Vols showed some good signs
1 penalty the entire game - Probably should have tried to hold that DE
3rd down defense - OU was 3 of 12 (teams are 7 of 31 vs Vols are 3rd down)
Defense is better than expected
Special teams fumble and INT return setup two OU touchdowns
Kept fighting the whole game and blocked a FG near of game
Concerns:
OL is terrible and hopefully can only get better

Tennessee will be a force in 2-3 years. Butch is recruiting at a high level and they are playing with a lot of grit. If we're talking this season, I see 6-6 or 7-5. Worley is playing better IMO and the defense is much improved

Tennessee's fans didn't travel well.

The 100 yard pick 6 when we were on their 2 yard line and the TD that went through Crooms hands for a pick killed us.
Defense played great IMO. Only gave up 1 offensive touchdown the entire second half and did a great job of shutting down drives. Oline looked haggard, but I don't expect to see a Front 7 that loaded the rest of the season outside of possibly Bama.

I thought Tennessee represented well. Stoops wanted to put 50-60 up...but couldn't.

I thought UT played hard. Didn't yall blow a few redzone opportunities?

I eagerly await the return of the Vols. Great start.

Not sure if serious.
Tenn defense gave up 27 points, over 300 yards passing, and 150 yards rushing.
Is this now considered a good sign for the Vol's defense???

Tennessee looked improved over last years team but still made mistakes. The 100 yard int return was a punch in the nads. There was the bad call on the fumble they ruled not a fumble. It should have been Tennessee ball but OU got to keep it. That led to 7.
UT needs to clean it up.

I think UT showed signs of life, which is good. However, UT football should never be proud of a 24 point loss....ever. UT fans attempting to make it some sort of moral victory is sad and reminds me of Bama fans doing the same during Shula's era. Setting the bar low like that only sets you up for failure in the long run.
Not rolling over and dying isn't an indication of "We are on our way back." UT fans are so hungry that reality is just thrown out the door. The reaction by Vol fans to the "OU Stomped UT" headline is proof of that.

All things considered, the defense looked serviceable.
There's no doubt in my mind that OU was the best team we'll play this year. It was a respectable performance by the youngest team in America.

Holy shite, a UT/OU thread with some actual football discussion

Tennessee actually dominated Oklahoma's offense in the 2nd half.
They were under 100 yards rushing until the final drive when they were running out the clock and the game was over.
We helped them out by giving them short field and throwing 2 interceptions in the end zone.
The 100 yard pick 6 was a 14 point swing. Would have been a 10 point game with 12 minutes to go.
But the reality is we are still rebuilding. We are a 6-6 football team and Okl is likely a playoff team.

UT played hard, and I think they'll do well with Butch J. The OL situation needs to be addressed big time.
