We didn’t do that last year. Why did we go back to shotgun in short yardage?

Floriduh Game Notes

View attachment 579598

That pass interference no call would have been a TD. The refs aren’t helping even though we still look really bad.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Time for another deep ball. Need a quick score.

 

[C-south]

I don’t understand the referees respotting the ball there, we did not substitute, so there should have been no reason to delay that call?

Yea they’re crooked or inept.

 

[rocketskates]

I don’t understand the referees respotting the ball there, we did not substitute, so there should have been no reason to delay that call?

The Florida players pointed so the refs just took their word for it. Par for the course when it’s Tennessee playing

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I can’t believe we’re losing to these bums.

I’m not even mad anymore. Pure apathy.

 

[BADGER_VOL]

I gotta admit everything looks very discombobulated. All over the place both sides of the ball.

 

[orange_glory]

Just think if we would have kicked the field goal and then score here

 

[TheVolsFrog]

4th and 1and you lineup in the shotgun. Automatically becomes 4th and 7

Gotta do like Philly does with Hurts. Put a big guy behind him and push the line

 

[bluevols27]

That stoppage cost us on that drive. We’ve been looking better in the 2nd half.

 

[rockytop36]

When Kirk is saying we got screwed… by god we got screwed

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Need a td here.

 

[SAPPER 5]

We're getting jobbed there. Gotta keep hitting Mertz...

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Why didn’t we take the points? Had we and score here, it’s a 6 point game.

 

[ttocswob]

SEC Refs have to be the worst in history!

They’re good at what they do - they’ve got skin in the game, that’s all…

 

[Other_Guy]

We got hosed

Could've ran the FG unit out.

 

[TN1111]

Wow... defense is playing up in their faces and look what happens

 

[Frosty]

Refs definitely don’t help on days where we are off

 

[Vol865]

Opponents are playing two safeties deep and forcing Tennessee to throw underneath & use average RBs behind a below average OL.

There are plenty of actual passing concepts that work on 2 high safeties. Matter of fact, screens are NOT a good choice because that gives them 3 vs 2. Screens work better against cover 3.

 

[lawgator1]

Even Herbstreit said that was trash by the refs!!! Wtf

No, he said that the explanation may be that you substituted a player first. I don't know if thats what occurred, I am sure we will find out later. But it's not as simple as you think.

 

[rocketskates]

Actually so far in this half we aren’t playing bad but we need a TD here to get some momentum going

 

[84Volfan]

Make it a 2 score game. Easy call.

Technically it's a 2 score game now

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Please capitalize on the nice field position

 

[DirtyDawg]

I’m not big on blaming refs, but it feels like they took some TN points off the board there.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I’m not even mad anymore. Pure apathy.

Ah, we’ve been through apathy. It’ll be ok.
