On the fumble. The announcers said that the ruling on the field was that the ball was recovered by Kentucky and that part of the play was not reviewable.   So, why did Dooley challenge?

I don't think that was right.  You can challenge a fumble recovery.  In fact, it happens in almost every game.  Those announcers are really, really stupid. It was our ball and we got screwed.

Did Dooley want them to reverse the call and rule the ball wan't fumbled?  I don't understand why you would challenge a call that you cannot possibly win, since they ruled that KY recovered the ball and it wasn't reviewable?

I think the announcers said that they got that ruling from the sidelines. I assume it came from the officials.  Regardless, if they ruled the recovery was not reviewable, don't you think they told Dooley that?

The officials totally botched that one since it was clearly a fumble and clearly recovered by UT. That having been said, if we can't score 11 points against UK on a nice day with a veteran (certainly starts-wise) offense we deserve to lose.

My thoughts exactly.  We got screwed but it never should have come to that.

Dooley challenged the fumble.  He won the challenge.  We also recovered the ball.  Possession is also something that can be challenged.  The refs totally screwed up on this.  And to add insult to injury they charged us a TO even after we won the challenge.  If I were the coach on that play I would have marched out onto the field and stood over the ball until I was given a complete and sensible explanation.  One thing I would recommend to Dooley is that he get the rule book down and learn what the rules are in the off season.  He gives up on calls way to easy.

The body language of every UT player in the area of the play indicated that we got recovered the fumble.

But I'm not upset about that play, we deserved to lose this game in every sense of the phrase.  Congrats to UK.
