Incompetence.

I'm just wondering what they could've seen that caused them to make that call. They have a group of people looking at it. Crazy to think they could all be that wrong. . . but it appears they were.

Part of the risk of relying on deep balls is that they are a lower percentage throw. We had 2-3 steps a few times tonight but we weren’t 8 yards away. With pressure in your face, it’s tough to make those throws.

Definitely don’t understand sending Fant on one of those

Did Burton punch any LSU sorority girls last night?

No, but heard he back-handed a lady using a walker.

 

[LA Vol]

Don't worry about a shirt, just take all your home equity and put it on UCLA.

Yeah, I never bet on-- or against-- Chip Kelly.

Can someone post the Beamer celebrating picture please?

I hope we can recruit these studs. As a poster said above, our guys were in position on offense and defense. We were just out talented. We need more dudes. That Bennett missed tackle for a house call was prime example. Need a talent infusion

Our defense needs to run through the QB there instead of diving at his feet. Force him to make a difficult throw, throw it away, or take a sack. Diving at his feet only gives him the opportunity to escape if they miss.

If we get the chance to play Georgia again, I would love for our entire defense to McGregor strut after every Bennett sack. I don't mind confidence and even cockiness, but his smugness is annoying as hell.

Hooker HAS to be much, much better. I think Heupel’s offense has covered up a lot of his shortcomings but he’s gotta be better for us in these situations to have a chance.

Poor pocket awareness a lot of the game, high on a lot of intermediate throws, and missed the deep shots. Windows and opportunity shrink against a team like Georgia and you gotta be great.

Love Hendon and we need him to be elite in games like this moving forward. What does he do when options 1 and 2 aren’t there? That’s where he’s gotta improve and become more decisive imo

Hey SEC Commish Sankey…

 

[SpringBokVol]

I actually think we will be 3rd on Tuesday.

Being No 1 and losing on the road will not hurt us that much.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

So they admitted they planned on committing DPI and DH? They got away with a ton of it yesterday.

Also what would that dickhead have said if Hendon hits those open shots he did get? They were there, he just sucked at hitting them yesterday.

He seems like the type of guy who tips 10% because the server put too much ice in his Diet Coke.

I said it in the game thread too, but I think he may be Beamer’s bastard son. They have the same facial expressions.

Georgia definitely looked like they had the better athletes

Top-3 talent vs #19?? Naww surely not

We need our scheme to elevate our talent in those games. We had our wide open shots and missed. That's all we can ask for are opportunities.

Jmo but on a neutral field...given those same opps, we make it a game. And in a 1-game series, you never know...

 

[Devo182]

Agreed. We only beat Mizzou by 4 last year. Plus, GA only beat them by 4 this year, FL beat them by 7, and KY beat them by 4. This game may be closer than some would like. If we start counting our chickens before they hatch, the eggs may be taken from our basket.

Team needs to stay focused and take care of business.

Agree Mizzou is our last best hurdle. But we sure didn't beat them by only 4 last year

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

This is all correct and I’m a little disappointed with myself to be feeling as down as I do today. Not as down as I did after Purdue or UGA 2020. I should be giddy this is such a good season and a strong finish will likely restore those feelings, but dadgummit I think the Vols are good enough to have competed better than they did and I’m just bummed we sorta fell flat.

Beat Mizzou bad and I’ll be back to feeling good though, I think. Just take care of business.

Me too...I was prepared for a loss, but I was not prepared for being embarrassed....plus I f'n hate Georgia and Kirby Smart.

 

[Kristy*]

Has anyone figured out how they didnt call a safety on that review?

No. It was either an incomplete forward pass or a safety. Looked like a pretty clear pass to me as he lost the ball as his arm was going forward. It seems like the officials didn't want to make either team unhappy there and split the difference calling it the one thing it couldn't have been.

Seems like the committee will see it more as a game that highlights UGA as the clear No. 1 rather than as a game that "exposed' us.

My best guess at the CFP rankings this week (I’m sure everyone will agree 100% and we will all get along and be civil about it):

1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Michigan
4. Tennessee

5. TCU
6. Oregon

7. LSU
8. Ole Miss

Agree though I'd even put Michigan over OSU. Michigan WHIPPED PSU, while OSU struggled. OSU again struggled vs an AWFUL team, which Michigan is yet to do.

I'd also leave TCU behind UT. They absolutely struggled to beat a measly 4-5 Texas Tech team.

 

[vol4eva]

Only way we don’t make the playoffs is TCU and Oregon winning the rest of their games. Of course, we have to win our games.

 

[drvenner]

May as well start the conversation now.... will we be wearing orange helmets?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Really is crazy the fork in the road that UGA and Bama took since Kirby has been at UGA. Do they still have that S&C coach that Kirby took from Bama too?

Georgia would easily beat Bama this year.

We have to narrow the talent gap too...we are working on it. I can't wait to see the West Joseph's, Pearce and Herrring etc etc defense we put on the field in a couple of years. That one won't be fun to play against after three years of S&C and experience.

Plus conference championships.

The odds are sooo far in our favor.

We got this.

And TTU’s QB got hurt…. Same when they played Kansas. Luckiest undefeated team
