Most jaw dropping stats

[Boca Vol]

I would have no problem with that. However the call on the field cannot be reversed without video evidence where the ball is (indisputable evidence - at least that is how it's always applied - every review I've ever seen they are always desperately looking for some camera angle that shows the ball or otherwise they say inconclusive evidence and cannot be overturned). Again, if anyone knows of any other examples where it was not applied like this I'd like to hear about them.

I see what you're saying but the rules give the officials an out:

Limitations on Reviewable Plays

ARTICLE 6. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable. However, the replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable. This excludes fouls that are not specifically reviewable (Reviewable fouls: Rules 12-3-2-c and d, 12-3-4-b and 12-3-5-a).

I see what you're saying but the rules give the officials an out:

Sure - and the only football game anyone can point out to where officials used this "out" (to overturn the call without seeing the football) is our game vs Vandy. That does not strike you as strange/unfair?

Odd, maybe. Unfair, no.

The original spot was unfair. Maybe the side judge is a UT homer.

I linked to the NCAA rulebook. Yet you persist in quoting a rule that does not exist. It's really baffling how committed you are to this rule that exists only in your mind.

There was indisputable evidence that Vandy picked up a first down. You are demanding a criteria that is not mandated by the rulebook.

so you're saying that since you cant see the ball and have to assume where the ball is that is "indisputable evidence"? my God. Give you. You fail.

I'll ask you what I asked TG earlier:

Do you think that at least one official sees the ball on every single play in every single game?

And if not, how do the officials determine where the ball should be spotted?

To your question, the point of the line to gain replay is not where to spot the ball, but to determine whether a first down was gained. That's why other spots aren't subject to review. So one can easily determine thay a first down was gained if one can determine who had the ball and where he wound up in relation to the line to gain. No assumption needed.

you really are inbred aren't you. You stand in front of everyone with your hand raised saying "yep, I'm an idiot".

You're trying to impose the replay rule on the actual play. The indisputable evidence portion only comes into play if the play is reviewed. What the ref calls can only be turned over by the indisputable evidence, not guesses.

Go back to mating with your cousins, troll.

When you can't win based on facts, go childish insult and don't quit.

Thanks for playing, Corky.

It sounds more like you are a Vandy homer if you don't think its unfair that UT is the only school that got screwed like this.

Got some proof to back this up other than "I can't remember ever seeing it happen"?

Unless you are going to look up the video from every single line to gain review from every single game in college football since 2006, what you have personally witnessed doesn't mean squat.

I was making a joke about the lousy spot, but whatever.

I'm not sure if there are or aren't other examples of whereas a horrible spot, on 4th down, in the 4th quarter, was overturned. And I'm not going to go back through every overturned call to try and find one.

Stop with the "everyone has it out for UT" crap. If anything, a UT win would have meant 1 more bowl team for the conference. So I promise you the refs weren't out to screw UT. They even went so far to give UT a favorable spot on 4th down....which got overturned.

 

[TGVol]

I can't prove something that I have never seen happen (or never heard of happening) so the burden of proof is on you - since you seem to think this reversal was fine (in spite of not having evidence of the ball) - you should then certainly be able to point out some other games where things were overturned like this.

opcorn:

I'll just sit back and wait for you to either post a link to a rule that doesn't actually exist, or offer some proof that every similar situation was handled a different way. If you can do either one, I will unashamedly give your credit for being right.

Until then, I'll keep pointing back to the rulebook while you spew nonsense about what you can or can't recall as if that somehow proves anything.

Happy hunting.

UT is 0-2 against Vandy, 0-9 against Florida, 0-7 against Bama, 0-4 against UGA, 0-5 against the Barn, 0-2 against Mizzou, 0-4 against LSU...

Jaw dropping to say the least.

Maybe it is because I have been drinking but this doesn't make sense. You aren't giving a time frame. How can we be 0-9 against Florida and 0-2 against Vandy when we play both every year?

Am I missing sarcasm?

I think he's referring to current streaks against those teams.

Those are the current losing streaks versus those teams.

Most jaw dropping stat has to be the 1939 Tennessee team that gave up 0 points in the regular season

 

[Volosaurus rex]

It was a fundamentally different era but the '39 team also holds the following single-season school records for total defense:

Fewest yards allowed: 1,023
Fewest yards allowed per play: 2.2
Fewest yards allowed per game: 102.3 (ISSUU - 2013 media guide 125 208 by The University of Tennessee Athletics Department)


Now juxtapose that record against the NCAA single-game record for most yards allowed by a defense: 1,021--SMU vs. Houston, Oct. 21, 1989 (250 rushing, 771 passing). Source: 2013 NCAA Football Records | NCAA Public Home Page - NCAA.org.

 

[Volosaurus rex]

Even more impressive are the following records set by the 1938-1940 teams:

Most consecutive shutouts (regular season): 17--Tennessee, from Nov. 5, 1938 through Oct. 12, 1940.

Most consecutive quarters opponents held scoreless (Regular season): 71--Tennessee, from 2nd quarter vs. LSU, October 29, 1938, to 2nd quarter vs. Alabama, Oct. 19, 1940. 2013 NCAA Football Records | NCAA Public Home Page - NCAA.org.

It started out by me posting about UT losing 4 games in the weirdest ways possible (controversial calls) - that was supposed to be the jaw dropping stat since I don't think you can find any team in last few years that had anything close to this happen to them. But you are right that post took a turn in wrong direction - sorry about that. On the other hand, nobody else seems interested in posting any more jaw dropping stats so hopefully it does not bother you too much we keep debating those controversial games.

not at all,i was just wondering what happened

now that is some defense
