1 penalty in 3 road games.

[HalfullVol]

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

Not a road game so

that won't really balance out the road game "no calls".

 

[Tenacjim]

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.

The article below looks at the numbers. It compares our 2 SEC home games: 7 live ball penalties on TN for 90 yards. Opponents had 12 live ball penalties for 118 yards.

Still will not balance out ROAD game call imbalance though

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.

The NFL tried this and it failed miserably

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.

Ref's could call holding on every single running play or passing ????? Its on them to see and choose which one or just how important it is to the play. Even in the NFL, That's the blocking style and training. Just my view. !!!!

That being said, look who's playing who and where they playing at. They just need to make it more even on all calls for each team ??? Start deducting their pay !!!! and using replay to make the right calls !!!

That being said, the replay on the first ( first down ) against Bama, that JM made, they backed it up a half of yard ???

Need to just start judy choppin the refs

What was the penalties in the Kentucky at Florida game ?

 

[DaddyChad]

Bottom line is this conference is a whore that will do anything to make money. The commissioner has zero integrity.

 

[Cartervol]

Well they have another game next Saturday on the road let's see how they call that. 1 live ball penalty in 3 games is hard to believe.. Hard to believe there isn't some sort of bias there.

 

[Ratvol]

No more calls. We have a winner.

Go VOLS

[Devo182]

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???

Uk just got called for 4(?)

 

[lifeisdeep]

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.

Or maybe just have the FBI investigate the refs and the SEC and prosecute them for racketeering.

 

[wmcovol]

It’ll be interesting to see how the Bama-LSU game is called this week. Refs definitely let Bama play full out (holding,PI, etc) vs the Vols.

 

[JPL]

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.

Refs need to go to hell ASAP! Unheard of and corrupt. Statistically, improbable.

Go VOLS!

 

[RDU VOL#14]

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

They might as well be Big East refs. They would’ve called the same number of live action penalties as the SEC refs.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

It's ******** we all know it is

 

[LargeOrange1]

Or maybe just have the FBI investigate the refs and the SEC and prosecute them for racketeering.

The FBI is too busy watching Parents at School Board Meetings.

 

[lacrossepro70]

So if most teams commit around six penalties a game, then the odds of having one penalty over twelve quarters are roughly one in a huge f****** number.

 

[Other_Guy]

So went back and looked at all games this year.
Virginia 0 live fouls
Austin Peay 2 live fouls - Chop blocks
Florida 1 live foul - Offensive Holding
UTSA 1 live foul - Offensive Holding
South Carolina 2 live fouls - Offensive Holding
Texas A&M 6 live fouls - 1 Roughing the passer, 1 Illegal block, 1 Intentional grounding, 1 Offensive holding, and 2 Defensive pass interference. Of course we had 12 penalties to their 11.
Alabama 0 live fouls
Kentucky 0 live fouls

Espn hates tenn.

 

[DrTNT]

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.

And if the ref is found to constantly be missing calls they get fired like any other person would if they sucked so much at their job!

 

[number1volfanfrom76]

This is following the Sankey/Saban playbook

 

[livefaith]

It's all gonna balance out on the Huskies. Poor guys

 

[livefaith]

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.

Something is definitely going on this year. Even against the scrub teams it's been horrific.

 

[The Original Fade]

I’ll get on board with this if someone will explain the WHY of refs being biased against UT. Give me a logical reason
