I’m with you.. almost everything looked promising or fixableI am glad we had 1 long 12 minute drive as well, means we can run the ball good enough to sustain drives as well. Meaning we are more well rounded. We can mash and we can dash. Our D while having a few lapses played pretty good overall. But they will be better. 1st games don’t define a season. Our run could be powerful, our O- line is deeper than 2022. Our D should be better. I think the O and D are going to get better. GBO
So the 1s are really good but we have a significant drop off after that. Doesn’t bode great for SEC play.I'm not overthinking the defensive performance against Syracuse and here is why:
Once we built the lead we rotated guys in. I had always suspected it but I looked at the drive chart and rewatched the highlights and paid attention to who was on the field.
Look at Syracuses drive chart:
1st Q - 14 tot yards
Punt (25yd drive)
Punt (-4yds)
Fumble (-7yds)
2nd Q
Touchdown (75yd drive)
Punt (39yd drive)
Touchdown (49yd drive)
End of Half (-11yds)
3rd Q
Interception (0yd drive)
Touchdown (75yd drive)
Punt (2yd drive)
4th Q
Touchdown (88yd drive)
Punt (-1 yd)
Downs (71yd drive)
Notice a pattern?
Once we established the big lead I think we started alternating drives with mostly 2s. Then we put the 1s in the red zone.
During Syracuses scoring drives in highlights reels I saw these guys: Spillman, Beasley, William Wright, Ben Bolton, Ty Redmond, Brendan Anes, Jaedon Harmon. Jordan Burns also recorded a tackle. Then I noticed the 1s would be out there once they got into the red zone.
Yeah. I only bet $.85 on it., just the change that was on my account. I thought there was no way it would hit. $.85 for $707.
I haven't looked at it closely because of stition. I should probably just let it ride for $.85, but turning down $100+ is hard to do. May cash out, just as an F.U. to the betting apps.
ironic that hemet is a strap on.View attachment 769481
Y'all got it all wrong. He's actually modeling their new equipment and apparel deal.
The participation report shows 64 Tennessee players played.I'm not overthinking the defensive performance against Syracuse and here is why:

kinda reminds me of a VP that enters a room, unexpectedly. 'hey, guys! its me,Meh, that don't bother me as much as the incessant rewinding. Just let the tape play! . .or pause it for a second while you talk.
Get ready @VolsDoc81TX...At first, I was confident that the Vols would score 2 TDs per quarter and 1 field goal per half for a total of 62 with Syracuse scoring 3.
But I had a premonition that the final score will be
Tennessee 45
Syracuse 26
There will be an extreme amount of anxiety early when numerous WRs drop difficult but catchable passes. They settle down and there’s never a doubt that the Vols will win. Oh yes, first quarter boys are back. Defense is clicking and occasionally missing but overall great.
Oh and just for fun, I also predict that nico will throw for less than 150 yards. He definitely made the right decision to leave Tennessee. Right decision for Tennessee that is…
Still on track for
17-0
I’m still in 8/16, but I will have to skip ahead to the future because the conversation here is not really about football. It’s Time!![]()
