OT Playcalling (merged)

[77' Vol]

..... and you don't run the ball? Get sacked for a 7 yard loss? Really?? Just dumb play calling.

Huepel is terrible when it comes to short yardage play calling.

Play calling was baffling for sure especially at the end of regulation

 

[Doberman]

Clock management is maybe the worst I’ve ever seen as well.

Yea sir, exactly right. We can claim all we want about the refs and they sucked but Heupel shot us in the head with some of those lame brain end of game calls. Still OK with the season considering but CJH made some mistakes that cost us

Stupid as hell right there. Ultimately the losing play.

Hindsight and all….

This loss is completely on Heupel. He'll get heat for it and he totally deserves it.

 

[Volunteer16]

Has he ever coached an OT game before? Does he know you can kick field goals in the first overtime? Perhaps he only learned it now that Purdue nailed one to win it tonight.

 

[Boston Vol]

His handling of the final drive in regulation is much more questionable. I have no issue with going for it twice like he did in OT.

 

[21VOL]

Wasn't very smart. He also doesn't make the game clock at the end of regulation. If he uses a time out or 2, maybe it get a shorter fg. This isn't the first time he messed it up.

 

[UTK]

We really questioning our coach when he scored a TD instead of settling for a FG? Can't help it the refs just decided it didn't count

I’ve been critical of the play calling all year and this game was just the perfect example of what I’ve said all year. The play calling makes no sense and we throw too much downfield. We need to get under center on short yardage but they will not do it.

Coaches cost us the game, in my opinion.

 

[BreatheUT]

The OT playing calling was just dumb. But what about the play calling to end regulation?

The defense was just putrid. I hope they recruit over a few of these guys but I haven't seen any evidence.

Agree.

We should have never been in OT, but CJH is a little too in love with tempo and big plays. (They weren’t needed). Ridiculous

 

[UTK]

Some y'all are ****ing stupid

Purdue had the game spoonfed to them by the refs but yes there were bad playcalls, Hooker also missed a lot of throws that he should've hit and the defense was an abomination. We're in deep trouble if Burrell is our best CB.

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

Would like to hear his justification for not kicking the FG. I think that decision will haunt him for a while.

Agree...move ball into FG position and win game. Don't try for long TD passes.

 

[Titan05]

Heupel definitely outsmarted himself those last 2 drives. Baffling.

We have no power back on the team eventhough Wright got in the endzone.

I don't think he will get any heat. We won 3 games last year. He got us 7 and a bowl game this year

 

[volme]

He called two plays at the end regulation that resulted in a receiver running wide open each time only to have Hooker blast one over their heads a mile. In overtime Fant missed the one assignment he had to block and if he had done so it would of been a walk in touchdown. Does Heupel call a perfect game... no... but if Hooker had not overthrown about 6 passes throughout the game, we win by 21.

coaches loss period

 

[teeball]

I like CJH but his 3rd and 4th down short yardage play calling and his use of timeouts is the worst I've ever seen.
