So on a Pitt long run gain in the 3rd quarter…

[brockytop]

Jeremy Banks immediately sniffs out the play and gets to the hole where the TB is headed and below is what occurred. OG totally hooks Banks around the neck and off goes Pitt’s tailback. No flag thrown. What a damn joke.

Sorry, but bogus calls/no calls from refs drive me nuts.

There are plenty more that should have been thrown. None of those crazy backside or away from the ball, all playside and usually right at the point of attack.

That sure does look like effective technique to me ... if the umpire is picking his nose.

 

[Tarkus]

SEC crew is in midseason form already.

 

[Powder and shot]

Great blocking scheme. Wish we could use it.

 

[DaddyChad]

I thought as far as officiating it wasn’t bad but I’ve set the bar pretty low after watching the conference officiating over the years.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Pitt’s O-Line held most of the game and we still won.

This was the exact play I was referencing in the other thread about the refs. They definitely missed this one.

 

[tennesseepride84]

And here I am thinking the DLine got blowed off the ball on that play. My apologies fellows.

 

[Jeff Clark]

I wish that running back for Pitt played for Tennessee

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Saw a couple of those, myself. Facemasks not called, too. Some might blame the Mars Retrograde. I don't know.

THAT'S The damn truth. Their OL (supposed 1 of the best) was getting their azz whooped. Vols' D has improved tremendously.

Pitts best blocking scheme was the arm around the neck takedown. They did it all afternoon and got away with it 99% of the time. As one, said, the SEC Refs are in midseason from. It is a shame that the SEC can not hire decent refs.

 

[bigorangepoppa]

As I was watching the game, there were a lot of blatant holds by Pitt's offensive line that never got a flag. I can understand they may miss some, but when the back judge is looking right at it and keeps his flag on his belt, somethings wrong.

We better get us d to it. It ain’t going to get any better. Especially when we play serial holders Bama

 

[orangemadam]

Not so. That will happen when we play Bama. The officials are waiting for their que to begin the really bad calls, which begins usually 3rd saturday in OCT.

 

[wmcovol]

SEC crew didnt want the post game to be about them, but they forgot that Pitt coach is a HUGE crybaby. Heupel didnt say much LY after ACC refs marked the ball short on Tennessee all day and flagged the Vols for 13 penalties.....

Dang, my drunken eyes missed that. I thought we missed a gap assignment there...not so. Maybe the refs were drinking too?

 

[knoxvol52]

What got me was how biased the officials were and Narduzzi would not leave the TD call on the pass to Bru alone still probably saying it was wrong call

 

[billcox0625]

I saw that on the replay while the commentators were talking about the great blocking on the play to free him. Missed holding call for sure.

Yeah, I saw it in real time and thought for sure when they showed the replay it wouldn't look as bad as I thought it was. Then, to see it confirmed on the replay and realize that the announcers were going to act like it never happened! I was hot for a few seconds before I realized I had to let it go. Seen too much of that crap over the years and it just ruins the game for me if I dwell on it.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

You know the saying, the refs could call holding on every play if they wanted to.

 

[Kas232323]

Ummmm yea… but the blatant holds at point of attack, which allow big gains rather than no gain, are kinda the ones they’re supposed to call…..

The refs thought bama was wearing blue and gold

Well it cost him big time. He really missed that timeout late in the 2nd qtr
