How Bout That Defense?

[dduncan4163]

Swarming around, tackling well, and harassing Daniels all game long. DBs has looked much better too. Haven't looked this good in many moons Nation

Yeah, looked more like the defense against Pittsburgh. Florida just made a lot of plays against us.

Coaches seemed to use the bye week to focus on the right things and get things cleaned up on the back end. I was super nervous about this game. It had the makings of a classic trap. The coaches were smart to use the bye week to prepare and throw out the Smokey greys to get the team pumped up. Big win today and we get a classic clash with Bama. When was the last time we both were undefeated in this game?

Our run defense is nasty

Hopefully they're starting to peak at the right time. And we'll put it all together next week against bubba

Stepped up big time.

Needed some positive momentum going into next week.

Thanks for being realistic and giving these guys credit. Best game since Pitt?

UT Defense today:

I think they appear to be getting better as the year goes and are much further along than expected after the mass exodus of the Pruitt era.

Our d-line is legit.

 

[camp_steveo]

What a great performance! How many sacks di UT end up getting?

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Run defense is great but these 3rd and longs are killing us.. Either way, we played a good game today

"Is Rocky Top going to be a hostile environment next week when Alabama comes to town?"

"Umm, I assume so, yeah." Hendon Hooker post 40-13 beatdown of LSU in their own place.

 

[Jeff Clark]

The defense stepped up today big time

 

[Jauan't Some?]

Give Ekeler and Garner a raise today.

 

[Sara Clark]

Starting to wonder if the secondary is what has made the D look so bad. My goodness, they showed up and showed out! GBO!

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

The 4th down stops. Amazing.

 

[walkenvol]

That interference call in the end zone about 5 seconds after the play ended was total bs! Gave lsu their 2nd td

 

[dduncan4163]

I think Tim Banks earned his paycheck today

 

[dduncan4163]

Our DBs looked way better today too. This defense is starting to catch up with this offense

Swarming is the key word in your post! Haven’t been able to use that word in a while and they were 100% swarming!!!! Love it!

Our defense is improving. All teams have things they can do better, including us. But we are playing hard and improving and we have a great staff and bought in players. 1 game at a time!!!! GBO!!!!
