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.

Don't have touches in front of me, but appeared that the 'containment' was more of Cals Offense doing other things. UT's D did OK, but some special players were on the field. One screen pass in the third quarter comes to mind.

I'm optimistic by what I saw of UT. Barring injuries, or run-ins with the law, might be a good year.
