Maybe someone can verify this. There was a post on another site that there has only been one live ball penalty called on Tennessee's opposition in the last three games. If this is true, then UT needs to really take this to the top. I have seen several holding and pass interference no calls. Also do you think we are still paying for the behavior at the end of the Ole Miss game. All that mess was against the refs not The Ole Miss players and the refs may still be doing some type of in your face payback.I was more aggravated about the Sampson run.
Clearly a touchdown
I will say that it is surprising that opposing offenses have been able to play so many snaps against a truly dominant UT pass rush/DL with so few holds.Yeah, the "holding" always seemed to occur after a critical 3rd down conversion or a good yardage gain for us but they never got a single holding flag... BU!!SHIRT
Just now reviewing this thread. With regard to Sampson’s run, I disagree. The pile may not have been moving much, but Sampson was. He never stopped, and as far as I could tell was never really in anyone’s grasp. The linesman on the Florida side of the field raised his hand almost immediately when Sampson hit the pile. My first thought was “Is this the same guy that made theOn the Nico out of bounds play, I think I saw Heupel motioning for the guys to get lined up and also waiving off the referee...I don't think CJH wanted to stop for a review there as it seemed like the game was finally starting to get some kind of rhythm. That said, I think CJH knew while it may have not been the best spot, he wasn't going to gain the 1st down with a review.
As far as the sampson run goes, I think it was a good call by the referee. In those situations it is so, so, very hard to judge a touchdown in a pile that isn''t moving like that, so just err on the side of caution and call the play dead at the inches line with no forward progress. Of course all that changes IF that would have been a 4th down, or 3rd down play called.
I get what you're saying. I like going back and watching the games on Wednessay or Thursday of that week...kind of.like watching a good action movie the second time, ton of things you miss. This is definitely one play I'll take a closer look.Just now reviewing this thread. With regard to Sampson’s run, I disagree. The pile may not have been moving much, but Sampson was.

My first thought was “Is this the same guy that made the
“forward progress” call in the bowl game?” (Or the non-fumble in the Ole Miss game.) That was a bad call in no uncertain terms. Contrast that to the many times we see these goal line plays where players pile up on the line and these linesman run into the center to see where the runner is laying at the end of the play before they make any call. I agree sometimes forward progress is stopped, but please wait more than a few milliseconds before you make the call.
I was at the Florida game. I can say for a fact that the official who threw the flag for holding after Nico had a good first down run waited to see the result of the play before throwing the flag.Yeah, the "holding" always seemed to occur after a critical 3rd down conversion or a good yardage gain for us but they never got a single holding flag...

Two live ball fouls, one hold late in the 4th at Oklahoma and the blindsided block on the kickoff vs FL.Maybe someone can verify this.

These are the two that stuck out to me as well.I couldn't find a thread on this, but there are 2 plays I had an issue with the call.
4th Qtr, 13:20. I think Nico makes the first down on 3rd and 8. They marked him 3 yards short but nothing touched down before he crossed the 1st down marker. There was no review.
Overtime, 1st and goal. Sampson's momentum is never stopped and he scores a TD. Why did the refs blow the whistle? It was pretty early into the run. Reminiscent of the bowl loss to UNC where the refs blew the whistle early.
I think there were a few more but these are the 2 I remember. Please post if you remember others.
