That leaves 31 Tennessee points to 31 California points put up the OFFENSE.
Don't get me wrong, I know who won, and I'm not trying to rewrite history or play with statistics. My point is, I think Tennessee didn't do too bad a job of containing the Cal Offense. In fact, they did a very good job of containing Jackson after his 77-yard score.
It was painful to watch at times, but it was an exciting game.

31 points is containing an offense?
I guess it would be if you were Western Kentucky trying to contain Florida... But, the Vols ranked #15? C'mon.
