All I'm asking is for Texas to win by triple digits.

That's my grown up Christmas wish.

With our offense lately, I'm not sure we can grant that wish. We may, however, be able to shut out Clemson with how our defense has been lately

^18^Clemson @ ^2^Texas

May the best orange team win (there is only one correct answer as to which orange is best)

These Coke commercials look AI generated.

They look terrible!

"Ref!! Texas isn't allowed to tackle our players!!!"

Dabo, probably

Ugh, what a disastrous turn of events. The INT sucks, but if we lost Majors that's even worse. Can't lose 2 O-linemen in one game...

3

The play where he fell down for a loss of 4 instead of throwing it away? Not sure. I think his ankle probably hurts more than he lets on, but I don't want to make excuses for his decision making trending down over the season

3

We should have taken the FG there. With how they stopped the last 2 rush plays, I knew we weren't going to pick up the 4th down with more of the same

Only started watching at half time. Did Texas dominate the 1st half because the score was 28-10?

2

Yes. We even gave them the ball once and turned over on downs but our defense was stifling. This half... well, you can see who has the momentum

3

Remember though that the whistle is actually totally arbitrary and has no bearing on the status of play

Signed, a Vol that remembers

^5^SMU @ ^4^Penn State

White outs at Happy Valley are always rad. Too bad it can't be a night game (like, how much colder is it at night than during the day anyway?)

4

SMU looking like they're desperate, not playing their game

3

Pick six for the Nittany Lions. This feels like it's shaping up to be like last night's game. I just want the underdogs to be competitive, man...

2

SMU very much looking like they're just happy to be here. PSU looking like they're here to party.

2

LOL, Penn State going for it on 4th and long. Although, it gives SMU a long field anyway so it's not an atrocious call

1

Ok... So maybe SMU never was the team to beat Clemson 😕

1

1:03 left on the clock. Enough time for Penn State to get a pick 6.

When Herbie mentioned at the top of the broadcast that this is the most he's ever seen of a visitor team's colors in the shoe, that kind of blew my mind. Props to vol nation

Good god. I thought I had settled down to watch the game but family intervenes. How is it 21-0 early 2nd Q???

Exactly what I worried would happen did. We don't tend to look good on the road in big games and Chip/the buckeye Oline got their act together and they've simply got a better roster. Tbh we've kinda got our act together, but it was literally the worst possible start.

Damn I thought Tennessee had a tough front 7. So Ohio State's O-line is controlling the game? Didn't think that would happen. From looking at the stats, Buckeyes' D-line is also dominating. Damn.

1

It's not that we aren't getting pressure, rather their OL is keeping is keeping us off Howard for long enough for osus wr freaks to do their thing

I watched maybe 2 or 3 Tenn games all season. I don't ever remember seeing their QB run. But here he's running very 4th play it seems.

2
lemmy.world

I didn't think he had it by a lot in live speed, but this is actually tight

1

Finally something going for y'all. I was about to put a fork in this game because I can't stand to watch an Ohio State

2

Man, I didn't foresee this. I thought this would be a tight game.

1

Well that was a decision by Clemson to run on 4th and 1 with a tight formation. Why not spread them out?

3

Yeah. The middle schools they play against are usually easier for them to manhandle.

I can't get over what an easy path Penn State has to semis. Come on, seriously?
