The Official #17/15 Tennessee vs. #11 Alabama Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[basspond]

Hey Danny White, if Heupel doesn't realize he has a complete amateur offensive play caller, I hope you do.

 

[74charger]

That 4th down call was really bad by JH. He better own that one!

 

[Go47]

1. Officiating changed this game.

2. 4th down decisions / calls were awful.

3. Milton regressed to his norm in the second half.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

If you want a shot at Alabama next year, start preparing a different QB now…..

Can a different qb fix the piss poor playcalling and complete lack of capability to adjust on defense?

 

[Other_Guy]

Milton has the physical tools but not the mental tools

Coaches decided to wet the bed in the 2nd. Milton and Co were ON

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Nico should start the UConn game. Period.

 

[TennTom]

Been a long time since I've seen a Tennesseee team dominated in the 2nd half like this. Spurrier days nightmares.

 

[Putbacks]

Refs missed another hold…

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

In all seriousness….. have any of you seen more garbage officiating against the Vols in a season as this one? It’s freaking insane

Dude shut up. I’m tired of people blaming refs. Refs didn’t just cost Joe a 5-yard over throw. Refs didn’t make Heupel go for it 4th and 1 at midfield, down 3 with Bama having momentum. Refs haven’t caused 20+ unanswered points in the 2nd half. Some terrible and missed calls? Sure. But those didn’t lead to this. Complete collapse in the second. I love Heupel. Nowhere near saying he’s gotta go. But this is 100% on him and the staff. Worst game they’ve coached since being here.

 

[chad954ut]

Refs will start calling some penalties on them to make the stats look better for them

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Does warren have a 3 inch vertical? That’s 2 high ones he’s missed where his toes are on the ground

He’s a tight end. Not a 6’5 receiver. How about joe just throws a decent ball?

 

[ForeverfaithfulVOL]

He played a good 1st half. That’s it

He can’t beat the refs or the play calling

 

[AcuraGSX]

Went for it twice in our territory on 4th with the lead. Only makes sense to punt it now that we are down 14 with 6 minutes left. Hooker made Heupel look too good.

 

[PA Vol]

I just want to feel like something has been called fairly.

 

[oz615]

No way but to say we the bed in the second Half..

And watch the rest of the season snowballs and goes to hell.

3. Milton regressed to his norm in the second half.

Playcalling was the biggest problem. And pass blocking.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Our D is gassed

 

[VOLINVONORE]

The CBS crew seems to be relieved.

 

[BreatheUT]

Coaching lost this game

I may have to go with this as the catalyst. We started the 3rd quarter with a run blitz to the wrong hole and they ran off 29 yards. Then a total breakdown to let them hit a long pass when that would be the only play to get them in the game. And we went for it on 4th down at midfield up 3.

 

[nomads-11]

Not going to recover if you have to put the game in the offense's hands to get you the game. JG 2.0 and the receivers just can't execute.....7 games in. 7. Has White even caught the ball in the second half? All of a sudden he disappeared.

 

[orangerush]

Milton has the physical tools but not the mental tools

I don’t think Heupel has either.

 

[volnutlolol]

season's over. we suck again

 

[Ritzwatch]

hamas could show up at the refs house and I would not care.

 

[I4Vols]

I just can’t put this game on Joe

You mean can't give him any blame or don't trust him to lead to victory?

 

[BigALWiLson]

Offense went ice cold.

Offense or play calling to start the 2nd half. You never play to conserve a lead anywhere. The players are handcuffed with sh1t play calls this half. Wrs havent gotten open and when they do they are short of the sticks
