If your team was down just before halftime, and

[Muschump]

I don't know. Did they let 30 seconds run off the clock while they were driving at the end of the half? And did they have a time out left? That kind of quitting? Or a different kind of quitting?

I think Miss St. has a forum...

Different kind.

A lot of people will agree with you here, but I highly disagree. We made a first down on that play, so the clock is stopped automatically. What needs to happen is Bray needs to stand up and get the damn call without allowing 20 seconds to run off. Freshman mistake. Save the timeout so that you can keep throwing over the middle while trying to get into field goal range (which we almost did).

Yep agree. Bray has to learn to get everybody up on the line and run a play. Inexperience shined through there a little bit.

Edit: Also, looking back its not like we had receivers running deep routes down the field that had to get back to the LOS. It should be routine for everyone to line up and run a play in 5-10 seconds.

Or the coach could have called time out. That was 30 of the last 40 seconds.
It was ROOKIE no matter who the fault falls on. I would rather blame it on the grown man being paid to coach, but thats just me.

I think you need to go back and rewatch boss.

Bray's clock management in the 4th quarter was bad also.

Hell....I'm afraid I'll throw up. Enough whining on my part. It's time to reset.

Go Vols!!

 

[jptrain]

you do not call a timeout on the sneak. yes, they should of either ran up and spiked the ball or ran a play quicker. but if dooley calls a timeout there, you can't use the middle of the field anymore, and a field goal is mostly out of the question.

I guess actual stats are now not included with this soon to be completely idiotic fanbases hyperbolic knee-jerking? Feel free to call people idiots while hiding behind that keyboard little girl, just stay hidden while you do it.

Okay, we'll play this game. I'm feeling chippy and you're making it easy for me.


Your initial assessments were all completely wrong.

We had 1 timeout left. Not 2 or 3 but 1. You count as well as the aliens in The Fifth Element. So your inital statement about "and you still had timeouts left" was wrong.

Next up is " would you let the clock run out?". If we were doing that we would have just run the ball instead of passing every single down. The QB sneak was a risk but it worked. Regardless, there is no substance to this claim as we didn't take it to halftime as is like you're hyperbolically and incorrectly claiming.

Final item is compounding what you previously said "go down fighting". We were calling aggressive pass plays that were attacking the sidelines. If they're incomplete they stop the clock. If they're complete you stand a chance of getting out-of-bounds and saving your only timeout.

We needed to save the timeout we had in order to set up a FG in a somewhat orderly fashion. We called the 2nd timeout when we stopped Florida so we could have the measly :51 we got. Bray could have managed the game better (bear in mind, again, this is a young team on it's first road game that doesn't even have the 2:00 drill that's already hard to pull off) but it's understandable that we'd want to use 5 more seconds to ensure the O got the right call instead of someone missing a blocking assignment (i.e. an RB running a route instead of blocking) and Bray joining Hunter on the sidelines.



I must be a nerd, because I look things up before I make a total ass out of myself. You just end up looking like a belligerently angry fool. Calling me a "little girl" was just icing on the cake.

 

[MountainDooley]

Dooley said at the half time interview on tv he was disappoionted not to get at least 3 on that drive. Like someone else said if Da'Rick doesn't get bumped out running the route on that pass play we would have been in fieldgoal range.

 

[Volview]

What drive are you talking about? This was our drive to end the 2nd Half:

• (1st and 10) TENNESSEE drive start at 00:51.
• (1st and 10) Bray, T. sideline pass complete to Rivera, M. for 9 yards to the UT29, out-of-bounds (Riggs,C.).
• (2nd and 1) Bray, T. deep out pass incomplete to Rogers, D..
• (3rd and 1) Bray, T. rush quarterback sneak for 2 yards to the UT31, 1ST DOWN UT (Floyd,S.;Green,W.).
• (1st and 10) Bray, T. post pass incomplete to Rivera, M., PENALTY UF pass interference (Jenkins,Je.) 15 yards to the UT46, 1ST DOWN UT, NO PLAY.
• (1st and 10) Bray, T. sideline pass complete to Rogers, D. for 29 yards to the UF25, out-of-bounds, PENALTY UT illegal touching (Rogers, D.) 0 yards to the UT46, NO PLAY.
• (2nd and 10) Bray, T. sideline pass incomplete to Rivera, M..
• (3rd and 10) End of half, clock 00:00.
• (3rd and 10) Start of 3rd quarter, clock 15:00, UF ball on UF30.

For you learning disabled that is 5 passes and a rush for a 1st down. We were passing deep downfield.

I guess actual stats are now not included with this soon to be completely idiotic fanbases hyperbolic knee-jerking.

Don't say the sky is falling when you're actually on an airplane.

Thank you for the play by play...Now this thread can die

That's what I don't get. He was forced out by the CB and came back inbounds. As far as I know... that doesn't rule him ineligible.


Regardless, it was the right call to make and, if Rogers didn't go out, would have put us in possible FG range. However, with Palardy already missing a 37 yarder, who knows what FG range is for us.

Nerd works for me. DCvol, it's a forum for discussion, and you are here to try and prove you are smarter than everyone else, which makes you look like a jerk. We left the field at halftime in the middle of a drive, with A TIMEOUT. Use the timeout and spike the ball for the fieldgoal. :blink:
Poor performance. Period.

Most of that was due to relatively "poor time management" by a Soph. QB communicating to mostly Soph. OL and Fresh/Soph WRs. One of them gets the play wrong and it's all for not. One of them misses a blocking assignment and, like I said, Bray could be out. We had a long shot of moving the ball 80 yards in :51 seconds even with 3 TO left. As we had one... we had to save it in case we got in FG range (which, for Palardy is really questionable). Otherwise burning the TO is pointless.


Long story short you were hyperbolic. I am frustrated as h3ll too. I hate Florida. But maintain rationality in criticisms of the game. There are plenty of legit criticisms to go around. I'll give one:


3rd and 1 at FLA 20 Marlin Lane rush for no gain to the Fla 20.

This is right before we missed the 37 yard FG. A QB sneak probably gets the 1st Down. Instead we call a Marlin Lane run inside against a superior Florida DL/Front-7 without a lead blocker. We haven't been able to dominate the LoS against Montana or Cinci. We sure as hell weren't going to be able to against Florida. We call that and it gets stuffed.

Get mad about that. I still am.

Or the coach could have called time out. That was 30 of the last 40 seconds.
It was ROOKIE no matter who the fault falls on. I would rather blame it on the grown man being paid to coach, but thats just me.

You're right, the coach could've called timeout. The only problem with that is that not calling the timeout there is the objectively CORRECT call. That mistake is on Tyler. Insofar as it's a mistake in coaching, the mistake is in not teaching Tyler to move more quickly in that situation. If your quarterback does what he's supposed to do, you lose 5-10 seconds on that play. When you only have one timeout and 40 seconds left, you don't call it for 5-10 seconds.
