The Official #21 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Al Davis]

Yes, but they can hold and not get called for it just like Bama, so….

It’s unbelievable and laughable at this point.

 

[I Love Lamp]

I am so tired of watching our defensive players being held without any calls

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Maybe it's good some of this inconsistency is gone. Any DB that's good can come here and play early

They’ll be coached the same way our current DBs have been

 

[VOL RN]

Same week, same fans complaining about the refs haha. We just ain’t good guys.

 

[ButchPlz]

Holding on every play, but I don't understand why banks is setting back and not bringing pressure. When we bring pressure or defense is so much better, when we don't we SUCK

We can't get pressure. Baron is getting held every damn play. Pearce just got dragged down backwards on a pressure. How do you beat refs that don't give a **** about calling plays by the rules?

 

[PA Vol]

Ironically, I talked to my dad on the phone today for the first time in months. We got to talking about the Bama game and the officiating, my dad is def more prone to defend refs having been one himself, but he's close friends with an active ACC ref and he said they were hanging out at a wedding a few weeks back and that referees in the SEC are widely considered to be a joke.

 

[orangerush]

If we retain Martinez and banks....will never change.

I doubt Huep will make any changes but at some point players play to the level of their coaching.

 

[joevol33]

I guess every other comment is going to be about the officials.

To be fair, it is ridiculous

 

[onthehill71]

They scored 13 pts in 4 qts against Ga. The loss of Haddon has totally thrown our secondary off. Leary looks like Rattler last year, unstoppable.
Very pitiful pressure on him. We'd better not fall behind.

 

[vol94]

I don’t even post about officiating as it’s bad everywhere, every week. They must maintain composure and play through it. There isn’t any excuse for this performance.

 

[posivol]

lets go guys

 

[captainsword]

Score here and then get the ball at the 3rd quarter and score again. Kentucky fights. Much respect to Stoops. He definitely has done more with that program than I ever thought possible.

No doubt. I wish he would leave.

 

[Spawn]

Nice. 2 mins, 3 TO's and run up the middle wasting a minute

 

[CMcEver]

Is Wright hurt?

 

[lifeisdeep]

This vols coaching staff gets a game plan and sticks to it no matter what they never change even if it's not working

Leave our poor coaches alone! They don’t get paid enough to adjust.

 

[Vol737]

Is Banks going to rush more than four down linemen tonight at all??

 

[BeardedVol]

This seems like a perfect time to call 3 runs up the middle.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He won’t say anything to scared

They can fine and suspend coaches for dissing the officials

 

[Other_Guy]

Banks and martinez have to go. How many more games of this garbage do we have to see?

I'm not willing to throw Banks under the bus until Martinez is gone. Until then it's hard to know because there's a lot of good from him. Always ends up being the secondary that screws them.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

If TN wants a championship team, Heupel had to make big boy decisions for coaches. This staff is not adequate

 

[vols 30]

Williams fair catching with lots of room is Really stupid

 

[Saturdays_We_Volunteer]

At least they fielded the kick return fair catch right this game……..

 

[Caz]

I guess every other comment is going to be about the officials.

It always is.

 

[posivol]

why are we runninng

 

[MiramarVol]

I can't remember an INT that our DB's made in coverage when they were running downfield. All I can remember are INT's when they are facing the QB.
