Got to overturn it

 

[GhostVol]

Wasn't he down?

 

[Cartervol]

He's down

 

[VolDave53]

Well, that nearly sucked.

 

[joevol33]

He's down

 

[mackievol]

How can refs be this bad

 

[GhostVol]

Butt's on the ground......

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

We need a defensive coach to focus solely on the slant

UT hasn't defended the slant since the forward pass came into vogue lol

 

[ItchyVols]

How can refs be this bad

Right?

 

[Volbrando]

South Florida already had 102 yds rushing on Florida at halftime

Too bad we don’t have a good running game

 

[GhostVol]

How can refs be this bad

They're actively trying to be bad?

 

[HighRockvol]

He was down

 

[mackievol]

That was pretty clear on the field live

 

[KeyVol14]

How can refs be this bad

It’s unreal tbh

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Gotta protect the ball. Got lazy there

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Was down but will stand....

 

[GreyWolf1129]

God, these officials....

 

[Bryan1]

No yards we’re walked off. It was basically offsetting penalties. In any other instance the dead ball foul penalty would would take place after whatever else happened.

It was offsetting penalties but the live ball foul gave Akron the automatic first down. The dead ball fouls on the offense does not change the down and distance.

 

[DaddyChad]

He’s down but Tillman needs to play like a veteran and secure the ball.

 

[Cartervol]

Refs got money on Zips and the points.

 

[joevol33]

He's down, but gotta protect that ball

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Too bad we don’t have a good running game

Correction that was after 1 qtr

 

[vanillagorilla]

Looks like he's down but with this crew who knows.

 

[Dudleys87]

How can refs be this bad

Because they don’t care and know they aren’t what the people came to see so they insert themselves in the game.

 

[ItchyVols]

We CANNOT afford to have this crew next week. We’re gonna need everyone and everything going our way
