  • The Vols had ZERO sacks and only 3 maybe 4 hurries. Those hurries turned into first down runs by Beck.
  • Beck had 347 yards through the air with ZERO interceptions. He had all night to throw the ball.

I believe the UGA O-lineman average weight, which was very uniform was 315 pounds and they were healthier than the previous weeks because injuries are healing or heeled. The weights were from a very brief display of pics of UGA O-line very early in the game. "Healthier" is from Dawgnation on Youtube.

If you watch any NFL, compare their O-line with UGAs and you'll see UGA is pretty much a professional O-line.
It's why I believe Beck had so much time last night, meaning; it wasn't failure on UT's part, but more a credit to what UGA had going for them last night.

According to Dawgnation that has former players on as guests: Kirby and Bobo go into every game with 3 offensive schemes. One used exclusively in the first half and the second and perhaps a third used in the second half. This gives the coaches the opportunity to switch strategies mid 2nd half if needed and the players are ready for either to be used.

The football forum is not happy with Heupel, but I think he's very good and look how fast he turned around the Vols. Most fans tend to be too impatient with coaches, but changing a program is a process, not an event. (I rarely look at the football forum because what they want is what they expect and they want it right now. UT is poised to be a great football program and I think it's one of the few to have figured out how to take full advantage of the Portal and NIL.

Aside: I believe Vitello has proven he too knows how to take full advantage of the Portal and NIL. UT fans might want to reflect on how good the coaching is and that very good players from both sports are attending UT because of those coaches.
Ole Miss had 5 sacks.
 
That's why Notre Dame losing or Florida beating Mississippi is Tennessee's only path to CFP.
I don’t even want to risk having the same record as Notre Dame at this point even with us having a much better résumé. I think we can all agree the only surefire way we get in is Ole Miss and A&M having 3 losses. Doomsday scenario is A&M beating Texas and then we have 6 of us tied at 10-2. We would 100% get left out.

Yep, no excuses. The defense really disappointed me last night. Georgia is the new Nick Saban Alabama though. Everything can and will go their way. The forward pass that was fumbled but actually incomplete. The fumble on the very next play where one of our guys had a chance at it. The missed fumble of their TE downfield that was ruled incomplete. Just every big moment went their way after being down 10-0. It was very reminiscent of at Alabama last season. Got out on them and then completely laid down.
 
Sad thing is we are losing so much on the DL and probably have no shot at the playoff next year. I don’t see us finishing better than 9-3 next season unless Nico takes a giant step forward. Losses at Alabama, at Florida and home to Georgia.
