I mean it honestly could go both ways but what drives me nuts is, how many times have you seen a play where the ball carrier is laying on a defender, no body part down and makes the crazy big play or TD. No one blows a whistle, no one rules forward progress stopped. They watch the play unfold into some awesome spectacle of a play. Why can’t that happen to us? Why do we always get bitten by the early whistle or the insane, once in a lifetime call.
GBO!!

Lol at anyone who thought Purdue was a joke. They probably felt disrespected after the big games they won and barely lost the others, meanwhile their opponent has beaten 1 barely ranked team and blown out by the best teams they've played. It's a matter of perspective. In many ways this was a bad match-up for both teams but Tenn was likely correctly favored. But it's a joke to think this should've been a blowout. That's the kool-aid talking.Nailed it.
Im curious to how you felt when they went for it and didn’t get the TD.? Then had to send the defense out there to come up with a miracle.? And to come up with a turnover or hope that the kicker misses.? No...30% didn’t need to be a TD...We should’ve kicked the FG. and played defense. Purdue has struggled all year in the red zone. There’s no I in team...! I’m reading that when the OLineman was trying to pull the running back across the line. That at that point it was ruled that the forward progress was stopped.! Unfortunately but it’s the rule. To push or shoving forward is different. I agree with the whistle thoughI think if its called correctly and we get the 7 we have a 30% chance of getting the stop at best. So in my mind going for 7 instead of 3 is the call. Heupel to me got it right. I just wish there was real accountability in Officiating. The explanation was as stupid as it sounded. Basically whenever he determines the play is dead its dead. Why have replay.... human error and all. He clearly scored, but because he determined with error replay foes nothing. So why do we have replay ? If replay can over turn a blown dead fumble why is it not the same for a TD with no whistle until the ball went over the line. It was clear as day with the whistle
And it would’ve put us already in FG. Range with a first down and time to call at least three more plays maybe. Instead of a record 56 yard FG. We would’ve been already inside the 50ty range with time. What I don’t get is why in hell do you leave timeouts on the scoreboard?!?! The ACC doesn’t like big uncle SEC !Just a couple of points about the refs performance. I want to point out that Purdue had 5 penalties for 61 yards in the game, and UT had 14 penalties for 128 yards, a ridiculous difference. I also want to point out that Tennessee had over 100 yards in penalties in only one other game this season, against Pitt, which I think also had ACC refs. By all appearances these refs were biased against Tennessee. A couple of the interference calls against UT were clearly bad calls, and on the last UT pass play in regulation, the defender clearly was pulling on Tillman's jersey as he went down field and the pass was overthrown because of the hold up, but nothing was called against Purdue. There is a clear problem with these differences.
How would you feel as a second string cousin to Big Uncle SEC. They have an agenda!One of two things happened with the refs in this game. 1) They had no clue what they were doing out there......or 2) One or more of these refs had bets on this game. They should be investigated thoroughly and see if any of them had monetary bets on this game. I can't believe any ref calling NCAA ball could be as stupid and blind as these guys were!
3 straight drives inside the 50 yard line where 3 straight run plays up the middle that took a total of 45 seconds off the clock in the 2nd half when defense is gassed was a major point/momentum shift. So yes it did. Was ut's game to lose late in the 3rd qtr. If would have slowed the pace down on the second half at key points that score is a lot different. The super pace offense is hell on our defense when offense gets Negative yardage on 3 straight run plays inside red zone after a turnover.Play calling cost Tennessee the bama game? What planet do you live on?
