The Official #15 Tennessee vs. #6 Georgia Game Thread, 3:30 ET, ABC

[Go47]

Heupel absolutely didn't coach scared. He made the right call. Going for three was the higher percentage play. UGA had to play perfectly to win, and they did. It's going to make our victory against them in the CFB feel even better.

Funny how that coaching standard often gets you beat.

L

Lol You can’t be serious.

He's right. You see him drill the last one? He choked. Period

 

[RAVOL]

False start, missed FG

Yet its coach fault. Called great play to center ball he didn't jump offsides or miss the FG

 

[LittleVol]

No one will ask heup about any of his decisions. Some reporter needs to have some stones.

Had he hit the kick you would celebrating his right now.

The game was THAT CLOSE.

Don’t be a jackass….

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

You can’t false start out of a timeout in that situation. How does that happen with a top paid staff?

The coach didn't false start.

 

[amaralfan1]

You had a very average quarterback in Mike Bobo coming to your house and roll up 500 yards on you so there's that too

That's what Championship teams do... US playing with them wasn't a fluke. We are on the same level.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Another play gives you a chance to line it up at a different spot

And it don't take 3-4 seconds to go 5 yards and get down and call TO

 

[Dergibvol]

Worst play call I’ve seen in 30 years of watching Tennessee football. By far the worst play call I’ve seen in Heupel’s career. This loss is squarely on him. The win would’ve been because of him, but he lost the game with an objectively stupid play call.

You must have slept through Dooley, Pruitt, and Butch.

 

[GhostVol]

5-yd penalty for a 42-yd FG when you're ramping for a 37?

It janked him. Simple as that.

Was expecting one thing, was handed another, missed


It happens

 

[mackievol]

See you all during basketball. This year is done.

 

[IndianaVol]

Kirby interview at the end said it all to me...he pretty much said we didn't win this as much as they won it for us.

Heupel made some bad decisions, Offense didn't execute a couple of drives, Defense gets a waiver due to all the injuries.

One of those three things goes the other way and this is a win.

Georgia took care of business, but didn't win by as much as the wager lines predicited.

 

[BreatheUT]

Lol, at the folks saying Heupel lost the game because of a motion penalty. The kicker missed a FG that was essentially the same one he made in overtime. He cracked in the biggest moment.

This was the Jeff Hall Florida game moment.

Heupel absolutely didn't coach scared. He made the right call. Going for three was the higher percentage play. UGA had to play perfectly to win, and they did. It's going to make our victory against them in the CFB feel even better.

He kicked the ball on 3rd down. Who knows,you could have popped one for 6 yards and kicked on 4th.

 

[Volsfannn]

The 5 yard penalty didn't lose the game. We gave it our best but don't be a rock head. The kicker lost it.

Should've never been on the kicker to win it. Had 3 opportunities to put it away a long time before that point. Playing not to lose cost them this gane

 

[Go47]

Three straight runs up the middle after that Georgia fumble lost us the game. Heupel is great, but he's makes those Fulmer-ish decisions at critical moments way too many times. He shouldn't be doing that at this point.

 

[ButchPlz]

That's what Championship teams do... US playing with them wasn't a fluke. We are on the same level.

Missing two DLs and two starting CBs. I'm mad but we have to remember that.

 

[oldfiji]

You never wanna leave the game up to a kicker

4th and 6 cost us the game. And NO COVERAGE on the 2 point conversion. Defense more of an issue than we thiught

 

[AllOrangeInOhio]

Defense not good, Sham with absolute bone head move, and Gilbert blew it

 

[OptimisticFan]

Agreed. Very much coaching malpractice. It smelled of someone that was scared to leave even a second on the clock. Worst coaching I’ve seen from the best coach we’ve had. I wouldn’t trade him but that was 100% on CJH.

Nah, kicker whiffed it. Guy didn’t even have the right line.

 

[casetopia]

did anyone think we would win in ot? I didn't

 

[BradstarVols]

lol. Fo you feel better?

Coaching malpractice.

I feel good brother. Thanks for asking.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Stop blaming the refs. We lost this game ourselves.

Oh I agree but the refs definitely played their part. There was at least 10 missed holds on Georgia during critical plays. And those pass interference calls were not catchable

 

[C-south]

Was he kicking too moron?

yea it was an all around failure especially with the coaching.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Another play gives you a chance to line it up at a different spot

This...If nothing else

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

How do you not run another play on third and try to get that penalty yardage back? That was piss poor.
