Assume you’re talking about ARK game.

Wasn’t called roughing. And wasn’t a bogus call bc he absolutely did run into the kicker.

5 yard penalty. Issue being it was 4th and 2.

He was blocked into him.

 

[JCVol00]

He was blocked into him.

Either way, we shouldn’t have had anyone rushing the punter in that situation imo. Late in the 4th quarter and held a 1 pt lead at the time. Idk the logic behind sending a rusher in that situation

Edit: it was early 4th qtr on their fg drive that made it a 1 point game. Was still a bad call to rush the punter as arky was already gaining momentum

It was the first play of the 4th quarter, and we were up 4. It resulted in a FG. The bad part was we got 4 more possessions in that game.

I would imagine there are at least a few other surviving members of the 1952 team, but I think Jim Haslam is the last remaining person on Earth who has remaining ties to UT and knew Neyland. The youngest players from that team would now be 91 years old.

Think Bama drops behind Duke and I'm worried Houston jumps us (we did lose at Kentucky and they just won at Arizona)

The game was a show from the very first snap, dont get me wrong. But, arkansas was getting momentum back having scored a td on their previous drive then we punted, getting off the field there would have been MASSIVE but the penalty ruined that

I watched it again. There was no blocking on the line so Ross immediately got to the up-man who blocked him into the punter. I get it, but Squirrel also didn’t field a punt late, which totally flipped field position. In hindsight, if the official sees a review of the Ross play, I don’t think they call it.

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Your's is pretty bad in itself. Having played basketball up until my body said "no", when a team is getting blown out at home by another meaty okra team, even though they came back, it screams inconsistency. The Vols do not have an alpha player that can take over the game. Some point to ZZ but when your alpha is a 5'-6" point guard, you're in trouble. I love ZZ but he can't take over a game consistently.

Being consistent is what makes teams have deep runs in the tournament. The Vols can beat anyone but the can lose to anyone.

Yeah...but that doesn't make them "average at best".

We are a really good team with flaws...we are not average...I love you InVol, but that is quantifiably dumb.

Average is 20-12 and being a 9th or worse seed, or in the NIT.

I know the game too, and if you know it like you say, then you know that almost anybody can win on any given day against anybody...you know those games where a team literally hits everything they throw up while the higher ranked team has a day when they can't throw it in the ocean?.

Basketball is a weird sport.

A 17 run 5th inning. Holy moly

Costliest penalty in Vols football history

I would love to hear this debated.

Personally, I was there in the 04 SECCG when our long touchdown run against Auburn was called back and it seemed pretty costly at the time and in hindsight was too. Now been 25+ since our last football secc. Not that 20 is so much better than 25, but I always thought from 04-07 what could have gone differently that would have kept fulmer just a bit longer and not led us down the kiffin/dooley/butch/pruitt roads, and maybe winning that game would have gotten him the good will needed to stick around longer. Maybe would have all ended the same because the administration was what it was but of course can’t help but wonder.

He was blocked into him.

Eh, he was halfway blocked into him. It wasn't as clear as you're making it sound. He was already lunging toward the kicker when he was further assisted by the blocker.

He wasn’t lunging. He was running. There was either contact initiated for a block or there wasn’t. He could have pulled up with no contact. I would guess they are taught to go across the punter’s leg to avoid contact, and the block, however slight, charged that angle. There was minimal contact with punter anyway. Sure, you put some blame on Ross, but it was still a very weak call. I’ve seen much worse not called many times over.

you are what your record says. If you divide the conference into 3 tiers, we are in the middle tier.

I didn't think it was that weak. He didn't make an effort to pull up, and the blocker didn't 100% force him into the kicker. He was hit from the side and not that hard, and it looked to me like he had already started to lunge toward him. Yes his lunge initially might have taken him away from the leg and the block prevented that, but it wasn't like he had pulled up already and they pushed him from behind into the kicker, which is where you see that not called.

Incredibly stupid of him to put himself in that position on what was clearly a punt safe call. I agree it shouldn't have been called, but only because the kicker wasn't hit hard enough or at a moment of being defenseless, but again, close call.
