Why did we continue the same scheme the entire game after it became apparent that Beck was slicing up our secondary. Vols did a decent job stopping their running game, but we just continued rushing the same 4 guys all night and Beck had all the time in the world. Why didn't Banks mix it up and throw some blitzes at Georgia, at least TRY SOMETHING different.
The defense and offense have been so predictable this season, just keep running the same stuff. What happened to all the creative offense we saw during Heupel's first two seasons ?
Having said all that, the defense got absolutely screwed by near-criminal officiating calls/non-calls all night and especially on critical, game-changing plays.
They had Georgia stopped or forced into a 3d and long on each of their last three scoring drives when Ga fumbles were waved off, blatant holding was ignored, a flagrant forearm shiver by a Ga receiver right in front of an official was not penalized and an obvious illegal motion was not called. It appeared the refs had a mandate to do whatever it took to keep Georgia's offense moving. Infuriating - I wish Heupel had blasted them.
