No way to sugar coat it. The OL got dominated early and often. Worley was on his back all night.
And yet, we were 2 end zone interceptions from trailing 27-24 with 12 minutes to play.
The defense gave up just 7 points in the second half. I think they are for real. I think we'll be able to slow down Gurley and co. next week. If we make Mason beat us by stacking the box, I think we can hold them to under 28 points.
Back to that offensive line. Yes they got abused. But there was growth. In the second half the run blocking was pretty good as they grew up a little bit. They have 2 weeks to grow up some more in the pass protection department. But even with as badly as they played, we still could've been in this football game late if not for a couple of bad bounces. If they show some growth? Look out. That UGA defense got exposed a little bit tonight and I don't think we'll struggle to score a whole lot. I think we clean it up a little bit and we go into Athens and its a whale of a ballgame.
Go Vols!
