First off, I totally underestimated App State, particularly on defense, They are pretty quick up front.
But, with that being said, this offensive line has to play better, period. I can remember of Dobbs' 18 attempts when he wasn't under duress. They just aren't getting it done, and what is particularly worrisome is that the pressure is coming from the interior of the line, the part you felt best about coming into the night.
Now, Dobbs has to be smarter than he was on that interception. Gave away a chance at three points.
I thought Tennessee did a good job keeping App State off balance on that first drive, but since then App State's pressure has really dictated what Tennessee can do.
Defensively, hard not to be disappointed with the defensive line, giving up 82 rushing yards and just three tackles for loss.
We'll see what adjustments they make at halftime.
