WHAT WAS GAME PLAN
We put in new defense we haven't had
Went from even to odd front to try to have overhangs to help with quick throws
They tried them on quick game, it didn't work, they went away from it
Credit to UT for adjusting
DO YOU FEEL THIS TEAM WAS WORN DOWN?
Yeah, sure we were worn down but everyone is
The ability to push throw injuries matters
The whole team was banged up
They were up early and had to hold momentum
They have to fight and keep going
This team was built on people that win
WHAT WAS DIFFICULT ABOUT SAMPSON/NICO COMBO
Sometimes they did a good job, sometimes they didn't
Needed off-schedule plays
Sampson did a good job of keeping them on schedule
When they got them off schedule they got off the field
BOWL GAME
It shows what this team is
Yeah, sure, we dropped some on the back half but we fight
They have a chance to clean it up now
They are thankful they don't go out on today
HOW MUCH DOES THIS HURT TO LOSE TO TN
I hate to lose, especially those guys
We don't like each other
Game got chippy
Losing sucks
And it especially sucks to lose to them
THIS TIME LAST YEAR VS. THIS YEAR
Totally different team
Last year they had internal problems/conflict/fighting among teammates
They weeded that out in the offseason
You won't see many guys on this team with problems
They'll be ready to attack bowl game and offseason
They'll build off the good
DID THEY WEAR YOU DOWN?
They do a good job of that
It was more they struggled on third downs as they have a lot
Today TN did a good job of staying on schedule
