There are too many bowl games. A team should not be eligible for a bowl game if that team could end the season with a losing record. Still a fun game tho.
@@genocidereaper1 100% agree. I wasn't rooting for either team, just wanted to see a close, fun game between two teams that had only played each other once before, in 1979. Obviously, none of the players had been born yet, and probably neither were a high percentage of the coaches LOL Anyway, that aside... Ref caught with his finger Up his nose End result? Tennessee got hosed >:(
@@jeremiahbird930 nah. INTs from bad passes doesnt equate to good defense. They both got torched. Only decent defense, was the purdue pass rush getting strip sacks
Looked like the UT defenders were so intent on standing him up and ripping the ball out they overlooked the fact that it actually helped him stay in bounds.
Tennessee player #24 was trying not to get a call for hitting out of bounds... so he let him go. This is how screwed up the rules are not. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Perdue D did the same thing. Watch the play at 2:29 , instead of tackling the receiver got almost 15 yards after contact because he just pushed him instead of bringing him to the ground
In particular, #22 for the Vol's (McCollough?) could have kept Purdue out of the endzone at 0:15 if he had concentrated on bringing the ball carrier down rather than trying to knock the ball loose. Guys, it's TACKLE football!
As a Purdue fan this was an awful game for our special team and our defense it’s nice that our offense handled it in overtime. This was also a rematch of 2019 ncaa basketball tournament that went into overtime with Purdue winning.
Tbf, Purdue had a top 10 defense statistically over the first half of the season, and they were missing a lot of starters. 7 of their 8 best defenders were hurt or opted out of this game
I would normally agree, however I believe the issue was when the runner appeared to be stalled and his own offensive teammate jumped in….had he never jumped in, I believe the ref would have allowed the play to continue.
That was the most pathetic defensive effort I've ever seen in that first Purdue td in this video. #13 and 33 straight up gave up at the end. They had four guys on him and none of them put in any effort to bring him down.
The TD given up by Purdue on the next possession wasn't much better. With a zero blitz, thats the one move you cant get beat by. Gotta get inside leverage underneath and make the QB throw over your head and/or to the sidelines. Don't just give him the TD smh
As a Vols fan, we can sit here and bitch about the final call in OT all day. But anybody that actually watched the whole game will agree that there were blown calls all day on both sides. The officiating was atrocious. But after all is said and done, Purdue is a hell of a ball team and I congratulate them on their win. Great job, and thanks for giving us all an exciting game. I’m just sorry it had to be decided by a zebra.
That first pur doo doo score at the beginning of the video was due to really piss poor tackling by Tennessee, ridiculous especially for a sec team, that cost Tennessee the game as well but they did get robbed in OT

Mannnnn as a TN fan this game was kinda hard to watch, but also kinda fun at the same time. It was a great game though, GG Purdue, congratulations on your 9 win season. :D
The call was horrible but in fairness to Purdue,they didn't try to force the ball into the end zone on their possession in OT. They got conservative and played for the FG.We don't know what would have happened on their possession.
So the way they explained it when I watched it live was that one official already called the play short and ended his forward progress, but the whistle wasn’t blown until after the player reached over the goal line. The refs decided to stick with the play being stopped with the first official, not the whistle. Even with this explanation, I still disagree, and the officials got it wrong. Period.
They didn't call it right live. You can't advance your own runner forward by pulling them. That's in both college and pro. It's a dumb rule but look it up lol.
@Noel Kunz I find that rule so stupid honestly but it's there🤣. The refs should've just said that after reviewing then there wouldn't be as much arguing over this😅🤣
@@johndavis8746 there was no pulling. Otherwise they would have called that. Thus, they were wrong. You don't call forward progress when there's still movement towards the goal line. It was a bad call. Period.
4:27 refs ignore a blatant PI after calling PI on literally every play for Purdue. I don’t care for either team but the screw job they did on Tennessee was disgusting
3:24 refs missed a very obvious running into the kicker. Probably would've resulted in an offset due to the horse collar penalty, but with a clean tackle, that's an automatic first down for Purdue with the game tied.
This is why bowl games are so much fun. Sometimes you get these games that are just fun to watch. I am not a fan of either team; but thanks to Purdue and Tennessee for a fun game.
Tennessee got screwed! That was most definitely a TD for the Vols in overtime…Ref blew the call! Hoping we don’t get any bad calls in the playoff games.
@@laidenologyl226 it was not stopped. There was no whistle. I don't care either way, I'm a duck fan and we have our own problems, but that was terrible. These college refs are trash.
@@ShaneM223 ... Whistle does not matter, as was explained after. Once an official rules forward progress was stopped, whistle is meaningless. This isn't the first time this has happened. It happens all the time during a game and in how they spot the ball. It's only accentuated here because of the circumstance of the game and a potential TD, and fans crying about it, but it happens a lot during spots of the ball during a game. If fans are expecting officials to be perfect every time in a fast moving sport and match the fans' personal definition of what should be called, good luck with that.
He was definitely not stopped you can literally see his legs still churning. That being said both these teams defenses were so bad that they should just both lose
I'm an Alabama fan so Tennessee isn't one of my favorites. However that was definitely a touchdown by #20. He was never down and it should have been ruled a touchdown. But great game by both teams.
@@gking407 After the ball crossed the goal, they verified that on the replays. He was never down, they ruled forward progress was stopped before the whistle blew. It's kind of hypocritical, because several times runners got knocked backwards, but they never blew those plays dead & going backwards is the definition of forward progress stopped.
The refs followed the rules. What lost the game for Tennessee was the lack of time management and not using timeouts at the end of regulation. But they were probably too scared to leave any time on the clock. The end of the first half was probably on their mind.
@@sellison2192 refs absolutely did not follow rules on forward progression. that play was 100% still being played out and they arbitrarily decided when they wanted it over.
@@looperscooper3339 did you see in the video or little pictures one player pulling the other in an attempt to advance the other? That's when the play stopped. I don't know why you can push a player but not pull.
Why is everybody talking about the bad defense performance from both team and not talking about how that should have been a touchdown by Tennessee in OT. He definitely scored before the whistle.
it’s not even that it’s the fact that the refs gave us a lose due to their inconveniences.they blew the whistle when they shouldn’t have during ole miss with the scoop and score and the goal line td against purdue. but then again we’re tennessee no one likes us😅😅😅
Tenn deserve to lose this game. That clock management with 3 timeouts and throwing for the endZone repeatedly when you were 5 years short of fg range was atrocious.
Literally took the time to look it up. It's under Rule 9-3-2-b. If they were going to call it short there, they either should've penalized them for pulling or called it dead at best. You can't pull. I saw others comment and while I ALSO did not know that was a rule. I guess it makes sense why they stopped it and didn't end up giving it to them after review.
Look at 2:38. Is that an illegal block above the waist from #3 & #11 on a Purdue player? If yes; that play is called back and Tenn. is at the 33 yard line with 3rd down and 5. Do they still get a touchdown?
You gotta give Tennessee credit, their off season was terrible, they lost some really good players (Like Eric Gray, who ran all over Oregon last night). Coach Heupel has them pointed in the right direction.
Absolutely idiotic referee took an incredible touchdown away from Tennessee. That was one of the best 1 yard runs I've ever seen. The very first time I watched I could see his forward progress was not stopped and he wasn't down. So obvious. Refs need to be held accountable.
Because it's not sudden death. Purdue has a chance to score after they do, and they didn't have any confidence that their defense could stop them. It's a real disadvantage to go first in college OT.
What Bryan said. If Tennessee kicked a field goal in OT, Purdue would still get their turn, in which case a touchdown would win it. Going first is indeed quite a disadvantage, since you don't know what you'll need to tie or win, whereas the team that goes second already knows exactly what they need. For example, in this case, since Purdue knew TN didn't score in their possession, then they knew all they needed was a field goal to win it, so there was no need for them to take risks like going for it on 4th down within field goal range.
Thank you to the producer of this video. U don't want to take anything away from Perdue amazing performance throughout this game. However, Kodos for this channel for at least showing the controversial call in the endzone by Tennessee. I mean thanks but for Heaven's sake. TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!
Tennessee won for sure on that 4th down, the refs just fucked them of that win. Those refs should have been fired and that was a pretty bad call on their part.
@@brandon737 everyone keeps talking about the pulling the runner penalty. You know that wouldve just helped us right lmao. Give us the penalty and repeat 4th down and well kick a fg. Only big 10 fans agree with that call and you dont have to dig deep to see why. Great game tho minus us losing probably the most fun game to watch along with ole miss
That's a touchdown Tennessee...he was on top of the defensive player and reached the ball over the goal line without touching the ground! Tennessee was ROBBED!
I'm biased, but the ruling was correct. I would be so upset if it happened to us, but a player is not allowed to pull a player to assist him in his forward progress. The ball carrier was stopped in his tracks until his teammate pulled him into the endzone. Rarely is it enforced, but don't be upset when it is.
I was at this game. One of the most exciting football games I've ever seen. I'm a Purdue fan and think it should have been a touchdown, but the UT fans were some of the most disrespectful fans I have ever seen in my life. It was an awful experience in that regard. Booing the drum line, booing injured players, threatening Purdue fans near me because they were cheering, throwing beer and hats throughout the game. I saw some great sportsmanship between the players, but the fans were awful.
@@trippclayton Totally agree, all that I meant was that this game, it was the vast majority of the fans. I've seen some pretty terrible Purdue fans. And like you said, I've seen terrible fans at nearly every game, but most of the time it isn't like 80-90%
The play in OT where they thought they should have had a touchdown was called correctly by the officials. The reason was there was another Tennessee player, #88, who was trying to pull the player with the football forward. (See the 5:55 mark of the video) That is not allowed. The forward progress stopped at that point short of the end zone.
I’m a Vol, yes bad calls were made , yes both defenses sucked . Yes TN got robbed , by I be damned it was a hell of a game to watch . It’s amazing to see all the negative shit in the comments instead of talking about how this game ranks up there with the best bowl games ever .
No, they did not get robbed. The play in OT where they thought they should have had a touchdown was called correctly by the officials.

I just hate to see a badly blown call decide a close game. They even reviewed it, which made it even more evident it was bad call, and not reversed. I had no dog in this fight, but somebody needs firing that made that review call.
No, they didn't get robbed, that's just your way of dealing with the loss. Just admit the SEC is Bama and that's it. News flash, your conference is 1-5 now so you can stop thinking you're "supposed" to win. SEC has been riding Bama's coat tails long enough now, admit you guys suck.
@@davidcardwell7859 There's nothing to argue about. The rules are clear. A player cannot attempt to move a ball carrier forward by pulling him. Progress stops at that point. Oh, and yes...it was a very entertaining game, unless you like defensive struggles.
That 3rd & Goal at 1:30 was clearly defensive PI that was never called. All the people saying defense was trash probably didn't realize how bad the field was tonight. Very hard to plant and change direction making it hard to cover deep. All in all, a horrible loss for us and another screwing at the Music City Bowl. I'm boycotting it the next time we are eligible.
I think its close enough to be at the refs discretion, BUT I have to say UT got the bad end of a lot of calls and no-calls going Purdue's way all game long
It was close, close enough for me to have to slow mo the video. But definitely should've been called. Even though it was close enough to not be called, the defender interfered with the catch because he made it extremely hard to catch the ball the way he wrapped him up.
How come no one is talking about the blatant Helping the Runner no-call? "The runner shall not grasp, or be pulled by, any teammate, nor shall any teammate push the runner or lift him from the ground while the ball is in play. Penalty for "helping the runner" is 15 yards from the spot of the foul."
I just back to my hotel from this game. I cannot believe I saw this one in person. Just absolutely unreal finish. That was the longest last 5 mins + OT I've ever experienced in my life. Boiler Up! Also.. that totally should've been a td for Tennessee in OT.
Did the crowd realize how bad hookers deep balls were all game ? I mean wide open wrs all game underthrown or overthrown or even worse never thrown too
@@lyricalgatorade7762 your teammate cannot pull a carrier in an attempt.to assist with forward progress. You CAN push you CANNOT pull. "The ball carrier shall not grasp a teammate; and no other player of his team shall grasp, pull, or lift him to assist him in forward progress"
Yeah sure, whatever... Instead of kicking the FG, Coach Heupel goes for it on 4th down, and comes up short.... Idiotic move. Gave the game away to Purdue

Mannnnn as a TN fan this game was kinda hard to watch, but also kinda fun at the same time. It was a great game though, GG Purdue, congratulations on your 9 win season. :D
Im also a TN fan but TN should have had that td in overtime
@@SussyOnion For sure. We easily should of won before that but I feel you that call was blehhh
I admit the Vols were robbed, but I was rooting for the Boilermakers so damn hard I didn't care at the time
Yeah
Exactly. Fuck Tennessee. (UK fan)

@@GoatedAtNFS I'm an Ohio State fan so I am rooting for every Big Ten school (besides Michigan)
The call was horrible but in fairness to Purdue,they didn't try to force the ball into the end zone on their possession in OT. They got conservative and played for the FG.We don't know what would have happened on their possession.
Screw the Music City Bowl that’s twice they screwed Tennessee in that bowl
Great bowl game. Evenly matched teams and fun to watch.
So the way they explained it when I watched it live was that one official already called the play short and ended his forward progress, but the whistle wasn’t blown until after the player reached over the goal line. The refs decided to stick with the play being stopped with the first official, not the whistle.
Even with this explanation, I still disagree, and the officials got it wrong. Period.
They didn't call it right live. You can't advance your own runner forward by pulling them. That's in both college and pro. It's a dumb rule but look it up lol.
@@johndavis8746 ahh!! Didn’t even consider that. Appreciate that, as it’s always good to learn more about the game.
@Noel Kunz I find that rule so stupid honestly but it's there🤣. The refs should've just said that after reviewing then there wouldn't be as much arguing over this😅🤣
@@johndavis8746 agreed
@@johndavis8746 there was no pulling. Otherwise they would have called that. Thus, they were wrong. You don't call forward progress when there's still movement towards the goal line. It was a bad call. Period.
only watched the 4th quarter, man that full game musta been INSSAAANNNNEEE. sucks it had to end on that bs
It is the best game I have watched in a long time but I wish Tennessee were to win.
Probably the best action packed bowl game so far. Well, except today was the Rose's Bowl.
4:27 refs ignore a blatant PI after calling PI on literally every play for Purdue. I don’t care for either team but the screw job they did on Tennessee was disgusting
As a Kentucky fan it does my heart good to see Hee-Haw U get robbed.
Considering the Vols take Kentucky’s lunch money every year for the last 100 years, I can see why you’d say that.
3:24 refs missed a very obvious running into the kicker. Probably would've resulted in an offset due to the horse collar penalty, but with a clean tackle, that's an automatic first down for Purdue with the game tied.
No, they didn’t. He flopped. Tennessee player never touched him.
1:50 LOOOOL big man fallin down while celebrating is hilarious
something about purdue and tennesse playing in the postseason, always an incredible game
literally only the second time its ever happened
This is why bowl games are so much fun. Sometimes you get these games that are just fun to watch. I am not a fan of either team; but thanks to Purdue and Tennessee for a fun game.
@Zachary Trowbridge I think he might have been referring to the NCAA basketball tournament two years ago when they played in the Sweet 16.
@@ReptilianPotato basketball to genius
@@deandreray3500 Guess he doesn't watch much besides football bc who can forget that incredible game they played in basketball 2 years ago?
Basically the TN guy 88 was pulling his teammate so that’s why the ref called him down!
Try telling that to the rest of these pinheads! They all believe Tennessee was robbed... lol!
Exactly this
Worst tackling I’ve seen in a bowl game. Exciting, but probably didn’t need to be *that* exciting
Tennessee got screwed! That was most definitely a TD for the Vols in overtime…Ref blew the call! Hoping we don’t get any bad calls in the playoff games.
forward progress was stopped, teammate pulled ball carrier towards endzone which ends the play and whistle does not end the play so no TD 🤷♂️
@Rafael Felan I agree. Worst call ever. Even after replay. Refs are terrible in college football.
@@laidenologyl226 it was not stopped. There was no whistle. I don't care either way, I'm a duck fan and we have our own problems, but that was terrible. These college refs are trash.
@@ShaneM223 ... Whistle does not matter, as was explained after. Once an official rules forward progress was stopped, whistle is meaningless. This isn't the first time this has happened. It happens all the time during a game and in how they spot the ball. It's only accentuated here because of the circumstance of the game and a potential TD, and fans crying about it, but it happens a lot during spots of the ball during a game.
If fans are expecting officials to be perfect every time in a fast moving sport and match the fans' personal definition of what should be called, good luck with that.
He was definitely not stopped you can literally see his legs still churning. That being said both these teams defenses were so bad that they should just both lose
Best Bowl game so far!
I'm an Alabama fan so Tennessee isn't one of my favorites. However that was definitely a touchdown by #20. He was never down and it should have been ruled a touchdown. But great game by both teams.
they ruled forward progress not that he was down. that was the difference
Actually he was down, the ref was on TV making the call.
When did they whistle the play over?
@@gking407 After the ball crossed the goal, they verified that on the replays. He was never down, they ruled forward progress was stopped before the whistle blew. It's kind of hypocritical, because several times runners got knocked backwards, but they never blew those plays dead & going backwards is the definition of forward progress stopped.
That reception and run by Purdue’s TE was the best play of the bowl season imho.
True
Best bowl game this year so far. Fight me.
Pull up den
Meet me in the Denny’s parking lot
The Coastal NIU game was pretty good too.
It’s not even close. Coastal Carolina vs NIU is probably second but that one was nowhere near as good as this one.
It wasn’t the best bowl game when the refs get involved
It's a flash back game when Tennessee vs ole miss,had players faking injuries and cramping and one bad call from the referees cost Tennessee the game.
The refs followed the rules. What lost the game for Tennessee was the lack of time management and not using timeouts at the end of regulation. But they were probably too scared to leave any time on the clock. The end of the first half was probably on their mind.
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
@@sellison2192 refs absolutely did not follow rules on forward progression. that play was 100% still being played out and they arbitrarily decided when they wanted it over.
@@looperscooper3339 did you see in the video or little pictures one player pulling the other in an attempt to advance the other? That's when the play stopped. I don't know why you can push a player but not pull.
It was a carbon copy of the Ole Miss game.
Best bowl game of the year…..by far! Wow!
Why is everybody talking about the bad defense performance from both team and not talking about how that should have been a touchdown by Tennessee in OT. He definitely scored before the whistle.
Wrong.
it’s not even that it’s the fact that the refs gave us a lose due to their inconveniences.they blew the whistle when they shouldn’t have during ole miss with the scoop and score and the goal line td against purdue. but then again we’re tennessee no one likes us😅😅😅
@@codenameliberty9883 yes you are wrong that is very clear. That was a TD even Ray Charles could see that.
Once you get stood up for a second the play is dead. The refs fucked up by not Whistling on time.
@@adub1300 nah, he got stood up. Forward progress. If only you knew the rules🥱
The lineman falling at 1:50 made me laugh
Tenn deserve to lose this game. That clock management with 3 timeouts and throwing for the endZone repeatedly when you were 5 years short of fg range was atrocious.
Up 10+ points yet still loses the game, classic huepel
Literally took the time to look it up. It's under Rule 9-3-2-b. If they were going to call it short there, they either should've penalized them for pulling or called it dead at best. You can't pull. I saw others comment and while I ALSO did not know that was a rule. I guess it makes sense why they stopped it and didn't end up giving it to them after review.
VolunTEARS. Blame the refs yet their coach was as inept as their defense.
They didn’t mention anything about pulling the player. They said forward progress had stopped, which is BS.
2:02 Really?!
The A Train would be proud of that Boilermaker TD
Remember when these were two elite programs
Wow that's a touchdown in my book
Purdue Basketball: wanna see me beat Tennessee in OT
Purdue Football: wanna see me do it again
Lmao did you see that call that wasn't called a touchdown. Refs must've had money on Purdue lmfao.
@@5roductionz1466 keep crying #spoilermakers
@@DelGTAGrndrs you clearly don't know the rules of football. Tennessee should have one. Im not even a tennessee fan!
Look at 2:38. Is that an illegal block above the waist from #3 & #11 on a Purdue player? If yes; that play is called back and Tenn. is at the 33 yard line with 3rd down and 5. Do they still get a touchdown?
Tennessee won that game! That’s crazy!! Roll Tide!!
Great defense!! Brother? Looks exciting.
You gotta give Tennessee credit, their off season was terrible, they lost some really good players (Like Eric Gray, who ran all over Oregon last night). Coach Heupel has them pointed in the right direction.
I felt nuts taking Purdue as the final in my parlay but they pulled it off whew
Welcome to another segment of "What the F$*% is a defense?" And another incident of RefBall!
Anybody else notice that all the exciting games were not in the top 6 bowls????
Absolutely idiotic referee took an incredible touchdown away from Tennessee. That was one of the best 1 yard runs I've ever seen. The very first time I watched I could see his forward progress was not stopped and he wasn't down. So obvious. Refs need to be held accountable.
Salty
It was an amazing game to watch
Maybe I’m missing something, or some kind of rule. But why did Tennessee go for it on 4th down twice in field goal territory in OT?
Because it's not sudden death. Purdue has a chance to score after they do, and they didn't have any confidence that their defense could stop them. It's a real disadvantage to go first in college OT.
What Bryan said. If Tennessee kicked a field goal in OT, Purdue would still get their turn, in which case a touchdown would win it. Going first is indeed quite a disadvantage, since you don't know what you'll need to tie or win, whereas the team that goes second already knows exactly what they need. For example, in this case, since Purdue knew TN didn't score in their possession, then they knew all they needed was a field goal to win it, so there was no need for them to take risks like going for it on 4th down within field goal range.
Take the points.
Thank you to the producer of this video. U don't want to take anything away from Perdue amazing performance throughout this game. However, Kodos for this channel for at least showing the controversial call in the endzone by Tennessee. I mean thanks but for Heaven's sake. TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE!
Shame that Tennessee had to lose. Both teams were balling. Great game. Watching it here in Savannah, Georgia.
as a tennessee fan i agree
Tennessee won for sure on that 4th down, the refs just fucked them of that win. Those refs should have been fired and that was a pretty bad call on their part.
@@brandon737 everyone keeps talking about the pulling the runner penalty. You know that wouldve just helped us right lmao. Give us the penalty and repeat 4th down and well kick a fg. Only big 10 fans agree with that call and you dont have to dig deep to see why. Great game tho minus us losing probably the most fun game to watch along with ole miss
Watched yesterday.. Insane action
Both defenses were trying to throw the game lol
Eh it was aight I just feel sympathy for Tennessee since nothing ever goes for them.
We always get effed by the refs. Look up Jabar Gaffney touchdown from 2000.
That's a touchdown Tennessee...he was on top of the defensive player and reached the ball over the goal line without touching the ground! Tennessee was ROBBED!
Read the rulebook. Correct call, unquestionably. Not even remotely controversial. That is, unless you don't know the rules.
This was a great game to watch!
I'm biased, but the ruling was correct. I would be so upset if it happened to us, but a player is not allowed to pull a player to assist him in his forward progress. The ball carrier was stopped in his tracks until his teammate pulled him into the endzone. Rarely is it enforced, but don't be upset when it is.
His legs were still churning….. also he stretched his arm out….. highway robbery.
I usually watch two losing teams in the NFL for a great game since theyre so bad but this is much better
I was at this game. One of the most exciting football games I've ever seen. I'm a Purdue fan and think it should have been a touchdown, but the UT fans were some of the most disrespectful fans I have ever seen in my life. It was an awful experience in that regard. Booing the drum line, booing injured players, threatening Purdue fans near me because they were cheering, throwing beer and hats throughout the game. I saw some great sportsmanship between the players, but the fans were awful.
They're from Tennessee man... What you expect
They are called Voltards for a reason.
Booing injured players is something they do at all the SEC schools. Yeah, it's pretty disgusting.
@@trippclayton Totally agree, all that I meant was that this game, it was the vast majority of the fans. I've seen some pretty terrible Purdue fans. And like you said, I've seen terrible fans at nearly every game, but most of the time it isn't like 80-90%
The play in OT where they thought they should have had a touchdown was called correctly by the officials. The reason was there was another Tennessee player, #88, who was trying to pull the player with the football forward. (See the 5:55 mark of the video) That is not allowed. The forward progress stopped at that point short of the end zone.
Officials CAN'T get it right, even with instant replay!
i have no skin in this game, but Tennessee got screwed on that goal line touchdown. He was in!
I dont have any skin for the game either but the refs can call the play before the whistle is blown
As for the no-TD call. A Tennessee player was pulling him over the goal line. Only USC is allowed to do that.
Say what you want to folks...this was one of the best bowls games of the holiday season.
Amazing game! No one gave up.
I’m a Vol, yes bad calls were made , yes both defenses sucked . Yes TN got robbed , by I be damned it was a hell of a game to watch . It’s amazing to see all the negative shit in the comments instead of talking about how this game ranks up there with the best bowl games ever .

I just hate to see a badly blown call decide a close game. They even reviewed it, which made it even more evident it was bad call, and not reversed.
I had no dog in this fight, but somebody needs firing that made that review call.
No, they didn't get robbed, that's just your way of dealing with the loss. Just admit the SEC is Bama and that's it.
News flash, your conference is 1-5 now so you can stop thinking you're "supposed" to win.
SEC has been riding Bama's coat tails long enough now, admit you guys suck.
I ain’t arguing . It was a hell of a game . I’m not gonna set here and beef over it lol.
@@davidcardwell7859 There's nothing to argue about. The rules are clear. A player cannot attempt to move a ball carrier forward by pulling him. Progress stops at that point. Oh, and yes...it was a very entertaining game, unless you like defensive struggles.
Big plays all day long exciting game for sure
Not to take away from the victors but we all know that man scored.
That 3rd & Goal at 1:30 was clearly defensive PI that was never called. All the people saying defense was trash probably didn't realize how bad the field was tonight. Very hard to plant and change direction making it hard to cover deep.
All in all, a horrible loss for us and another screwing at the Music City Bowl. I'm boycotting it the next time we are eligible.
I think its close enough to be at the refs discretion, BUT I have to say UT got the bad end of a lot of calls and no-calls going Purdue's way all game long
Wah
It was close, close enough for me to have to slow mo the video. But definitely should've been called. Even though it was close enough to not be called, the defender interfered with the catch because he made it extremely hard to catch the ball the way he wrapped him up.
I'm kentucky fan. That being said, I despise Tennessee but I'll be the first to admit that even Helen Keller could see that was a touchdown
How come no one is talking about the blatant Helping the Runner no-call?
"The runner shall not grasp, or be pulled by, any teammate, nor shall any teammate push the runner or lift him from the ground while the ball is in play. Penalty for "helping the runner" is 15 yards from the spot of the foul."
I think it's only 5 yards, but yes, everybody ignores that. Tennessee shouldn't have gotten a TD either way.
I am by no means a Tennessee fan, but that was a robbery. Period.
I just back to my hotel from this game. I cannot believe I saw this one in person. Just absolutely unreal finish. That was the longest last 5 mins + OT I've ever experienced in my life. Boiler Up! Also.. that totally should've been a td for Tennessee in OT.
Why does everybody think this? You cannot pull a player. Play is dead the second that happens. 100% correct call.
Did the crowd realize how bad hookers deep balls were all game ? I mean wide open wrs all game underthrown or overthrown or even worse never thrown too
