Overall
Tennessee didn’t play their best football on Saturday, but they didn’t need to in order to win what was essentially a tune-up for Florida. The Vols used this game to work on some things on both sides of the ball, and they got some playing time for some younger, inexperienced players. Overall, the day was a success for the Vols, and they move on to Florida this week.

It looked like a B performance all around, it seemed you WR/TE and D-line grades were a little low. Fewer drop (maybe 2) and none by the TE’s. WR bailed out average throws by the QB’s (Palmer’s catch on RPO, that should have been a TD catch and both of Johnson and Calloway TD catches) Even George’s drop on GITMO’s second quarter deep attempt was an underthrown ball to a WR who was behind the defender.
The D-line didn’t rack up many stats but three come to mind, they gave up one TD drive of 44 yards, gave up a long run of 13 yards, and 10 of ISU 13 possessions were 4 plays or less. It doesn’t matter how you are playing a team can create stats like that with average D-line play. I didn’t even mention 3rd down conversions.
Go big Orange and keep up the good work
