I’m sure Bumphus wanted to go that way

Whatever problems this offense has, it's directly tied to o line depth. That's it.

That was my biggest concern preseason. I knew it was almost inevitable, but I was just hoping that for one freaking time we would get lucky with injuries...but nope..

I am a fan!

Our QB!! Love this dude!

 

[rekinhavoc]

We had our opportunities. Wasn't all the refs fault. Got turnovers and didn't do anything with them.

Yes there were opportunities. Yes they didn't capitalize.

Spots - were atrocious never went our way.
Targeting - 1st half McElroy pointed it out. Should have been reviewed by the booth. Nothing.
Holding - It must be nice for an offensive lineman to know it won't be called.

SEC had an interest in Ole Miss staying in the hunt and of course Bama.

Prediction : If Georgia runs the table regular season they will lose a close one in the SEC championship in the hopes that the SEC can get two teams in the playoffs.

I'm thinking that some people complaining the loudest that we lost are some of the people who wanted to sit our starters because it was a sure loss?

OL and pass rush. 3rd downs are very much a problem because we can’t get pressure.

agreed. although I thought BY did a nice job despite being held every play.

Yeah, we were laughing at our house-- Trying to show the penalty on Vols and see a massive hold by Bama.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The officials absolutely changed that game . The officials kill momentum. First half we were up and had the ball. Refs said "not on our watch". Called successive phantom false start penalties to kill the drive. Notice they didn't replay on the broadcast? Also, it's not just about the penalties they do call, it's about the penalties they don't call. Bama, as usual held all night and what, one holding call all night? The officials were never going to let us win that game. They're as corrupt as their overlords, the SEC. They're are two sets of rules when it comes to Bama.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Anyone doubting this staff at this point has to have their sanity questioned. We were in that game into the 4th qtr despite having a typical biased officiating crew, 70 scholarship players, a patchwork oline, injuries all over the field, and a first year staff, going against a roster that has a higher salary cap than the Chicago bears.

We need bodies and lots of them. Hopefully through recruiting and the portal we can get those bodies in quickly. The new expanded signing rule will help us out. If you're upset at this staff you really have no grasp of the situation.

This stuff is more scripted than a Hollywood movie.

Josh Heupel gives thoughts on officials not overturning fumble against Alabama

 

[Hardy]

To those of you who were disappointed that we weren’t able to get James Franklin, wondering what you thought of his in-game coaching yesterday? The guy is a fraud.

I laughed. You get my vote for post of the day.

It is the worst officiating in the country because it is the most corrupt conference in the country, not because the officials are incompetent.

I was out as 60+ year Vol fan if he was here as HC.

Just watched the Braves game. Man shout out Eddie Rosario. That dude came to play this postseason. He's about to get PAID this offseason.

hate to say I agree but i do.

Pretty sure it's both

Sounds like you are all in on Heupel! Let’s go!!!

I've never been out. I was in on Pruitt until his first game, his incompetence punched me right in the gut. Then the BYU game showed me all I needed to see. This staff has shown me the exact opposite. While I have concerns about this defensive scheme at times, I understand how depleted we are and the stresses this offense puts on the defense.

We need players. With this offense we need a 60/40 split of players favoring the defense. We need to sub liberally on the defensive side. It will take a bit to get there but hopefully with the expanded signing rule this year we can address some of that.
