Butch Jones still upset about Shy Tuttle's injury against Georgia last year
Tennessee defensive tackle Shy Tuttle enjoyed a huge performance in his first game back from injury last Saturday. Tuttle recorded two tackles, recovered a fumble and broke up two passes during the Vols’ 45-24 win against Virginia Tech.
Tuttle’s appearance Saturday was his first in 336 days, according to John Brice of GoVols247. Head coach Butch Jones said it was great to have the former Tuttle back during an appearance with the Knoxville Quarterback Club, although he is still upset at how Tuttle’s injury took place.
The former four-star lineman broke his fibula on a block by Georgia lineman Brandon Kublanow last season, a play in which Jones called “unacceptable.”
“I don’t think the entire country realizes how the injury occurred, which was unacceptable,” Jones said in reference to the play in which Georgia’s Brandon Kublanow blocked down on Tuttle from behind. “And two, the severity of the injury. That’s an injury some individuals don’t come back from. It takes their career.
Georgia put Kublanow on the Tennessee ticket.
I think Smart thinks he is too smart.
Smart doesn’t have anything to do with who goes on what ticket.
I heard about that…and I have to say that is pretty freakin low, just like the play was that wasn’t called for an illegal block.
Who Is shy tuttle
He was the freshman DL who owned your seasoned O-Line (esp. Kublanot) in last year’s game. Now do you remember?
UT fans are by far the easiest to troll…so touchy. I guess it’s just what you get when a generation of hillbilly men are raised by hillbilly mothers.

Glad he finally decided to be more of a team player and show up on the field rather than just in the buffet line

That was payback for the chop block to Chubbs knee
Hey everybody! Look at me! I made a clever comment on the internets! My team sucks, so I troll others to make myself feel better! Lol go eat some more meatloaf in your mom’s basement, loser.
Do you know how many Tenersee fans I see trolling on other pages? It’s all y’all have done for the past 5 years or so. Way to try and belittle someone for the very same thing your fanbase does 😂😂😂! Now, it’s time for you and your sister to get out of bed before mommy and daddy catch you!

How does a linebacker chop block the ball carrier while hitting him in the back? Furthermore, why would a kensucky fan care what happens in the GA v TN game from last year? Maybe the reason is it’s not BB season yet and kensucky football is going to go 2-10 this year.
It’s called trolling, and he got you.
First off, you don’t block the ball carrier, genius. You tackle him. Second, Chubb was hit at the waste by a DB. Chubb proceeded to try and stiff arm the DB while simultaneously spinning, which resulted in him landing awkwardly and injuring himself. It was a great player trying to make a play and it resulted in him getting hurt. Nobody hit him maliciously.
See reply to ACDuya above.
Chubb hurt himself… Have fun going 2-10 this year.
Bahahahahaha…what makes you think we will have TN’s record the past 5 years? Let me know when you beat a ranked team…we already have!
You beat UNC, don’t get too overly excited man. They’re good but it ain’t like Florida state or bama
Yeah and you almost lost to FCS school, they were ranked though I believe it was around 240 something.

I was talking to the Kentucky fan you moron… Also, UNC is no longer ranked. Doesn’t count as a ranked win unless they finish the season ranked. As of right now, UGA has the same number of ranked wins as TN – zero.

Ya’ll cut 7T some slack. He has zero football IQ and he sits to pee, but he does try.
Y’all cut copo some slack. His mom sits to pee and she still knows more about football than he does!
Man you logged on and got busy, didn’t ya? School just let out?
Don’t even bother responding to SevenT/LarryMunson/seatonda or whatever other name this troll uses
Don’t respond to these guys but here is my respond to those guys! 😂😂

Sorry girlfriend Chubb hurt himself out of bounds nothing dirty there ..
How many running backs have been injured in KNEEland stadium?
Hahahahaha….get it, KNEEland instead of NEYland. How punny. Lame.
I don’t know. Was that rhetorical – or are you going to provide an answer?
I can name at least 2 just from Ga in the past 3 games! Chubb and Marshall…any more sarcasm?
So what are you suggesting?

It was more to just point out how you guys are okay with dirty tackling until it comes full circle. Chubb, Marshall, and Lattimore are the only ones that immediately come to mind.
There is a big difference in tackling vs a cheap shot like the Georgia player did, cheap and almost cost a young man his career.
To excuse any player who does shows the piss poor quality of the person who thinks it’s okay because they precieve the other team as doing similar things.
A shove out of bounds vs diving into the back/side or from behind of a player who does not have the ball with intention of hurting the player is low life scum. I hope he breaks his leg at some point to know how that feels.
Lattimore wasn’t a dirty hit, nor was Marshall or Chubb. The fact you think they were means you don’t know football at all, because Lattimore’s injury came from being cleanly hit and rolling, in which UT players went to him and offered their respect. Chubb tried to do too much and what resulted from a clean tackle was his injury. Marshall I don’t remember what happened to him. However the hit on Tuttle was dirty and uncalled for because it came from behind and low. That was a definition of a dirty play.
You do realize that Lattimore’s happened at USC….
The first one happened at Neyland, then the following year he got hurt again
You listed RB’s, who get tackled and injured all the time. And Chubb was not the result of a tackle, but was Chubb just trying to spin and fight for extra yards. Kublanow is a freakin center who dove at the back of our D-tackles knees while neither of them was close to the play. That is the definition of a dirty hit.
Not as many as the amount of SC butts.
someone explain to me how the hit on Chubbs was a chop block. he was hit, in the thigh, which I do not agree with, by a DB with his shoulder. (most DBs hit this way because if they try to hit head on they generally get their ass run over), the second hit he took was in the hip with a shoulder that sent him out of bounds. his left leg WAS EXTENDED and when his cleat caught the ground his knee buckled. not once during the video did I see him take a direct hit to the knee or lower. if that was a chop block then I guess the cheap shot on Tuttle was attempted murder.
Tuttle was hit in almost the exact same place! It wasn’t low and to the hip area! Neither play was dirty…it’s football and it sucks but people need to let it go…it’s been a year already and both players look to have made full recoveries!
Excited about the game
Could not be more wrong. Chubb was planting, while spinning after getting hit in the waist and that is why his knee buckled. Tuttle had a broken leg and torn ligaments in his ANKLE, because he was hit low and from behind, and away from the play. Chubb had the ball and was fighting for extra yards. Tuttle was jogging ten yards behind the play and Kublanow waited til Tuttle had his back turned. What a POS.
You have a lot to learn. Clearly a malicious chop block by UT took out Chubb last year. Just like when UT tore up Keith Marshall’s knee with a dirty hit in 2013. Not cool.
I think you don’t understand the difference between a block and a tackle. Chubb was the ball carrier and was legally tackled. Tuttle was illegally chop blocked. That rule is a special point of emphasis this year partly because of the block on Tuttle and others like it.
WOW!….which one are you Stupid or ignorant …Once again Chubb was the ball carrier….YOU CANNOT CHOP BLOCK THE BALL CARRIER…only TACKLE him….please let us help you understand the game of football.
Obviously you don’t know football. A hit to the side or back of the knee is a chop block whether or not the player has the ball idiot.
a chop block is an attempt by an offensive player to cut block (block at the thigh level or lower) a defensive player
Wow! just Wow! Some UGA fans are…….sorry a definition just doesn’t exist.
kuzan. or susan, whatever your name is, I played football for 8 years. a chop block is a low block from a lineman going towards the knee (very dangerous). a tackle is a defensive player tackling a ball carrier. may I suggest go to you tube and re watch the game. Chubb is one of the best backs in the nation, but spin when he went out of bounds and screwed his knee. Shy was hit directly at his knee (dirty shot) even while play was past him. Georgia was getting mad about the game and took a cheap shot. To put kublano on the face of the ticket is poor poor taste. pathetic georgia, I’d be ashamed of bragging on a player that purposely almost ended someone’s career.
Yeah… I’m sorry about our fan base. A lot of them are misinformed. Which is the same for most fan bases, but ours just seem to be all over social media for some reason. I’m a football official on a Friday night crew, and anyone who watches football knows defensive players can only block on recovered fumbles or interceptions. They may be trying to say something else, but in any case, they’re using the wrong wording and language. Don’t take all of us at their level of football IQ.
Our football IQ on UGA… 38-31
and what about the five years before that preflight99?
You. Can’t. Chop. Block. A. Ball. Carrier…..
Here is the NCAA definition of a “Chop Block”
Chop Block (Offense): An offensive player tries to cut block a defensive player that is already being blocked by another offensive player. The second block may need to be below the thigh or knee, depending on the code.
Learn Football…
Shut them up real quick. Nothing to say now Kuzan?
