[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 343309, member: 857"] I just re-watched the Tennessee game, and I really felt our defense played well enough to win the game. Tennessee basically stole the game by (1) not turning the ball over/not committing penalties, (2) capitalizing on two fumbles which are huge in a limited possession game, (3) two missed GT FG's, (4) Our failure to execute properly on the two-point conversion. If they turn the ball even one time, or we fumble one less time, or we make just one of our two FG's, or we pitch the ball on the failed 2-pt conversion, then the game is ours and nobody is talks about the defense. We outgained their arses by a wide margin, we just left points off the board via the two fumbles and two missed FGs. People say we quit being aggressive but that's not what I saw. TN's best play was the screen pass which is expressly designed to take advantage of defenses that are being aggressive. The defense was not lights out, but it did stop TN several times in a game we should have won. Unfortunately we stopped ourselves 4 times via fumbles and missed FGs. During our last drive I was very nervous seeing Taquon cut back inside and not carry with two hands on the ball given the situation. The only way they were stopping us at that point was via turnover. Then JJ did the same thing, and the ball got punched out. I have a hard time faulting those guys given their effort in the whole game, but the ball security needs to be better late in the game when the other team clearly can't stop you any other way.
