Following targeting, Jeremy Pruitt takes frustration out on official, gets called for unsportsmanlike penalty
Tennessee is having a tough run of it lately with officiating.
The latest came late in the first half against South Carolina when Darel Middleton was flagged for targeting on a hit against South Carolina QB Ryan Hilinski, which was reviewed and confirmed.
The play happened at the Tennessee 17-yard line, and gave South Carolina the ball at the 8-yard line, but coach Jeremy Pruitt then added another flag when he continued to argue the call with multiple officials. The referee then dropped a flag at his feet as the arguing continued. Three plays later, South Carolina scored to take a 14-10 lead with 2:23 left in the first half.
However, Tennessee responded with a two-play drive when Jauan Jennings caught two passes, one for 27 yards, and another for 48 that he muscled into the end zone by shedding tacklers to re-take the lead, 17-14.
Typical UT vs SC football game. SC gets within the five yard line and the refs are signalling touchdown. Just horrible officiating.
And no targeting call here?? Refs making up for last week with SC.
It was obvious targetting he led with crown with forcible contact to head. But this is the Viles we are talking about always injuring players.
STFU, put your glasses on.
Did you see Hilinskis head snap back thats a prime indicator of targetting. I forgot your trash team goes out of its way to injure our players does Lattimore ring a bell you Vile.
Lattimore wasn’t intentional.
Cock lovers mighty quiet tonight after all the smack they’ve been talking about Tennessee this season.
SC is a weird state. Only state in the union where chickens are kept in the cellar instead of a coop.
Congrats to the Vols, you earned it. heading over to Preservation Pub to drink my troubles away, lol Rich Nasty and Oskie if you were so confident you should’ve taken me up on my wager, oh well.
Good game Bill.
Congrats Raptor and congrats on a clean victory, keep it up and make a bowl
As if you’d pay. Chickens have a reputation of running.
Also-FPI lol
Really FPI because it had played out exactly like you said, noticed you didn’t answer me every time I ask you through the season about FPI, who’s been running away again?
I’m being facetious as one or multiple games don’t impact the outcome of the performance of the entire season. The population is the entirety of all games.
So the Vols are going to win 7-8 games this year?
Glad to pick this up again anytime you can define a statistical population, anecdotal vs statistical evidence, outliers, and the significance of all three within the context of each other. Otherwise it’s not a legit fact-based conversation
@oskie congrats on the win but the FPI is still an unreliable source.
Drive safe Bill
USC didn’t even show up one loss became two. I’m done with this nonsense. I have better things to do on my Saturdays than watch Ray Tanner destroy this program.
Bye Felicia
