'Win, anyway': Short-field success

  • http://tennessee.247sports.com/Article/Win-anyway-Tennessee-defense-enjoying-short-field-success-42948

    Two words — 'Win, anyway' — have become a mantra for Tennessee's defense in sudden-change, short-field situations. And the Vols are thriving in those situations.

  • Good article. I think this defense has surprised a great many people, me included. They really seem to get a little better every week. Let's hope that improvement is enough against the Dawg's.

  • Except for the few busted plays and the first drive by Florida, I think the defense has looked pretty good. Especially in short yardage situations. We'll see Saturday if they can keep it up.

    I agree. I've been impressed with the D this year. They won the games that were easy and were pretty stingy against some decent offenses (Florida & Cincinnati). It was the D who kept the Florida game close. They're looking good.

  • I hope they keep Crowell in check this weekend. We need to force Murray to throw and (hopefully) make mistakes.

    Hope Wilcox & Co. are doing some brilliant scheming!

    Stopping play action will be crucial for the Vols. Getting pressure and keeping contain is what they will have to do defensively in this game. In my opinion.
