I am really liking Matt Wyatt's film breakdowns. Check out his breakdown of Tennessee's win over Auburn last week. Gives a few things to look for in the coming game and maybe down the road against AU.
Initial thoughts are that there were not a lot of blown coverage on the outside for Auburn. Their receivers made a lot of really great catches. Our DB's are going to have to "out-athlete" these guys and win those 50/50 balls when Guaratano throws them.
The AU LB's did not play a good game. Twice in this breakdown alone they gave up chunk yardage, the first because they weren't aggressive and got caught up in the wash of a run play and the next time because of an assignment bust. Hoping Mack and Dylan carry over their discipline from last week.
Neither team has a good offensive line. The difference in this game was likely that Guaratano just let it fly and took a shot and Stidham held the ball for too long and was reluctant to let it go. His bad decision making likely cost them that game.
Tennessee's defense, while not amazing, is playing more aggressive and passionate football because of Jeremy Pruitt. That DB blowing up the stupid Gus trick play looked like a vintage Pruitt play call. His guy came flying in there and whooped the blocker and then forced Stidham into a stupid throw. I expect some salt from their defense early on, but likely not enough to even blunt our attack if Tua is in.
What did you see? What will you be looking for come Saturday?
