Apparently, you’re not allowed to have a certain formation, even if it’s perfectly legal, if it will fool the Alabama Crimson Tide. Tennessee football was a victim of that on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. Yes, they were guilty of calling a trick play that might fool Nick Saban.
Down 14-7 in the second quarter, the Vols were driving. They got it to 1st and goal. With Jarrett Guarantano in at quarterback, Jeremy Pruitt and Jim Chaney called a trick play in which Guarantano ran out into a receiver’s formation.
Immediately, the refs blew the a whistle.
