Recruiting Football Talk VII

That’s not true. At Bama maybe but he’s had double digit home losses at other stops.

I imagine the message was relayed incorrectly by this poster. In addition to double-digit losses at other universities, his "whole coaching career" would also include games coached as an assistant and his stint as head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

 

[drvenner]

I never felt good about that game - always had it as a likely loss in my initial 9-3 expectation (now 7-5).

We will be doing really well to win down there

Can't believe you're packing it in. We looked bad, for sure. Let's let it play out a little bit more

 

[InVOLuntary]

So, on the play they said the call stands after the apparent catch and fumble, it looked like on the jumbotron that it was an obvious fumble. Was there any angle on the replay that showed it was maybe not completed?

no, total screw job. That call alone, especially after replay should constitute everybody associated with that call to lose their jobs. It was completely clear.

 

[drvenner]

Ol not great
QB not great
Wr not great
Wright is pretty darn good
Defense is pretty good
Kicking game lower than fair to middlin

Campbell looks good

 

[SpringBokVol]

No. Refs refused to see the obvious. Every angle was pretty clear he caught it, made a move with the ball, and it was stripped. The announcers were as confused as TN was about the call.

It was 100% a fumble and recovery for UT.

One of the worst calls to go into replay and not get it right.

 

[SamRebel35]

No, it was definitely a catch and fumble. Just another miss by SEC officiating, as shocking as that is.

Think they were ACC refs

LOL no

 

[VolInDayton]

This feels like the first time we have seen a Heupel team sleep walk through a game. We will see how they respond next week. I'm confident in a course correction. 2-0 Go Vols!

 

[knoxvol52]

Definitely won’t be Georgia because of their schedule if anything they should wait in line at 5 when the college playoff discussions start coming around

Who will be our Waterboy Saban or Kirby after we beat them both this season...

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Think they were ACC refs

Well that would be random since we weren't even playing an ACC team.

 

[Orange.]

We should be out of the top 10

No way! They wouldn't do that to Bama, ND, Texas, Ohio St, or Oregon, etc., if they won 30-13 against a nobody. They should not. You're just in your feels.

But they will. But it doesn't really matter. Just keep winning.

 

[drvenner]

No, it was definitely a catch and fumble. Just another miss by SEC officiating, as shocking as that is.

I'm not even sure they completely reviewed it. It was over in about 30 seconds. Not sure how many angles he could have looked at

 

[Vol423]

Wow, we're carrying the torch for the SEC.

Virginia's status as a P5 school should really be under review after losing to James Madison.

 

[hooperj75]

So after today, who do you have as top 4 playoff teams. IMO:
1) Georgia
2) USC
3) Michigan
4) Texas

It was actually an ACC crew. We were playing a non-conference game and another conferences crew do those games to take away bias…

 

[Smokey123]

Some defensive stats: 13 TFL’s, 6 sacks, 6 Pass break ups, 174 total yards allowed. Those were the stats tonight until the final 2 drives before we started playing mostly FR and backups

Last week: 4 sacks, 11 TFL’s, 5 pass breakups, 128 yards allowed until the 4th quarter when it was a backup at almost every position.

Georgia has 1 sack, 10 TFL’s and 6 pass break ups through 2 games

*milwoeful*

For one day, you sir have won the internets

Only 14 minutes of fame left: use them wisely

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I'm not even sure they completely reviewed it. It was over in about 30 seconds. Not sure how many angles he could have looked at

But they'll take 5 minutes reviewing a play for a targeting call that won't have much of an impact on the game. It's a damn joke.

 

[drvenner]

We won a damn football game and it's all out doom and gloom. Flush this turd, it's Florida week. Rather have a **** showing against AP than an SEC foe. And Bama is losing to tejas and can't score. I'll take it

Defense is good enough. Offense is somewhat unknown. Wright needs more carries/featured more imo.

Jave nailed it. ST will be the unit that costs us a close game imo.

After the first bad punt, I thought ST was pretty solid. One KO out of bounds, but kicks were good and Williams had a couple of decent returns.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

It was actually an ACC crew.

Well I guess they suck too.

 

[drvenner]

Did AP get called for holding even once? I don't recall any.

 

[Orange.]

I love this. To hell with the rest of them.

That's an odd way to say we suck.

You are definitely not doing this sh*t right.

 

[ReadCT]

Double Gauldens to Bama. Don't even care if Texas is Back.

Suck it, Saban.

Pic or it didn't happen

No, or they would have shown it. And the SEC office in Birmingham is linked in on all of those reply reviews. It wasn't just the Alabama officials on the field.

As @jave36 pointed out during the game, the replay crew can intervene at any time and initiate a review. Unless I am mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong, jave.
