Games like the 44-21 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs leave viewers with...complicated emotions.
Which part of the game do we put more stock into? The first two quarters, where the Tennessee Volunteers looked like they had the ability to compete for the SEC East? Or the final two quarters, where they looked like they were still at least a couple more years from being a genuine contender?
I think the game highlighted the deficiencies on both sides of the ball—but in very different ways. The defense undoubtedly played better than the offense for most of the game.
