His post reflects my takes on the game quite succinctly.

What’s the TLDR? Or in this case TLDW?

Tennessee dominated, score doesn't indicate level of domination. Jackson Arnold is a sad story, might not start again this year or at all. Oklahoma has half of a good team but is in trouble this season. Heupel evolving and improving as a coach, didn't go to his comfort zone but made the call to play defensive game. Would have been easy to keep aiming for knockouts, and more risky, but Heupel saw what defense had brought and trusted it. Tennessee has both halves of a great team. Tennessee is in the position every coach wants to be in when they're building a program - the intangible energy that programs ascending have. Program is in that ascension phase. Players bought in, everyone on the same page. Watch the locker room video to see a bit of that buy in. Heupel was right to tell team that the best teams get better over season. Tennessee has that chance.

We probably could of scored more points , we also could of got Nico hurt. Risk reward , we didn't have to .
