Its a little more thanjust tempo. They're not in shape you can see it with the lack of effort and inconsistency. Remember Spurrier called out Clowney a couple weeks ago. Too much attention.
"HAHAHA that Clowney guys sucks. He only has three tackles even though he's been in the backfield all night and looks out of shape even though it's obvious he's not 100%!"
Which is why I hate that early start time vs Western Ky. - Hopefully the Vols run it up in the 1st half and play 2nd stringers the 2nd half and be fresh for Oregon.
If Clowney blows someone up then he gets ejected for targeting. But if someone cheap shots him then it's a 15 yard penalty. The NCAA has set him up for failure.
