Serious question: is UT's o-line that great, are there rbs that great, or both, to have that consistently potent if a running attack? I mean, they don't even hide what they are going to do and they still keep churning out yards.

UK has stayed in this game better than I expected, but I had to turn it off to out the kids in bed so I can only check the box score. They seem to have some seriously dangerous quick-strike weapons, but they are wildly inconsistent

Exactly. Why do they keep calling the QB on a designed run play?! He's afraid to take a hit and folds like a dollar when defenders get within a couple yards of him.
And besides that, UT's running game (with the running backs) is quite effective.
 
I believe Milton lives to just do their quirky little celebration dances, whether they make a TD or a 1st down. 🙄 Earlier in the game he made a short pass that went for a 1st down, and he does the Superman pull at his jersey like he just won the championship.
 
Really, option play to the short side of the field while trying to run down the clock.

Edit: I did like Milton trying to slide before going out of bounds.
 
Good game. To whine just a tad; that completion they gave UT when the receiver clearly did not have COMPLETE control of the ball when he went out of bounds led to 3 points.
I believe that should have been incomplete pass. Not from lack of control but I thought the foot came up before catching.

But it was one of those plays you just have to go with call on the field after review. If it had been called incomplete, it would have remained incomplete after the review

My thoughts exactly

Had that same play happened last week, do you think it would have stood 😁?

It wasn't a catch.

But, it was good to see them call the clapping penalty again 👏 o_O! The guy has probably clapped every play on defense since grade school, and now it's a penalty.

Or, how about Pierce being held down after down. I wonder how many Leary would have completed with legit pressure on him.
 
I thought the officiating was almost as bad tonight as it was last week. Just not as one sided. Lots of bad / missed calls both ways I thought. That said I'm sure glad we pulled that one out. I felt like we would lose basically the whole second half. Also thought both teams defensive game plans were AWFUL.
 
Only saw the first half. Wife and I came to Gatlinburg and were up at 5:15 to go hike Mt LeConte (that's 4:15 our time). After a sit in the hot tub and a couple beers my eyes couldn't stay open for the second half and I fell asleep. UT did what they needed to do but just couldn't put the cats away. Leary looked like an All American and completed every 3rd and long it seemed for a first down. Glad they pulled it out. Oh and the catch and the end of the first half…I didn't think was a catch. Thought his foot was off the ground before he had control but not enough video evidence to overturn it. Had it been called incomplete initially it wouldn't have been overturned either. But hey I'll take the W! 🍊
 
It is frustrating when a team continues to make the same simple mistakes as if the coaches don't cover it nor go over it in practice. Of course, it may be that the player is trying to cheat or is just not too bright. A defensive player clapping when the opposing offense uses the handclap as part of their starting signal is an easy call for the officials.
