Josh! I’ve been watching since 2020 and am a big fan of the show. I watch the full VOD live and was wondering if it’s better for you guys if I pop into the individual cuts to like and then exit or if that’s too much of a hit on the click through rate/ watch time. Go freights, go vols, keep up the good work! Much love from PA!
Wild stat from this game: NC State converted three third downs on their first drive They didn’t convert another one the ENTIRE GAME. Awesome to see how much our defense has improved over time.
Going to take an elite D-line to contain this offense. GA may be the only team that can do that this year, but Oklahoma will be the real "where we at?" game. GBO!!
I live in Tulsa, but I’m a Vols fan and grad student. Their sports talk radio today was beyond depressing. I think OU will be a tough test in Norman, but they’re already terrified to see their piecemeal offensive line try to stop our front 7.
Yea, it will be interesting to see how we compete against Bama, Oklahoma, and Georgia. They all have comparable, and in a few cases far better recruiting classes. As a vols fan, I'm just happy to see progress, and improvement. I'm happy with 10-2, but if we can beat Georgia. I will be a believer.
This game was not an aberration. NCSU was not a very good team. They had all kinds of trouble with WCU. Tennessee is a very good team but this win is no where indicative of greatness. UT at this point has played two weak sisters so far. I think the question against good quality competition is very relevant.
I think the offense had to do with NCST 3-3-5. Kept stuff in front and crowded many vertical throwing lanes. But that means they could get the ball ran down their throat and the Vols did just that.

Hey Josh, subscribed, and watch you every week. You were spot on this game. Great show!!
@ianmcgaughey1 Banks defense have never been bad based on what he got when he took over. He has grown the defense each year. He is an excellent Defensive Coordinator. GBO!
All these people who do rankings and such, just refuse to see Bama for what they are now. They are nearly COMPLETELY rebuilt. Even Saban got a rude awakening at Alabama his first year. That game against South Florida was 14-13 AT THE END OF THE 3rd QUARTER! And I can't remember the last time USF was EVER ranked... So, then the people who do these rankings keeps them at #4??? I'm sorry, I've been saying this since before the season began and I will again. I see Bama losing to, in this order, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, and if they're not careful LSU...AT LSU... So, I'll revisit this post in about 7-8 weeks. And none of this is directed at you, Josh. Good channel. Keep it up!
Year 1 was getting the footing underneath the program again. Year 2 was the flash of what could be with a deep and experienced team who have grown in the system. Year 3 was the changing of the guard to more of Huep's new recruits. This year (year 4) is the first time that we have been ridiculously deep with personnel who are, at the minimum, moderately experienced and familiar with the system that Huep himself wanted. If not this year, oh boy next year is gonna be a fun ride.
@@Kevin_TN true but I think they were starting to drop with Saban a little near the end. The changes in the sport have hurt their ability to dominant like they have in the past. They are still very good and can still win a National Title, they just have legit contenders now like Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, etc. In fact, they aren't the front runner, Georgia is.
That is not the SEC championship 🤣. Texas is still in this conference and Texas GA and Bama last I check all have elite roster. You might beat one but can you beat two?
@@erichill7603with how Texas looked against Michigan as a Tennessee fan I don’t see us competing with them or georgia. So far, bama definitely looks as an attainable win and so does Oklahoma. But, with our schedule this could potentially be a 1 loss regular season
My Georgia fan buddy said he watched a little of the game. Said all he saw Tennessee throwing is t all over the field missing receivers. I just laughed.
This will be the true test for the Vols - can they keep this momentum going, or do they choke a game they shouldn’t lose? If they are able to beat Florida & Bama, and at least make it competitive against UGA, that’s a good year, but if they lose to Florida, Bama & UGA, it’s the same old Vols. (From a Vols fan)
It appears to me that Nico has a good head on his shoulders; I wondered how he’d come out in this game after having such success in the last. We’ll find out in OK for sure.
Heupel was dealing with scholarship reductions from Prewits shenanigans. That drastically affected how he shaped his roster. He doesn’t have scholarship restrictions now and can snap the roster how he wants. It is showing in all phases of the game this season.
@@kyliewhylie We do have scholarship reductions but its only 2 each year for the next 3 years I believe, TN took that major hit in scholarship reductions during Heupel's first year, where I think they self-imposed a 12-scholarship reduction that year.
I tend to think at the end of the game Dave Dorean went for more high risk high reward plays that probably gave us a better shot of winning but made the score what it was. Mostly the going for it on 4th down. I think the 51 points makes the defense look worse than it was and I am happy about a lot of what we did there, especally the picks. However, the offense just looked so unbelivably anemic after that pick 6. Tennessee is the real deal.
Here's an interesting stat of how Tennessee has become elite in all phases of the game. In the last 15 games, Tennessee has punted 61 times. Total punt returns: 8 Total punt return yards: 4
Dude there special team numbers are insane and am over looked aspect of their dominance.I rem seeing punt and kick off return numbers and thinking they had to be some mistake cause it was insanity...
The way they turn over that defense to keep guys fresh is gonna be a problem. I think this game was a red herring, meaning state isn't as good as advertised. But I still think that defense has a shot to be really good.
If Tennessee does something even REMOTELY similar to this in 2 weeks in Norman, OK… Tennessee goes 11-1, POSSIBLY even 12-0! I personally believe Bama goes down either way this year at Neyland, but I’m still not sure how the game in Athens will go just yet. Still thinking GA wins that one, but Tennessee may make ‘em earn it this year! GBO!!!🍊 (PS: DON’T overlook that Arkansas game!😬)
@Berley_1234Yeah fr, I love what I have seen so far but as a Tennessee fan people need to slow down and just need to take it one game at a time. 12-0 11-1 is wild after winning 2 games
@ryanstewart2070 11 and 1 with our schedule is not wild at all 😂😂😂 our defense has proven themselves and our offense is good enough to score on anyone and our defense is good enough to stop even the best and Stat wise that's facts not a dream at all 😂😂😂
@@jonathanlawson4667 you came away with the conclusion your offense can’t be stopped by anyone and your defense can stop any one because they did good vs Chattanooga and nc state 😂😂😂😂😂
One think that Nico MUST do is not stare down his primary receiver. The two picks that he threw he stared down the receiver the whole route. If he just uses his head and eyes better and not allow dbs to jump his routes.
Yeah you’re an idiot. lol. The first one he thought Bru was going to keep running and go for it. The second one his arm was hit and it went straight up.
Tennessee played about a 7/10 game. That's defense 9/10 and Offense 6/10. I hope that scares other teams. I'm a Tennessee fan that is just so excited in our team, bais and all, but i promise that this will be Nicos worst stat line in his entire college career and Tennessee won by 41.
You guys also know what they're doing and now after the show a lot of people will take Tennessee and lose their money😅 it's all gravy though that's part of the game
Who's beating Tennessee??? It's certainly not Oklahoma Arkansas or bama!!!! Georgia will be a loss more than likely since it's at their house but Tennessee will be in the playoffs I'd put money on that
It was a game until the pick six . Could have easily been tied at halftime. Shocking was putting 41 points up in a little more then a half . And Nico was really good . The 1st pick was almost perfect . If reciever kept at full speed it's a touchdown . Easy . The tipped bowl just happens. Oklahoma going to a great game .
Ive been fussing for 2 years on every tenn talk show our offence is good but defense was bad an you cant win without defense look at the teams that win it all always have a great defense
They didn't only beat NC state they dominated the Complete game in their finish the South stays the most consistent in the conference we have displayed the last 35 years on the field not being hype up in media talk of a overrated conference many programs have came except the South 🐎
Tell me you didn’t watch the game without telling me. They held 31.5 mins of possession. Ran the ball and relied on the short passing game. States defense ran a 3-3-5 defense. TN is a very balanced team that can beat you in a number of ways.
Pretty average for ncstate, every year is supposed to be thier year, even much so with this one…. And they suck.. again. Ncstate throws a championship type celebration when they have a 9 win season with a bowl Loss. Typical Wolfpack behavior
Same Tennessee as they always have been. Look great, build up fan base for "longing greatness", however.....BAMA and Georgia will shatter their dreams, take their lunch money, steal their girlfriend (only the pretty one) and make them bendover and COUGH on a Cold Rockytop.

Vols are playing great right now. Don’t forget what Texas did at Michigan. I think UGA, TN, TX look like the 3 best teams.
Yeah and Ohio state they defense is legit
The final score is going to be even worse when we roll into Norman
Don’t get cocky now
@@beesting5693 but they are. This is Heupel’s revenge game with Stoops watching from the press box.

UT at this point has played two weak sisters so far. I think the question against good quality competition is very relevant.
NC State was looking around asking the refs to throw a flag because they felt Tennessee had too many men on defense, lol.
That 2 tight end package was the perfect counter to that 3-3-5 defense.
I have a strong feeling Tennessee and Georgia will be playing twice this year.
Very likely
Maybe 3 times👀👀👀 GBO

As a long time Vol fan, i'll admit the air is rarefied. It's enjoyable watching the ptess. GBO!
10-2 is the floor if they beat Oklahoma in 2 weeks.
Tennessee's DL and OL are what is going to lead this team to a championship
Thank you for taking about Tennessee Josh we appreciate it
Listen, those three 3rd down conversions, i'm PRETTY SURE, came in NC State's first drive of the game...
Correct.
After watching that first drive I said "Here we go again with Tim Banks' shitty defense" but I was wrong. They played well, hopefully they keep it up
