There was a whole SEASON when we couldn’t field a kick or kick an extra point. We have a missed 47 yard FG, a flubbed kickoff coverage, a shanked punt and a fake punt for a TD. I’m in relative Heaven! Our coverage has been lights out, FG’s aren’t an adventure and punting is solid. All that can be asked.Our special teams play hasnt looked as good as it did early in the season. JMO

I think penalties will be the key. If we get some "home calls" that put them in long situations, it will stall drives. However if we revert to early season mistakes, it will stop us from scoring. Remember Florida!!!!
Tenn low penalties = 37
Ole Miss = 28
Tenn high penalties = 28
Ole Miss = 35

We're just not there yet. OM's level of competition has been better than ours, and we're still not playing with a full deck (65 or so scholarship athletes). With everything in me I hope I'm wrong. We know how to win when we come out and punch someone in the nose, but I'm not sure if we have the mentality to mount a comeback if OM gets ahead 14-17 points.
