Could Tennessee be this year's Oklahoma, the defense-first team that makes the Playoff?
Read on BlueskyOklahoma can't fire Brent Venables because he gets an extension every 10 minutes. But I would fire either the coordinator or the GM, whichever one is chiefly responsible for this guy being their QB in year of our god 2026
Read on BlueskyUpdate: Stein indeed went for it. Cats failed. Then Oklahoma went three-and-out, punted. Moral of the story: Crazy decisions depending on the ineptitude of the Oklahoma offense are not crazy.
Read on BlueskyFar be it to doubt Will Stein, but is he really going to go for it rather than kick a field goal to go up 17-13 on Oklahoma? Does he realize he's playing Oklahoma's offense?

As the program counts them in its Wikipedia article, shared titles included, and listed under each conference’s current name (a Western Conference title of the 1900s counts as a Big Ten title); season pages use the name the conference had that year. A title the article files under a conference the team wasn’t in that season is listed under the one it was. Division titles include years the team tied for its division.
