The Official #11 Tennessee @ #6 Alabama Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[Hurley Mooncalf]

I seriously think for us to overcome the ref bias, we'd have to score 21 extra points beyond whatever # we actually need.

 

[orangerush]

Winning on the road is not Heup’s strong suit.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Piss poor coaching.

Coach is not making them false start

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

A FG here would be huge, go into the half 16-10 would be a major W after the mo swing.

We need a TD to keep pace. Our defense isnt gonna hold up in the second half.

 

[Butch s]

Did yall notice on the late hit the defender intentionally hit Aguilar on the neck?

Yep. Drove forearm into back of his neck

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I will say, as tough as this half has been, we’re in the game. Praise Be !

We’re fine

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Something has to be done about officiating in college football. They need to be full time employees that sit their asses in a classroom for 6 months before they take the field every fall.

 

[Godfatha]

Well if you listen to folks on here it’s just incompetence. Never mind it’s at crucial moments in big games against ga and al.

Funny how the incompetence always benefits certain programs

 

[Frozevol]

That ref is gonna get a ass chewing at the half for throwing that flag

You’re joking, right?

 

[GhostVol]

That ref is gonna get a ass chewing at the half for throwing that flag

But will it matter?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Winning on the road is not Heup’s strong suit.

Never had been

 

[Big Orange Captain]

SEC officiating is suspect.

been that way for a long time

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Did yall notice on the late hit the defender intentionally hit Aguilar on the neck?

I thought that’s what I saw.. old dirty

 

[VawlDave]

Out of curiosity can anyone state one time those screens have worked for this team since 21?

They work when you have a qb like Joe Milton who can throw 100mph. It gives you a time advantage if you can get a fast wr one on one in space. No other qbs have had the velocity for it to be an advantage play

 

[Flipdaddy]

No, if anything go in 6 down

 

[orange_glory]

Need a TD. No field goal since bama gets ball first

Hype gotta be conservative with a FG. We probably won't get in range.

 

[hUTch2002]

Winning on the road is not Heup’s strong suit.

It’s tough for all teams.

 

[molsen81]

A win would mean a lot for UT but, big ask in Tuscaloosa.

A win would be consecutive victories over Bama. The SEC Commissioner won’t allow that.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

After this season if the SEC doesn't address officiating, I can only assume this is intentional. And I don't just mean our games, because the officiating across the conference has been absolutely abysmal this year.

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

At least with Sick Naban I respected them. Now they’re just rat poison.

Screw nick saban

 

[VOL RN]

Gonna get ugly when we don’t finish this drive with points.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Because we get a false start about 95% of the time we try to go fast.

started 1St offensive series fast. Bama bigs get winded and our RBs start running

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

I seriously think for us to overcome the ref bias, we'd have to score 21 extra points beyond whatever # we actually need.

Maybe 14

 

[Dudleys87]

But will it matter?

No

 

[vol94]

Did anyone think the officiating would go any other way than it has?..

It hasn’t been bad imo. We’ve held their d - linemen numerous times. The OPI was a good call imo. The false start was questionable- I agree.
