I added Dobbs' late touchdown run to finish all the touchdowns runs.

Expect a little something else either late tonight or tomorrow on the defense.

I wasn't impressed by our OL. We were consistently high and leaning on the defense instead of being low and delivering a punch. When a big defender does a bull rush on these guys, he is going to knock them back on their butts because they generate no pop to stop the defenders forward momentum. You have to get low where the bull got his breakfast.

I respectfully disagree. Part of this scheme.

If you run a straight man blocking scheme (like Michigan is doing with Harbaugh this year) then yes that is highly important. But Tennessee runs a lot of zone read plays mixed with pulls. The key isn't about blowing him up but about moving him from his spot to create a hole. You don't need to always be low on that.

Also these are run plays. A bull rush on a run play won't matter that much. Hurd or Kamara will slip by them. I think Dobbs was hurried only 3-4 times and thought we did a good job containing the defensive line.
