Thanks Poole
But thank you Bray for bringing some confidence back into the offense, even if just a little bit more confidence. It was enough to beat Vandy.
Got to give it to Poole.
I wonder if there’s something to the Pistol formation.
Anyone watching the Oregon game
Worst hold ever
defense did their job the whole time
Vandy didn’t have a sustained scoring drive all night. good to see

The good news about that review, btw.
Is that, rulebok be damned, it was the RIGHT thing to do. Gordon isn’t caught if there was or wasn’t a whistle.

Yes.
At some point, the officials should have the ability to make the right call. It’s a scary, scary power, because they could really mess something up. But that was so blindingly obviously the right call.
by David Hooper on Nov 19, 2011 10:44 PM EST up reply actions
The whole point of review
was to stop premature whistles. You let the play go, and if review shows he was down, you call it back.
Yep.
Which is why I was SUPER pissed there thinking it wasn’t going to count.
______________________________________________
Boom. Here comes the Boom. Braydy or not. Here comes the boy from the West.
There definitely was a whistle.
I mean, there definitely was. By the rulebook the play can’t be challenged, which is why the head ref — after seeing the big replay and the obvious not-down, said specifically there wasn’t a whistle when he went to review it. It was the right call without being the correct one.

in the replay it looked like and sounded like
he blew the whistle, marked the spot and then stopped waving his arms like he changed his mind.
Before the head guy announced review, he asked him if he blew the whistle and he said no. That guy’s screwed either way for premature whistling.

The whistle blew three times
If you were Franklin, how could you not argue that your defense heard the whistle and stopped pursuing the play? Based on the whistle-happy ref, that play should absolutely not have resulted in a TD for UT. I just knew the review would be waved off due to a dead-ball whistle and UT would start from the 25 at the other end of the field.
After 3 offensive plays, Palardy would trot out onto the field and produce another one of his classic line drive, knuckleball kicks that would carom off the back of an offensive lineman’s head and bounce forward before hitting the crossbar and somehow come to rest on top of it. How can one coach be involved in so much weirdness at the end of games?
by pound the rock on Nov 20, 2011 12:54 AM EST up reply actions
Franklin should certainly argue that
but there was no way in God’s green earth that he was gonna catch him

Technically...
the replay officials can overturn ANY “egregious error”. But typically the rule is that the ball would be dead on the whistle.
Franklin
Was certainly furious. I didn’t see him shake Dooley’s hand. Vandy’s players, though they had no chance to catch the guy with the ball, might have pulled up when they heard the whistle. After all the end of game shenanigans Dooley has been through, I find it hard to care much about winning despite questionable calls.
by pound the rock on Nov 20, 2011 12:59 AM EST up reply actions
Based on when the whistle happened
Even if Vandy players did pull up, it wouldn’t matter. Gordon was ten yards downfield at that time and had a posse of blockers behind him.

They are not grumbling too much about the last play. They’re more ticked at the missed FGs and stupid clipping play.
I mean,ultimately the refs got the call right
the errant whistle shouldnt have been there anyway
Well, they are Vandy fans
They’d like to think they’re educated. Whether or not they truly are educated is up to them.

If any of y'all read Clay Travis' ridiculous column this week...
about how “James Franklin is Derek Dooley’s Worst Nightmare”, you can kinda understand why he’s being such a d-bag on Twitter now. He really thought Vandy would win (and really wanted them to). I know a lot of his schtick is to get hits and stir up stuff, but I really think he got burned by one of Dooley’s replies to a stupid question in a presser, and he’s had an agenda against him since then. It’s sad to see someone who could be a good writer be such a small minded spoiled baby.

SEC's Steve Shaw just released statement saying refs screwed up end of game.
Statement from Steve Shaw, SEC Coordinator of Officials concerning final play of Vanderbilt-Tennessee game
“On the last play of the Vanderbilt-Tennessee game, in overtime, the Tennessee defender intercepted the pass, his knee did not touch the ground and he returned the interception for a touchdown. During the play, the head linesman incorrectly ruled that the Tennessee player’s knee was down when he intercepted the pass by blowing his whistle and giving the dead ball signal. The play was reviewed as if there was no whistle on the field and as a result, overturned the incorrect ruling. By rule, if there was a whistle blown, the play is not reviewable.”

Well, sure, you take the win
But you’d rather win straight up and not have to listen to somebody say, “Yeah, but, the refs!”
Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.
It's a shame
Because the ref made a horrible call to blow the whistle. You err on the side of “He wasn’t down” in those situations and, as replay showed, it wasn’t even that close. The ref was just guessing at that point and, repeat after me, the whistle didn’t change the outcome of the play at all. I feel like, had a Vanderbilt player gotten or been anywhere near that play, they don’t call it a Touchdown, but replay after replay shows that, when the whistle happened, there was 10 yards between Gordon and the nearest defender, and those 10 yards were filled with orange jerseys.

Oh, I totally agree
But by the letter of the law, the play was over after the ref foolishly blew his whistle.

hopping over to the Vandy SB site
they seem to be in agreement that the ref who ruled him down was 100% in error. And since all the players kept playing through the entire play, including the TD, i’m gooin got say… no harm no foul
Yeah.
Everyone can agree that it was a clean TD by Tennessee… just idiot ref almost screwed that up. What cost Vandy this game wasn’t the refs — it was the clipping, the too many slants, the Rodgers, the Poole.
______________________________________________
Boom. Here comes the Boom. Braydy or not. Here comes the boy from the West.
And I think most Vandy fans are aware of that
Anchor of Gold has some mentions of the refs, but it’s more a general condemnation of how bad they suck rather than around one particular play. Vandy played their worst game in a month a half and that’s why they lost.
Tennessee fans roll their eyes when I talk about Vandy, Vandy fans become ill when I talk about Tennessee.

but we can also pick out things that screwed up UT
I always say that a single play does not win or lose a game, and we had our fair share of plays that should’ve lost if for UT.
And to VolnVA below me, if you look at their post-game thread, they specifically mention that play, and specifically mention that the ref was an idiot for calling it down.
Well sure, there were a couple comments
But it’s not a full on rager about it.

of course not.
but there’s nobody saying that the play should’ve been called back, so it works for me.
Vols show up in number 1 and 2 on ESPN's top plays.
For all the good reasons :-)
(Gordon was #2 by himself, Rodger’s second catch was part of a collaboration of one-handed grabs.)

Not their best effort. I think I mentioned something earlier in the week about “bowl gameS,” so you can draw your own conclusions about my feelings around the outcome.

yeah, that was in a response to me. I remember
I actually thought Tennessee had nobody to blame but themselves for the game being close in the first place, but Vandy certainly had their chances.
That said, when it looked like Tennessee was going to pull away and make it the standard UT/Vandy game (which actually happened a couple times), Vandy stayed in it. Made plays even. That’s new.

We kick the FG and take a 17-7 lead, and that’s insurmountable. Our defense didn’t allow anything all night. But wow, what a finish. And I didn’t even know about the whistle part until the radio on the ride home. Ain’t nobody hearing any whistles in that crowd.

That's what I figured.
Apparently the ref who blew it told the head ref that he didn’t, in fact, blow the whistle. In the hubbub nobody heard it, but they mike the refs up so much, and those high-pitch sounds carry on speakers. Dooley, in the post-game, said he was REALLY confused as to why the play got called back because “nobody heard a whistle.”

Brad said he called the Worley end zone pick against Carolina
I think we’re just to the point where we’re calling picks whenever we get inside the 10. I was literally thinking “okay, a field goal puts us up two scores, let’s just run, no need to be risky.”
One thing I hate about the pass-happy offense is what happens in the red zone. Passing is so much harder inside the five. Need a run game for those moments.

Well.
Bray is pretty good in the redzone. I just don’t like spacing routes — which looked like the call, a bunch of short hooks. You hope someone is ignored. Throw fades, Rodgers is incredible at going up and gettin’ it.

Boom. Here comes the Boom. Braydy or not. Here comes the boy from the West.
he's pretty good in the red zone
but passing in general is a lot harder. he’s only good at passing in the red zone because he’s fantastic at passing in general. And when you have a good run game, a mediocre play gets you 2 yards. A mediocre pass play gets you jack. So in short yardage situations, I prefer to be a running team. Of course, being a passing team pays off in long-yardage situations. But balance would be nice. Tonight was a start.

I’m just saying Bray’s job in the red zone and Worley/Simms is a big, big difference. Definitely need to be able to get those yards, or at least line up in a running formation in that situation, I feel like.

Bray's picks
When you throw the ball around it is bound to happen. He hustled to prevent the pick 6 on the one, hit him hard. The other one well we will just forget about it. Overall I think he played good considering he has a broken thumb and hasn’t played in a game in five weeks. He still threw hard and deep. Looking good for the future IMO.

he was basically responsible for 14 Vandy points (although he did make a nice tackle)
but he was also responsible for a couple nice touchdown drives and for giving the team general belief in their ability to win. And all that one game after missing a month with a broken thumb. Not terrible, on the whole.

disagree...
we’d been able to get a yard when needed up to that point, and had 9 yards rushing the previous 2 plays. Also didn’t like going to Neal, who doesn’t have particularly good hands. Even with a perfect pass I think he’s 50/50 to catch it.
Had been down 2/1 in TOP too, it appeared at the time that we needed a rest.
was also concerned because it was the opening drive...
felt like we needed to establish our offense there, and we coulda nearly put it away if we got real momentum.
there were so many places where we could've put it away if we'd gotten momentum
Vandy didn’t have a sustained scoring drive all game, and our offense was just clicking down the field with very little resistance when they got in a groove.
It was a little surprising how close the yardage totals were, but I think it’s because Vandy usually got 20-30 yards and then punted or turned it over, whereas Tennessee either had 80 or 0. It evens out, but ours is the model that wins games.

yeah, we had
but we had a play call that should’ve gotten us a bazillion passing yards. He had miles and miles of space. I couldn’t see that it was intended for Neal—I’d thought it was Rogers. So that is a fair point.
But we schemed a guy wide open. I can’t fault a play call when you scheme a guy wide open.

I don't recall that play looking that wide open.
The camera angles in the game were horrible. I’m not sure if it was so it’d be great for both the people watching in 3D, or if it was to tell all of us how bad things can be if we don’t get 3D.

Everyone wants me to challenge it and they don’t know it’s not a challenge-able play. So I had to go educate a hundred-and-five people on the sideline that I can’t challenge it.

You can talk about Dooley being too hard on his guys when he loses, btw.
But he’s the biggest cheerleader when they play really hard. I feel like criticism and compliments from this guy are earned, which must make hearing him heaping praise on so many people (sans the FG team. “That wasn’t a block, that was a kick up the center’s tail..”) so great for the guys.

In hindsight, leaving might not have been my best idea.
I had something else I had committed to last night, so I stopped watching right after Bray’s pick-six. I wasn’t too concerned, though; it’s something about the helmets and the jerseys.
Glad to see that we scored in the second half. Glad to see that we’ve now raised our record to 1-2 in games that were decided after the final whistle. Glad for the seniors. Glad we can still have a chance to play in a bowl.
Glad to see that we faced the same thing we’ve faced most weeks and didn’t fold. The best way to break a mental habit is to just break it.
