The Official #17/15 Tennessee vs. #11 Alabama Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[BP4Prez]

The way we’ve played in the 2nd half is nothing short of horrendous. But you aren’t going to beat Saban in Alabama. They have one penalty called all game. Biggest play of the game we are called for a defensive hold on a play you could literally call every play and the ball soared 8!yards out of bounds.

2022- stop blaming the refs Bama, you got your ass beat

2023- refs cost Tennessee, this is bs

You honestly think they have only 1 penalty this entire game?

 

[Other_Guy]

Kentucky will give this team all they want next week. They can't get out of their own way sometimes and Milton will never be a good QB. Was hoping for serviceable by that is about gone too..

You people are blaming Milton???

 

[CPVOL]

Honestly, this had the look and feel of a Butch Jones' coached game.

Reminds me a lot of the Vandy loss in Nashville his year they were playing for the Sugar Bowl. Just an epic implosion on all levels

 

[posivol]

need a dee td

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I am good with those calls. You live by the sword..... part of the CJH makeup.

Not even upset with the aggressiveness, but it is the same call every single time. All year.

 

[BreatheUT]

I’m not one to whine about the officiating but this is the worst I’ve ever seen. They literally took the game from us without a doubt.

Alabama has 1 penalty. An obvious false start by the center. Something is rotten in Tuscaloosa.

The coaches lost this game, plain and simple

[K-town Vol Fan]

I just can’t put this game on Joe

Joe is a decent enough QB. Way too inconsistent to beat the elite teams in the league, especially in the road. He has played well but also missed a couple of absolutely crucial throws. There's blame to go around everywhere imo.

 

[ETV]

Y’all hear that from the Bama fans?

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Was the punt not downed at the 1??

It was. They moved it 2 yards to the 3 because:
A) They wanted to give Bama more room in order to lessen the chance of a sack and safety or touchdown
B) Saban told them to
C) Both A&B

 

[TennVols12]

You people are blaming Milton???

It’s easy for them. They don’t know.

Saban made adjustments at halftime. Heupel… not so much.

Heupel made no adjustments at halftime. And went conservative - it cost him a road win.

Heupel’s road record is as abysmal as his coaching in the second half.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Saban made adjustments at halftime. Heupel… not so much.

Tell us What adjustment would you make when up 20-7.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

You honestly think they have only 1 penalty this entire game?

No doubt. They didn’t even try to hide it

Watch the games.

 

[VolsRule]

Alabama- way too much talent for UT to deal with

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Alabama has 1 penalty. An obvious false start by the center. Something is rotten in Tuscaloosa.

But don’t blame the refs y’all.. smh yea okay

 

[mpfvol]

Bama has 1 penalty for 5 yards lol, and that was a false start on their center

That actually helped them

 

[joevols89]

People forget Josh Heupel's teams are consistently the most penalized team in the country. This isn't something new.

 

[PC Jr.]

Milton plays lights out and we take the ball out of his hands. This game is not on Milton…it’s squarely on the coaches. Play calling was horrendous second half. Criminal.

Milton owns a lot of this.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

He has gotten his chances today.

Not when we were first and goal twice unless my memory is failing which is always possible!

 

[Flipdaddy]

Not saying much…

I agree but without his production today it ain’t even close
