So, big improvements in the 1st team defense- wouldn't take much after last year. Juco transfer D-Lineman Za'Darious Smith was a monster today.
Tennessean Dyshawn Mobley led the game in rushing, 13 for 65 yards. Another Tennesseean, QB Reese Phillips came in and led a scoring drive in the 4th quarter.
QB situation will be not decided over summer. Max Smith, Jalen Whitlow, and Patrick Towles all threw for touchdowns, although Smith will probably get the nod in the end. Whitlow seems to have benefitted the most from the installation of the Air Raid. With players spread out, it bodes well for his ability to tuck and run or throw into open spaces.
Overall, a good start for the Stoops era. One turnover in the game, an interception. Zero fumbles, so that's improvement.
