Saturday was a hard, cold dose of reality. UF whipped us in the trenches and it's probably going to happen more times this season. I expected it, but was glad to see the Vols fight it out to the end. We, as fans, just have to be patient and wait for better times. RECRUIT DEREK RECRUIT.
After the first quarter (and even in the first quarter) our DL more than held their own against the UF OL. When they lined up and try to run it at us we stuffed them. J. Smith and M. Jackson played well. Hood played well and showed some good instincts but didn't execute well, at times. I rarely notice Couch when he is in but he is probably the reason that Jackson is being disruptive because he takes up space and blockers. Our DEs are an area were we need to improve. J. Smith bings it every game and was very active Saturday. Bohannon had a good game Saturday but in my view needs to be more consistent. The other DEs need to step up IMO. Maggitt is probably our 3rd best DE right now (in passing situations).
