The Kentucky game showed that defense can drain the clock by causing the opponents offense to spend their time gaining yards but not points. Red Zone defense seems to be the best measure of the defense with a Huepel team. Obviously stopping the other team from scoring is the goal, but preventing big plays, make the opponent waste time, win on third down, and a stingy in the red zone defense exemplifies what playing from behind does to the clock without big play ability. Kensucky had to scratch there collective heads over this loss; a vol classic win.
Consider the Kentucky game story. Tennessee possessed the ball for 13:52 and we were out gained 612 to 461. Traditional wisdom would say that such an outcome is not possible. A useful conclusion is that ball control is not a strength in todays football but could be a weakness when facing a team with big play competence. GBO
