Hey Sooners, just wanted to drop in and say thank you for an incredible weekend. Oklahoma fans are the most welcoming and hospitable of any SEC fans I’ve ever experienced. Treated my dad and I like old friends. Thank you again, we will definitely be back!
@@paulkeahtigh2y’all got a QB in Hawkins I think. Straighten that o line up a bit and that guy will take y’all places. The first QB needs to go play back yard football. That dude is T Rash
Vols fan here. Sooners, hold your heads high. Two great defenses decided that game. Every QB that took the field is a freshman, both sides. Y'all were kind and classy. Your team played a good game.
BV should be fired offensive coordinator should be fired DeMarco Murray she'll be fired this is the worst of the worst you should have pulled Jackson Auto out when he fumble the ball on the goal line. These guys are soft these guys are not in shape they can't take a hit these guys especially get offense is still kids. Colorado Buffalo play a lot better a lot better than Oklahoma I live in Denver Colorado I ain't no watching that game because there was no excitement these guys are so soft they can't take a hit the game when I was watching offensive lineman was on the backs. Tennessee wasn't very good my opinion.
@@elmerpiggee9314 Pure cope! You don’t think Tenn is that good because they didn’t score 100 points? That wasn’t the game plan. Heupel fooled everyone and didn’t run tempo… OU prepared for that all off season and Heupel did the exact opposite. 😂 Tennessee defense blasted OU and the Tennessee offense played your coaches for fools.
tbf Heupel just babied OU. He was extremely conservative and he called the same plays he called against Chattanooga. Still hasnt opened the play book at all. he could have easily made this ugly if he wanted to but he realized early on that OU's team just wasnt on the same level so he called plays to just get the game over with faster knowing they had no chance.
Sooner fans are so much kinder than a majority of the SEC. Thanks for a cool week guys! Hope you go out there and tap some ass rest of the season! I'll be rooting for you! Go Vols 🍊
Another Vols fan, I’ve enjoyed listening to y’all all week. Oklahoma will take care of business next week. It was a fun defensive fight. Y’all have the best defense we’ve played since Georgia in 22
I know you weren’t calling Oklahoma a well balanced team. Did you see Arnold play? He was trash. That is the worst QB performance in Oklahoma history. Look it up!
Vol Fan here. Dudes! Whatcha mean?? OU is a FANTASTIC 2nd half offense. Seemed like things were definitely starting to spool up in the 3rd. Got down too much and too early. Solid team, good luck on the rest of the season, welcome to the SEC 😊
He was running for his life got protect him your oline to banged up be onest and your 2 qb who knows Tennessee started playing prevent defensive in last 8 mints off game josh had mercy but your defense was elite
So full backs don't know anything about football? FBs are dirty job dogs. They go in basically to just block. They hardly ever get the ball but still love to come in and hit someone.
Because we wanted a feel good story, higher a local Oklahoma boy former player etc.. BIG MISTAKE. I have hated the higher from day one. We will have to fire him. JUST WATCH
@Stable_Genius HUGE difference. An offensive lineman understands protection schemes, communication with the rest of the line and understands defensive fronts. These are all things a QB needs to know. A fullback is a now-obsolete position that never had to worry about communicating with the line. It's comparing apples to oranges.
UT guy, much respect for Oklahoma. The defense was great on both sides, you all need to figure out your offense and you'll be fine. Josh played soft the second half on offense, really the first time I've seen him do that, I think he felt the defense could win the game for us and didn't want our offense to lose it turning the ball over. Good luck the rest of the way
Story I know of is the guy who was doing the field quit to go to the PGA after they dug up the field. So he quit after digging it up and someone else had to fix the mess that soulda have not occurred in the first place. Sorry that's all I know
@knoxvilledoobie8549 The D is elite. We literally game plan all of our opponents starting in winter. Each coach scouts a certain amount of teams and we game plan for them.
Vol fan here y'all looked good on D the offense was awful the 2nd string QB looked better but we were playing conservative on D in the 4th quarter only rushing 3 in prevent Defense on offense and defense Josh played to conservative and I think it has a lot to do with our tackles being hurt and we gotta clean up the penalties but some of the roughing the passer calls on 4th down was a terrible call but we got the W by double digits in Oklahoma I'll take it proud of the guys and it was a hard fought game had me nervous in the 4th quarter wish y'all all the best the rest of the year
Tennessee may end up being the best team y'all play this year as well yet no credit. Bunch of excuses as to why OU played bad. Maybe the other team was just way better.
@jneal713 on the flip side if we get points off the Vols turnovers the game complexion completely changes. It looked like Tennessee would've prevailed anyway but we'd have seen an exciting finish instead of the ugly
@@jneal713these Okie “fans” will fit in nicely in the SEC with the others Alabama, Georgia, Florida etc. No credit to the other team, just whining excuses.
Lol yeah okay. So our own podcast can’t cover the team’s mistakes, which obviously cost us the game? Just a 1 min video instead: “Tenn is like so much better and stuff.” You really think we’re impressed?
Tennessee Fan but I enjoyed the Podcast. Oklahoma is a "Blue Blood" Program and the Offense at Oklahoma is always expected to be Elite. Auburn is not a good Football Team so Oklahoma should win that game with relative ease.
they didnt push DG out, DG left to go to OR on his own will, it was an agreement between DG and JA. I wish DG stayed so JA could better prepare mentally
Pushing an established guy out the door sounds like story of Coach Heup! Go now and beat Texas, Missouri, Alabama, and LSU. Clean up the offense and you got this.
Come back to this comment in say 4 games from now. DG is just meh. I appreciate him and always will for being the band aid he was. But yes I was high on Arnold......whoops
Vol fan here. Y'all have a top tier defense. Your offense started to find its legs in the second half. You are the only team to score an offensive touchdown against the Vols since 2023. Hawkins is going to be a fun player to watch. This was a great game to start a new conference rivalry. We'll be cheering "Boomer Sooner" for you when you play UT Jr.
Seth Littrell has to go. This isnt some knee jerk reaction to a loss. Through 4 weeks they've shown absolutely zero improvement on offense. Hes made no adjustments to tge scheme, we just keep doing what isnt working. I love having all the former players on staff but this is embarrassing. Time to go get some real offensive coaches.
I'm harping at this point because I've said it so much lately. The former players are loyal as hell. But that doesn't make them great coaches. If Seth was going to be a top tier OC he would have become that long before now. Promoting him over going out to get a real OC is just a form of nepotism. Demarco is another one. Great Oklahoma back, one of the best. But as a coach? His backs still don't know plays, they can't break first contact, not good at blocking, even see Sawchuck and Barnes both run up the back of tackles still in their third year.
This isn’t a just a JA issue. People seem to just focus on bad QB play,but where’s the help the QB adjustments. Littrell and JJF as Co-OC is the major issue. Spreading your offense out and your QB 7 yards in the end zone and run zone read/RPO is bad,bad. I don’t believe JA is this bad and I do believe Littrell as OC is worse.
While Texas just plays Georgia at home .. Oklahoma has to play #4 Alabama, #6 Tennessee, #18 LSU, #7 Missouri #5 Ole Miss, South Carolina…. The NCAA/ESPN have their favorites…
Got to say as a Vols fan, that freshman QB is what you guys MUST go with. Also, you guys have a top tier defense!! Good luck on the rest of your games! GBO and Sooners!
In theory the high, wet grass on the field should have hindered Tennessee more, however I believe it contributed to the injuries that hindered Oklahoma. Praying for a speedy recovery for all the injured players and best wishes for the rest of the season.
People are so freaked out about the abysmal first half that they can’t recall how, once getting acclimated, Hawkins moved the ball against a good Tennessee defense. It wasn’t a fluke. The kid is good. He was able to do this with the OU line.
I’m tired of hearing Seth Latrell say that it starts with him after EVERY game….. I’m done with the Latrell offense! Horrible play calling, horrible qb play, horrible line play! Good job to the Vols, they played a great game. Still got mad love for Josh. Thank you Josh for letting off that 2nd half!
Thanks for a great experience OU fans. Welcome to the SEC. Y’all will fit right in. Be proud of how OU handled themselves last night. They gave nothing for free and never quit. We have one of the top offenses in the country and y’all made us look like we didn’t know how to play offense.
Tennessee completely changed their strategy in the 2nd due to field conditions and how the Tennessee was playing. Heupel wasnt going to let Nico continue to get pounded trying to pass and potentially make a mistake that could cost the game and instead decided to make the OU offense beat his defense which OU proved incapable of doing.
Bates and Bill had three years to get the O line and D line SEC ready and the o line was in a lot better spot and bates got us SEC ready. Bill has crippled this team to a point where we can’t do anything. All the problems stem from the o line being so terrible. He’s got to lose his job over it.
OU’s defense is good but Heupel’s gameplan and the field surface along with hurt starting OTs played into his decision of running the ball into big boxes. I’m not sure why he was that super ultra conservative but he continued to run the ball into 8-9man boxes as he just wanted to get out of there with a safe win.
@@Coliver5789 yeah I know but it’s the simple fact that he was decisive and quick, and was able to get the ball to his receiver for a big gain…just something I feel like JA hasn’t been able to create
Deal Oklahoma…. Thank you making the mistake of firing the best coach in the country. Without Coach H I’m not sure where we would be. Wouldn’t trade him for any coach in the country
Heupel was a class act. Said after the game in second half changed offecne calling . He took his foot off the pedal . Never seen him Do that in 3 years . He ran up middle 3 time for 4 series once he had game in hand and knew defence could win it.
Play calling changed some, but some of thats coach speak. Tennessee threw the ball 11 times in the first half and 10 times in the 2nd half. They’re a run first offense. UT offense scored 17 in the first half, 6 in the 2nd half. That 11 point difference had much more to do with 5 first half turnovers (counting the turnover on downs at midfield and the safety). 5 turnovers and the best field position Tennessee could have ever wanted. The OU defense couldn’t catch its breath the first half with that 1-and-out offense.
@@phillips3994 I've watched Heupel's offense now closely for 3.25 years and he has never just ran the ball up the middle 3 straight plays drive after drive. They clearly changed the offense to try to burn off as much clock as possible each series without risking a turnover and let the defense win. They most certainly took their foot off the gas. Anyone saying different just wants to think this game was closer than it was. If this was a one score game entering the 3rd quarter, you see completely different play calling in the 2nd half.
@@tylerhoffman2271 like I said, there were some changes, but some of that is what a coach just says. And yes, football 101 says you try to burn clock and avoid the high risk-high reward plays when you have a lead later in the game. That’s literally what I’ve already said. Tennessee only had 1 big play in the first half, otherwise they only scored when the OU offense gave them a short field (which they vastly avoided in the 2nd half). Go back and look at the average field position in the first half versus the second half and tell me that it wasn’t a factor to them scoring in the first half and not the second half.
I'm at the point where I can't trust the coaches anymore after the QB they've been firing out there. Thanks to the Vols fans for your kind words and respect.
FINALLY, you guys are the best group. George is spot on when talking about the guys brought in for the Oline and #10 - TE. These are not OU talent. Love their experience but the young guys need to play and these older cats can help guide them and provide backup.
The field does need some work. Lot of Tn players slipping. OU look like they had different cleats. Plus the faking injuries was not very sportsmanlike. I know that probably happens with all teams but atleast make it look better. He looked to sideline and then dropped to the ground. That was bad.
Oklahoma played a good game. As a Tennessee fan, I'm not accustomed to bragging, that said, I'm going to say- Tennessee has accumulated a collection of players that can flat out 'get it'. That said, Oklahoma has some great talent as well. No team will have much success running the ball against the Vols this year due to the number of talented down linemen wearing orange. Your team and fans showed a lot of class Saturday night. Welcome to the SEC, we are proud to have you as a member.
Oh, another thing. You can't play just 5 OLs for an entire game. You have to have 8 or 9 guys that you trust and sub in. The Vols played without their top two OTs for most of the game. Their back ups were good enough to get the job done.... and we don't really think UT is good enough there yet. The biggest difference between the Big 12 that you used to play in and the SEC is that every team legitimately has the talent to beat you in any given week. Two thirds can beat you straight up- see UK vs UGA and Vandy vs Mizzou. OU is going to need more depth than they're used to having... and play them. UT played 3 deep on the DL. Whereas you usually talk about the DL being worn out by an OL... UT's fresh DLs gave OU fits.
It was really a tale of two halves. The second half Sooners offense looked better than OU has looked in a long time. The defense was actually the best on the field because of what it was able to do against the number one offense in the country. Tennessee’s offense is mortal. Hawkins showed that even with O line woes, OU can still move the ball against a good Tennessee defense with the right guy at QB.
Heupel fooled everyone and didn’t run tempo… OU prepared for that all off season and Heupel did the exact opposite. 😂 OU defense IS NOT A TENNESSEE DEFENSE… NOT EVEN CLOSE and the entire country saw that. 😂
TN’s starting tackles were out and it caused TN to call a different game. And TN’s defense could play cov 2 because OU’s offense was atrocious. Heup knew he could win by just running the ball.
Tennessee called 52 runs out of 73 total plays. You didn't see the offense. I'm disappointed it went that way, but dadgum, you're talkin butch jones years vols delusion.
No way, Josh Heupel let up off the gas, game was over at 19-3, he wasn't going to humiliate OU on the night he was honored, that game could've easily been 43-3
Texas fan here…yall defense is ELITE!!! One of the best in the nation but this is what some of yall get for trashing Arch for a whole year saying Arnold was better than him and he is only ranked high cause of his last name.
OU has gone from having some of the best QBs in college football history with incredible offenses and horrific defenses to now being completely the other way around. That's arguably the worst offensive OU football performance I've ever seen dating back to the early 80s and it's not only the QB but the playcalling. Hawkins gives us some hope because he showed some promise and remember we also have Casey Thompson who started for TX and Nebraska. This season isn't over yet.
Did you sleep through the 90s??? The early 80s offense were years and miles and galaxies better than gawd awful 90s OU football. Ho Lee fuk this offense reminds me of John Blake era
How about we stop bringing in former players and coaches and just go get the best OC possible. How many more former guys do we have to bring back to find out it’s not gonna work?
@@kerronis6897 I agree with this 100%. No more relying on nostalgia! I will say the one exception I’d be ok with is if we brought in Kevin Wilson as OC.
kevin wilson was oc when we lost a very winnable national title game vs florida. Furthermore, wilson was oc at Ohio state for a short time and they let him go. So, there’s that . . . ,
We don't have any weapons! Every WR limped off the field with a toenail or some other issue.. I just feel so bad for Kendal Dolby, man, makes me sick what happened.
I hate it for that kid that got hurt, but you can blame your own team and university for his career likely being over because of that cow pasture field that was intentionally made that way because they thought it was an advantage over us
Vol fan here. Chin up, Sooners! Your defense is great. There's a lot of hope for Hawkins as QB. You may need to replace your OC or Venables to get a good OL in place, but it's all fixable. Wishing your injured players speedy recoveries and good luck moving forward.
Hawkins had 12 snaps against Temple prior to this. There is absolutely nothing bad to say about him stepping in tonite. He can only become more effective with starting reps.
I expected OU to look like they did last time OHIO STATE was in Norman ! -- But is TENN not as good as we thought they were (?) -- or -- is OU's D just this elite ? -- Could be a bit of both and not all one sided ?!? -- -- -- But -- did you see Georgia @ Kentucky -?- Was also something terrible if your a Georgia fan ? > Texas is scary right now.
could be a guy returning home and calling off the dogs. He was in tears at the end of the game. Ran three straight times 3 times could have ran up the score
As a Vols fan, I've been saying Oklahoma is a good football team for months, and I stand by it. I think what's impressive on our side is how many mistakes and missed blocking assignments we had, and we still won pretty comfortablely vs an elite defense and good coaching staff.
you guys are spot on when you say that these guys dont look like they should be playing for OU on the O-line. But honestly the entire offense feels that way. This is the first season where i cant name a single stand out player on the offense. Theres no one that i can say hey just get him the ball and he will get you something. Its bad. Its gonna be bad also because if i was on that defense and i had to deal with my offense not doing anything with what we do id be so pissed. Its not fair for them to be so good and hae an offense that couldnt score on a division 2 team.
Heupel basically shut his offense down in the 2nd half or it wouldn't have been close ! I guess he didn't want to embarrasse his Alma Mater ! Okies should thank him!
I don't think Josh has any desire to show his whole hand against OU unless truly needed. Save that for Bama and GA. This game has a good spin and back story will their "Welcome to SEC" and Josh, but that doesnt make them some rival for us. (nor does Josh want it to be) We just took care of business and went home to Rocky Top.
Great atmosphere. Welcome to the sec. OK defense is for real. So is UTs. Both teams just kinda floated around offensively. Ok has been battered by injuries. And UT was down both of their starting tackles. And that’s the one area we have 0 depth. So considering that I’m glad to get out of Norman’s a road win in sec. I’ll take it everytime. I’m sure this is just the first of many slugfests between the Bols and Sooners
Unfortunately OU doesn’t have a quarterback, or an offensive line. I love OU, Brent Ven, just the way things worked out. May take a year or two, we will compete...Boomer Sooner, always loved Josh, liked Tennessee since I was a kid, I’m 67 now. Both Great programs, glad to see Josh successful, not surprised. Glad to be in SEC. Boomer!
Bob Stoops - defensive coach - went out and hired the best offensive mind he could find over and over. BV - defensive coach - needs to do the same. I’m at the point with the ENTIRE offensive staff (save Emmett Jones), that they seem too comfortable or something. Joe Jon, Demarco, Bedenbaugh, Litrell, all of them have absolutely SUCKED. How do we not have a dominant tight end? A dominant running back? A dominant offensive line? This is freaking Oklahoma! It’s embarrassing.
Nah don't put Demarco in there. It's not his fault that the O-line can get shit open for our running backs. Also I love BB but this shit is pathetic. I don't think we fire him. His track record is too good. Also the recruits he has coming in we can't lose if we fire him.
When evaluating oc's how do you decide if its because the coach has better players than opposing team or coaching developed them and scheme them to be better?
Josh is slowly building Nico up. OU definitely has elite defense so to not tear Nico down you run it. Luckily for us OU didn't force us to have Nico actually have to make some tough decisions.
A lot of your fans bragging pregame about the national championships, heisman trophy winners and "heritage". How'd that help you? To the fans who were gracious yet competitive, kudos to you! You're what makes football fun! I like your team, I hate your field, but will be pulling for you to win every game from here out! Go Big Orange! 🍊
This was spot on. Joe Jon Finley has no business being an OC at this point. Way over his head. Same with Littrell. Terribly under prepared. The ignorance of preparation in the last couple years to develop OLinemen for GAME situations is very glaring. Defense is solid. Special teams, outside of punter, looks troubling.
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.
@derek17005. OU is now completely "woke". Cale read aloud the "n" word written in a sentence on a player's iPad and was shamed into resigning his position. The looney left will make certain he never coaches at OU again.
Give the Tennessee Defense credit. They are a Top 1-5 Defense in the Nation. Tennessee was also without their Starting Left and Right Tackle on Offense last night.
My predicted score was off, but the outcome was exactly what I thought it would be. OU defense is better than I thought. Good job for OU, but that's life in the SEC.
You guys making the transfer linemen feel really good, they evidently were recruited to transfer to OU, if they are not the best you have then you have coaches that can’t develop or recruit quality players. Think we need to give Tennessee some credit too, they made as many mistakes as we did plus we didn’t have near as many penalties as Vols did.
I saw the real DEION BURKS tonight; DEION BURKS was frustrated and i don't believe he is truly hurt HE QUIT! BOTTOM LINE, when he saw that they were struggling and NIC ANDERSON went out with that injury and JACKSON ARNOLD was a deer in the headlights , im telling you that DEION BURKS quit on the team with that fake injury because he saw that he was doing it by himself and i hate that i even look at it that way because i love DEION BURKS but he quit on the team .... JUST STAY TUNED!
Good Game regardless. Welcome to the SEC. Think OUs culture is definitely SEC. You had us in 2015 in another good game w a lot more to come between the two schools for sure.
Vol for Life here. OU's defense was outstanding and Hawkins very impressive. I'm just a casual student of the game, no expert, but it looks to me like some of the pieces are there including no quit/will to win. Yes this was disappointing if you're a Sooner, but you all are tough. Now beat that imposter UT school from Austin.
Vol here proud of my team. My opinion on ou doesn't matter to you all but hawkins has to be the guy. I thought it was disrespectful to bring Arnold back in for that late td handoff trying to salvage him a bright spot
Gabe Ikard tore into Seth’s lack of a game plan and play call strategy. At what point does BV replace him as play caller and if so who realistically steps in mid season?
We got beat fair and square and honestly Heup could have poured it on more. This team is who it is. They may be actually making a breakthrough with the cast of characters playing in the fourth quarter. Pettway, Hawkins looked good. Just start looking at positives regardless. The defense is awesome.
Heupel absolutely changed his offense! Tennessee ran the ball 52 times out of 71 plays! That’s the most runs in the Heupel era at UT! I’m a die hard Tennessee fan and even though we won I hated the offense he was running out there tonight!
Venables needs to for his offensive coordinator. The guy has had plenty of time to work out the bugs. The offensive line was clueless. Jackson Arnold was clueless too. OH yeah! I forgot the Arnold fumble on the Vol's 5-yard-line! Unbelievable! The defense sets you up and you fumble the damn ball away on one play!
Hey Sooners, just wanted to drop in and say thank you for an incredible weekend. Oklahoma fans are the most welcoming and hospitable of any SEC fans I’ve ever experienced. Treated my dad and I like old friends. Thank you again, we will definitely be back!
We will be better next time.
Thank you, I'm glad you were treated good, great game,our o line can't block yet,see y'all next year, we still love Josh😎🏈

It wasn't even the 3-and-outs that killed us yesterday. It was the 1-and-outs!
I know it was killing me
You have to give Tennessee credit for coming into Norman with a very young quarterback, a hostile environment and with a very well-balanced team.
I know you weren’t calling Oklahoma a well balanced team. Did you see Arnold play? He was trash. That is the worst QB performance in Oklahoma history. Look it up!

Got down too much and too early. Solid team, good luck on the rest of the season, welcome to the SEC 😊
Because Hawkins finally got in! Wish he played the 1st half. Things might of been different
Oklahomas Defense is the shit! Coming from a Vols fan.
Agreed. We couldn’t get anything going on the ground, minus a few blown plays, they played such tight coverage it was impressive.
Definitely dangerous. Those lineman stunts were well executed!
was impressed with how hard ok was hitting last night.
OU defense was good. But dude Vols defense was great.
@@calvincorum6315 Yeah our Defense is impressive. But if you strapped OUs defense in Vols gear I would still be proud.

Absolutely agree. I don't know if he is seeing things right .and to slow to react...

Will somebody, anybody, please tell me why a former fullback is our QB coach?
So full backs don't know anything about football? FBs are dirty job dogs. They go in basically to just block. They hardly ever get the ball but still love to come in and hit someone.
Because we wanted a feel good story, higher a local Oklahoma boy former player etc.. BIG MISTAKE. I have hated the higher from day one. We will have to fire him. JUST WATCH
Lebby was an O lineman. What's your point?
@Stable_Genius HUGE difference. An offensive lineman understands protection schemes, communication with the rest of the line and understands defensive fronts. These are all things a QB needs to know. A fullback is a now-obsolete position that never had to worry about communicating with the line. It's comparing apples to oranges.
jb you are wrong about everything. backs in the backfield have to know all that $# ! + too.
UT guy, much respect for Oklahoma. The defense was great on both sides, you all need to figure out your offense and you'll be fine. Josh played soft the second half on offense, really the first time I've seen him do that, I think he felt the defense could win the game for us and didn't want our offense to lose it turning the ball over. Good luck the rest of the way
Vol fan here yalls defense is legit but that field wasn't in best shape to why so many went down
Story I know of is the guy who was doing the field quit to go to the PGA after they dug up the field. So he quit after digging it up and someone else had to fix the mess that soulda have not occurred in the first place. Sorry that's all I know
Long story but yes our field maintenance manager quit. We should be better after this year .
@@DArmstrongMedia it def seem like nobody could break awau with speed
I was up past 2:00am watching all the interviews and post game takes with all you guys as well. Didn't wake up until 12:30pm today.
VFL. Don’t get to down on your team. This season ain’t getting easier for either of us. You’re in the SEC! BEAT Texas!
Beat Texas. Yeah right.
@@galveston Alabama and Texas are two most hated schools in the SEC
VOLS FAN GBO🍊! But I must say that Oklahoma D IS CRAZY GOOD!
Yes,our o line can't block yet, see y'all next year, we still love Josh 😎🏈
I don't know about CRAZY good. They're good, though.
Oklahoma's defense is okay. not elite. Considering they've been game planning for tennessee since last winter..GO VOLS..
@knoxvilledoobie8549 The D is elite. We literally game plan all of our opponents starting in winter. Each coach scouts a certain amount of teams and we game plan for them.
Vol fan here y'all looked good on D the offense was awful the 2nd string QB looked better but we were playing conservative on D in the 4th quarter only rushing 3 in prevent Defense on offense and defense Josh played to conservative and I think it has a lot to do with our tackles being hurt and we gotta clean up the penalties but some of the roughing the passer calls on 4th down was a terrible call but we got the W by double digits in Oklahoma I'll take it proud of the guys and it was a hard fought game had me nervous in the 4th quarter wish y'all all the best the rest of the year
Tennessee sat on the lead. This would have been a complete blowout with healthy offensive tackles for the Vols.
Tennessee may end up being the best team y'all play this year as well yet no credit. Bunch of excuses as to why OU played bad. Maybe the other team was just way better.
@jneal713 on the flip side if we get points off the Vols turnovers the game complexion completely changes. It looked like Tennessee would've prevailed anyway but we'd have seen an exciting finish instead of the ugly
@@jneal713these Okie “fans” will fit in nicely in the SEC with the others Alabama, Georgia, Florida etc. No credit to the other team, just whining excuses.
Lol yeah okay. So our own podcast can’t cover the team’s mistakes, which obviously cost us the game? Just a 1 min video instead: “Tenn is like so much better and stuff.” You really think we’re impressed?
@@TerrySleuthif
Tennessee Fan but I enjoyed the Podcast. Oklahoma is a "Blue Blood" Program and the Offense at Oklahoma is always expected to be Elite. Auburn is not a good Football Team so Oklahoma should win that game with relative ease.
Win with ease? Hahaha have you seen our offense?
Our offense isn’t good enough for it to be easy. First one to ten wins lol
The real QB controversy is that they pushed the established guy out the door and now, he's riding high in Oregon.
they didnt push DG out, DG left to go to OR on his own will, it was an agreement between DG and JA. I wish DG stayed so JA could better prepare mentally
We’ve yet to see anything outstanding considering the weapons and OL he has. His best win is Boise. “Riding high……”. lol
Pushing an established guy out the door sounds like story of Coach Heup! Go now and beat Texas, Missouri, Alabama, and LSU. Clean up the offense and you got this.
DG left because he got 1 hell of a NIL deal from oregon, because DG knows he probably wont make the NFL Draft!!!
Come back to this comment in say 4 games from now. DG is just meh. I appreciate him and always will for being the band aid he was. But yes I was high on Arnold......whoops
Vol fan here. Y'all have a top tier defense. Your offense started to find its legs in the second half. You are the only team to score an offensive touchdown against the Vols since 2023. Hawkins is going to be a fun player to watch. This was a great game to start a new conference rivalry. We'll be cheering "Boomer Sooner" for you when you play UT Jr.
As a sooner, you vols are a classy group. Will be pulling for you guys, good luck!
Seth Littrell has to go. This isnt some knee jerk reaction to a loss. Through 4 weeks they've shown absolutely zero improvement on offense. Hes made no adjustments to tge scheme, we just keep doing what isnt working. I love having all the former players on staff but this is embarrassing. Time to go get some real offensive coaches.
Not a knee jerk reaction at all. His RPO style is honestly one of the worst styles I’ve ever seen implemented on a football field.
You can’t use the RPO if you can’t run the dang ball. Oklahoma hired the worst Leach disciple. The Littrell hire was terrible and it’s showing
Kevin Wilson…? 👀
I'm harping at this point because I've said it so much lately. The former players are loyal as hell. But that doesn't make them great coaches. If Seth was going to be a top tier OC he would have become that long before now. Promoting him over going out to get a real OC is just a form of nepotism. Demarco is another one. Great Oklahoma back, one of the best. But as a coach? His backs still don't know plays, they can't break first contact, not good at blocking, even see Sawchuck and Barnes both run up the back of tackles still in their third year.
This isn’t a just a JA issue. People seem to just focus on bad QB play,but where’s the help the QB adjustments. Littrell and JJF as Co-OC is the major issue. Spreading your offense out and your QB 7 yards in the end zone and run zone read/RPO is bad,bad. I don’t believe JA is this bad and I do believe Littrell as OC is worse.
Why did we call a shotgun handoff on the 1 yard line? Terrible calls and execution
I don't get it. We have talent but damn offense looks like a Jr high c team.
Pruitt use to do that to TN
@@ericanderson827 I still have the mental scars.
@jonathanross149 I still seek therapy 😢
While Texas just plays Georgia at home .. Oklahoma has to play #4 Alabama, #6 Tennessee, #18 LSU, #7 Missouri #5 Ole Miss, South Carolina…. The NCAA/ESPN have their favorites…
Got to say as a Vols fan, that freshman QB is what you guys MUST go with. Also, you guys have a top tier defense!! Good luck on the rest of your games! GBO and Sooners!
Appreciate the coverage. Was a hard fought win by the Vols. Good luck the rest of the season. 🍊🍊
In theory the high, wet grass on the field should have hindered Tennessee more, however I believe it contributed to the injuries that hindered Oklahoma. Praying for a speedy recovery for all the injured players and best wishes for the rest of the season.
Ya there a photo goin around of a big hole where that dline guy ankle sunk it when his snapped
This. Their trash field is part of why both offenses were so stagnant and why you have a likely career ending injury of their own player.
Shameful.
@@bobdeslob8768 its sad that so many ou fans downplaying the field conditions
People are so freaked out about the abysmal first half that they can’t recall how, once getting acclimated, Hawkins moved the ball against a good Tennessee defense. It wasn’t a fluke. The kid is good. He was able to do this with the OU line.
By the time he got going, it was already over, and Tennessee was simply making him drive instead really going after him
Don't forget the lousy calls by the refs to keep OU drives alive.
@@tommydownes2022 especially that holding call that negated the 50 yard play
tommyceej- and don’t forget OU’s first TD called back because voltards jumped into neutral zone. Should have been declinable and OU touchdown.
@@outnabout6966nope CB made contact with the WR. That was actually a very intelligent call by the cornerback.
I’m tired of hearing Seth Latrell say that it starts with him after EVERY game….. I’m done with the Latrell offense! Horrible play calling, horrible qb play, horrible line play! Good job to the Vols, they played a great game. Still got mad love for Josh. Thank you Josh for letting off that 2nd half!
Thanks for a great experience OU fans. Welcome to the SEC. Y’all will fit right in. Be proud of how OU handled themselves last night. They gave nothing for free and never quit. We have one of the top offenses in the country and y’all made us look like we didn’t know how to play offense.
Tennessee completely changed their strategy in the 2nd due to field conditions and how the Tennessee was playing. Heupel wasnt going to let Nico continue to get pounded trying to pass and potentially make a mistake that could cost the game and instead decided to make the OU offense beat his defense which OU proved incapable of doing.
Bates and Bill had three years to get the O line and D line SEC ready and the o line was in a lot better spot and bates got us SEC ready. Bill has crippled this team to a point where we can’t do anything. All the problems stem from the o line being so terrible. He’s got to lose his job over it.
OU’s defense is good but Heupel’s gameplan and the field surface along with hurt starting OTs played into his decision of running the ball into big boxes.
I’m not sure why he was that super ultra conservative but he continued to run the ball into 8-9man boxes as he just wanted to get out of there with a safe win.
Thanks for staying up so late. Great work guys, good pallet cleanser on a Sunday morning.
Maybe everyone will start realizing Bedenbaugh is overrated as absolute fuck... This is the worst Oline I've seen at OU..
Ho Lee jeez I thought I've been the only one saying this for 4 years
For such a great program OU has your football field was crap you should be embarrassed your in the SEC now ! Fix your field
lol
Imagine if the University of Oklahoma could put an offense and a defense on the field in the same season. Thats whats called a football team.
Oregon fan here thanks for DG
Lololol ur welcome buddy
That 46 yard pass to Pettaway in the 4th told me everything I need to know about Hawk
He’s a dog
TN had their 3rd string in and the DB fell down on the crap field…..but yes, he was better.
@@Coliver5789 yeah I know but it’s the simple fact that he was decisive and quick, and was able to get the ball to his receiver for a big gain…just something I feel like JA hasn’t been able to create
@@HamiPastrami true! He was way more decisive running and passing.
Maybe Bedenbaugh should have just left with riley, when riley offered him to go with him to usc.
Deal Oklahoma…. Thank you making the mistake of firing the best coach in the country. Without Coach H I’m not sure where we would be. Wouldn’t trade him for any coach in the country
Heupel was a class act. Said after the game in second half changed offecne calling . He took his foot off the pedal . Never seen him Do that in 3 years . He ran up middle 3 time for 4 series once he had game in hand and knew defence could win it.
That was smart coaching he is a great coach
Play calling changed some, but some of thats coach speak. Tennessee threw the ball 11 times in the first half and 10 times in the 2nd half. They’re a run first offense. UT offense scored 17 in the first half, 6 in the 2nd half. That 11 point difference had much more to do with 5 first half turnovers (counting the turnover on downs at midfield and the safety). 5 turnovers and the best field position Tennessee could have ever wanted. The OU defense couldn’t catch its breath the first half with that 1-and-out offense.
@@phillips3994 I've watched Heupel's offense now closely for 3.25 years and he has never just ran the ball up the middle 3 straight plays drive after drive. They clearly changed the offense to try to burn off as much clock as possible each series without risking a turnover and let the defense win. They most certainly took their foot off the gas. Anyone saying different just wants to think this game was closer than it was. If this was a one score game entering the 3rd quarter, you see completely different play calling in the 2nd half.
@tylerhoffman2271 yeap well said and you know our coach heupel.
@@tylerhoffman2271 like I said, there were some changes, but some of that is what a coach just says. And yes, football 101 says you try to burn clock and avoid the high risk-high reward plays when you have a lead later in the game. That’s literally what I’ve already said.
Tennessee only had 1 big play in the first half, otherwise they only scored when the OU offense gave them a short field (which they vastly avoided in the 2nd half). Go back and look at the average field position in the first half versus the second half and tell me that it wasn’t a factor to them scoring in the first half and not the second half.
WELCOME TO SEC FOOTBALL, GONE ARE THE DAYS ONLY PLAYING 1 GAME A YEAR
I'm at the point where I can't trust the coaches anymore after the QB they've been firing out there. Thanks to the Vols fans for your kind words and respect.
FINALLY, you guys are the best group. George is spot on when talking about the guys brought in for the Oline and #10 - TE. These are not OU talent. Love their experience but the young guys need to play and these older cats can help guide them and provide backup.
Thank you St. George for being real and not gaslighting the issues 💯
The field does need some work. Lot of Tn players slipping. OU look like they had different cleats. Plus the faking injuries was not very sportsmanlike. I know that probably happens with all teams but atleast make it look better. He looked to sideline and then dropped to the ground. That was bad.
Oklahoma played a good game. As a Tennessee fan, I'm not accustomed to bragging, that said, I'm going to say- Tennessee has accumulated a collection of players that can flat out 'get it'. That said, Oklahoma has some great talent as well. No team will have much success running the ball against the Vols this year due to the number of talented down linemen wearing orange.
Your team and fans showed a lot of class Saturday night. Welcome to the SEC, we are proud to have you as a member.
Oh, another thing. You can't play just 5 OLs for an entire game. You have to have 8 or 9 guys that you trust and sub in. The Vols played without their top two OTs for most of the game. Their back ups were good enough to get the job done.... and we don't really think UT is good enough there yet. The biggest difference between the Big 12 that you used to play in and the SEC is that every team legitimately has the talent to beat you in any given week. Two thirds can beat you straight up- see UK vs UGA and Vandy vs Mizzou.
OU is going to need more depth than they're used to having... and play them.
UT played 3 deep on the DL. Whereas you usually talk about the DL being worn out by an OL... UT's fresh DLs gave OU fits.
It was really a tale of two halves. The second half Sooners offense looked better than OU has looked in a long time. The defense was actually the best on the field because of what it was able to do against the number one offense in the country. Tennessee’s offense is mortal. Hawkins showed that even with O line woes, OU can still move the ball against a good Tennessee defense with the right guy at QB.
Heupel fooled everyone and didn’t run tempo… OU prepared for that all off season and Heupel did the exact opposite. 😂 OU defense IS NOT A TENNESSEE DEFENSE… NOT EVEN CLOSE and the entire country saw that. 😂
TN’s starting tackles were out and it caused TN to call a different game. And TN’s defense could play cov 2 because OU’s offense was atrocious. Heup knew he could win by just running the ball.
Tennessee doesn't have the number 1 offense lmao
Tennessee called 52 runs out of 73 total plays. You didn't see the offense. I'm disappointed it went that way, but dadgum, you're talkin butch jones years vols delusion.
No way, Josh Heupel let up off the gas, game was over at 19-3, he wasn't going to humiliate OU on the night he was honored, that game could've easily been 43-3
Texas fan here…yall defense is ELITE!!! One of the best in the nation but this is what some of yall get for trashing Arch for a whole year saying Arnold was better than him and he is only ranked high cause of his last name.
It did suck. Thanks for the show guys
OU has gone from having some of the best QBs in college football history with incredible offenses and horrific defenses to now being completely the other way around. That's arguably the worst offensive OU football performance I've ever seen dating back to the early 80s and it's not only the QB but the playcalling. Hawkins gives us some hope because he showed some promise and remember we also have Casey Thompson who started for TX and Nebraska. This season isn't over yet.
Thompson should have started day one, he's bad ass, Seth should know that,SMH😎🏈
Tennessee's defense had something to do with it...
@@paulkeahtigh2 he might get his chance. Clearly Arnold is done.
Did you sleep through the 90s??? The early 80s offense were years and miles and galaxies better than gawd awful 90s OU football. Ho Lee fuk this offense reminds me of John Blake era
Bring Cale back to run the offense!!
How about we stop bringing in former players and coaches and just go get the best OC possible. How many more former guys do we have to bring back to find out it’s not gonna work?
@@kerronis6897 I agree with this 100%. No more relying on nostalgia! I will say the one exception I’d be ok with is if we brought in Kevin Wilson as OC.
@@kerronis6897 Look at UNLV!! They got it going on!
kevin wilson was oc when we lost a very winnable national title game vs florida. Furthermore, wilson was oc at Ohio state for a short time and they let him go. So, there’s that . . . ,
You do know Tennessee went to prevent zone after we got to 25 points knowing OU couldn’t get there…
We don't have any weapons! Every WR limped off the field with a toenail or some other issue..
I just feel so bad for Kendal Dolby, man, makes me sick what happened.
The condition of the field was horrible. OU as a university should be embarrassed...
@@christopherbarnett4444They did that on purpose to slow us down. The guys who got injured should sue them.
@@christopherbarnett4444 its called home field advantage..yall should of brought longer cleats..thats poor planning on your part!
I hate it for that kid that got hurt, but you can blame your own team and university for his career likely being over because of that cow pasture field that was intentionally made that way because they thought it was an advantage over us
@@glennk5434it's called shit sportsman ship and it cost one your kids possibly his career getting hurt. Good for you and the sooners
Vol fan here. Chin up, Sooners! Your defense is great. There's a lot of hope for Hawkins as QB. You may need to replace your OC or Venables to get a good OL in place, but it's all fixable. Wishing your injured players speedy recoveries and good luck moving forward.
Hawkins had 12 snaps against Temple prior to this. There is absolutely nothing bad to say about him stepping in tonite. He can only become more effective with starting reps.
I expected OU to look like they did last time OHIO STATE was in Norman ! -- But is TENN not as good as we thought they were (?) -- or -- is OU's D just this elite ? -- Could be a bit of both and not all one sided ?!? -- -- -- But -- did you see Georgia @ Kentucky -?- Was also something terrible if your a Georgia fan ? > Texas is scary right now.
could be a guy returning home and calling off the dogs. He was in tears at the end of the game. Ran three straight times 3 times could have ran up the score
Everyone on this offensive staff should be on the hot seat. I don't care if they played at OU. This staff isn't getting it done.
You all need a new field
As a Vols fan, I've been saying Oklahoma is a good football team for months, and I stand by it. I think what's impressive on our side is how many mistakes and missed blocking assignments we had, and we still won pretty comfortablely vs an elite defense and good coaching staff.
you guys are spot on when you say that these guys dont look like they should be playing for OU on the O-line. But honestly the entire offense feels that way. This is the first season where i cant name a single stand out player on the offense. Theres no one that i can say hey just get him the ball and he will get you something. Its bad.
Its gonna be bad also because if i was on that defense and i had to deal with my offense not doing anything with what we do id be so pissed. Its not fair for them to be so good and hae an offense that couldnt score on a division 2 team.
Heupel basically shut his offense down in the 2nd half or it wouldn't have been close ! I guess he didn't want to embarrasse his Alma Mater !
Okies should thank him!
I don't think Josh has any desire to show his whole hand against OU unless truly needed. Save that for Bama and GA. This game has a good spin and back story will their "Welcome to SEC" and Josh, but that doesnt make them some rival for us. (nor does Josh want it to be) We just took care of business and went home to Rocky Top.
Maybe but I think it was to limit his injuries. He lost both OT and OU was hitting ur QB. But whatever makes you feel better
Im an Auburn fan and enjoy your rebound against us in our house next week. sigh lol It's a shame we cant give you the welcome I wish we could have.
Some absolutely crazy takes on this one boys…. damn
Great atmosphere. Welcome to the sec. OK defense is for real. So is UTs. Both teams just kinda floated around offensively. Ok has been battered by injuries. And UT was down both of their starting tackles. And that’s the one area we have 0 depth. So considering that I’m glad to get out of Norman’s a road win in sec. I’ll take it everytime. I’m sure this is just the first of many slugfests between the Bols and Sooners
Unfortunately OU doesn’t have a quarterback, or an offensive line. I love OU, Brent Ven, just the way things worked out. May take a year or two, we will compete...Boomer Sooner, always loved Josh, liked Tennessee since I was a kid, I’m 67 now. Both Great programs, glad to see Josh successful, not surprised. Glad to be in SEC. Boomer!
Bob Stoops - defensive coach - went out and hired the best offensive mind he could find over and over.
BV - defensive coach - needs to do the same.
I’m at the point with the ENTIRE offensive staff (save Emmett Jones), that they seem too comfortable or something. Joe Jon, Demarco, Bedenbaugh, Litrell, all of them have absolutely SUCKED. How do we not have a dominant tight end? A dominant running back? A dominant offensive line? This is freaking Oklahoma! It’s embarrassing.
Nah don't put Demarco in there. It's not his fault that the O-line can get shit open for our running backs. Also I love BB but this shit is pathetic. I don't think we fire him. His track record is too good. Also the recruits he has coming in we can't lose if we fire him.
I thought Schmitty was supposed to make these guys bigger and stronger. These guys don't look like they could block the cheerleaders.
Overrated coach like oline and Rb coaches
tenn may be the best dl ok plays all year..
@@creepycrespi8180 Texas, Ole Miss and Bama have better D-lines, but Tenn is definitely up there.
@@JB-sc1tg you guys got a tough schedule. welcome to the sec.
How tf is it Schmiddy fault that Biedenbough sucks?
Why on earth did Arnold keep the ball on the fumble inside the 10??? I think,that was a read/option. It looked like the rb could walk in on the side
When evaluating oc's how do you decide if its because the coach has better players than opposing team or coaching developed them and scheme them to be better?
Josh is slowly building Nico up. OU definitely has elite defense so to not tear Nico down you run it. Luckily for us OU didn't force us to have Nico actually have to make some tough decisions.
A lot of your fans bragging pregame about the national championships, heisman trophy winners and "heritage". How'd that help you? To the fans who were gracious yet competitive, kudos to you! You're what makes football fun! I like your team, I hate your field, but will be pulling for you to win every game from here out! Go Big Orange! 🍊
This was spot on. Joe Jon Finley has no business being an OC at this point. Way over his head. Same with Littrell. Terribly under prepared.
The ignorance of preparation in the last couple years to develop OLinemen for GAME situations is very glaring.
Defense is solid. Special teams, outside of punter, looks troubling.
This OL could not block my grandma. 😮😮😮😮.poor evaluation of players
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.
Seth Littrell's scheme isn't terrible. Seth Littrell's ability to get his players to execute plays properly is terrible.
It's time to bring Cale back in some role to help out. Whether as a QB coach, analyst, whatever.
@derek17005. OU is now completely "woke". Cale read aloud the "n" word written in a sentence on a player's iPad and was shamed into resigning his position. The looney left will make certain he never coaches at OU again.
He said he is not interested in coming back.
Give the Tennessee Defense credit. They are a Top 1-5 Defense in the Nation. Tennessee was also without their Starting Left and Right Tackle on Offense last night.
Welcome to the injury party..LOL!
I think any defense would have looked good against our offensive failures, but only time will tell.
Miriam- give OU’s defense some credit - - - be honest now, that’s the most worried you’ve been about the outcome - - - isn’t it.
Vol fan here I think your defense is elite and that the rest of the SEC better put some respect on it. Yall are going to do well IMO.
My predicted score was off, but the outcome was exactly what I thought it would be.
OU defense is better than I thought.
Good job for OU, but that's life in the SEC.
You guys making the transfer linemen feel really good, they evidently were recruited to transfer to OU, if they are not the best you have then you have coaches that can’t develop or recruit quality players. Think we need to give Tennessee some credit too, they made as many mistakes as we did plus we didn’t have near as many penalties as Vols did.
Did they do anything for coach Hueple and that 2000 team at half time? I heard they were going to.
I saw the real DEION BURKS tonight; DEION BURKS was frustrated and i don't believe he is truly hurt HE QUIT! BOTTOM LINE, when he saw that they were struggling and NIC ANDERSON went out with that injury and JACKSON ARNOLD was a deer in the headlights , im telling you that DEION BURKS quit on the team with that fake injury because he saw that he was doing it by himself and i hate that i even look at it that way because i love DEION BURKS but he quit on the team .... JUST STAY TUNED!
Good Game regardless. Welcome to the SEC. Think OUs culture is definitely SEC. You had us in 2015 in another good game w a lot more to come between the two schools for sure.
Vol for Life here. OU's defense was outstanding and Hawkins very impressive. I'm just a casual student of the game, no expert, but it looks to me like some of the pieces are there including no quit/will to win. Yes this was disappointing if you're a Sooner, but you all are tough.
Now beat that imposter UT school from Austin.
Thank You. Much respect to the Vols from a sooner fan. You guys are legit.
Vol here proud of my team. My opinion on ou doesn't matter to you all but hawkins has to be the guy. I thought it was disrespectful to bring Arnold back in for that late td handoff trying to salvage him a bright spot
Absolutely
The reason Arnold came back on was cause our trainers were checking on Hawkins after the previously play so by rule he had to sit 1 play out
Gabe Ikard tore into Seth’s lack of a game plan and play call strategy. At what point does BV replace him as play caller and if so who realistically steps in mid season?
I'm a big orange fan. But olkahoma played a damn good defensive game.
We didn't see Andrel Anthony all night either even though he was cleared to play.
If you fix that shitty field you won't have all those players getting hurt
We got beat fair and square and honestly Heup could have poured it on more. This team is who it is. They may be actually making a breakthrough with the cast of characters playing in the fourth quarter. Pettway, Hawkins looked good. Just start looking at positives regardless. The defense is awesome.
Vols fan here, I honestly think Hawkins should get a chance to be QB1 with his performance. The guy was fearless and has a ton of potential.
Heupel absolutely changed his offense! Tennessee ran the ball 52 times out of 71 plays! That’s the most runs in the Heupel era at UT! I’m a die hard Tennessee fan and even though we won I hated the offense he was running out there tonight!
Venables needs to for his offensive coordinator. The guy has had plenty of time to work out the bugs. The offensive line was clueless. Jackson Arnold was clueless too. OH yeah! I forgot the Arnold fumble on the Vol's 5-yard-line! Unbelievable! The defense sets you up and you fumble the damn ball away on one play!
They need to ditch the RPO all together. They need to stay in a 2 back set to add extra blockers and more run blocking options.
