Wacthing the game a few things really stuck out to me.
1. The running game, passing game and defense all looked good. It was typical in the 90's that we hung our hat on all three of these facets. We have had good teams since 2000, but usually those teams had a good passing attack and a D, but not a great running game. Granted, it was WKU, but watching the game I thought I was watching vols ball from the 1990's.
2. The players never let up. I think over the past few years, not only did the coaches let up, but the players fed off of this and let up too if we got any amount of lead. I liked this attitude and I think it will make a difference in those 4th quarters when we play Bama, UF etc.
3. Lane means business. Even in the fourth qtr, he was still intense. I'm not crowning us SEC champs, but I feel we are going to be competitive and relevant again in the SEC and national picture.
GO Vols!
