Tennessee football exchanged touchdowns after touchdowns with Georgia. But head coach Josh Heupel received a barrage of criticism after falling to Georgia 44-41 . With fans calling him out after the wild loss.
One fan ripped Heupel for playing it safe toward the end — by opting for a field goal with a narrow lead.
“Tennessee fans are gonna blame the kicker for the loss but Josh H eupel playing for a field goal up five versus Georgia is what cost them the game,” a fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The Volunteers missed a 43-yard attempt in regulation. Quarterback Joey Aguilar guided a late drive before Heupel threw the field goal unit out. Tennessee still had three timeouts left during the drive — which Heupel never used. One fan called him out for not calling a timeout.
