The Official #15 Tennessee vs. Miss St Game Thread, 4:15 ET, SECN

[Other_Guy]

People were expecting Vols by fiddy so they are shocked. I’m not.

I expected more than 13 offensive points heading into the 4th Q.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

We can’t give up 7, if we do, it’s ball game. 3 okay, turnovers for punt and we still in it.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

That all started on the handoff on 1 and 25

I agree that was dumb

 

[Volnanza]

At least 3 TDs left on the field so far. This will be tough game film to review. If we play clean for 1 quarter, I think we will win.

 

[vol94]

Confused by what, how the refs call the game? It was 1st and 25 and then 3rd and 17 and they dropped everyone, there’s nothing down field available there.

Confused by D. Behind the chains, true.

Wonder how state is able to get first downs though it was 2nd and 20 ….

 

[wmcovol]

Team has to be really mentally tough to come back on the road. Don’t know that they have it.

 

[Vol8188]

I would complain about that call no matter the score. It was horrible

Also the second bad PI call that’s cost us points

 

[Go47]

We have played to put the game in the officials hands. Bad call? Absolutely. Should this game be close that it could cost us the game? Absolutely not.

We look poorly coached. Tackling is ATROCIOUS.

 

[Vol_guy]

Looks like we are going to lose this game. Go ahead and count every road game as a loss.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Well we can always get a decent bowl game

if you aren’t in the playoff ,who really cares

 

[MeanOrange]

This JH's 4th year in the SEC and we are getting worse! Banks looks like a high school defensive coach.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Consistent underperformance. Heupel does not have what it takes as a gameday coach. No fire or passion on the sideline.

 

[ButchPlz]

I just cant understand with multi billion dollar tv contracts why the SEC cant afford better refs.

They don't want better refs. Rigging games to cover or beat certain spreads is easy to do when you let the refs simply be "incompetent".

 

[Big Al Orange]

No playoffs.

Nope !! The fix is in.

 

[volmoon]

Aguilar needs to lead us to a 4th Qtr V!

 

[C-south]

We need to put Carter on 24 and tell him to tee off on him every play.

Telling him to do it doesn’t mean he can.

 

[TN1111]

Banks is a fraud.

Wait but he's great on 1st and 2nd down though... these people never talk about his 3rd down defense

 

[djwes]

Now we’ve got Mississippi State all hyped up

 

[vols 30]

Need MSU to make a mistake

 

[teeball]

Find that official and make sure he doesn’t come back in the game…

The call against Hood for DPI and then Brazzle for OPI have to be two of the worst calls within 5 minutes ever. That official obviously can only see penalties one way. Wonder how much $$$ he has on this game?

 

[posivol]

get em d

 

[OptimisticFan]

Coach is making more…millions to make a bone headed decision

Did the coach muff the punt?

 

[knoxchief]

Defense is horible! Offense not much better. This is likely to be our second loss of the season

 

[VawlIn]

It’s become something to expect at this point. We go on the road against a team every year that isn’t as talented as us and our defense get embarrassed and we fail to make any adjustments. Injuries are no excuse for this either. Hobbs and Moi aren’t first round picks that cause a significant drop off in talent to their backups, and they have ran it down our throat the entire game. Heupel has also completely abandoned the running game and seems set on not giving Star Thomas as many touches as possible. Something has to change after this game or we will never get over the hump

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

You have to be able to review pass interference whether offensive or defensive. That DB just fell on his own. The SEC refs are the worst in the NCAA.
