Be nice to score quick here and then go up two scores after the half

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

we are going to be really really bad next year. Losing a lot off of a team that’s already average at best

 

[chattavol420]

We did earlier, and they hit one across the middle where the LB was, for 11 yards and a 1st down.

Well, for about 10 consecutive passing plays, we only bring four and the quarterback sits back there with zero pressure and throws an accurate pass every time. I think I’d rather bring pressure and make him get it out of his hands knowing the secondary is our weakness. Give the qb that much time and he’ll complete a pass every time

 

[RockyTop140]

What is up with the no calls on these holds? I’ve seen baron held multiple times and Burrell just got held bad too. Whenever I look for it it ruins watching the game for me.

 

[Orange931]

I can’t believe the holds they aren’t calling

I can. This is weekly against us

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Holy **** #4 got held bad.

Yep. That one was blatant.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Apparently holding is legal now.

 

[AllVols]

Big hold out there on that TD and #4 come up pissed yelling at the refs. News flash Vols, you're not going to get those calls, you're going to have to fight through that and make a play.

 

[Allvols98]

I can understand one game or so where the refs just do their thing, but it's like every single game so far......

 

[BruisedOrange]

Need to do a gender check on TN. I don't think we have a D XX.

fyp

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Has anyone noticed these are the same refs from the Alabama game? I've seen at least 3 OBVIOUS holds against them and no call. At some point someone has to look into this crap.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

how the heck is this a top 25 D

 

[ENGRVOL]

These entire quarters or half that our defense just doesn’t show up allowing opponents to score on 3-4 consecutive drives are really confounding. Has happened in pretty much every sec road game except a few these past seasons.

 

[Flipdaddy]

Let’s blame everything on holding. Why do we do that every friggin week.

Because it’s real

 

[ButchPlz]

Joe needs to rip a fastball nutshot on the umpire.

 

[aaronvol]

That's 54 points given up by the D, particularly the secondary the last almost 4 Qtrs.

44

 

[AthensVol2007]

WTF is this defense being cheated game in and game out with no holding calls!!?? This is Remember the Titans-esque fixing going on.

 

[Volbrando]

Be nice to score quick here and then go up two scores after the half

3 and out coming soon.

 

[VolBoyFord]

With these refs maybe

Yeah the refs are playing 10 yards off receivers and missing tackles.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Does Kentucky not hold either? Bc I've seen quite a few...

 

[DaddyChad]

I think next year is going to be rough

Next year?!? Tonight maybe the spiked strap on if we don’t figure some things out.

 

[wmcovol]

Why don't we run that DB-falls-down pass play more often? Halzle is killing us!

That dude was beat before he fell

 

[lifeisdeep]

85 hold. Again. Arm hold. Clear as day. Just. Are. Not. Going. To. Call. It.

Sankey should just be sued for wild incompetence.

Racketeering is the word you’re looking for. Pretty sure it’s a felony.

 

[TNVOLFN]

Bad secondary and hot QB = not a good combo

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

This defense is awful
