If you go back and review the UT game, after getting out to a big lead Sumlin did the worse thing you can do against UT. He got conservative and shut down their offense to burn clock. TAMU is better than the team that played UT. They have had 2 weeks to learn how to tackle too (worse tackling I've ever seen). We are easily good to beat the 19 point line but I think it will be closer that that.

Myles Garrett was out most of the game and the guy that missed all of the tackles had an upper torso injury and best he could hope for was to slow someone down. They are both healthy now so hopefully tackling will be improved

Yup.

A lot of that was by design, just fyi. Film study coming in indicated that the Vols had a propensity for fumbling, so a lot of our tackle attempts were actually going for strips. Worked pretty well.
