Our OL on offense and every position group on defense severely limit in game adjustments. I actually thought it was Helton's best of the year, but you can't have 7 discipline penalties. On defense, you can't adjust once they exploit your weakness unless you have the personnel to reinforce without exposing other weakness. We don't. I do agree that there is plenty of coaching opportunity, including fundamentals and discipline, but this was basically a personnel loss.
I disagree. The losses to Alabama, Georgia, Florida and West Virginia were personnel losses. This was the first one that Tennessee could've won, perhaps should've won, and didn't. That's why this one stings more than any of the others.
