Game time!
- Thread starter PalsPal
- Start date
The whistle had not blown, they ruled the ref on the side was signaling forward progress had been stopped before he crossed the goal line, if you watch you can see him running in before the TN RB is stopped. That is what made the difference, if they had been just listening for a whistle they overturn the call. I don't agree at all, he was still driving his legs and moving forward. That's a touchdown all day long and great effort on his part but once he said progress was stopped you can't overturn it.

It's a head scratcher for sure because the whistle was definitely after his arm was outstretched with the ball breaking the plane.

Funny you put me on blast like that.
I see all these crys for help in this thread whineing about the touchdown that wasn't but no talk about the huge lead that was blown that WOULD have cemented the game. The non touchdown would have never come into play if vols handled their bussiness.

If either team could've played defense they would've won decisively. It was a fun game to watch. Sorry GBO hearts were broken.
The lead was blown yes, but that has nothing to do with the FACT that it was a blown call. It was a touchdown! That is a fact.

Yeah that is what in seeing now, from everything I've heard they was no whistle blown until after the ball was in the endzone. All the ref had to do is throw up a hand single I guess.
Does it not make more since if you want to call a play over or dead blow the whistle to let the players know to stop. and not throw up a hand single no one sees or can hear

Blown calls are a FACT of football. It happens. Having your stuff together and holding onto leads deflates blown calls. THAT is a FACT JACk

I would not sweat this. It's not like anyone is going to remember a bowl game come next season. It's just a glorrified scrimmage game to get swag bags.
I was there and as far as I'm concerned UT won the game 51-48 because we DID score a td in overtime and Purdue didn't but only got a field goal.

When you team has a game coming up you should keep your mouth shut. Just saying.

Yall are a salty bunch as of late. Telling me to shut my mouth and my mom needed to have had a abortion. Classy.
It is what it is….Go Vols
We were walking back to the truck during the post game stuff, did the refs get up on the podium with the Purdue team during the trophy presentation? If not they should have because they were the game winning players for the boilermakers…..
Bama fan coming in late to this discussion. Fellow Bama fans shouldn't challenge the lost lead, as we barely escaped a horrible Auburn (6-7 record) loss this season.
I had to record the game on DVR, which stopped recording during overtime.
So I had to watch the OT ending this morning through YouTub... I gotta say that was a horrible ending. Everyone saw the missed call.Why can a Coach challenge ball placement for a first down spot, but can't challenge a line judge's opinion of when forward progress was stopped?

True, and they was saying on the radio this morning that's the reason JH was going for it on 4th down and not taking the 3pts. If it's a week 3 conference game he kicks the FG all day there.
Music city bowl in OT when team has looked awful 90% of the game, go for it.

From what I've heard they Whistle does not matter in that scenario, but in every other case in football it's all about when the whistle blows.
And you're right you can challenge whether someone got a first down after their "progress" was apparently stopped or tackled. but you can't challenge if someone's progress was stopped going into the endzone on a crucial 4th and goal makes zero sense

Sir, my tireless searching is FINALLY over as I have found THE GOLDEN UNICORN; a rational, non-belligerent, sane-thinking Alabama fan! My quest is over!

The loss lays squarely on the Coach's shoulders. How many failed 4th downs when they were getting stuffed trying to run up the middle? Or going for the long ball, rather than using Hooker's legs?
