'21 Recruiting Forum: Music City Bowl vs. Purdue Pregame/Game Thread

I like calling a high percentage pass that picks up the first down and leaves time on the clock for another play or two verses two low percentage deep balls that Hooker has struggled with all night long.

Low percentage lol...

Someone running butt naked open behind the defense isn't low percentage. Hooker missed an easy throw and the mother ****er refs missed an easy call the next play. That's all there is to it.

Both of them were completely wide open. Tillman was wide open even after the DB rode him like a horse for five yards. Hooker should have looked off a wide open reciever because it would have gotten too many yards. That's the argument you guys are making right now.

I’m sick of the lack of accountability for these striped clowns. Absolutely sick of it.

The forward progress rule needs to be changed asap

if they call that one then the touchdown to the tight end should have been the same imo. He was stopped also and what happens if somebody comes in and drills him you going to call late hit/personnel foul

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Heupel has learning to do. His offense relies too much on tempo. When teams do the injury BS or we need to slow it down he has to add in some wrinkles. Tempo is good but its too much of a crutch for him.

Doesn’t have to change his strategy the injury thing is going to be voted on this year. Also, if we had a RB that would actually smash it up the middle instead of tiptoeing to the line (Wright) we would of converted a lot more 3rd and 4th downs.

Commentators are apologists.

They must have NCAA approval to work games. They will never bite the hand that feeds them

 

[gordonr24]

That’s twice we’ve been screwed in the Music City Bowl. We should never go back. Make Nashville and that Bowl have to earn a fanbases attendance instead of an easy one like UT’s.

 

[Newman]

True lol

 

[InVOLuntary]

It’s ACC officials so it’s not like Sankey can do anything. Let them have it!

I didn't know if the NCAA could fine him.

I still dont understand why Small was pulled after that long run. Unless he hurt his shoulder.
Im honestly not even that mad about the L since I think bowl games are useless, im mad because of my bets losing

 

[TN-POSSUM]

TILLMAN GOT HELD ON THAT 3RD DOWN PLAY. THE BALL WAS ON TARGET. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PASS INTERFERENCE ON PURDUE.

Beasley completely let go of the tight end and raised his hands up like an idiot. If you continue holding on to him it is forward progress. But I get what you are saying.

We didn’t get screwed by refs. We lost to an inferior team.

True lol

3.
Pitt, OM, Purdue

Refs were bad, sure. Whatever-they’ve been terrible all year. It’s the new reality.
The Vols lost this game. Effort was sub-optimal.
The Purdue TE TD was one of the more gutless efforts by Vols I’ve seen in a long time. Embarrassing. Should be shown all off-season on a loop in weight room with the caption “play to the whistle”.
Purdue wanted it, punched Vols in the mouth and took it.

Embarrassing that refs decided who won. The Vols punched them just as much.

Nobody from UT will say anything publicly. They never do. At most, UTAD will send a polite letter to the SEC noting their grievances, Sankey will ignore it and the inept officiating, bias and look-the-other-way nonsense will continue as it has for years. The SEC wants member institutions to take their multi-millions, shut up and support the gravy train that keeps everyone fat and happy. And UT seems to be content to do exactly that.

 

[Orange.]

NO, that's not it. Incompetence is not the issue. They gave every evidence of doing it on purpose from the first play til the end.

Fun game even though it sucks we lost….. refs sucked and field sucked….. loved the fight from our guys….. time to move on …… get some transfers and get ready for a great 2022 season.

Great post. Even at the 2 with 4 plays to push it in I expected the results we got, seen us go in reverse too many times this year. That’s why we won 7 , 9-10 with wins over ole miss, Pitt and UF was possible with a real SEC O Line and a little bit better back 7 on D.

Then I’m content to not spend any money on them

Pathetic

NCAA has an officiating problem in both football and basketball. Refs need to be full time, trained and held accountable - similar to pros. But NCAA would have to spend money, so instead we get crap officiating all across college sports. Any NCAA approved game personality risks losing their jobs, so they do not speak out against this problem. Basketball is even worse than football.
Refs should not have conference affiliations

Don't conferences hire refs and set policy?

We lost because we were screwed by the refs.
