Like Nebraska-Northwestern, this was an eventual blowout. Unlike Nebraska-Northwestern, the blowout victim really never pretended to have a chance. Tennessee's defense showed well -- have you noticed the Vols are up to 10th in Def. F/+ http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/fplus2014? -- but holy smokes, Ole Miss' defense is just on a different level at this point. Put that unit up against Tennessee's offense, and ... yeah.
