Perfectly coached game. Florida thought that if they just prevent the long passes, they had a chance, wrong. We ran the ball along with short passes. They kept thinking, along with the announcers, that any moment we were going go deep. Josh did not try to run the hurry up offense they were expecting. In a hostile loud environment we huddled up a lot, so everyone was on the same page. Lagway got one long run and they adjusted and that did not happen again. Tennessee had a well thought out plan and was very patient with it.

Agreed. Further evolution of our coach.

Great to see.

Can't fault the guy for sitting on the lead in 2nd half when he knew game was under control. I to would have liked to have a couple more scores but not unhappy at all with the win. Class move by Hype.

Yeah. If Joey threw a couple picks then they would have jumped all over him for that. Heupel took the air out of the football in the second half, any coach worth his salt would have done the same thing.. No need to risk turnovers and giving the home team life.

They also had a couple new wrinkles that they hadn’t shown. Loved the trickery with Matthews taking the ball on a run in the first half.

I liked the 4-3 base defense. It was clear UT didn’t fear Lagway’s arm. Carter was on an island at times, but we took away the middle.

I also thought the roll outs were effective.

Yes. I was rooting for 35 before we shut it down. I've seen 28 point leads evaporate in less than a quarter.

sorry but I'm going the other way. We should have won this game 62-3. Zero points in the 2nd half. Zero. This was against a team without a coach. Sit on that lead in a game that is important ie Ga, Bama, etc.. and they will inch back and win. Steve Spurrier was the king of this - put your foot on the gas and every possession is a 0-0 game no matter the score, no matter the opponent. Imbed this in your players brains no matter who you are playing so that when the big game comes up they know how to play and not lose

But we weren’t playing Bama, UGA, or a team with a potent offense. FL was afraid to throw the ball and the clock was their enemy.

It just takes a couple turnovers to change the complexion of a game. It would’ve been a different story had FL been able to score the first few possessions in the 3rd quarter.

were you there at any of Vols v Fla games in Knoxville where they ran up 60+? yeah, i bet not.

you go out to a 30+ lead in first half on vandy and it wont be pretty. Pavia can s**t 3 scores out in his sleep. If you dont learn how to keep a lead by scoring youre doomed to failure. That's what chump games are for - learning how to before having to learn on the job

Yes, I was there. I’ve been to many FL-TN games since 1992.

I agree that Heup better not put on the brakes vs. Vandy if we have a lead. Fl doesn’t have Vandy’s offense.

I agree when the game is all but won why risk players getting hurt slinging the ball across the middle. Ending the game with players healthy would be more important than running up the score

Florida doesn’t have the firepower of Vanderbilt offensively.

Save the playbook and play to beat the stuffing out of the Vandy Boys.

IMHO, both teams were bleeding the clock. UF knew they were going to lose and didn't press to try to get back in the game....I think Huepel saw that as well and knew he didn't need to press the offense.

Just looked like our running game humiliated UF and took away their will to play.
