Pretty unreal TN had the two National Chamionship game teams Bama and OU both BEAT in the 4th quarter last season.

Our defense crumbled against OU and was really to blame for all of our losses minus the Bama game where they played lights out (defense suffered preseason losses and then Maggitt in the OU game). The narrative has been to blame the offense but really it's our secondary that fricked up those games. They were supposed to be a good unit but they let us down in critical situations more than once. Those close games and defensive collapses are what cost Jancek his job despite him being a good but not great DC. That said, it also makes the Shoop hire a great one that could pay huge dividends this year.
