Think that's why Stoops got the flag.
Imagine being a ref giving his team free pass after free pass on penalties and the he cusses you like a dog when the other team gets away with 1.

Ref be like "Well..you're just a different level of stupid aren't you, big boy?"

From the SEC office:
The crew officiating the Kentucky / Tennessee game last night has been suspended indefinitely and University of Tennessee is being assessed a another fine of $250k.
The officials ignored the correct number of offensive penalties committed by Kentucky as evidenced by 600 yards and 42 points, but failed to exercise prudence in the final minutes when they chose not to further extend what should have been the game winning drive for Kentucky.
Additionally, Tennessee is being fined because it's offense violates SEC bylaw 45.4-2, stating that no team shall have an offense capable of scoring on every play, unless authorized by Alabama and the SEC office.
The head of officials personally guarantees this will be rectified next week in Knoxville.

This ^. TL;dr, but it will help me release some frustration.

I replayed occasionally during commercial breaks and right after the game. Posted it earlier. On one run up the gut UK had three O-lineman doing standing tackles, bear hugging our guys. No call. That's their method of blocking until the officials start calling it. It's obviously taught by the o-line coach because they try to do it literally every play. Which is why their O-line is huge instead of mobile.

So we think we get a more fair version of officiating when in reality they are screwing us by not calling egregious penalties that actually set the tone for the whole game. So the d-line and LBs played hard, but were held. Add in really bad tackling by the LB's. Same thing OM did with the arm/hand grabbing around the back at the jersey number as well as Bama and Pitt do with the grabs at the sides to steer. It's a technique that is taught that is used unless the officials start calling it.

But this is where DC Banks needs to learn the SEC officiating better. He called a game/alignments that allowed them to do that and get away with it with a contain D. That is the approved style of Heup FWIW. Try for disruptive plays that create losses and settle for tightening down in the redzone to force FG's instead of TD's. Last night it did not work because their O-line could bear hug and get away with it - so less TFL's. They ran over us with Levis leading the charge. So we focused on sending more help to the box while playing bad zone coverage that Levis could pick apart in a short passing game.

Again - it was the same process used by Pitt, OM and Bama to beat us and it starts in the O-line and what they call or don't call. Those coaches all watch tape and know our tendencies and defensive philosophy. To counter you change it up to keep them guessing. We did not focus our full effort on stopping the one guy who could beat us - their QB - until the end of the game. When Banks started bringing the heat on Levis from every angle he was rattled. It almost cost us by waiting too long last night.

But it was a W and that is all that matters. They will all learn from it, especially the coaching staff. I am truly excited for the program's future now. Go Vols!

1. Trick or Treat?: Ok... it's a few days late, but give it to me. Kentucky has rolled off to a 6-2 start and has a legitimate shot at finishing with two losses. They have been media darlings all year long but are they as good as they think they are? First of all, they've not beaten many teams with a pulse. The Florida win is nice, but it hasn't aged well and they did not outperform Florida at ALL. Looking at this following boxscore, you would choose Florida as the winner 100/100 times... but Kentucky got the win.
