In appreciation of the TVA (i.e. offensive line!)

[FBtime]

- 183 yards rushing with Wright and Small combining for 124 tough yards averaging over 5 yards per carry
- Only one sack for Bama and Hooker had time to sit back and wait for longer routes to develop. On the last play HH had time to pump TWICE before finally throwing. They knew it was coming and could not get past our OL. All the talk about Will Anderson and I think I heard his name called once or twice.
- TEs made big catches all day!

OL played great tonight.

One hell of a performance from our OL.

Salute.

Unsung heroes, all season long

Unsung heroes, all season long

Exactly...They get lost in this high powered/fast paced offense....but they are the unsung hero's for sure.

 

[FBtime]

Jeremiah Crawford giving it his all!

 

[General Jack]

Stunning development on both offensive and defensive lines, they are legit top tier SEC quality. It’s just amazing.

 

[VFFL@THE BEACH]

Unfortunately, this thread won't get the attention it deserves. The o-line has played amazing.

I think May's has been a phenomenal anchor and will be difficult to replace.

Darnell Wright made a lot of money today. He owned the so called best player in college football. The tape won't lie come NFL draft time. During the last 15-20 years of misery there has been no greater deficit between Us and the elite teams than the OL and DL. No More! Come get some Georgia!

 

[warrior]

Yep. It is good to see those guys that came here even though it was a dumpster fire because they love TN being part of this.

A poster on TideFans stated that Willie Anderson was manhandled by our RT to the point that he hurt considerably his draft position.

Great post OP! I’ve not seen the talking heads bring up what a massive game the OL turned in tonight. Just monsterous!

Absolutely hilarious!!!

I think Anderson had 1 TFL the whole night. UT's OL was amazing. Underreported story of the game.

 

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Yeah their protection on Hooker was outstanding, and I do not for a moment think Bama had a better Offensive line.

 

[nomads-11]

Seriously, some unsung hero...the OL. 1 sack. Probably the real reason TN win, giving HH the time he needed.

That was straight up medieval. The OL battled and did their jobs through the last play. Unbelievable performance. They are heroes!

 

[82Grad]

The OL's performance was stellar! You know what else was stellar? Heupel's decision to keep the foot on the gas and drive for a winning field goal with 15 seconds left rather than take a knee and go to overtime. How many Tennessee coaches in the past 10 years would have taken a knee? Probably all of them!

 

[37620VOL]

Which oline was big-time in Too Too's face after the 2 point conversion? He was letting him have it.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Where was Will Anderson

 

[Volador]

Thanks FB Time for this thread. Without this amazing group of big men, there is no HH, JH, JS or W in Knoxville. Job well done gentlemen. Proud of you. You neutralized and steamrolled one of the top Defenses in the country and allowed the Offense to lay fiddy two, yes, fiddy two points on Satan and his highly touted D.
