1 penalty in 3 road games.

[chambers1517]

UT should be making a big deal about the fact that Florida had 1 live ball penalty called against them vs UT, Alabama had 0 and KY had zero. That is an impossibility.

 

[valoisvol]

Travesty
We’re 8-0 right now and should be ranked #1. I don’t care what the other talking heads say

 

[VolDave53]

11 quarters of football played since the last live penalty agains a foe. Pitiful to say the least.

 

[g0d0fm15ch13f]

It's especially frustrating for me since I can't normally see every hold that gets called. But I've seen so many that should've been called (esp v bama)

 

[Chilmonty]

You realize that is about 500 plays, with 3 different teams and 3 different locations.....no penalties!!
When was the last time anyone heard of a team getting no calls in ONE game, let alone Three???

 

[wmcovol]

the opponents are simply extremely well coached & disciplined

Only explanation.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Maybe a rule where, if the refs miss an infraction like PI or holding, the opposing team can challenge it at the risk of losing a timeout.

 

[robby487]

I heard UT will have a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the opening kickoff for the UC game for talking about no calls.

Certainly not a bad idea, but I think that would need a much more thorough rule rewriting, as some level of holding on the line or contact outside happens every play. I think holding should be a 5 yard penalty so officials can call it EVERYTIME

Curious if you happened to count how many live action penalties we had in our last three home games. Not a direct comparison but it may speak to whether there is a home-team bias in officiating. We had 5 (UTSA), 7 (USC), and 12 (A&M) penalties, but I don’t know how many were live action. I assume it is > 1 in that span.

 

[TennEddie]

They will call 20 of them against UCONN in order to
” balance out “ the stats.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Yet, the fact is, there were "no-calls" when video documentation showed choke-holds around the throat. Let them explain that.

 

[number1volfanfrom76]

Are they going to be Big East Ref's? might show non bias we know exists!

 

[JRich]

It's a corrupt world.

That is insane!

Nothing like home cooking!

 

[usagary]

Of course they’ll call a lot on UConn when it won’t matter and say hey it all evens out.

 

[Caspian]

It's a corrupt world.

Even more than any of us know.

 

[DougVol]

Exactly! Lol

No worries. The numbers will even themselves up after this weekend. UConn will be get hit right and left with laundry on Saturday.

 

[miket4god]

I heard UT will have a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the opening kickoff for the UC game for NOT talking about no calls.

FYP

 

[mudhen]

We need professional referees, well paid and beholden to an independent board and not the SEC, with a paid review staff and a one year contract with no guaranteed renewal.

 

[feathersax]

It's quite clear what's been going on: SEC officials are either scheming against Tennesse OR the gambling fix is in. Those "live penalty" stats are scurrilous.

 

[chatt.vol]

So went back and looked at all games this year.
Virginia 0 live fouls
Austin Peay 2 live fouls - Chop blocks
