The play ended "in the ref's mind". My bad. I thought the play ended when the whistle blew.

quote:

The refs ruled that Vols running back Jaylen Wright had his progress stopped on 4th and Goal even though Wright wasn’t down and he was still reaching toward the goal line. The whistle didn’t blow until after Wright put the football on the line but the ball was marked just short of the goal line and Tennessee turned the ball over on downs. Purdue kicked a field goal on the ensuing possession to win 48-45.

Call was correct. Tennessee player grabbed the shoulder pads and dragged the ball carrier forward.
Tennessee sucks

Tennessee did get screwed.

By their coach and his play calling. Get 5-10 more yards and the FG at the end of registration is good. Instead Heupel got greedy and got burned.

It was a TD ......

I am no Tennessee fan, I hate refs that screw up the game of football....

The refs and replay guys should be banned from football,...

He was not down , he reached the ball across the goal line , then the whistle blew......

Don’t bring up some team mate trying to help get him across the line, that has never been the end of play. I have seen hundreds of scrums continue TILL THE WHISTLE BLOWS..... IF YOU CLAIM THAT TEAMATE HWLPING HIM IS THE END YOU HAVE WATCHED ZERO FOOTBALL THIS YEAR...L.L

Pulling is rarely called. I think it’s been a decade since it was called in college football.

But if the refs didn’t screw up the forward progress call, but did call pulling, then UT still would’ve been able to kick a fg

The refs f’d up

I don't know if you'd call it greedy.
Unless he was trying to cover a 5 point spread for a bet or something.
I didn't understand the long passes either, though.

He also went for 4th and 1 in red zone instead of going up 4 earlier. Coach killed their chances. Players deserve better.

It was a terrible call, but it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving program and fanbase.

Tennessee had four quarters to win the game. I’m sorry y’all still suck after 23 years.

While the whistle can cause the ball to become dead, by rule, the ball is dead when the runner's forward motion is stopped. The whistle then signals that the ball is dead.

He didn't get greedy. Purdue covered the short and intermediate stuff. We just missed on the first one and the second one a blatant PI was missed

First off that hasnt been the case all year. When they started all the pussification of football, one thing they eased back on is letting these stood up ball carriers be the center of a rugby scrum. You know good and well if that happned to yall, especially against Alabama, your fanbase would be rioting in the damn streets.

It's ok we all make mistakes. The important thing is you've learned something.

Yes, we learned the rulebook does not matter when the ref uses ESP to communicate that a play is over.

All this time we thought the whistle blew the play dead.

You'll get your chance. The refs hate Lane. Too bad you don't know your SEC history.

When UT and UA played with Lane as UT's coach. Remember that field goal that fat, dog killing piece of shite, Cody, blocked? Do you know why Lane tried a field goal from that far? Because the refs screwed his team so many times. He said after the game, "not giving them another chance."

Keep running that dick sucker. Your time will come.
