Josh Heupel on tonights “Officiating”

[VolFreakJosh]

Doesn’t seem pleased.

 

[Hunter10139]

He's taking the high road. I'm sure he cursed them behind closed doors.

 

[zeppelin128]

Coach speak for "to hell with those refs."

 

[Orange931]

Those damn refs cost us at least a shot at 4 TD’s.

The no PI call in the end zone was terrible.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Might be one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen. All that said, you should still beat Austin Peay by 30 even on a night where the officials are against you.

 

[Pride85]

The no PI call in the end zone was terrible.

There were actually two.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Refs were straight trash.

Even Rucker called them out on X/Twitter.

 

[Hacksaw]

Possibly the most bewildering game ever as it relates to officiating. The Beasley fumble recovery that was reviewed and still got wrong was just stupefying.

 

[sonofUT62]

It’s possible that the League could have suspended him next week for the first half or even the whole game. Definitely smart on his part.

 

[Volfan76]

That was as bad as I've ever seen. That being said, the refs should never be a factor in a game vs austin peay.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Ah the officiating excuse. Happens every single TN loss and every time we play bad.

 

[number1volfanfrom76]

I guess I should be glad i didn't PPV!

Clearly you didn’t watch the game

 

[Orange931]

You can’t deny it tonight if you watched the game. This was absolutely the worst officiated game I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen alot of games.

 

[Hunter10139]

Ah the officiating excuse. Happens every single TN loss and every time we play bad.

I think two things can be true at once. We looked really bad and the officiating crew was terrible.

Edit: spelling.

How much did you lose on the game?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

No one used it as an excuse. We said refs sucked which they did. We played bad too but that doesn’t excuse the refs.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

How much did you lose on the game?

I don’t gamble

 

[amaralfan1]

I don’t gamble

Then why are you so stressed out about this? The Vols won. The refs took away at least two potential scoring drives and all of APs points came off no calls.

It’s Austin Peay. Bad calls shouldn’t have even been an issue. This game should have been over by halftime. We should have been up by 3-4 TDs. At that point the refs are irrelevant.

Stressed? Not in the slightest. Pissed? Yes. I expected much more from this team. Dude it’s Austin Peay. The game should have been over at halftime. Nico should have played the entire second half. Our secondary looked bad again for the most part. Yes we won and that’s great. But we looked terrible in the win.

If you don’t agree on tonight’s game you either didn’t watch , or are completely ignorant on football rules .

 

[Orange931]

For all the people thinking this is being blown out of proportion. Here’s a small example and a no call.

 

[Old Spice]

did you watch the game?. this was ... I never seen a one sided called game as blatant as this one, but yeah we did win
