The Tennessee defense is still waiting for help.
It might be on the way.
The Vols held No. 1 Alabama without a first down in the third quarter and have kept it out of the end zone for 45 minutes, and trailing 9-3 at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the offense could finally provide some assistance.
Heading into the final frame, UT has the ball on the Crimson Tide 30-yard line after two productive completions from Jonathan Crompton, who has avoided making any major mistakes since his early interception.

I really hope Berry comes up with something amazing this series.

Two things are obvious. Both our kickers are inferior and the officials decided Bama would win a long time ago.

Stinkin' Lincoln.
There are many FG kickers in DIV. III much better than this louse.
Lincoln WILL NOT be playing in the NFL.
What a schmuck.

Now even Berry can't make a tackle.
IslandVol writes:
Both Sullins have killed us. They has been pushed around all day. Crompton wasn't that bad today. They were playing a great defense. Can't wait till Lincoln isn't our kicker next year.
khonea1553 writes:
I don't think this can be blamed on our O line. They have played better than any other team I have seen against Bama. Tennessee has had the ball in scoring range all day. This is nothing more than execution problems and them having more talent. If this was any other caoch we would be hearing how great a game plan this has been. Tennessee has just forgotten how to win close games. Nothing more. This isn't a moral victory. This is Tennessee looking like the better coached team getting beat by the better team.

Don't give Crompton a pass (pardon the pun).
He was brought here to score points against teams like Bama. Rivals.
livinginknoxnow writes:
Roughing the kicker that's a shame. Now it will go from a moral victory to "the refs cost us the game". If only Crompton had a shot in the last 4 minutes.

You don't like to look to the refs, but 7 penalties on TN and 1 on AL. One on TN was declined. Questionable hold on TN, and no hold calls on AL. Does seem like SEC wants AL and FL. Maybe 2 SEC in Natl Championship would mean 20 million $'s for SEC. Just notice how closer TN got to TD's, the calls increased. Questionable no interference call on AL on 3rd down as well. Really no replay of it as well. DB went over the back to bat ball. That usually is interference.

Don't wory Bama. Crompton is still under center.

Witch doctor say "moral victory".

C'mon...is Kiffin playing to keep it close?

Once again special teams cost us this game , bottom line
khonea1553 writes:
I don't get this. Have you not watched Alabama this year. Crompton is not the reason we will lose this. He has played very well.
djohnnyg writes:
If Lincoln doesn't choke we win this game...What a shame.
CRFVols writes:
If we had a kicker we'd be ahead right now.

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaase get the on side pleeeeeaaaaaccceeeee
gavol writes:
Why do I dread the fact the game is in the hands of the special teams?
khonea1553 writes:
Now, if just one of those kicks had hit we would be ahead and two they would have needed a touchdown to win. How is this anything but the best performance against Alabam all year and not one comment from the commentators about how well coached Tennessee is.

Holy COW!

AAAAHHHHHHHAAAHAAAAAAAHHH GO BIG ORANGE !!!!!

Oh my God!!!!!!
We can with this...Wait...Lincoln is our kicker...never mind.

C'mon Crompton...Don't choke!!!!!!

That's on the kicker...NO ELEVATION!!!!!!

Brilliant play calling to plunge it into the line instead of moving closer to the goal line. Kiffin knows how to get the fans fired up for next year.
