To those of you not at the game

[volman85]

Not justifying throwing anything onto field or players, but something that I have not seen mentioned is the replay on the jumbotron for Warren's catch on 4th down. What was showed numerous times appeared to be Warren stretching the ball over the line. I hear replays on TV were less convincing, but the fans experienced something different at the game. Given this on top of the "questionable"reversal of the defensive TD in the 1st qtr, and not measuring on a couple key ole miss consecutive 3rd and 4th down conversions, not to mention apparent flopping by players, fans felt getting "jobbed" by officials.
It also being a night game also contributed with inebriated fans. I was very glad my 10 year old daughter didn't have to be around it.

No where did Warren ever reach the ball out to get the first down.

Stretching his empty right hand over the line? The ball was tucked on his left hip!

TV replay showed the ball near the ball carriers belt line, not in his out-stretched arm.

 

[The Original Fade]

Like I said earlier, it was an absolutely joke of a spot. They shouldn’t have awarded a first down, but at least re-spot the ball based on the video. Then measure, if we came up short then so be it.

 

[rocketskates]

The spot could’ve gone either way. We should be focusing on the fumble reversal.

 

[Other_Guy]

It wasn't as short as what they called it initially and I thought he had it but good call.

 

[PowerT4me]

The spot was correct. It's that simple. Should have never been in 4th and 27!

 

[USAFgolferVol]

He didn't make the first down marker. It's that simple. Our fan base is crying about that but not concerned about why it was 4th and 27?

I was just trying to convey what we experienced at the game without having other views from your TVs st home. Thanks for putting me on blast.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lol, these "I'm not condoning the throwing of stuff but..." are getting hilarious.

Notice it's the same 7-8 posters

Theyre the "realists" and "smart" and "objective" fans.

Oh and their self righteousness is laughable

I haven't yet seen the play, but Pat Ryan and Bob Kessling were convinced it was a first down and were shocked by the result of the review. Perhaps the replay they saw was the same as what you saw on the jumbotron.

 

[tennesseepride84]

My thing is when he caught the ball and started running up field he was on his feet and nobody even tackled him so why did he even dive and lunge forward. My point is you never put refs in position to make questionable calls, make the plays on your own and leave no doubt. If you watch the replay you will see what I’m saying, stay on your feet and bulldoze

The ball was in his left hand right?

he didn't make it. The ball was in his left hand and around his waist area which landed well short of the line to gain. If he had the ball in his right hand which was at head level, might have made it.

They’re quite ignorant.

 

[PC Jr.]

Not sure about the spot. However, I am sure about many missed holding calls each time Corral would take off and several other missed or blown calls of significance.

Heck, Warren couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time...As soon as he caught the ball, he started stumbling...C'mon man, RUN...

 

[SATX VOL]

Agreed OP. It was a perfect storm and that was just the boiling point. Not to mention every time their players got off the field after an “injury” they would high five the coaches and players. Absolutely unacceptable. And then Kiffin and his classless team taunting the fans all game. It is what it is. I would of loved to be there but am glad my kids weren’t as well. Screw popcorn, get your golf balls ready.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

I hate the fact we didn't get the first down, but the officials had it right. Well do I know that the truth tends to be unwelcome unless it is in one's own favor or denigrates someone else. While I don't disagree that the officials periodically made questionable and even B.S. calls, they got this one right. It wasn't a first down.

 

[GAVol]

I haven't seen a definitive replay that tells me one way or the other. But I am sure that the referee mechanics were screwed up because the guy that spotted the ball was the Head Linesman and he was 20 yards behind the play when Warren went down. I don't know whether he botched the spot by 6 inches or a full yard, but he clearly missed it.

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

He wasn't close to the first down. Was more than obvious on TV

 

[rocytop2624]

That yellow line is on the wrong side of the forty. But if Hooker wouldn't have got hurt we would have still had 2 shots to win it. Kiffin was scared they showed him acting scared.

On one play their tackle was dragging our d-lineman down from behind as the d was grasping Corral
The only reason the called a hands to the face on their d-line was because his hand got caught
