklahoma's attitude towards the SEC. This particular spot is toxic for anyone coming in here. Inspired talented Sooners will be near unbeatable

[@corneliuspraeda6452]

Um, Heupel wasn't just an OC for Oklahoma. He's the last Sooner QB to bring home the Natty. And coached there for a DECADE!! So take whatever you think regarding this "revenge game" and pump it UP a few more notches.

[@davidholmes0416]

UT beat a ranked NC State at a neutral site in North Carolina, but NC State could have been overrated. Probably both teams have comparable wins. Tennessee starters haven't played a full game yet. Expect OU at home to be better than any team UT has played. Also, home field gives OU an advantage. I expect a close game. If UT wins, I would call it an upset.

[@trav3104]

Oklahoma fans sound exactly like NC State fans this week 😂😂

[@brandonjones8488]

Just as Tennessee hasn't played anyone, neither has Oklahoma. Stats might be helpful, but they don't tell but a small part of this story.

[@corneliuspraeda6452]

Um, they played an, at least SOLID, NC State team and blew their doors off. OU struggled against Houston and wasn't exactly crisp against Tulane. If OU gets a turnover, or some such, so get a little confidence early, they got a chance to keep it close. If they find themselves down two scores early, it'll be a blowout. UT, on the other hand, can make a comeback under most ANY scenario in this game.

[@TopMach1]

Pearce almost had a Safety do yall even watch the games?

[@marcwryals]

What if peirce doesn't "get going"

[@foster7517]

Peirce has barely played at all and when he does he's doubled teamed and that allowes someone else to get a sack

[@KwickKnox80]

The only way he doesn't get going is by being double teamed. And that will help Tennessee out as a whole bc our defensive line is stacked 💪🍊

[@brittcunningham7914]

OK will be lucky if they score 17pts and Tennessee has a full veteran O line that will give the running backs plenty of yards ...

[@buffalosweetwater4499]

Nc state is bad . .. it's a defense the freshmen has never experienced road game and this defense is great...

[@clintgrizzel2080]

Oklahoma hasn’t experienced an offense like TN and daring Nico to beat you is a terrible game plan as trying to man up against our WR’s with Nico at QB will allow TN’s offense to score quicker as big plays will be available in the passing game. TN’s offense can beat you in multiple ways so it’s a pick your poison situation.

[@RichardPatten-t5o]

Go with the over! Tennessee will put up a lot of points I think 🤔

[@foster7517]

James peirce has hardly played and when he does play they double team him or throw the ball right away he disrupts offenses just being on the feild

[@Tony-mr1iv]

I’m so lost on people saying James Pearce has made a slow start. Okay, by the numbers, sure. But he has GREATLY affected other teams game plan and also, should be credited with assists for sacks and TFLs. Also, teams game plan against him the entire time. So he’s letting everyone eat. Now that people are realizing they can’t double him or else our defense will make them pay, it’s his time. Expect a big game from him.

[@MS-nq7uy]

Pierce will kill it Saturday. Been saving him as he's getting healthier.
