All you optimists were right! When some were saying this morning "we deserve a win," I was tempted to quote Clint Eastwood: "deserve's got nothing to do with it."
But today was like awakening from a bad 3-4 year dream. We saw:
- Vol playing D flying around, fired up like never before
- a mediocre-at-best QB somehow makes a clutch throw late in the game
- the WR makes a miracle one-hand catch
- the RB drives it down to inside the 5 (reminiscent of Travis Henry's running in the '98 Arkansas game)
- superb time management as the seconds ticked down
- finally, a formerly much-maligned kicker nails the game winner
That, boys and girls, is Tennessee football the way it should be played.
