On one of those nights that little went right for Tennessee after its quick first-quarter start, the clincher might have come afterward in the bowels of Sanford Stadium during coach Josh Heupel's postgame news conference.

The Tennessee Volunteers were in a place on Saturday night against the Bulldogs where they haven't been in a long time: in the game in the fourth quarter. The Vols held the ball down 24-17 with under 9 minutes to go in Georgia territory with a legitimate chance.

Josh Heupel wasn't blaming the officials for Saturday night's loss at Georgia, but he wasn't exactly thrilled with how it all went down from the guys wearing the stripes.
