in response to cloudodust:

1) Tennessee didn't play their defensive assignments re: containment on the edges. 3-4, 4-3, 6-2. It wouldn't have mattered. The edges were continuously sucked in...2) The lack of speed is obvious on the defensive side when a broken field situation arose either up the middle or on the edges.. Speed kills and Tennessee got kilt a few too many times...Will the next guy stay with the 3-4 or not. If so or not isn't the issue. The right people for whatever D is 'To Be' needs the right players to make it happen...

dust, you have it right. Football speed and track speed are to different animals. Ball speed includes getting in your cover position. Running a open field runner down is something else and a different kind of speed. Yes I played football and ran track. To catch an open field runner once he is in the clear is really hard.
