Who said run it? Everyone knew it was a pass on 2nd down with 9 seconds. You might go all in on the next play but everyone knew that would be a pass and you may as well have your best receivers in the game. Have one read and if it’s not there throw it out of the end zone. The play action jumbo bs was never going to work.

No I'm saying if you're going to do a dumb pass everyone seeing coming, and youre going to be in that package, you might as well try to surprise them by actually running it

 

[ButchPlz]

What was the point of going for 2 there?

To be down 8. Being down 9 is pointless.

 

[Carl Pickens]

I dont go to the games so perhaps I shouldnt complain, but I'd say people that have been nearly priced out of going have a right lol

That’s fair

 

[DirtyDawg]

Dang, that would've been for the lead

Yep, for that one bad play TN is winning. Not over yet though. Great run there!

 

[CobbWebb71]

That 3 to end the half would’ve looked pretty smart right now, huh?

 

[butler5]

What a Run by Bishop, and that cutbacks to get behind Matthews was nice

 

[Lekvolrrah]

well I didn't agree w that call

 

[BP4Prez]

How can this man have a seesaw effect on his playcalling. There is zero reason to go for 2 there.

You make it and it’s a one score game. It was the right call

 

[Volholic]

I hope he’s not in his head now

 

[Majors]

Heupel has to get out of his own way sometimes. Between time management and chasing points he’s costing us.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Don’t like chasing points this early.

Shows nervousness.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Umm just kick it!!! Let’s go y'all!

 

[orangerush]

Just take the 1 point.

 

[VOLinAL]

Should have waited on going for two. We also need to rethink our pass plays from within 5 yards. What ever happened to the corner fade?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Surprised Bishop had that in the tank after that sprint on the INT.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Don’t like chasing points this early.

Either way we would have been two scores behind. It was a good call but terrible play

 

[clinical]

Absolutely no reason to go for 2 there

 

[JMSqb11]

Why? Regardless, its a 2 score game if you dont get it or kick the PAT

Our defense is playing lights out since the second bama possession.

There is no reason to chase points

 

[VolGirl81]

One step forward, two steps back

 

[CobbWebb71]

No I'm saying if you're going to do a dumb pass everyone seeing coming, and youre going to be in that package, you might as well try to surprise them by actually running it

But the charts don’t say to do that...

 

[VolunteerVFL]

Absolutely no reason to go for 2 there

Absolutely plenty of reason to go for 2 there

 

[Dergibvol]

Honestly the two times our d has got a stop bama decided to run the ball twice. Not sure why they aren't just letting Simpson throw.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Watch, a touchdown and field would win it and then we go to overtime and lose

It was smart. Two possession game either way

 

[JMSqb11]

You make it and it’s a one score game. It was the right call

Not that early. The defense is containing Bama and getting off the field. Heupel made that call acting like we only have 2-3 possessions left. Idiotic.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I’m 100% over the Heup era. He ain’t it. Some really really stupid decisions every game.
