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

No he didn't. He shouldn't have challenged but that didn't cost us the game.

Cost us a shot at the game.

But I don't think that is what we should take from this game as a whole.

Offsides? 1st Attempt

Another angle

Butch doesn't have the courage or intelligence to win big. Period. Call me negavol or whatever but it's the truth. One man who does and has ties to our program... Peyton and his career should be wrapping up right about that time

 

[johnboyhunter]

Dobbs was 65% with at least 5 drops.

I have no words for how dumb this is ^

Team played very hard against a superior team. Coaching staff got a little out coached. Still overall a good game. We're just not there yet.

 

[RocketPropelled]

did the officials actually call an offsides on our onside kick AFTER THE FACT, while the play was being reviewed? Didn't see it. They cannot do that, can they?

That's kind of what I thought. My buddy has a screen cap. NO ONE was offsides. It wasn't called on the original penalty announcement. It was a face-saving maneuver by the refs.

This is what happens when we get any kind of attention, game day, sec network. ... we choke on the big one...

 

[UTodd01]

O line definitely reared it's ugly head this game.

 

[Wilhelm16]

I'm getting really sick of hoping for 6-6. Beat SOMEONE for F***'s sake! It's like we were just being a good host tonight. No matter how many times MO tried to hand us the game we were like "No, we insist. You're the guest."

 

[VOLFAN_JD]

The future is bright! Top 5 in recruiting and getting depth that we lack against these others programs. We lose very little contributors for next year. It is frustrating but look at the big picture.....it's going to be great!

 

[utvolkyle06]

Mistakes made out of passion. If anyone thought that CBJ would have the type of experience to compete in this conference they were wrong. But that being said he has potential upside off of the charts he will grow up with all these upperclassman, and if he keeps recruiting well we will be a really, really good in time.

Son of a....there is a curse. I believe. Gawd let it end.

I think they said the kicker was offsides. If you watch the replay his left foot crosses the line b4 he kicks it I believe.

 

[armchair]

Hasn't missouri won, like 8 straight SEC ROAD games? Totally unbelievable.

 

[peerless98]

I don't see this as embarrassing at all. What exactly is the deal with the fan base?

As a rule, the fan base is not very bright!

 

[checkerboards09]

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

 

[VolzMan53]

29-21....better Team won tonight but Big Orange once again showed improvement on both sides of the ball, however, was not impressed with play calling.

Bring on the anchor down pansies and let's get to a dayum bowl even if it's against Memphis in the Liberty Bowl !

 

[vols 30]

It wasn't the primary reason we lost. Not even close.
But, it ended the game.
Challenging the call ended the game.

O-line and justin Coleman

 

[VolsinSC]

Please stop the 3rd down for what

I wish they would stop all the piped-in rock/rap music at every college stadium. That's what the bands are for and what makes it special. They even play that crap at youth games now.

 

[beansncornbread]

That was our ball!!! They reviewed it to!

 

[ukvols]

Awful awful decision to even.chance it but Mizzu could have made the FG and not made a difference with like 30 secs left.

Or missed.
They missed from 51. This one wouldn't have been much closer than that.

Look at the kicker.

Tell me you are joking.

It was bad. Play to win.
