Get these refs fired. NOW.

[UTK]

What about the coaches challenging or were we out of timeouts?

I think we had one? I don't really know how that works on college football. Usually the booth is pretty consistent in reviewing crucial plays like that

 

[UTK]

Sorry, but this website doesn't control the shots. Smh....lol

They Gon learn today that we ****in do lmao **** those bums

 

[UTK]

Speed of the game. It’s on Heupel if we had the opportunity to challenge but didn’t.

It's on the officials dude.

 

[orange parmejohn]

I don’t know how bad it looked on tv but in the stadium it looked like the referees had a bone to pick with Tennessee.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

It's on the officials dude.

On Heupel if he could if challenged. Referee’s are human, that’s why there is a replay system.

 

[Volstylexx]

to be fair, both his feet were in front of the down marker, so it’s possible he has the ball tucked and it’s short. So many defining plays in this game that were missed by the Vols.

 

[rocytop2624]

Hooker has his entire body past the first down marker. The spot he got? A couple feet short. No review. Unacceptable. Period.

The block in the back on the 109 yard TD run was BS also Banks hit his side shoulder. Post that pick.

Even live, a blind man coulda saw he had the first down. He just got hit back behind it after forward progress

You can see that he us leaning the ball is by 26 and the guy to the left.

Yes, but the ****ing ref was running backward (behind the players) to escape the pile coming in. There was no way he could have made a definite call on the ball spot. It should have been reviewed, no questions asked.

You do realize there's people that watch every play and it's their sole job to buzz down for reviews right?

Then it was likely not a first down. What about Heupel ? Do we have people watching to instruct Heupel he can challenge? If true, then maybe we did not feel it was definitive enough for a challenge.

 

[UTK]

What about Heupel?

What about him? It's not his job to buzz for a review. We ain't the NFL with this red flag tossing stuff up in here. Lmao

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Freshman rb also had the touchdown easy but they didn’t overturn

 

[Brave Volunteer]

It was a bad spot but Heupel shouldve challenged it.

BS. It’s his job if he has the option and feels like it was a bad spot.

 

[UTK]

It's the replay booths job homie

 

[Ref4Life]

The block in the back on the 109 yard TD run was BS also Banks hit his side shoulder. Post that pick.

I agree with the other missed calls but that was textbook block in back.

 

[Zues1]

Hooker has his entire body past the first down marker. The spot he got? A couple feet short. No review. Unacceptable. Period.

Agreed. I knew it was a first down. Of course coach decided to take the challenge flag home.

 

[UTK]

I agree with the other missed calls but that was textbook block in back.

Let's not forget a couple phantom holding calls and a terrible PI call. Also the one where they said Jeremy Banks was being rough after the play when he literally walked away as soon as the whistle blew.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

It's the replay booths job homie

It is also the coaches job if he has the opportunity to challenge. Do you see a replay that the spot was bad? Real time I thought he made it but have not seen anyone post a replay yet that showed it was a bad spot.

 

[wrharvey21]

The ACC refs were brought in to ensure a Pitt victory if given the opportunity. It sucks, but they did what they were brought in to do. They threw entirely too many flags all game. Sometimes refs need to let the kids play.

I'm not usually one to complain about officiating because a lot of times there are bad calls on both sides. That wasn't the case today, and this was some of the worst I've ever seen.

Considering this is a thread about the officials, I honestly don't have an answer about the challenge and I don't give a ****. Booth should of buzzed down. Period. End of story.

 

[VolArmy74]

I still don't know how Pitt got the ball back on the FG. The ref clearly announced the fouls happened after the change of possession and the rules clearly state the possession does not change back to the other team. That cost us 37 yards of field position. It was a massive swing.
