That's exact!y what I was hoping to see...a push back against adversity.

You put 14 early on a Dino team and it was lights out. This team has some starch
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

Stats at the half:

McDonald is 15/20 passing for 133 yards.

Osborne has 7 catches for 45 yards. Croom has 4 catches for 37 yards.

Nobody has any significant rushing stats. On 11 “carries” we have 5 yards. If you take out the McDonald rushes (sacks), you get 9 rushes for 18 yards. But that’s not surprising here - undersized offensive line against a much bigger and stronger SEC defensive line.

Keep going, Falcons.

I didn’t see most of the first quarter, who gets the ball in the second half?

I'm really happy right now. Halftime, in the game. Team calmed down from the early storm and dominated the second. They have something to play for and are in a situation to think "woulda coulda shoulda" rather than "end it already".

I have no delusions of winning this thing. But I'm sure happy about the fight I'm seeing and the coaching. Players are playing maturely out there after the early onslaught.

I think we all expect Tennessee to pull away in the second half, but there are a lot of positives to build on which is exactly what this program needs.

It’s on SEC Network.

That can’t be targeting. Ferguson was pushed into him from behind.

Touchdown, Vols.

That was a little too easy. 8 plays, 72 yards, just over 2 minutes.

Interested to see how we respond here.
