I hate these talking points lol. "Dont want to go 3 and out against TN". Really...what team DO you want to go 3 and out on? Thats like saying "The key is to score more points" 😂😂

[genewoodward]

This will be the 1st years in a long time that Tennessee with have a real chance to win all 12 games.

Tennessee is going to go even further than they did with rubbing in how good they are with the onside kick against Kent State. In this game, they're going to let the offensive players play defense and the defensive players play offense. And still win by fiddy.

I’m a Tennessee fan and the closer this game gets the more nervous I am about it. I mean the disrespect the media is giving OU & the overconfidence my Tennessee fans has is so thick you can cut it with a knife. The more I look at this game the more it feels like 2023 S. Carolina.
I know Ye of Little Faith

I got faith in oklahoma since we got a defense now, as long as the offense can move the ball

[rustyrussell]

Proud to say that I'm a Tennessee I know we've had a easy schedule that was made years ago (and then got changed as a result of the SEC merger of OU and Can't hold that against us - It has kept us healthy and allowed us to work out the bugs for If you’ve watched what’s going on in our games…. We've been playing “VANILLA” on Offense and Defense with a sprinkle here and there as briefly as possible. BUT, I think we just have too many ways to score 3 DEEP (Not just Sampson) in running backs and 6-7 different quality We can just score too many ways.... Not to mention the D-Line that we We may beat OU by 17-20 or VOLS by 17+ ! GBO!

Did this dude really say they’ve been struggling defensively? What games has he been watching 😂

[nate]

OU might be able to hold Tennessee to the low 30’s but can’t manage to get into the 20’s on offense.

[TwitcyTrain]

The weird music that cues every time there’s a highlight is funny.

[campbell]

Texas and Oklahoma are not SEC teams. They can keep giving us millions of dollars, which we thank them for, but that doesn't make them a part of the SEC.

[tiptopperdagrasshopper]

So what if OU causes turnovers when they go 3 and out? TN's defense will buffer those turnovers and punts.

[davidholmes]

I think the last 2 ranked teams Tennessee played (neutral site), Iowa & NC State, UT scored a total of 86 and gave up 10 points. Impressive really. OU at home should be favored though, so I'm wondering why not? I saw the Houston and Tulane games. Tennessee's players haven't even played a full game yet, so that's weird. If OU gets help with penalties and turnovers they have a shot to win at home. Straight up, UT looks more efficient. Could be a classic!

[triumphrider]

Tennessee is the most over-rated team in the country now that Notre Dame and Michigan fell in the rankings. Their QB is about to find out what a DEFENSE is. He's hasn't faced one all year.
OU 28, TN 20. BOOMER!!!

[xavierm]

Volunteers are running over the Sooners! 😂

[jamesconner]

Not knowing what a first-string lineup is for OU, I just have to say there sure is a lot of talk about injuries. If both lines are that injured, there may be a question as to how those lines will play, even if some starters are back.

Does OU have secret starting teams that are so good they have been held back, just to spring at their first SEC game, and at home, and against Heupel ???? I think they better hope so...;)).

[Deeeee______]

dude said we struggled defensively hahahaha Greg stays not knowing ball

[TRYHARDVOLSFAN]

Nico’s mistake wasn’t pivotal. Now, that’s because the team around him was so good, and the competition so overmatched that it didn’t matter. But not pivotal nonetheless

[unirm]

Vegas has this game around 7, so does most betting odds. Who is saying its going to be a bigger spread? I mean, it could be, and lots of potential to be, but thats if TN blows out the Sooners, and there is no real look of it going the other way

[marcwryals]

Tennessee is getting to play their first real team

[joshuawhite]

Im a Vol fan and i believe Oklahoma is alot better than they have been looking. I think they have been playing possum or sandbagging to not show all they have. Becauze when they had to play gokd against a decent team (Tulane) they jumped all over them by 24 points. Tulane qould smash any team we (vols) have plaued this year. Im worried about this game.
