What Was Your "Ugliest Play of the Year" for 2012?

[1974Vol]

The 2012 Vols were about as fundamentally unsound a football team as I have ever seen at that level of play, especially on defense and special teams.

Coaching is teaching so I don’t know what part of that teaching / learning formula broke down but it was ugly to watch.

My two nominations for ugliest play of the year are:

1. Rivera standing and watching a live kickoff hit the ground for Vandy to recover.
2. Both the corner and safety taking the same receiver on the play that allowed Missouri to make a 40+ yard TD completion in the waning seconds of the game to force OT.

What was your "ugliest paly'?:cray:

Had to be the UGA game when Bray fumbled in the 4th after getting stripped from behind on our way down the field

 

[VOLinAL]

If my memory recalls the UF game T. Burton burning our entire defense. At that moment I knew thats how the season would go.

 

[tumscalcium]

Lol. There can't be just one. Hahahahahaha

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Anytime UF was on offense against UGA, and the second I saw us wearing blue jerseys and orange pants in the Sugar Bowl.

There were plenty, but one has to be the ugliest

This one.... I remember this one above all others. He beat us around the corner and threw a nasty stiff arm to Teagues face and out raced us to the endzone. I was at the game, and I remember turning to my buddy next to me and saying, "If Trey Burton can burn our secondary for a 60 yard TD run around the edge, we are in for a long season." Burton is a terrific football player, but he isn't a burner by any means.

Bray taking a knee with 33 seconds left in regulation against Mizzou with the score knotted at 28.

Yeah between ya'll's performance in that SB and our desperate coaching search we made 'ol Charlie a rich man. :ermm:

It was the Burton 80yd run. At that point in the season we were playing hard and still had a great chance to win that UF game, we'd been leading all day. But after that, Tennessee seemed to turn into a different team the rest of the year. Sickening tackle attempts and angles on that play.

This. Unfortunately, I was there.

 

[Boca Vol]

The kickoff against Miss State where Rivera, I believe, just watched it land in front of him. SAD!

 

[PotS]

Kicking the FG against Alabama with 4 minutes left in the game -- down 44-10.

 

[R0CKYT0P 16]

Tyler Bray being sacked by Clowney in the red zone and fumbling in the last minutes of the game.... Tiny almost had Clowney completely out of that game.

 

[Majorvol23]

If my memory serves me, it would be the 4th & 24 that South Carolina scored on right across the middle ... just get a stop there and we win that game.

I had forgotten about that one. Truly ugly:no:

True. I'll have to think about it haha. Clowney's one play against us comes to mind.

 

[Majorvol23]

It was obvious to everyone in the stadium and on TV that they were gonna go to the end zone .... somehow Sal & Moore didn't realize it. Pathetic really.

 

[Pacer92]

Marsalis Teague getting burned...can't remember which time, though!?!

 

[VolFromNashville]

I can't remember any specific play. Every time the offense left the field, my memory fades out to white until the offense returned.

Sounds like the football version of PTSD:unsure:

 

[volfanCLT]

The Burton 80 yd TD.

Thanks for the diagnosis, doctor. My symptoms have improved since Coach Jones took over. I won't be fully cured until UT wins a National Championship though.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Marcus Lattimore's leg injury.

 

[tumscalcium]

The Burton 80 yd TD.

That was vomiting ugly.
