I "think" it was a bad spot but replay didn't prove it. Worst rule in the game. Now baseball has it. Yay!

Replay gave the Vols two fumbles deep in their own territory to keep Vandy from scoring. It giveth and it takes away.

No one seems to want to talk about the two fumbles Vanderbilt lost in the red zone as the result of replay.

That said, I HATE replay. Not because I think it has screwed Tennessee. I just can't stand how it delays the games. The breaks for TV are already unbearable, and now all the replay? I'd bet they spent 10-12 minutes last night on replay.

Unless the ball was around his groin, it was a first down. If we stop them sooner, we win. In fact, if we hold the ball more, instead of thinking we are Oregon, we win.

Unless he was holding the ball between his legs, it was clear that he made the line to gain.

No way anyone can prove he made it or that he did not by rule the call of the field should have stood.

I believe he made it the same way I think Manzeil made it yesterday in the LSU/TaM game but he was ruled short and replay would not turn it over because the booth could not see the ball. One official got it right the other did not.

They got the calls right on each and every replay. I have zero problem with it. Vandy did everything they could to hand the game over to us and we just wouldn't take it. That's what I have the biggest problem with!

True. But you can't spot a ball that you can't see under the current replay rules. The rules need to read different IMO.

If that's on the goaline and he's trying to determine if it's a score that spot would stand unless he could find the ball.

If we take the game out of the replay official's hand, and play better football, none of this is discussed.

We didn't on either account, and that's what sucking as a team gets you.

I was at the game so I saw very little of the replays, but what about Pigs catch? On the replay it looked like he regained control on the jumbotron. FYI We were crossing Gay Sreet on way back to car and the Escort for the officials came by. They may not be able reverse a call timely but they can sure drive fast!!

I think that one was a good call.

I have to agree that the ball could not be found on the replay. I see no way that indisputable evidence could be determined.

Another thing which has to be taken into account is that the TV camera angle was not directly down the line of the play. The camera angle was slightly behind the play so that would make it appear that the runner advanced further than he really did.

And measurement timeouts!

We are complaining about the wrong call. No delay of game penalty when they snapped late, the facemask penalty should have been called on the receiver, and the two spots given prior to the reply were generous to say the least. These all occurred on the last drive

3/4 of the QB's body was over the yellow line. It was the right call.

The yellow line is not an official line its suggestive, if the ball is at the QB's groin area they don't make the 1st, can you or the replay official tell me where the ball is at when his momentum is stopped?

It was the right call. The problem is that we were at a point in the game where we had to hope for a bad spot to win. Pathetic.
