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

[BDP!]

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.

Which play call are you referring too?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Over 40 with an average college kicker is not a sure thing. It was stupid to burn clock and not try to get it inside the 20.

you see him drill the last one? He choked, period

 

[OptimisticFan]

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

Our defense did suck massively

 

[TWVol]

Yes bc he missed the kick or he also had the false start.

yall are such clowns.

Just took probably a top five team to OT, should’ve won

He coached scared. Should have ran another play.

 

[patrick]

We will never win **** with heupel

Well the Vols will be close but never the Chsp - doesn’t recruit well enough and gets out coached in a game or 2 each yr.

 

[GhostVol]

They'll be requiring a fresh Dominos delivery.
Check the couch cushions for quarters.

You think there's a couch in here?

Bless your heart!

 

[Swiftybaby]

You’ve got to be kidding me.

That team is still more talented than Tennessee.

He gave his team a chance to win.

The dude missed, because of the false start penalty pushing them 5 yards back.

Would’ve missed without the 5 yards

 

[I Love Lamp]

Yes bc he missed the kick or he also had the false start.

The play calling after the UGA turnover and when we had it with two minutes left was absolutely questionable. You cannot deny that. We played not to lose when the game was 35-30 and we had the ball. We still lost.

 

[Dergibvol]

I wonder if we didn’t have the penalty and Joey put the ball in the center of the field…..kick would have been straight on.

Still could've put him in the middle after the penalty. Thats one question Josh has to answer.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

You’d piss all over yourself from 42 yards with the game on the line against a team you hadn’t beat in 8 years.

Maybe. But he still choked

 

[peerless98]

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

And a clear illegal screen on the 2 point conversion.

 

[GVF]

You sure or was it the punt on 4 & 2? You guys seem intent on finding a play as the reason we lost

I’m sure. Recovered a fumble 30ish yards out and run 3 dink plays to keep on middle of field instead of trying to score knowing you’re in already in range. That told Kirby all he needed to know to pull this game off. You never ever take the fort off tha gas against that man.

 

[amaralfan1]

Well that is sickening. Played not to lose there at the end of regulation. Bit Josh in the butt.

That's not what happened. Delete that "plated not to lose" cliche from your vocabulary.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

No way with Heupels decision making

This, he's making the same decisions every year in these big games. On to the next one

 

[RAVOL]

Get a turnover. Hand the ball off up the middle 3 straight times for 2 yards. SCARED AS HELL!!!

He got behind the chains because of penalty. He wanted that 3 there also thought he could gap them playing pass defense.

 

[BreatheUT]

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

How do you know we could've put it away earlier?

He make the field goal, we go home happy!

 

[Nolensville]

Oy vay

 

[Sivad]

We did everything but win the game. It was going to take a perfect game to beat Georgia and we didn’t have it.

 

[CNCVol88]

Coaching staff doesn't know how to win big games.

wat

 

[Bryan1]

You’ve got to be kidding me.

That team is still more talented than Tennessee.

He gave his team a chance to win.

The dude missed, because of the false start penalty pushing them 5 yards back.

You really think 5 yards would have made a difference on that kick?

 

[C-south]

There wasn’t 2 possession of that

We had a chance to go up 12 instead of 8 and ran on 3r and long to settle for a fg. After that the writing was on the wall.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

f you. The kicker missed an easy fg

No FG is easy for college kickers, especially pressure cookers like the one Gilbert missed

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Nahhh..we competed. Just gotta tell ourselves that we need to get healthy. A close loss still helps us in playoff positioning.

That UGA team is not very good and is going to have a few losses by the end of the year and yet still came into our house and stole a victory because our HC has no balls! JA is not terrible Nico so play like you have a QB that can actually read a defense and throw a dang ball.

 

[BleedOrange81]

It all started

He coached scared. Should have ran another play.

It all started way before that drive.

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

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

Coaching instills the discipline to NOT jump offside. How is that a hard concept?
