We outrushed, outpassed and outscored UGA on that day. A fluky turnover and a bogus waived flag kept it close for you.

and you won the game, fair and square. But despite what you think turnovers do count. As do special teams. Those are things that don't inflate the box score but it's still scoring points, which is ultimately what you're trying to do.

Let's also remember that what helped UT storm back at the end of the first half was a sony fumble in our own territory. Does that count?

Congrats? I'm shocked it was as close as it was after losing Chubb on the first offensive play of the game. I'm fairly certain that if you take the best player off of any team at the beginning, they won't play at their best.

Just to touch on this again, it's amazing how Tennessee fans are quick to call that play fluky but that the kickoff fumble near our own endzone at the end of the first half which essentially changed the entire flow of the game back is not at all fluky.

Congrats on not being a dumpster fire this year. The real question, is can you do it next year from start to finish? If you fail to win the east next season, are you still pleased with the job that Butch has done?
