Thinking through last night's game and I'm willing to say that the game could have looked different if Small doesn't drop that screen pass and is ushered into the end zone, if Keyton doesn't fumble inside the red zone, and if Milton is on target with the pass to Thornton in the end zone. 51-13 isn't great, but it makes us feel better than 30-13. However, if Peay scores at the end of the game and it's 30-20, do we feel worse?
I'm willing to take all that was last night's game of the offensive side of the ball, save the running game (except in short yardage situations) and flush it all as no one did well or did well consistently. I believe this team is missing Jerome Carvin and Darnell Wright as much as they are missing anyone from last year's team. Getting Cooper Mays back as soon as possible will help from a leadership standpoint.
It's hard for me seeing a game the rest of the season that the offense as a whole is so disjointed for an entire game coupled with the atrocious refs.
Go Vols, beat those Gators!
