The Official Tennessee vs. #20 Missouri Game Thread, 7:30pm ET, ESPN

[Sandvol]

Never heard of calling offsides on a kicker.

 

[drodvol]

Final score 29-21 Missouri.

'night all[


Is what it is...a loss... Ill still be a VOL in the morning and I always will be. Thanks for keeping all of us without coverage informed. For all who believe us destined for permanent failure your wrong. To many X factors tonight. AJ gone, passes dropped that shouldn't have been, Bad calls, am I making excuses Hell yes and they are all legit. Night VOL Nation keep the faith!!!

 

[orangefloyd]

I never knew we had this many embarrassingly stupid fans.

 

[patrick]

At least butch will own it but this has been a head scratcher

????

Own what - I have not seen him own a loss in his tenure

 

[ToptheTerrible]

I have no words for how dumb this is ^

So true. It was one of the more idiotic.

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Wouldn't have mattered but butch got a little retarded on the challenge and cost us a timeout. That wasn't smart.

It does matter. 4th down would've resulted in a 40+ yard FG attempt. That gives us a chance. Being able to run out the clock gives us no chance.

 

[TnWalker]

Look at the kicker.

His plant foot can be offsides with no penalty.

 

[UTodd01]

Malone has been a disappointment all year.

Nothing new there.

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Not really. Missouri changed defense on us

What?! Did they stop rushing? We threw quick slants and out plays. All plays the ball was gone in under 2 seconds. Bajakian is absolute garbage. Been saying it all year. People said he was great because we put up 50 on UK. Josh Dobbs has been saving his job and making him look good. Now we get a decent defense and he changes his calls up in the last drive of the game. Actually, I'd bet CBJ took over play calling that series.

 

[1972 Grad]

Does anybody still think it was a grand idea to not attempt to score before half?

Reminds me of Dooley against Missouri in 2012 at the end of the 4th.

 

[Phat-Phil]

Offsides? 1st Attempt

Another angle

The kicker was offsides. His left foot crossed b4 he kicked.

 

[patrick]

Don't lose sight of the fact that we got dry screwed on the first onside kick. The refs essentially created an offside penalty after the review that they didn't even call before the review.

the line judge thru the flag for the offside when it occurred - that was the flag that came in before any player touched the ball

 

[checkerboards09]

It was bad. Play to win.

Butch went full Dooley tonight. I wanna be fully onboard, but when s*** like tonight happens, it don't help the cause. Pathetically coached game tonight. Embarrassing.

 

[Wilhelm16]

To be fair our right tackle is playing on a torn ACL.

That should tell you exactly how terrible they are...a guy with a torn ACL is still the best option at RT.

 

[armchair]

The offense was helpless tonight. Hurd got nothing on the ground, Dobbs got nothing on the ground, we couldn't throw it for three quarters, mostly because Dobbs had no time. We needed to pound on missouri and couldn't do it. Our injuries hurt us in this game too--aj, wrs, center.

 

[fade route]

I never knew we had this many embarrassingly stupid fans.

We do. They give Finebaum enormous credibility.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Our goal this year was a bowl game, amirite?

Yep. The predictable freak outs are in full effect. A 6-6 season is a success. Just a little over a month ago, there were Nancy's on here that said we wouldn't win 5 games. Now we are one win away from 6 wins. This loss sucks but now it's on to Vandy.

 

[UTodd01]

Butch went full Dooley tonight. I wanna be fully onboard, but when s*** like tonight happens, it don't help the cause. Pathetically coached game tonight. Embarrassing.

Stuff like this happens to all coaches.

It's magnified here because it's our coach.

 

[VonVol]

They didn't. It was flagged, but not announced. Bad reffing, but not the wrong call.

How about get lost. The UK game happened. You got your brains beat in. Leave.

 

[acd4476]

I don't understand why the trolls are so stupid that they don't realize this. Butch did what he had to do on the challenge. We only had two timeouts left anyway and would have had little to no time to do anything.

no trolls aren't dumb. butch just trolled everyone with that TO. you cant challenge when the replays showed you didn't have a chance at getting the ball...remember conclusive evidence and it wasnt even close. better to have the ball with 30 sec and a chance then a qb kneel down.

 

[bam025]

Would butch fire any of his staff or is he too loyal?

 

[1972 Grad]

I never knew we had this many embarrassingly stupid fans.

If you never knew that, how smart do you think that makes you look?

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Never heard of calling offsides on a kicker.

Was that the call??? I saw the flag before the ball was touched but during the replay, none of our players were past the LOS. I wasn't paying attention to the kicker of course.

 

[VolFan4Life10]

The kicker was offsides. His left foot crossed b4 he kicked.

The kickers plant foot can be offside.

 

[casetopia]

They didn't. It was flagged, but not announced. Bad reffing, but not the wrong call.

the flag was for illegal touching. they even said that. then after the review they said oh ok then it was offsides. it was more bs. same shlt different week
