The Official Tennessee @ #1 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

Darrell Taylor and JG cost us the game

The thing on Taylor was ridiculous. That's done ALL THE TIME. The officiating in this game was highly questionable on several occasions.

Well Bama played an ugly game, made mistakes themselves. We should've been able to take advantage of them, but like I said. We shoot ourselves in the foot EVERY time! We just don't win, or come close to winning unless we just completely out-play the other team like we did against msu. The Gators, uscjr, etc always catch the breaks but not UT, oh no, we piss it away. We've gotta be the best bone-headed team I've ever seen.

I think we came out and played hard and forced those mistakes.

Darrell's shouldn't have been called.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Taylor was a bad call.

Damn right it was. Do you think flag is thrown if it was bama player instead of Taylor?

 

[vol_smoothie]

Trey Smith (left guard) was apparently pulling on the Geronimo sneak/fumble and the fullback was leading around left tackle, which means Geronimo didn't audible - he simply ignored the play call and tried to sneak it in.

Just everyone do yourselves and the team a favour and don't go complaining about the officals at Church tomorrow and to the Bama fans at work Monday. Not saying it isnt deserved...the officials were beyond attrocious). But complaining just makes us look like whiners.

Everyone not wearing crimson coloured glasses could see EXACTLY what the deal was. That will include the multitude of fans from their schools that hate Bama just like we do. Let them make the case. It sucks but that is the way the SEC works nowadays. Karma does exist and it will all come around one day. Just enjoy watching when it does.

 

[Remy]

Bama is not winning no NC with or without Tua.

I think LSU gets them.

 

[sjt18]

I said at half, Tennessee won’t score much with JG. They scored 3 despite being down there a lot.

Good news is that UT's OL is getting better. They still need a QB that can do his part... and finish a game. But they looked good against a very talented Bama front 7.

 

[VolMarine1371]

If Maurer players entire game we have good chance to win.

 

[ETV]

ESPN is full of clowns

Same crap. 22 years straight

 

[KeyVol14]

Pruitt just said there was a sneak called....BS

 

[orangerush]

Pruitt just said there was a sneak called....BS

If that’s the case then we have incompetent coaching

 

[amorange]

Pruitt should shave smacked himself in his own head for allowing that play to even be called.

^^^^*EDIT * disregarr post, didn't know JG wnet went rogue. smh......

Trey and the whole left side had bamma players on their asses. JG screwed it.

 

[vol_smoothie]

That was painful, much worse than I was even prepared for.

You should have heard Tim Priest on Vol radio - he sounded like he was dying.

 

[Vol737]

Proud of these guys tonight. We had horrible breaks and the refs should be lambasted by the SEC. God awful officiating. Praying Maurer is okay and can go next week.

 

[KeyVol14]

If that’s the case then we have incompetent coaching

Taking the high road IMO...crouch was getting the ball

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Things we learned tonight. The defense still has issues but is coming together. Chaney can’t do a damn thing with JG (shouldn’t be a problem going forward). Despite the early season meltdown we have some young players that are going to be special. Things are looking up. Go Vols!

I generally agree, but I have ton see the SC game before I break out even a couple sunshine rays , but they ain't looking worse overall so I'm hoping, logically speaking, we are indeed improving!

Love listening to Tim! He keeps Bib straight!

Jennings was being held on the 3rd down pass into the end zone

 

[peerless98]

Bama is not winning no NC with or without Tua.

So they are winning one with or without Tua?

 

[Orange Blossom Special]

a

Love listening to Tim! He keeps Bib straight!

Bob or Bib either one!

 

[Carl Pickens]

JG has been a one man wrecking crew..... so disappointed

 

[pharmDvol11]

What are the odds JG quits this wkd?

 

[tnvols72]

So they are winning one with or without Tua?

see there you go trying to trick me lol

 

[Lane Train 4]

He did and he is. I’m telling you guys JG is THE guy that deserves the blame. The coaches have tried and tried with this guy and he ain’t even QB material. He needs to move to WR or water boy

WTF do people think JG slow *** could even play wide receiver for a 1A high school?
