I also hate how we lost when we should have won. I think that is what I am so pissed about.

I do agree that we should have won. In fact, we should have put them away early.

That could have been an ‘06 Cal type game if we had taken advantage in the first quarter.

Wrong on the field goal. Once possession changes, i.e. the kick is missed w/o penalty, then nothing can undo that. With offsetting penalties the outcome reverts to what it would have been at the point of the change of possession. 1st and 10 for UT at the previous LOS (from when they attempted the FG). That was the correct call.

Also wrong that we are bad right now. We certainly aren't where we want or need to be, but we are not bad. We saw bad in Dooley, Butch and Pruitt's last years. We have no room for error and we are committing them left and right. Had the O and D played with the discipline of the special teams, we win by between 15 - 25 pts. That is not bad, it's immature.

No. Once again, you’re wrong. If we want the ball, we decline their penalty and eat ours. If that’s not appetizing, you take the offsetting penalty and re-do the down.

We chose to run it out (that was the moment possession changed, so it does NOT revert back to where the ball was snapped), which led to the two penalties in the first place. That’s the main point being missed. We had stake in the outcome by making that choice. We could’ve let the ball land 5 yards short, like it would have, and took over at the 38. We didn’t.

You might want to back up and punt.

@jave36

You seem to be struggling with this, so here you go. Stop being a homer and liking posts because they’re what you want to believe. I’ve laid it out a few times now. So read it. Or don’t.

@Tennessee Golfer read above.

How many of y’all am I going to have to @?

I am in the minority, but I wasn’t impressed with Hooker. He did some things well. I think if the coaches go into a game week with him as QB1 the play calling will be better for him.

I don’t think he is any better than an Emory Jones - great athlete, good runner, good read option, sub par arm at best.

Hooker is a better runner than Milton. Both are nothing but avg FBS QB's, which makes them below avg for the SEC, right now.

QB and pass def between the hashes are where we are bottom tier in the conference. This team should win 7 games even after giving this one away.

Honestly, I am most ashamed of the attendance. There were roughly 10k fewer TN fans there today vs last week. Shame on the no shows who could have been there (not everyone can) and shame on the AD for thinking they could charge an avg $75/ticket for a middle of the road non-conference game right now. Both sides have to do better, just like the coaches and players. We all lost together today.

The SEC heard from multiple people they take seriously about the lack of reviews for those first downs. I wouldn't want to be those refs. Nothing will come of it and so the wheel turns

Dadgum pass interference that sailed into the first row that kept the drive alive and led to one of their tds was maybe worse than the first down call .. amazing 10 yards outta the back of the end zone

What we found out today:
QB1-still sucks
QB2-is no better than QB1
QB3-who knows (can't be any worse)
The offensive line had little push.
The defense is suspect.
We have a pretty decent field goal kicker. (So far)

Hated seeing all the penalties.
Hate that Harrison Bailey still hasn't gotten a chance to show what he can do.

Oh and Burrell is not very good.

Ya I thought once possession changes, nothing that happens after that can undo the change of possession.

It’s a PSK (post scrimmage kick) which changes the application of the rule. It’s different from an INT and then there’s two live ball penalties on either team. A lot of screwy things can happen on kicks.

Banks just needed to screen the defender. He clearly doesn’t have great awareness on the field. A true bull in the china shop.
