Injury on the last play

[PirateVOL]

We had an injury on the final play
Could not see who it was or what the injury was

Finally saw a (personal) video of the play
Looks like a DB cut in front of the intended receiver to help breakup the pass (as an aside, the route was a drag left to right along the goal line that was open a count earlier)
When the player landed, a bit out of control he rolled into a DL (possibly Eason?) and it was a possible ankle injury

Also, the coverage on that play was excellent and the LBs and DBs were not static.  We ended up bracketing the intended receiver
Can't wait to get home and watch that play several times

A bama fan friend at church this am stated that Vols " are lucky the WR dropped the ball". I didn't get a great look at the play, but an announcer said a DB deflected it.

I need to watch it also

Carter deflected it
I think it was him who rolled into the DL

In any case, a very athletic, instinctive move
The receiver was open till Carter broke on him
Safety was behind the receiver

Update, the Tennessee highlights package has it clearly
It was Eason that was injured, right ankle
It was Farooq that tumbled into him

Also, it WAS Carter who left his man (TE Traore) to get in front of the WR, Evans to tip the ball
Farooq was coming hard up behind Evans and ended up rolling into Eason

I believe that Spillman was supposed to cover the zone that Evans ran into but Spillman turned his away and lost him

Just a heads up athletic play by Carter to win the game

BTW, Redmond had excellent coverage on their WR on the defense right side

Yes it was a great tip. I'll have to let the guy know.   

But was it Arion or Boo?

Arion 

Defense (defence perspective) Across the goalline
Redmond right
McMurray was on the slot with Tillman behind him
Spillman right center
Carter left center
Hood left with inside leverage on the tight receiver on that side with Farroq behind him straight up over the receiver

Evans was outside receiver, motioned inside the slot and at the snap moved straight down the goal line
Redmond took the slot
McMurray covered his zone
Hood moved out of frame with the receiver
Carter covered the TE (wingback)

As Evans went down the goal line Spillman was looking back to the right behind him
Carter was on the TE (tight)
Carter saw Evans as the QB released the ball and moved over in front of Evans to tip it away
Farooq reacted more slowly

On the backside Redmond had outside leverage and Tillman cover the inside cross
On the front side Hood had the receiver on that side who went to the corner

Tillman was coming over and was a bit late getting to the tipped ball

In concept I liked the defensive lineup
Zone across the goaline (McMurray, Spillman, Carter) with the corners covering the fades
Safeties to react to the middle

One of the other things I notice was that the the SDE looked to be more about containnment than getting to the passer
Joseph's went more inside
Eason was being pushed downfield (OG was ILLEGALLY downfield)
The RT (Campbell? it was number was 40 something and was getting to the QB as he released the ball

The QB looked right first (long look)
Moved to the left (receiver was blanketed by Redmond and Tillman)
Moved back to Evans as the tackle was getting there
