Blown roughing punter no call

[AdoptedVOL]

The only way to miss this call is to close your eyes.

That was terrible. There has to be a set of ref eyes on the punter. I'd love an explanation why there was no flag

 

[OrangeTsar]

The officials will get graded poorly on that one by the league for sure

Frankly, no they won't. There is zero system of accountability.

Roughing the kicker is supposed to be a safety issue. Normally I wouldn't be on the refs after a 56-0 win. But there is no excuse for that no call.

No public accountability for sure. Wish the league would share their internal reviews with the public

 

[Hacksaw]

Yet another "never seen that before" type of occurrence that goes against Tennessee.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I don't even think they do those unless it is an entire game full of egregious crap.

I theory this sounds like a good idea but I am not really in favor of putting the refs any more out in the public than they currently are. 15 years ago maybe I would. Remember Friday night Ole Miss fans upset about a call? In the era of doxxing this may not be a good idea.

 

[CNCVol88]

There was a targeting call I felt they missed too.

Please tell me, what are the literal consequences for them for poor grades? Because I’m convinced that it means assign them more games.

Thankfully, it wasn’t a close game where this bad call could have been relevant……

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

I believe CJH can (and probably will) report this to SEC or NCAA - whomever. We'll never know the outcome, though.

 

[madbamahater]

This was a terrible no call. The punter is in the air, completely defenseless and gets textbook form tackled.

I will say that when West sacked and slammed the Vandie QB, I was shocked a flag didn't come out. Should it have been a penalty? No. But, in today's game with all the ticky tack roughing the passer calls, I was looking for a flag. He was literally body slammed and went head first onto the turf. Again, should it have been? No. Just surprised it wasn't.....

 

[PACKERVOL]

They should tie the refs' salary to the grades they get, including blown calls. The only sure way to get job performance improvement is to tie a person's income to how well they actually perform on the job.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

In this example, the fix truly is finding an official that can hold their eyes open. We can argue PI, targeting, holding. This was not arguable. Blown Call Hall of Shame material.

Lots of missed calls I thought, on both sides. Think they just wanted the game to be over since they were getting drenched & it was a blowout.

 

[mscc1998]

If the game is close, I would worry about it. Our offense was clicking so well that we could overcome any penalty within a play or two.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I am most worried about our punter getting hurt. Refs call targeting or roughing the passer at the drop of a hat to protect qb or ball carrier. The punter needs special protection too. He is very exposed with that leg extended

 

[Bearkat_Vol]

They called a penalty on Vandy for leaping during an extra point, but I saw SC do it at least two times against us. Did anyone else notice this? I was yelling at my screen the first time. I then thought that maybe it wasn't a penalty anymore when it happened again.

 

[jim pique]

Fightmaker,The result of poor officiating grades in the SEC?You get to ref more Tennessee games.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I only saw the replay once, but I thought that the defender’s hand was close to touching the ball before making contact with the punter.
