Warren Burrell, Refs, and Tim Banks

Hope none of them have rides home and all have to walk

Yeah, DC provided 3 picks, 1 of which was purely because of his scheme and we still managed to lose.

Yeah, you’re right - holding the opponent’s QB to 530+ and 5 TDs is awesome. My bad, you’re right

When your offense does nothing for 2 quarters to help the defense it doesn't help matters. This team deserved to lose but not in the fashion they did.

The officials threw this game, not the people you mentioned.

And I don’t disagree with that at all, but the crux of most of the D’s shortcomings were technique and scheming, rather than them being gassed.

To your point though, this offense isn’t conducive to an overly successful D in general, but it can’t be as pitiful as it was tonight.

Yeah blaming the refs

 

[Alto1]

Bush league officiating……

 

[AllVols]

I do expect to see Burrell hitting the portal, because I would think we will be recruiting over him.

 

[SuggsOrMatthews]

No. This game should have been over well before OT. The D just consistently gave up big plays and displayed piss poor technique by way of tackling and angles taken.

As @Vol865 mentioned and I’ll gladly concede, the O did nothing to help this.

I think the field condition had something to do with the trench play...Route running and Pass Plays

With that said, being gassed can play into poor technique, assignment, alignment. That's all I'm gonna say though. I don't want to defend them anymore than I have to. Pun intended.

 

[volfeeva]

I think #4 is gonna have nightmares tonight. That was abuse.

There are 10 players that are high school players in Knoxville better than Burrell. He was the MVP for Purdue

 

[DaddyChad]

I could complain about a lot but the refs were atrocious.

Burrell interfered a couple of times - most of the interference calls on him were a load of sh#t though along with the rest of the game.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Finally, some one else not wearing orange glasses. Its on players. And this offense cannot continue to put up 0 points in 2nd quarter. Wth

Banks called a good game. We should’ve had 2 picks based on his play calling alone (Banks being the second)

 

[Vol8188]

Yeah, DC provided 3 picks, 1 of which was purely because of his scheme and we still managed to lose.

J Banks should’ve had a second

 

[TJVol95]

Burrell is terrible all year terrible!

 

[MadisonvilleVol]

Yeah blaming the refs

Do you personally think that was a TD in OT?

 

[volfeeva]

Once you see how the ref's are calling the game, you can't grab them even a little bit. I'm trying to remember, but every call on him for interference was legit. Someone needs to coach him when you're beat, the only thing you can do is try to tackle and dislodge the ball....or hope they don't catch it. He seemed undersized, and not able to adjust to game conditions.

 

[turdherder11]

Tim Banks' soft zone killed us tonight. Soft as JJJ

 

[Hunerwadel]

Yeah, you’re right - holding the opponent’s QB to 530+ and 5 TDs is awesome. My bad, you’re right

Add another 100 to the passing game for penalties. But we've given up large chunks of yards all season. The guys are playing hard but we just don't have the talent and depth to stop good teams. We've got to build a defense.

A breath of fresh air and reason.
