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

This is on Heupel’s play calling in the second half.

It’s on everybody. I wouldn’t call out huepel just yet. I like Tn football a lot better since he’s been here.

 

[UTK]

Game all changed with the fair catch at the 3

No call on the first big run as well. You ain’t gonna call all holds but you have to call blatant ones that lead to a big gain.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I can’t stand people always blaming the quarterback for a loss: Milton easily was one of the best players today. What hurt us most was playcalling. We were attacking in the first half and played not to lose in the second half. Also it’s near impossible to win at bama. For what it’s worth I’d much rather beat Georgia anyway!

He played a great quarter.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Milton lays an egg on the road again.

 

[LordBolton]

The 4th and 1 call changed all the momentum Whoever called that needs to be punched in the face hard by Josh Heupel. If he was responsible he needs to task someone with punching him. I was proud of our boys the first half though. The second half was the worst display of "football" I have ever had the misfortune to witness during Heupel's tenure.

 

[Volsfannn]

no[ooo it's not!!!!

Alabama is the most important game every year. So it kinda is

 

[BreatheUT]

If our beat writers do not report on the discrepancy in penalties then they are derelict of their duties.

 

[UTK]

How? Tell us please

Yeah it’s on the refs. CJH knew the inside job was in. Lol

 

[Cartervol]

Man I don't make millions of dollars but what the he'll did Heupel ever see in Milton to think he was ever going to be a good qb..

 

[volnutlolol]

Lol. Grow up with your fairytale. Damning people to fake purgatory for a football game.

goshdangit all burnnnnnn fooowtball is mah life

 

[gray0306]

done with this Milton dude but we're stuck with this stupid a@@

 

[AllVols]

WRs were great. DBs could do whatever they wanted because of the refs. Bru would've had 1 catch in the 2nd half with the trash playcalling.

Hard to argue that in this game. but they still don't get any separation, I don't care who we are playing.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

no[ooo it's not!!!!

lol people saying the season is over has never played sports and thank god they ain’t coaches.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

One day I hope Tennessee is a good enough team to warrant protection from the officials.

 

[deezvols]

Yeah you really thought you did something there. Like I said, you don’t go into Tuscaloosa and win 3 points at a time.

Right, we should have been 0-5 on 4th down and lost 34-14 as opposed to taking points when can get them.

 

[djohnnyg]

Milton is a friggin quitter. What good is a 4 yd pass with no time left? What games has he led us in crunch time to a win? Anybody but him at qb. He's as dumb as a rock.

 

[nomads-11]

I guess we are the only team that doesn't throw 15 yard over the middle in garbage time. We throw short of the sticks

I'm trying to remember the last time it was used in non garbage time.

 

[PC Jr.]

He played a great quarter.

Keep hope alive.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Frustrating, but we are fine. Prolly 9-3 maaaaybe 10-2. Kitties and tiggers ain't that good. Columbia isn't Tuscaloosa.

 

[CPVOL]

My statement is still true…. Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish here.

That we went full blown conservative and played it safe by running it up the middle every other time while tossing side passes behind the los and were content with 3 in 3 trips down

 

[posivol]

Hey Joe, throw it towards the endzone buddy. Throwing to 9 yards with no time on the clock is just plain dumb. Guess that summarizes your career

6 defenders back

 

[loosecannon]

Refs were never letting Tennessee win this one. Never had a chance. Hope the referee's enjoy their cigar

We didn’t help ourselves out, but calling only one penalty when they had like 15 two weeks ago says something about a crew. They pushed the limits in the second half with the holds and never got flagged.

 

[jarnol32]

Mark it down the team will end up 7-5 with losses coming to Kentucky, Missouri and Georgia

Bet they don’t…

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I had that sinking feeling when we failed to score TDs instead of FG in the first Quarter. Unfortunately, my fears came true.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Down 14 why the flying **** were we worried about someone being open. Chuck the damn thing down field. Who cares if you throw a pick

No football IQ. Simple.
