On tv we could hear the cheering while Bituli was down but couldn't tell what it was. It also seemed to get drowned out by some boos from our fans for the poor sportsmanship.Well, I don't know if they showed it on tv...during a timeout, the chearleaders and dudes with huge flags came out on the field. One guy waving his flag over the Tn huddle.
Then, we had an injured player on the field, listened to them chant IU the entire time our player was down.
I'm fine if they left feeling empty, good for them!!!!
It was Bituli. That pissed me off.Well, I don't know if they showed it on tv...during a timeout, the chearleaders and dudes with huge flags came out on the field. One guy waving his flag over the Tn huddle.

I sat on the IU side (with many in orange), they were more obnoxious than I expected.TV didn't show their cheerleaders on the field taunting our team nor did I understand what they were chanting during Bituli's injury but I was impressed with their mid-game play but now, after what you've reported ... screw 'em, both their team AND especially their fans. Go VOLS !!!

Yes they had no class when Bituli went down. They should be embarrassed!Well, I don't know if they showed it on tv...during a timeout, the chearleaders and dudes with huge flags came out on the field. One guy waving his flag over the Tn huddle.

Which one of those fine Hoosier players poked him in the eye? It looked like he was in some serious pain.
Additionally did anyone noticed when JJ caught the first down ball the two defenders continued to be overly aggressive after the whistle.
I'm sure they talked about JJ in game planning, try to get a PF on him or tossed out.
Maybe next bowl game red team
It really is. They were badly outmanned and when Tennessee was playing well to start the game, with energy and confidence, especially on defense, it was a true mismatch.that's a well coached team...hats off.
I was thinking about that play as I was reading the posts on here, and I agree in one way with what you said, except it looked to me like he actually punched Palmer as he was on the ground out of bounds after the catch. And I was also wondering if Betuli was intentionally poked in the eye, but they never showed a replay of it so I don't know.There was also the play when the IU player took both fists and forcibly pushed himself up off Josh Palmer after that critical 3rd down pass from Maurer. If I remember correctly we got a personal foul penalty called on us for an almost identical play against Alabama that gave them a 1st down after we had stopped them during a citical part of that game.
