The Tennessee game was disappointing but there are off days for even the most complete units and it doesn't invalidate everything else they've done. Since then, they've continued to be consistently solid and that's all we could've asked for.
I no longer cringe when we're on defense. They're fun to watch now.

We seem to get exposed for some big thing late in the season when it's too late to adjust. This year, we got exposed early. And that's given us time to fix it. What I love is that Veach addressed that by adding guys like Pennel. And Spags made adjustments Sutton never would. Not just in-game, but long-term ones. For example, the way Spags used Sorensen to address our problem stopping RBs in the passing game was brilliant and completely changed our defense.
