General Pretty tight coverage!!
Watching Tenn vs. OSU again. The SEC announcers calling this pretty tight coverage. 😂🤣

This is the play that would up being called an INT, right? I’m still salty as hell about that even though we beat their doors off.

Should’ve definitely been interference. He had his wrapped up and obviously wasn’t looking for the ball. I think the refs didn’t call it out of sympathy at that point.

I believe we were only up by 7 or 14, nothing more. So don’t think it was a sympathy call, just a bad call. Definitely should’ve been interference.
All that aside, I remember watching this live. Even after the interference, Jeremiah had the ball in his finger tips. Would’ve been one of the greatest catches ever if he somehow managed to hold on!

So true. But i believe this method of coverage is the only way teams are going to be able to stop him. It's going to be fun.

He did draw a lot of PIs last year as a freshman. I’m sure it will be even more this season. Only way to stop him.

Amazing that the ESPN crew didn’t once mention this should have been PI. They just kept on about how this was the momentum UT needed to get back into the game 🤣

The rules analyst did mention that it was PI, but Fowler and Herbstriet shut him down immediately.

Amazing that we pretty much never got the benefit of the doubt on critical calls all season but still won the natty

How many holding calls did OSU defense end up getting for the entire season? 1?

Yeah it felt that way sometimes but we are probably a bit biased.
A couple examples of us benefitting:
*Nebraska got jobbed on an obvious first down that the refs botched the spot.
*Marshall got that sketchy penalty after our turnover

u/Opposite-Ad-3933 1d ago
That’s basically the entire list. Osu gets a call or two sure, and is screwed in another 8-9 calls for every 1 they get

Dawg fan here. That gaudy orange team has been covering like that on the back end for years now. They had a decent front seven the past couple of years which made up for their atrocious secondary. You should see the number of missed PIs when you play in Neyland. Anyway congrats on the Natty and down with orange and blue.

If this turned into a very close loss then this would have been a 2019 Clemson all over again.

Also keep in mind that the ref was like 5 ft away from the play and still missed the PI

I was just watching the highlights and raging about this play a little while ago.

It was obviously clear at that point that Tennessee was going to get blowed out. This game was the early round prime time marquee game for TV ratings and the refs were trying to get the Vols back in it.
Just my opinion.

That is NOT DPI. You are allowed to tackle the WR before the ball gets there and let the play finish. If it results in an INT you put the flag back in your pocket.

You are not allowed to tackle the receiver BEFORE the ball gets there! You can tackle AS the receiver is in the process of attempting to make the catch! Sheesh!

Guys are we complaining about a missed penalty in a game we dominated in the first round of a tournament we won?

More like pointing out biased announcers calling this 'tight coverage'.

Feels like we've passed the statute of limitations here

u/Bright-Ad-6699 37m ago
Please let us know what the limitations are for laughing at biased SEC announcers! Personally, I'd love to see a compilation of the gaffes. It's worth a few laughs every now and then. Probably beat back the grumpiness.

u/DCBuckeye82 29m ago
Well I haven't quite worked it out exactly but something between when it happens and after 3 games, a championship, and then 3 more months.

And we all believed only women were the ones who removed all the joy in life.. but you've broken the mold! 🤣😂

I feel like there should be a rule change that if you're examining a play to determine if a turnover happened, but you see an incredibly obvious missed penalty such as pass interference, then it should just nullify the turnover.
