The UT staff called a pretty good game on both sides of the ball tonight. They players looked focused and confident.
The offense was on the field for only 23:29 but gained 361. We ran 34 times for 213 yards = 6.3 ypc! [Vs. UGA, we ran 40 times for 197 = 4.9 ypc.] Bray did his usual 52% vs. SEC teams, but made several very nice throws.
The D didn't give up any long plays tonight (a major improvement), just a lot of short and middle critical plays. None of the D heroics we grew accustomed to under Majors and Fulmer.
Bottom Line: Until we recruit elite D talent that can shrink the field, we're going to be a 7-5 team no matter who is the HC. IMO, Sal can do that...but there's no quick answer.
