Any win over Tennessee is a great win.
SEC Final said some things I didn't think of. First, we had some screw-ups in the defensive backfield, but for the most part we got that corrected. Yes, Josh got caught looking for calls or something on that last one, but we survived it. Devonta Smith did the same thing to LSU in the 2019 game.
We also held Tennessee way under their scoring average, and took away what they normally do best which is run the ball. Hooker is not a bad QB, and until that interception he was pretty accurate with his passes.
I wonder if CNS was aggravated with the fans for lighting up early. I don't think so, as he seemed really happy for the fans.
Last, as CNS said, yeah, we had some mental lapses but we'll get them fixed. Right now we're going to enjoy this win. Roll Tide
