The Official Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, SEC Network

We always end up with the absolute worst officiating crew!

Like there is no explanation.

I don't think KY got a single penalty, we are getting all the bad calls.

It’s rigged. There’s no way it just bad luck to have so many bad calls game after game

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We just lost to Kentucky boys. We cant stop their run game much less score ourselves.

Quitter.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

It's about time they penalized our coaching staff... they've been downright putrid

 

[vavolfan6]

The sad thing is...Lyn Bowden doesn't even look like an impressive athlete. He's just another guy running the option and we can't make the stop.

 

[Carl Pickens]

We’ll see what the Vols are made of the 2nd half. They’ve seen all KY has on O....

 

[orangerush]

KY just punched the defense in the mouth about 50 times

 

[minorvol]

Was that not interference on KY?

Yes it was.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Some support staff guy ran in to separate players and he shoved a Kentucky player. Bad call... but he doesn't need to be touching their guys.

People shove harder at a Spice Girls concert.

Outside of the disaster that was the first quarter, I think we are fine. When Cheney has called conservative nonsense, we've looked bad. Otherwise I like our chances.

Not over yet but if we don't make some serious adjustments, you may be right!

 

[GhostVol]

That’s was a sad display of football officiating

FTFY

 

[VolsSportsFan]

FYI South Carolina is losing to App St. 13-6 in the 3rd.

Ok, there is a second half.

 

[TJVol95]

Shouldn’t that be a face mask?

Yes but these refs suck every week!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Dare I say it? Where is JG and why isn’t he playing?

Hes looking forward to directing Rutger's high-powered offense

 

[amaralfan1]

Also worth noting, Kentucky folds if they only get 2 or 3 yards on first down.

 

[G0V0LS33]

True, but you’re also acting like JG brings a lot to the table

Again the difference here is there would be page after page of posts about him needing to be benched. Maurer has less than 100 yards of offense in the first half but it is supposed to be ok because of the UT double standards

 

[vol94]

Let’s hope Ky is KY during 2nd half and turns it over. Our offense is plain and simple Putrid!

O line struggling, receivers aren’t getting separation and drop balls.

Defense - need three and outs. Long drives is the best medicine for KY defense. We must get stops and more offensive possessions.

1st series of 2nd half Is critical as we must get points.

 

[NATHAN05]

That's a flag? Good lord!!!

The coach entered into the bubble of the kentucky player invading his safe space. The player felt threatened and will possibly need counseling for at least 6 months due to trauma recieved.........thus the flag. It's sad, but I get it as that's society now.

 

[I4Vols]

These refs love throwing flags against us

But it's been stuck in their pocket when there is a face mask (either team...)

 

[jblank]

What are you seeing that gives you confidence?

 

[UTK]

If the Vols don't pitch a shutuout the 2nd half, people need to be fired.

 

[C-south]

Bottom line is the defense is absolutely atrocious even when they know the play. Inexcusable for an sec defense to allow a wr to run all over them every play.

 

[TrentVol]

UT offense in 1st half - 98 yards


LOL

Feels Like 98

 

[GAVol]

People shove harder at a Spice Girls concert.

It was weak for sure. But still... don't touch the other team.
