It would have been a cheezy call.
We hit 25% of our field goal attempts, after out gaining Bama, and out playing them thru the second half.
Hard to fuss too much about that not being called.
Since when can a half or game end on a defensive penalty. One more untimed play my friend.
Because Alabama blocked and recovered the ball, Alabama had possession. The game can't end on a defensive penalty, but because of the possession change, Alabama wasn't on defense. We'll let SEC spokesman Charles Bloom take it from here.
"The foul for taking helmet off is a live ball foul treated as a dead-ball foul," Bloom wrote in an e-mail Saturday night. "That is, if it happens on a play where time does not expire then the penalty is enforced on the following play. However since the clock ran out on that play, then there is no next play, so there is no penalty to mark off."
Bama recovered so they were technically on offense

This is wrong. If the officials had called the penalty, when it happened (BEFORE Alabama recovered and while there was still time on the clock), then the penalty would have called the recovery back and Tennessee would have gotten to re kick. Nice try though.
Who's the :cray:.... That ball wasn't catchable and if you had a shred of honesty in you you wouldn't even bring that BS up

Yeah, you don't understand the rules.
If you do you won't hear every UK fan crying like a 5-year-old girl about it.
I'm not arguing that his helmet wasn't off before the ball was recovered and downed by a bama player. What I'm explaining is that the penalty for taking your helmet off REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT HAPPENS is a dead ball foul. Since we recovered it's our ball minus 15. That is just the rules. It is what it is. But it IS that.
lol...ofcourse it wasn't he was hit while the ball was in the air. And the ONLY reason that was brought up was due to the "Alabama gets all the calls" by these girls on this site:moon2:
I will go with the Bammers on the no penalty call at the end of the game. Should not have been called.
IF, IF, they can admit they got handled in the second half of the game, by a team with inferior depth, and talent. Compared to theirs.
I will call it both ways.

Come on guys, there was no penalty. All unsportsmanlike penalties are treated as dead ball -
for example, a breakaway runner taunts a defender on the 5 yard line going into the end zone and gets a penalty, they don't lose the touchdown, its enforced as a dead ball foul even though it happened in a live play. They don't take off the TD and enforce it. Same thing.
No penalty. Forget it. We are lucky they didn't call our guy offside on the onside kick or for tackling 57 before crompton's pass to stocker....

If everybody saw the game for what it was and not through orange colored shades they would be saying "wow what a great game" instead of crying about it
