Absolutely Horrible Game Management with 1:24 Left

[BigOrangeTrain]

we won

True. But that doesn’t excuse the horrible clock management.

 

[rocketskates]

I didn’t mind it until we got to the 50. We needed about ten yards for Max to get a try and had two timeouts. No excuse for squandering that opportunity. Luckily we won.

This is a fireable offense

GTFO

 

[Vol737]

Draw play with 15 seconds left? Let a whole minute just bleed lackadaisicaly. Horrible.

I still haven’t gotten over three runs up the middle late in the 4th vs UGA. What the what? Attack! We’ve passed them silly all game and he chooses to do that?? It really is a mystery where his brain goes in these moments.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Inexcusable

Explain how. We won

You are supposed to get to the other side of the 50 before you start bleeding clock, we just started way too early.

The run there was fine to get the first down but you have to immediately call a timeout and reset and plan how you’re going to get the next 10 yards to get a fg attempt. Can’t be trying snap the ball as soon as refs mark it ready for play there.

We should’ve had 2 more plays there.

We won but damn most of that game was hard to watch

 

[VolTom1]

Should have spiked the ball and stopped the clock instead of running another play that was seconds we needed

They had two timeouts right? No need to spike the ball.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Typical UT fan response. Truth is we are the best 5 yr stretch in a quarter century. How quickly we forget. Lol

No one has forgotten. How long are you going to measure our success as compared to the butch/dooley/pruitt years? You should evaluate your standards. I benchmark the team that UT should be and has been. Not the dumpster fire. Continue to use our worst years as your measuring stick if it makes you feel like we are on fire.

 

[Switch 625]

Had 2 timeouts left and lost like 40 seconds just letting clock burn. That was as bad as I have ever seen and I watched GA game.

Exactly. Imagine letting the clock run out on your team on their game-winning drive while you cling to two timeouts. Honestly, I think he freezes up under pressure.

 

[OrangeInKy]

What were you doing???

I was yelling

 

[wmcovol]

This is a fireable offense

Butch Jones would have been proud.

 

[NighthawkVol]

This is a fireable offense

We appreciate your willingness to self-identify.

 

[joevols89]

Butch Jones would have been proud.

Even Butch Jones was questioning what Heupel was doing at the end of the game.

 

[EZE]

We have so many sh!tty fans.

 

[EZE]

This is a fireable offense

Yep. Let’s fire a coach with 30 wins in 3 years and get back on the Dooley-Butch-Pruitt hamster wheel.

So dumb.

My point is that people on here talking about fireable offenses is totally ridiculous. We are lucky to have Heupel. If you don't see that, you are delusional.

Exactly, let's not forget we are a missed, makable FG against GA away from being undefeated and easily in the top 10.

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Iwas an ugly win,no rythm,and bad clock usage.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Fahr everyone

 

[smokeycoonhoundUT]

We won so I’m trying not to complain.. but my gosh that was awful.. wth was Heupel doing there?

 

[Rocky Top T]

Terrible coaching!

My buddy and I were just screaming, “run a play”! I can’t Waite to hear the explanation. That is if any of the reporters will be brave enough to ask it.
