    How many combined games did those guys start for those teams?

    I fully agree, but even great teams can sleepwalk every now and again. Friggin’ 2001 Miami got all they wanted from Boston College

    Postgame win expectancy: 74%.

    (Postgame win actuality: 100%.)

    We ain’t doing this with smoke and mirrors and good fortune.

    You have to score every possession or you lose to this team. That's a lot of pressure

    A lot like the 2022 LSU team. They made opponents do things they usually wouldn't do to try and keep up.

    And no other team we play has Bryce Young running out of that tunnel.

    Save KY, they have HoF QB Levis.

    Only reason this came down to the end was because bama got the last full possession of the half and the scoop and score. This was not a fluke. On the contrary, alabama got some good breaks.

    I guarantee, kentucky is going to try to control time of possession. Unless our offense shows up completely inept, we'll beat them by at least 3 touchdowns. I'm calling it now.

    So, after calming down some

    This win just won over a new generation of Vol fans. My kids are starting to make fun of kids cheering for other schools, they were sitting in silence or nervously pacing right beside me.

    They're noticing players and wanting specific jerseys. They're all wanting to wear Tennessee swag to school Monday.

    Dixieland Delight is Tennessee's song again.

    This win is setting Tennessee up for years to come.

    It's a special group of players and coaches that make teams like this happen. Tennessee isn't in the top 10 schools talent wise in the country. With that being said, Hendon Hooker is special, Jeremy Banks is a leader of the defense and the school President is saying he'll buy goal posts every year while he smokes a cigar.

    Everyone is pulling in the same direction on the Hill and it's a special place again

    [uck fay] Kentucky, Tennessee had the ball for 12 minutes last year and beat them

    I saw someone use the term "watershed moment" when describing this win. Couldn't agree more.

    And 4 extra points from a terrible PI call. And that even assumes that they would have made the field goal, which obviously wasn’t a given.

    Hard to do top control when the run is getting stuffed. One of the big differences from last year.

    Thomas, Eason, Simmons, Baron and Bailey are doing the Lord's work on the interior dline. They aren't going to get the publicity they deserve but they let Banks, Mitchell and Beasley get all those tackles for loss

    Hopefully get McCullough back. Slaughter didn’t have a good game and we ended up playing a walkon on bamas last drive.

    They’ll shorten the game and hope we lose a couple fumbles—basically how Pitt played the second half, but with a better QB. It probably won’t work, but it’s their best chance.

    Yeah, but don't you feel our DL is better this year? I don't think their ground game is going to be as productive as they want.

    yes I just can’t believe this is happened and waiting for ball to drop.
