2019 Season: Favorite Play

[Offset Eye]

For me, 8:23 in the 3rd QTR vs. South Carolina. UT is down 21-17.

We had just endured an inexcusable, missed facemask call against Fant. South Carolina calls a TO. The crowd is bat shite crazy from the replay, clearly showing a facemask with the ref standing there like Pete Rose. We all know what was going on...

Anyway, before the next play, Jennings basically waves off Pruitt in the huddle and calls the play himself (this is my version of what happened... let me have it). And on 3rd down, JG hits Jennings for the score over the middle in the back of the end zone. Jennings gets blindsided hard enough for the Holy Spirit to get knocked out of him. But the Dude abides. Touchdown... And an arm flex...

And there you have it. My favorite play of 2019.

What's yours?

4th down goal line stand vs Kentucky.

 

[GAVol]

The beast mode TD catch/run by Jennings before the half against SC was when I knew everything was going to be alright.

 

[Kshep58]

I’d have to say the touchdown by Byrd simply because we needed it at the time and couldn’t have gone to someone that needed it more than him

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Hmm ... tough call here.

Onside kick and recovery in the bowl game gets top billing for me I guess.

The 4th and goal stop against UK runs a very close 2nd.

I’d have to go with the onside kick against IU. We needed it badly, no one outside of the team and coaches expected it. And it was so well executed. But more importantly it proved that Pruitt has a really good football mind and a big set of elephant size balls to go along with the job. A gutsy call

The beast mode TD catch/run by Jennings before the half against SC was when I knew everything was going to be alright.

This is my vote. It being the one game I made this year gets it bonus points

One of my favorite moments of 2019.

 

[Mccage]

One of mine was the 95 yd run by Grey....I hate Vandy!

 

[Billy Ratliff]

Every Jauan Jennings play including the accidental face stomp IDGAF that man was born to play football.

 

[stevenrich2003]

Bituli blocked punt and recover for a TD in the end zone comes to mind.

 

[LittleVol]

Maurer to Callaway for 75 yard TD.

 

[DoyleMcOrange]

Maurer to Callaway for 75 yard TD.

BOOM

I'll go with that one. It was nice to finally see a long one that wasn't a rootypoot 50/50 jump ball pass.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

KY goal-line stand because:

1. I think our season would have been team-morale killing had we lost.
2. It shut those blue-lipped wannabes and butt suckers up. Was tired of their badmouthing UT.
3. I enjoyed the taste of my beer better than I would otherwise.
4. I like road killing blue-furred Felis Kentuckus fake cats. My car feels good about it too. So do my Hancock tires

There were so many critical plays throughout the season it’s hard to choose just one. There was no play more critical to a game than the on side kick vs. IU. However imo there was no play more critical to a season than Maurer to Calloway/Jennings vs UGA. Although it was in a losing effort and many won’t want to admit it, that game convinced the players as well as fans that UT was talented enough to play with anyone and set the coarse for the rest of the season.

 

[RollerVol]

all the above...

GO VOLS!

I’d have to say the touchdown by Byrd simply because we needed it at the time and couldn’t have gone to someone that needed it more than him

I would agree. I believe that play gave us a confidence and morale boost going into the back half of the season.

 

[SprocketRocket]

The beast mode TD catch/run by Jennings before the half against SC was when I knew everything was going to be alright.

Agreed, but don't you mean '...when I knew everything was going to be aight.'?

That play saved our season I thought, good call!

Eric Gray's 94 yd TD run

 

[Remy]

For me there can be only one from this past season. Late fourth quarter, UK has the ball first and goal. It's an obvious four down situation as UK needs the TD to win the game. 1st and second down go by, they can't get in UT holds.

3rd down and a few yards to the end zone, ball is snapped, UK's QB hands off the ball to their best RB he runs wider left, sees a hole

AND THE VOL'S HENRY TOO'TOO' BREAKS DOWN INTO TEXTBOOK LINEBACKER FORM, FILLS THE HOLE AND DROPS THE RB FOR NO GAIN!!!!

Okay I gotta go run around the block a few times and work this orange bloodlust off. That play is right up there with Eric Berry taking UGA's Knowshow Moreno up into the cheap seats. Those two plays fire me up just thinking about them.

JG goal line keeper vs. Bama.






Too soon?

 

[Hulavol]

The timeouts before the half against Alabama. Because, well you know.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

JG goal line keeper vs. Bama.






Too soon?

Man op that is a tough one . I'm going to go with the bird touchdown against miss state. Only game I got to attend this year and I was on the 45 yard line 3 rows behind state's bench. I seen it perfect right in front of me . Soon as I cought it I knew he was gone . Next would be warriors pick against Kentucky that saves us the game. And the goal line stand was pretty awesome as well .
