Official Chick-fil-A Bowl Game Thread: Tenn vs. Va Tech

[Triple_C]

I don't like the review there. If they're going to examine clock management in the booth, they should do it that way for the entire game, not just for the last play of a half or game. That's probably some sour grapes from the big 12 game, but I think it's a valid point. Do it for the whole game or tweak the system to make the time keeping more accurate.

This. I hate how the refs hustle to the line of scrimmage in the last minute of the game. If they're gonna do it then, they should do it all game.

The real storu of this game is our offensive line. They are playing like garbage right now.

+1

If they finally show up in the second half we may actually win.

 

[volintears]

His knee hit the ground with 2 seconds left on the clock, the clock should have stopped right, since it was a first down on that play.

I dunno,I thought the whistle had to blow for a play to be over?

 

[Big Orange Nation]

Haha, maybe when you call someone out you should know what's going on yourself. He got burned.

haha, I have known is face was messed up for many years, but never knew why

that was my main point and not what the cause was, but I get your point

IOW, how could anyone watch football the past decade and not notice his face...


i never knew what caused it and didn't care, but i heard cancer tonight

 

[smokeyvols]

They are a big time cheater. That clock should never been stop. It is their job to stop the clock on time, which they didn't.:banghead2::banghead2::banghead2::furious3::furious3::realmad::realmad::realmad::censored::censored:

We got this game. A few half time adjustments and we will take control.

yeah, that would allow crompton to get the PA rollout game going as well.

[**ORANGEBLOOD**]

A Hokie fan said he was burned when he was a child.

That is what I thought it was, but I wasn't sure. It looks like a burn scar.

Oh geeze not a tajh freekin boyd reference.

 

[darbievol]

exactly

 

[GAVol]

They made the right call.

The clock stops whenever a knee hits the ground...regardless of down.

 

[duckman398686]

but if the same thing happened to us it would still be the wrong call right?

 

[AllVols]

lol, how does that make them cheaters. Clock automatically stops on a 1st dwon to move chains, they had plenty of time to call the time out.

 

[DocVOLiday]

The clock stops whenever a knee hits the ground...regardless of down.

Noooo...

 

[theutvolunteers]

The clock stops whenever a knee hits the ground...regardless of down.

Only if it is a first down resulting play.

 

[GeorgiaOrange]

Gotta do better! GO VOLS!

hmy: You wasted your 1st post on that?

Welcome to the board

Uhhh no. The clock only stops on plays resulting in a first down, incomplete passes or out of bounds plays.

 

[rooster01]

wrong not in college until the chains are reset if no need to reset chains or no out of bounds the clock rolls

 

[Buke14]

Especially on those kneel downs right?
