I was saying the same thing. We got robbed a down

Loss of down with the illegal.touching penalty

 

[casetopia]

heupel took the under.

 

[Sivad]

You’re either drunk, stupid, or both.

both

5 Yard penalty and loss of down is the rule for illegal touching.

 

[DeadVols]

It looked like the WR was off the line by a yard. Were we on the 25 or 26?

He was pretty even with the Tackle. Granted, with the new emphasis on being on the line and formations, that could be an illegal procedure. Really just inexcusable from the WR. You always ask the line-judge if you're off the line if you're supposed to be in that position. Lazy.

 

[Volbrando]

Im really discouraged with the play calling and hesitation to throw.

I don’t think we are getting separation

 

[Repohellbilly]

How was that 3rd down? On the penalty wouldn't that still be 2cnd down?

It’s a loss of down

 

[ptcarter]

Raise your hand if BVS is flaring up.

 

[Dergibvol]

This is what happens when you play not to lose. The FG early I gave him a pass to make a 3 score game but after that been very vanilla.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Hope you Heupel lovers like him keeping it close to not make anyone mad in Oklahoma. Frig him.

I don’t like how conservative he’s being but this is ridiculous. “Heup lovers,” so what are you? You want to go back to 6-6 seasons and grumors? Get a grip.

 

[Boston Vol]

How was that 3rd down? On the penalty wouldn't that still be 2cnd down?

It’s a loss of down penalty. Like intentional grounding.

 

[HighRockvol]

Middle of the field open all night but run right into the blitz

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Playing like a bunch of victorians.

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

Everyone complaining about playcalling is forgetting our Oline has basically been nonexistent tonight. We're running plays with a TE in the backfield for extra blocking.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Certainly had opportunities to do this here and our HC won’t pull the trigger.

Oklahoma is a top 15 team. If you think we're going to just impose our will and boat race teams that aren't well beneath us in talent, you're dreaming.

Oklahoma isn't elite like GA and AL but they are a very good football team.

 

[AntiochVol81]

Defense needs to get a stop here

 

[Vol8188]

I’m telling you. Heup does not want to beat his old team. This is going to bite us in the ass.

The dumb things some of y’all believe are hilarious

 

[Go47]

On thrbro

Heupel's teams have never played clean, disciplined football. Was

On the road . . .

 

[spacificislander]

Here goes Tim Banks rushing 3 and sitting in a zone. That's what he does

Dude they have been incredible this game. We have 2 turnovers and a lot of punts. Defense has been incredible.

 

[Hydro556]

I was saying the same thing. We got robbed a down

Penalty included loss of down

 

[cwbytruckers]

Yawn at the play calling as a fan. But loving the defense up until that last drive. Put the starters back in.

 

[RockyTop140]

Don’t understand why you don’t throw it in that situation. They just scored on us and have the momentum currently.

Those 2 strip sacks loom large. Our staff has no faith in the OL and it’s fairly obvious they’re too scared to risk a turnover to open it up.

 

[leeroyphi136]

That penalty wasn’t a loss of down! We just got robbed of a down, it should have been 2nd and 14 after the penalty!!! WTF is happening?

 

[patrick]

Don’t be surprised if our prevent defense let’s them score again

Exactly.

 

[GAVol]

Not really. I don’t think Vols are in jeopardy of this game, but something is amiss.

Playing backup tackles that had Nico under pressure all 1st half.
