21 Point Face Mask Penalty

[Volador]

Such a shame that an inadvertent face mask penalty on Ohio States first drive wound up costing us 21 immediate points, and probably the ball game. We had them stopped on their first drive (which is what CJH and team pray about) and well, this is a "what if" the hand didn't connect with the face mask question? Momentum means a lot in sports and my gut says that while the eventual outcome might have been the same, the game could have been (much) closer.

Proud of this team and the coaches for another 10 Win Season. Now we have to work on getting considerably better for next Fall because you can bet that Bama, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma and the rest of our opponents will be improving their rosters and coaching staffs.

Go Vols

The no call on the blatant pass interference was a critical moment as well

I get what you’re saying. We let em off the hook on that first drive.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Yes, it was a game changing mistake for sure.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

We've been undisciplined all year. Shouldnt be a shock that it continued in the biggest moment....

 

[Volhoops]

It was the first quarter of the game and this team did not perform well at all in the first half of every SEC game except Vandy. If you can't fix that then we have seen the ceiling for this staff.

OK fired their OC mid season. Heupel ain’t firing anybody.

The near fumble on the exchange by the qb/rb and the near punt muff we’re also near game changers that didn’t quite bounce our way

21 points. Quite the math.

It was more of the same that’s always killed us. Refuse to cover the flat. Can’t cover a crossing route. DBs getting toasted. Severely lacking linebacker talent. Offensively the horrid playcalling and qb play continued.

That’s total BS . It’s 1st quarter and basically a whole game left to play.

If you let 1 bad play cost you 21 points and probably the game,, then you’re a weak , fragile a$$ team.

Move on, buck up and make some stops!

 

[OrangeInKy]

It was big for momentum and getting the defense off the field, but it was not a 21 point penalty. Come on.

Even against Vandy, they didn’t come ready to play. Got down 14 in a blink of an eye.
