The Official Tennessee vs. Purdue Music City Bowl Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, ESPN

[WestTennesseeVol]

Ole Miss forward progress called with no whistle overturns a defensive td.
UT forward progress called with no whistle to overturn an offensive td.

And now I’m seeing red

 

[Terrells Bay88]

That rule explanation makes absolutely no sense. He blew the whistle well after.

I don't understand how the whistle isn't revelant but you learn something new everyday.

 

[BreatheUT]

There’s going for the W and then there’s just plain stupid

The pass play on goal line was stupid. Holding the ball to get sacked was dumber.

 

[lilesrt]

Congrats to Purdue.

 

[sunnyvol79]

We lost because we played like doo doo in the second period.

 

[Fyshy]

I'm at a loss of words with the play calling

Agree

 

[chuckb1448]

Go Big Orange, hate we lost

 

[Eastknox865]

Should have never went for it. You kick the fg and let your defense win or lose

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

I believe these officials are from the ACC, but geez they suck. It’s like they are trying to spot Purdue points and calls because the game is in TN. Multiple, MULTIPLE missed calls from this trash crew. To top it off, you got Rodgers, Jr pumping sunshine up their @$$. This fake injury BS is getting out of hand. Glad UT didn’t hire that scumbag brohm. A classless POS just like lame. Could’ve called PI on the TD to Hyatt, but of course, no call. I’m done venting for now.

Stop crying our defense is ****. Our offense doesnt ever score in 2nd quarter. We r not good team we are just an ok team

 

[Kicker82]

Refs cost us the game but our defense was horrendous. If that doesn’t improve, you can say hello to another 7-5 next season.

 

[Vol865]

Second game taken from us by the refs.

3rd. Pitt block in the back on missed FG return

 

[gsb0824]

Can we find another play to call on short yardage?

 

[AdoptedVOL]

TN. Played. Terrible.

I hate it as much as anyone but we just did not execute tonight.

 

[CoachClick]

Josh. Loss is on Josh, no matter how bad the refs were we still should have won

 

[pimo1]

This whole second half has been a joke. We get called for what 5 or 6 pi they get none? And the TD they didnt call in OT.....GRRR. That being said we should kicked the field goal on the second 4th down.

 

[wmcovol]

Terrible coaching last night & tonight. Boys, you gotta get better.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Those refs were complete and utter dogshit. We got all the best examples of how arbitrary and subjective the officiating is in this dinosaur sport.

 

[SobeVol]

Absolute bull$hit

 

[Storm Shadow]

If the defensive coaches aren't replaced, this will be a common occurrence. Coach nothing but Hype has some learning to do. Pitiful play calling... It's his fault it got to overtime. 100% on him. Calling 2 bombs when 2 QB sneaks would've won it.

 

[ButchPlz]

These refs don't need to make it home.

 

[catss350]

That was absolutely ridiculous. The whistle was after the ball crossed the goal line. The turd had no business trying to blow it dead anyways because he was still moving forward

 

[LCVols]

These officials are beyond horrible

 

[Fyshy]

Heupel loss

Agree

 

[malibuvol]

We'll see how much Heupel wants to build a winner at UT...Besides more talent, he needs to greatly toughen up his football team...I would have mandatory weight room workouts for all OL and DL players...They need to toughen up...

 

[MAD]

We got screwed on that call with Ole Miss and we got screwed again tonight.
