Definitely think there were quite a few missed calls but in the end our offense put up 45 points in regulation and lost. Pretty obvious where the biggest problem lies.

Even when you knew they would be down their best player on offense and defense? Even though our offense has been as good as it has been? Come on man. Get real. You didn’t expect us to lose to freaking PEddie.

We didn’t play perfect, but we absolutely played good enough to win. Not being good enough to overcome officiating and being good enough to win are two separate things. We absolutely should have won that game ugly. Period.

Outside of the non-TD call that was a total screw job by the refs, the worst mistake was just before that in OT. We had first and goal from the 3 (after good gains on the ground) and we called a pass play that resulted in a 7 yd sack. We had 4 plays to get 3 yards. Run, run, run, and run again if need be.

Everything you’re saying about whistles being dropped is irrelevant. The whistle blew! No whistle was dropped! So quit the booger flicking and moving goal posts. In a situation like this, the whistle serves as much for validation as it does to stop play.

We could have (and should have) done things better to not be in that situation, but alas, we were in it. Calls like that should never affect the outcome of the game. EVER.

The whistle does not matter. It does not matter. By rule, the whistle does not end the play, the action on the field does. The whistle does not matter. I don't know how that's unclear. If the official determined forward progress was stopped and literally never blew the whistle, it would still be ruled that forward progress was stopped. It's bad mechanics and seriously undermines the trust we have in officials, but he could have never blown the whistle at all and by rule his decision still stands.

He somehow marks him down a yard and half behind where the ball actually was

It's utterly preposterous how they can go with the refs incorrect spot and just dismiss when the whistle was blown, which was after he crossed the plane.

It doesn't matter if the ref was in the process of ruling him down, the whistle is what stops play! There was nothing stopping the players from playing!

That is exactly the opposite of the rule. The whistle does not stop the play. It notifies the players that the play has been stopped. It does not stop the play.

Boys go to the play where Burrell “slipped” and watch it again…..

Burrell actually got toasted on the play and tried to dive at the receivers feet to trip him up and cause PI…..

Lol, freaking Warren Burrell….

Ya, there were a ton of bad calls, that wasn't one.

Open letter to CJH -

Please buy the best defensive players you can find in the portal. Please inform Burrell his name is now in the portal.

Finally, refuse to play any game against an opponent that has ACC officials involved.

Inform Willie he is on probation for next season. That wasn't even mediocre HS secondary play.

Thank you,
Vol fans everywhere

Listen…

63% 378 Passing Yards 5 TDs 0 INTs 1 Fumble with 62 rushing yards is objectively one of the best QB performances UT has seen in nearly 2 decades.

Small had 180 rushing yards and 1 TD, another stellar performance.

Tillman had 150 yards and 3 TDs, again an ungodly game.

Our defense has got to improve BIG time, the offense should be able to win going away if they hang 45 points on a team, period.

Yes...the fault for this game lies squarely on the defense. I don't know about stats, but IMO this was the worst game they played this year. They had been pretty good about not giving up huge plays until today.

Second most points given up all year & most passing yards given up all year.

Give it a rest, you are completely wrong here and are just continuing to double and triple down. It was an absolutely horrible stop of forward progress.
