Wow, a comment from an actual auburn alumnus.

@@sam21462 The coach knows he is responsible and can always lose his job. I have been a Auburn for a long time. I am 68 years old and always pulled for Auburn. Most of my family has been to Alabama, so many cousins are for them but not me..

No. You're missing the point. It doesn't matter what qualifiers he used after the fact. It's in very poor taste to blame your players. It's a clear attempt to deflect blame, as in: "I did my job, but the players screwed up." That may very well be true. Coaches can't control what happens on the field. BUT...the etiquette of coaching dictates that you take the high road. And there's a practical aspect of it too. How do you think his QB and RBs feel now? They feel betrayed, because these are matters to be explored in the locker room, not in the media.

@@jakemitchell1671 he literally said that himself and the coaching staff haven’t done a good enough job coaching the players how is that deflecting blame

@@la-fetwalkswithChrist Ok. I don't like arguing on TH-cam. I simply stated an opinion. I'm probably wrong and you and others are almost certainly right.

These folks just want views they don’t care about the truth

Doesn't matter what else he said. You just don't rub salt in open wounds. Players need to know their coach has their back. These matters should be handled in house, not in the media. Just ask yourself, "Why would Freeze say these things to the media?"

@@jakemitchell1671 as someone who knows that they don’t have the football understanding of a college football head coach I have no clue why he said it but it’s not to the extent that you people are saying

They should. But not in the media. These matters should be addressed in the locker room and in team meetings. There is absolutely no reason to hash this out in front of fans. It's just an effort to deflect blame off of him. I'm a Rebel fan who lived through the Freeze debacle. Everyone knew his Christian, holier than thou persona hid a self-centered narcissist. He left our program in ruins, and it's likely he will do the same with Auburn.

And it still was a 10 point game!

This has to be a joke right? Trolling? The OU offense & O-Line has looked terrible all year. I guess Houston has a defense like Tennessee’s? At least do a little research before you talk down to someone & call them bud 😂😂. Even OU fans admitted beforehand

A turnover is a turnover. Of course they are earned in any circumstance. The point was you got 2 turnovers in plus territory & scored 0 points off it. I know as fans we try to critique every little thing that is said, but you gotta look at the big picture of what’s being said. I don’t read a script, so not everything is gonna sound so perfect. I would rather make content with authenticity of who I am & how I feel & sometimes that rubs people the wrong way if you don’t look at what’s being said overall. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

​@@BamaFootballTalk oh no, it didn't rub me the wrong way or anything. I wasn't pissed off or anything, I was just curious about the two different descriptions of the fumbles was all. Have a good one

Yes I did. Such a bad hire from Auburns side, but as a Bama fan I love it 😂. But this was wild how he just called them out. Thanks for comment & Roll Tide!

@@BamaFootballTalk Josh Pate kinda defended Freeze, saying he was right, and that within context he also said "we need to coach 'em better". But it's still super dumb to blame players even "within context" because those clips get shown, go viral, etc, and potential recruits will see them.

I’ll be honest, didn’t pay attention to the TE’s. I’ll have to go look at that now lol. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

They gotta figure something out on that offense or it's going to be a long year. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

Hands down the best comment on this video LOL. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

Defense don't mean nothing if your offense can't move the ball

OU defense is ELITE & I don't think anyone is doubting that, but there are so many things wrong with the offense it's scary. Hope you enjoyed the video & Roll Tide

Do you think you are going to win every game 2-0?

Until you do it, you can sit down LOL. Last time I checked Tennessee is 1-16 in the last 17 games. You beat a team with zero offense, congrats. Next you can brag about beating Auburn or Vanderbilt, but whens the last time Tennessee won the SEC East? SEC Championship? been to the playoffs or won a championship? There are kids graduating high school that haven't even smelled success from Tennessee football LOL. At least win something first before acting like you've never won before AHAHAHAHA.

@@BamaFootballTalk keep referencing the past it's the bama way when your time comes. remember this conversation over the next decade every time you talk about what saban did. 1-15, 2-15, 3-15, lol see you in a few weeks

Ditto😊

And i'm gonna love it when Alabama wins it LOL. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

I think time will tell, but at the moment, it doesn't look good. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

Haven't heard that before lol. Roll Tide

Answered below, thanks again for the comment

I think they are slightly. I don't like what NC brings to the table & Tulane consistently plays up to stronger competition, where as NC State constantly gets the benefit of the doubt to just turn around & get blown out half the season. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

He did play a lot against 2nd string & he definitely brings a slightly different dynamic than Jackson Arnold.

I like it LOL. Roll Tide!

Roll Tide!

I can't completely agree. I don't think Tennessee had their 2nd string in for the end of the second quarter all the way to the end of the game. maybe by the end of the 3rd, but I definitely saw starters in the 2nd & 3rd quarter. Hawkins brought energy & a sense of urgency. Was he going to beat Tennessee, absolutely not, but he was a little impressive being a freshman & tossed into that situation. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

OU didn’t score until the 8 min mark and less than two minutes left in the 4th quarter so that was 3rd string defense he scored against.

@@dreday7530 Yep, actually more 4th string than I thought. I was lookin at some of the players out there at DB and saw names we haven't seen since the Chattanooga game. Lots of new DB's, Imagine Heupel deciding to go conservative and take his foot off the gas and OU fans think this was a cometitive game. lol Mercy not even realizing Hawkins got went 3 3-and outs against the 1st and 2nd string. But love their hearts they love their team and bet there i sn't a football season goes by they don't wish they stood up for Heapel and demanded Bob Stoops kept Heupel.

@@dreday7530 That last scoring drive was the drive we got a ridiculous roughing the passer penality, like a hand grazing by the helmet. If that's wasn't called, drive over and that score doesn't happen. Also by this time we were in pretty soft coverage, no reason to send blitzs or anything special that late on a wet field that shouldn't have been wet. All in all, a chess win where the game was decided by halftime. Hope OU can go out there and beat AU next week thought.

150 isn't stopping the run, it''s slowing it at best and TN ran well enough to move the ball even when going totally conservative in the second half offensively and sending in the backsup on D for the second half. Anytime you can hold any offense of team and program like OU at home is a great feat. Bet ya money UGA won't have the same dominance defensivly against OU. JH absolutely let up offensively and went conservative. Can you not tell the difference in their schemes?? Also 4th and 1 from the OU and he chooses FG instead of just getting the one yard and the score? LOL Due, what planet are you from. Heupel goes for this 100% of the time, especially against an offense that is zero threat to score on him. IF this wasn't OU and his respect for his former fans, he could have gone for the throat. But no need to. kick the FG, your defense ended this game in the second quarter, just run the ball from here on out and that's what he did. NO tempo, that's your first clue, TN was done showing anymore playbook . JH went conservative, not so save the game, was never indoubt but to prevent inuries on a wet field that was slick that had zero business being like that. All the slipping and sliding was indicative of a little gamesmanship by OU. Noticed they had on their weather cleats which are longer than what TN was using. And why risk doing anything more dynamic than you need to. Why risk that also when you have two starting O'line men out? Campball did the best he could, Dane Davis as well filling in. No garbage time TD's were going to do anything in this game.

OU did a great job against Tennessee's offense, but we knew it came down to the front 7 of Tennessee against the OU O-Line. That was going to determine the pace of the game. OU doesn't have 1 problem on offense, it has multiple including a bad O-Line, questionable starting QB, bad play calling, injuries at WR & that is just the obvious we know about. I don't think anyone is doubting OU's defense, I didn't see anyone that did. It was about that offense. Thanks for commenting & Roll Tide

Heupel did let up. It would have been a silly risk to keep throwing when the game was in hand. OU got totally dominated and allowing 150 rushing isnt stopping the run. Welcome to the SEC.👍🏻

TN fans, "Heupel took his foot off the gas, went conservative, game already won". OU fans, "No he didn't!" lol. Heupel, "We went conservative and let off". lol

Wow, the coping is real. Go back and watch again. Tennessee throttled Hawkins just as hard as they did Arnold up until the last seven minutes when they put in backup linebackers and went to soft zone prevent. Not to mention that one of his TD drives should have ended in a scoop and score for Tennessee that was negated by a BS roughing the passer call. OU had negative net offense from the first possession Hawkins was in the game to the 8 minute mark.

You weren't a serious enough threat on offense for us to even go dynamic or keeping putting the ball up and on a wet trashy field. No need to when your no threat offensively to win the game. Second half, we jsut lined up and ran, and ran the clock, take the FG's, ran zero tempo. It' a humilaiting way to lose a game but why risk anything in your QB's first road true road test. Plus, we had two backup O'line guys in at tackles. Why risk them twising an angle or injury doing something more dyanmic you don't need to do in order to just win the game. I mean we didn't even go for it on 4th and 1 from the OU 18! lol. Easily could have cause if we don't make it, that crappy offense is starting at the 18 lol. So we pulled our starters on boht sides of the ball in the second half early on. Sure, we could have risked it and scored 40. If we scored from the 18 that's nearly 30 right there. OU's D is good, not better than TN's but I'd say top 4 SEC. Also, Hawkins again saw our 4th and few walks and playing soft coverage by TN's D. He didn't see anything like TN's 1st string. lol The one play we rushed more than 4, Hawkins was buried. So, give it a few games, see if Arnold improves. Play them both.

Tennessee slowed down after halftime & Heupel even said he slowed the pace down. That game could have been worse for sure! And no you don't have the toughest schedule, that belongs to Florida easily lol. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide

@@BamaFootballTalk had to Nico was hitting the ground and giving up the ball. We have a top 5 defense. JH kept 8 men in the box the whole 4th quarter. 15x with the ball, 9 three and out. Please, TN lost the OL and JH didn't want to lose his QB. We know JH better than you do. He wanted to run it up, we taught him.

Hawkins did good against our back ups Yal just booty whooped

@@mygunsweetness oh yeah you really taught him. Hawkins played against several backups. Just take the L and sit down

I don’t know about that lol. Tennessee clearly slowed the game down & Heupel even said it post game. But he would have given OU a better chance in my opinion. Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide!

Bro, dream on. Hawkins was playing against TN's soft coverage 4th string lol. And he needed a BS roughing the passer call to keep his drive going. He also went had 3 3 and outs against the backups. lol. Stop it.. If we had kept our starters in on defense Hawkins wouldn't have gotten ten yards lol. So in other words, you were so much, not a threat offensively that we opted to go conservatize, just run the ball, punt, FG, no score, score, no matter, cause OU was no threat offensively after we wer eup 3 or 4 scores. Why risk injury on crappy slick fields? No reason. Finally? We've only ever played what, 3 games and it's been a decade lol

LOL. The backup saw prevent defense nearly the entire time he was in. He had heart but he looked like he was trying to get concussed out there.

@@gwhite7136 heupel was scared of getting hurt by the OU defense, peasant

He played backups

I knew the offense wasn't doing well, but this was BAD. I didn't know it was to this level. The play calling has been this bad all season? Thanks for the comment & support for the channel

@@BamaFootballTalk yup as ou fan it's been bad look up our last 2 games

@@BamaFootballTalk good job on your channel

You knew better than me lol. Hope you enjoyed the video & thanks for the comment. Roll Tide

Exposed 😂😂😂 where have you been. We sucked last 3 games before this one

He definitely looked a lot better than Arnold for sure! Thanks for the comment & Roll Tide!

lol stop we held back don’t play yourself

Tennessee went into a prevent, Hawkins best play was our DB slipped on that dog shit field.

Puff puff pass

Nico completed a higher percentage of passes, had more yards, lead bigger drives. But yeah, he was statistically worse lmao. Casual analysis is embarrassing. I’d delete this if I were you

Move what goal post? It’s an opinion, not stated fact. Subjective opinions are just that lol.

@@BamaFootballTalk yeah I get it, just ruffling feathers a wee bit, it is sports you are supposed to...lol

100% agree & love it 😂😂. Thanks for the comment & support!

@@BamaFootballTalk By stats, no, it's fact. TN's D is better than OU's. At least through 4 weeks of football.

That it was lol
