Got to agree with Loco. When you have 200 yards of offense in the first half and only 44 in the second half, you haven't matched the defense's adjustments after the intermission. We only passed when we had to and we did not try to stretch the field at all in the second half. Plus, we did a horrible job of pass protection in the second half. Hats off to UT. They took it to us in the second half and just plain wore us out.
No, that just assured that when Tennessee got its last possession, they had the option to play for the field goal and OT. Had we been up by 6 instead of 3, they'd have gone for the win and we would have been powerless to stop them.
If we kick that FG then we lose in regulation not OT is what he was trying to say. They would've converted that 4th and 2.
