Mr. Thorson is not only pretty friggin' funny on Twitter as well as a great punter but obviously put the time in over in Australia to play their version of football. I mean do we now have him leading the angle tackling drills in practice? That was textbook, a huge play in the game, and then he put a little extra into the Vol he had just splattered. That was just the perfect synopsis of how all 3 phases came to play last night.

Home games matter in the SEC. Several of us on the Vent kept saying it to the naysayers. Tennessee had barely left Knoxville and the Dawgs hadn't seen Sanford in forever. And at night???? LSU's Death Valley should no longer be considered the toughest place to win at night. I believe the Dawgs haven't lost a night game in Athens since 2009.

The O-line was beautiful in pass protection. That was truly a long lost and welcome sight. Run blocking still leaves a lot to be desired but at least we can hang our hats on being good at one of them. (altered cadence helped)

I'm a huge fan in Carson Beck. Was during his struggles, still am today. LAST NIGHT was why you don't bench your starting QB when he goes through a bad stretch. That position is different. We had a ton of people asking for a benching or to sit out several series in games. No. Absolutely not. Kirby has done an outstanding job handling him. I'm ready for some receipt threads.

Speaking of Kirby, he was at his calmest when we were down and was most fired up when we were up. Togwo Would CALL THAT Coaching 101.

My funniest complaint last night that was audible to my wife was, "Why do we recruit receivers with nubs as hands?" Sigh. At least we cut back on the drops.

Loved seeing Chauncy get snaps as well as Nitro and Sacovie. Keep fitting them in, please!

Delp is back. And hello, Monroe Freeling.

I still don't know what a pass interference is and isn't. On a game to game basis, I am consistently confused by the inconsistency.

Smael, everyone. The defense is swarming once again. And was the change from Humphrey to Harris permanent or did Humphrey get back in there regularly?

Since 2021, Tennessee has scored 10, 3, 7, and 10 points in the first quarter vs. the Dawgs. Then the Dawgs have outscored them 106-27 over the next 3 quarters.

Since the Vols last beat the Dawgs on a lucky prayer in '16, it's Georgia 303, Tennessee 104 in points.

Dawgs are 19-6 vs. the Vols since Y2K.

Screw the SEC championship game. Let's get healthy and ready for the playoff. We need the rest in a big way.
