All I ask do not blame kicker

[Volnanza]

This game should have been over prior to that .

We missed a lot of tackles and dropped some balls that should have been caught. I didn't agree with coach pulling the horns in there at the end. They were reeling and our O was ticking again. I wanted a TD. At worst we could still try the kick.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Gilbert should have nailed that. Replace him too. Being elite means you make that kick and he wasn't even close.

Then why don't we demand elite coaching?

After the Stockton fumble you go for the touchdown and you end it. Three runs up the middle and only burned 1 min off the clock.

The five yard penalty hurt big time. They clearly spent the next two plays just trying to get back into comfortable field goal range. The 3rd down is on Joey. He should have kept it on the read option. He would have walked for a first down. That’s why Heupel was so upset after the play.

 

[TheDeeble]

I don’t blame Gilbert. I blame Heupel for not trying to score or even move the ball downfield. He’d rather waste 30 seconds instead of trying for good field position.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

In this current NIL climate, I expect that kick to be made even when the coach should have kicked from the 20. Both share this L.

The ball was at the 20 and Heupel gets cute with the formation leading to a false start. They should have just kicked it from the 20.

I wondered if he thought that was the wrong read. Still not sure it should’ve gotten to that point.

All I ask is don’t be hateful toward the kicker. Don’t want to mention which - but I have a family friend who missed a FG in huge college rivalry game and he got horrible death threats and it was really bad for him. These kids go out and do their best and you’re a fan in the stands.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Yep this one is on Heupel

Yep. Nobody I’ve seen blames Gilbert.

 

[mackievol]

Yep. Nobody I’ve seen blames Gilbert.

Wrong.

 

[VFL_JB]

The head coach left him on the sidelines thinking about it, instead of just running him out there. But no, let’s run 2 or 3 meaningless plays. Yeah he missed the kick. But that’s as much on the coach as the kicker.

 

[EtowahVol]

Wasn't the kicker it was the false start before the kick.

 

[Manchester Vol]

You morons don't ever understand that players have to execute. He didn't, it's on him

A kicker has two jobs. Tire, your cleats, and kick the ball.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Yep. Nobody I’ve seen blames Gilbert.

I do

Cute? It was a damn dive play. You idiots can't help yourself with blaming coaches. Gilbert choked, period

 

[Savannahbayvol]

Yep. Nobody I’ve seen blames Gilbert.

I do

 

[VOLumeS]

Why don't you run another play then call your timeout?

Oh no. It's not that serious to threatened or even bring it up to the kid. He was there to experience it and that's reminder enough.

 

[Persian Vol]

This game is on a lot of people. A lot of errors and mistakes. We had 5-10 self inflicted wounds. I hardly count any for Georgia.

 

[VFL_JB]

Dude has one job. It’s literally 99% of what he practices. He choked. While I hate the calls from Heupel leading up to it, it’s still on him. He blew it. Wasn’t even close. Pathetic. Gotta mention how pathetic today’s crowd was too. Can’t recall a crowd that sat on their hands as much as this one. You’d have never known this was a home game in Neyland against a top 10 team based on how dull they were. You only heard them when something good happened. Pathetic.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I mean, 42 yds isn’t exactly a chip shot but it’s a very make able field goal for any decent college kicker.

 

[Boca Vol]

Heupel was the goat. That 5 yards moving it into over 40 yard range is a mind Fk to a Kicker

No reason for the penalty. It had to mess with psyche of the team & kicker. I know I wasn’t shocked when he skanked it off to the right

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Cute? It was a damn dive play. You idiots can't help yourself with blaming coaches. Gilbert choked, period

No chance you ever call me an idiot to my face. Zero! The play backfired and it resulted in a false start. The kicker deserves criticism but the false start backing him up five yards didn’t help. Lots of blame to go around. Go get bent bizz azz wimp.

 

[Vol865]

A SEC kicker has to make that kick tho but Josh played it too safe at the end.

He played it fine for the most part. Gotta center it up though and Kicker has to make it. Even though Umarov thinks he needs to fire off the ball setting up a FG and getting a false start. Defense lost the game.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

I’m not mad at max. He’s not a bad kicker just wasnt our day !

Did you see how wide that kick was? 5 yards wasn’t helping. It never stood a chance. Pathetic choke job from the kicker. Stupid decision to kick on 3rd down. Horrible penalty to get us there. Kicker choked, end of story.
