Huge missed kick by Norman-Lott

[BigOrangePhoenix]

Could you have imagined???????

 

[bpalmer28]

I saw that! I’m hoping he missed it intentionally because that would have been the stupidest unsportsmanlike in the history of Tennessee football

 

[tennesseeduke]

The fact that he attempted should be a stair run!

 

[volmoon]

It was the best missed kick we’ve ever had

 

[fossilfiction]

Had he made contact with this ball, it's a huge 15 yards.

Glad for the victory but this is still a very undisciplined team. Boo carter was fortunate to not get an unsportsman like penalty that offset the bama player’s penalty. He was equally to blame. Heupel has to get this team under control.

Its hard for NFL coaches to tell 28 year old millionaires what to do. I cant imagine how hard its going to be to control 20 year old kids with money.

Love his fire, but Norman-Lott is one of those guys who seems to teeter on the edge of being totally out of control. Gotta play with ferocity and aggression so I guess you take the good with the bad.

I also wonder if he was truly attempting to kick the ball; dude was looking straight ahead.

I COMPLETELY disagree! Boo was 'trash talkin"...it kinda goes ON between the lines...the Bama player was an IDIOT to Hit Boo...what Boo was doing was BEING AN ALPHA...WHICH Tennessee (ESPECUIALLY on the O-Line and the World) needs MORE OF!!!!

Norman-Lot trying to kick the BALL...WAS Stupid, though...

Maybe he was making fun of the Bama player from the Vanderbilt game.

He was just clowning around. #NokickNofoul

Man I saw that and screamed at the TV "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I thought for sure that was about to lose us the game.

 

[Tennessee Jedd]

I didn't, and still don't, think he was trying to kick that ball. I think he was trolling.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

He was kicking their asses out of town

I can see that point. Just don’t be surprised when that call goes the other way some time. We don’t know what Boo said to elicit the hit. Be an alpha during the play not after the whistle.

I DO...he said..."GET THAT $HIT OUTTA HERE...BOY!!!"

Yoooo, you may be right. He could have easily been mocking Malachi Moore. If so that is savage af and I LOVE IT.

I’m screamed at the TV…and when I saw the flag I just knew it was against us

man... that was CLOSE. Even he was not trying to kick the ball. Really cannot tell.
On the other hand, had he kicked the ball and got flagged wouldn't the flag have been offset by Bama's unsportsmanlike penalty?

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Nobody knows for sure except him, personally I just think he was being cute acting like he was going to hit it. As far as Boo folks jaw with each other all the time Bama players going to the head was dumb. He got baited and took it. Arion Carter coming in breaking it up was smart but Boo has to watch it when he swung back luckily he didn’t connect. It could have easily ended up off setting had he struck him back in the helmet. But we won, let’s talk about that! GBO

I don't know, but I know that he made a stupid choice, meaning to miss or not.

He wasnt trying to kick the ball. A d1 athelete is not going to charlie brown a ball just laying there lol

 

[TNfaninMS]

I saw it but didn’t think he was actually trying to kick. Heart did stop for a sec though….

 

[SFBayVol]

I just saw the replay from a different angle. He waited after the ball rolling past him to kick the ground.

You would be surprised at how horrible some elite football players can be when it comes to throwing or kicking something
