The Tennessee defense played pretty darn well last Saturday against the second ranked Georgia Bulldogs. A turnover from Jeremy Banks and several lucky Georgia bounces (I mean really, how do you fumble four times and not lose any of them) assisted the Bulldogs’ offense on a day where they pretty clearly were not at their best.
Bottomline — the Tennessee defense certainly did their part. Darrell Taylor was firing off the edge and the Vols’ young secondary held up really well. Jeremy Pruitt praised them after the game, calling it their best effort to date.
