Vols/Hawgs

[bowhunterfanatic]

I've been laughing all week at the Vol fans that thought we were going to boatrace the hogs. TN is 1-6 in recent years against them.

The elbow to the helmet resulting in the roughing the kicker turned the game around. Correct call, but was a major flop by the kicker.

That plus not fielding the last punt cost us the game. Field the punt and we are still able to flip the field before that last Arky TD drive. They weren't going to move the ball starting inside their own 20. Drives me nuts how often you see college returners let punts bounce. You never see that in the NFL.

Exciting game all the way till the end. I thought it was odd to concede the td with arkansas having to use a backup kicker. But hindsight is 20/20 and as hillbilly hunter said, you have to throw it up on the last play and pray for a defensive PI call or a miracle- as soon as he crossed the line of scrimmage that game was over

Just like the roughing the passer call where Nico got tapped on the helmet

TN has had that called on them multiple times in recent years. It is pretty much an automatic flag.

 

[redblood]

Idk what team do you play for??

Lol. I think 7mm08 would be a solid right tackle

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Think we can beat Vandy??? Hahahaha

It's at their place we better show up a lot better than we did tonight lol!

 

[Bamamonts]

Miami about to get a dose too. 6 of top 11

I need Miami to win by 10.

Earned that loss. Horrible game

Cant argue with that

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

conservative play calling will get you beat just about every time. It looked like fat Phil was play calling.

Last play of the game Nico has got to throw the ball and at least give somebody a chance to catch it. Can't just run out of bounds! Oh well…kudos to Arkansas. They outplayed the Vols from start to finish.

Reminded me of Milton doing the exact same thing with game on the line

Honestly the loss is what it is- I'm not happy about it but $hit happens just look all over college football today.

Only 2 things that are gnawing at me-
1) we are coming off a bye week and played this poorly
2) we got up 14-3 and couldn't end it

I picked 9-3 before the season. If the don't clean up some things, I don't think the final record will be that good. The Vol's QB is definitely playing like a freshman.

I need Miami to win by 10.

Ain't looking good…

 

[cbhunter]

Wow. It's been a crazy Saturday. I can't believe Tennessee let Arkansas score the winning touchdown. Crazy.

I don't think they had a choice on that one, right before the play I told everyone, vols have to let them score. Would have been next to no time left on clock assuming they made the fg and kicked off.

No excuses though…like someone said above, got outplayed and out coached big time all night

The elbow to the helmet resulting in the roughing the kicker turned the game around. Correct call, but was a major flop by the kicker.

On the replay I thought he got blocked into him and while trying to avoid him his elbow hit.

Just like the roughing the passer call where Nico got tapped on the helmet

Wasn't that the one where his hand came through and slapped the face mask? I don't think it was intentional but hit him on the follow through which by rule is a flag. It's a judgment call and had they not called it wouldn't have bothered me.

The biggest play in my opinion was the no call on holding by the wide receiver #2 that let the big boy rumble. Foul happened at the 42 so should've backed them up to roughly midfield and instead hogs have it at the 22 or so first and goal. One play doesn't beat you but it sure sticks out like a sore thumb when late in the game like that. As I said already Arkansas played better and deserved it.

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

For once. We're in this mess together.

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

Earned that loss. Horrible game

Right there with you on there ALABAMA v Vandy game. Gotta tip ur hand to the winner and just move on. I can't even talk smack against the vols . ALABAMA played like crap. VANDY PLAYED GREAT. They have a great QB. And have been right there all year.

All I can say is Roll.Tide and let's regroup . Next week is not going to get any easier.

 

[BamaProud]

Its been 6,175 days days since Tennessee beat Arkansas.

 

[Forvols]

Ugly Vols day, bad day overall for ranked teams. Vols positive - Samson had 138yrds rushing thats about it. sooo Next..

Not much more to say, but my takeaways are:

1- I hope Nico not throwing the ball on the last play was just a brain fart in the moment and not a lack of football IQ. Time will tell. I am worried though because there were times where he let the play clock almost run out.

2- I hate their QB got hurt. He made numerous big time throws. Can't blame the DBs on most of them as they were in position.

3- I was under the false hope that having Heard back would solve our Oline woes. It didn't. I really thought that our run game would be the difference in games like this.

4- What happened to our passing down the middle to the tight end? It seemed like we had found a new weapon, and pffft, it hasn't been utilized.

5- I keep begging for a pump fake on one of the WR out throws and then take off downfield. I don't remember trying it.

6- IF we only lose one more, then we're in the playoffs. BUT, teams have the blueprint on how to throttle us, so I don't see that happening.

7- Buckle up, because there's a lot of ball left.

8- One more. At least we didn't lose to Vandy the week after being vaulted to #1 !

I went to bed when it was 7-3 …. Which one of you jinxed the game?
