Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel clearly wasn't happy with the officiating during UT's 34-20 loss to Alabama on Saturday (and he shouldn't have been). 

The game was blatantly called in Alabama's favor (you can read plenty about that here). The Vols didn't played well, but the one-sided officiating torpedoed any chance they had to win the game. 

After the game, Heupel was asked if he felt the officiating was one-sided. 

Heupel went silent for several seconds before saying "next question". 

It had to be hard to show restraint in that moment. But Heupel was wise to not say anything. That's the last thing Tennessee needs to deal with right now. And anyway, the film will show that he has plenty of reason to be upset.
