After the game ended, I was hankering for a cigar.
I followed the game via ESPN Gamecast during my son's doubleheader on a chilly day in central Illinois. So when we got back from Decatur, the game was almost over, and I watched the DVR recording of the game.
Losing Waddle is huge blow to the offense. He does so much, and he's arguably the most explosive player in college football.
Slade Bolden filled in well for him, but he's no Waddle. No one is.
The new ad hoc trio of receivers seems to be Smith, Metchie, and now Bolden. But others, the youngsters will have to step up.
Mac Jones played fantastically. Again.
Najee Harris, Brian Robinson, and Trey Sanders toted the rock admirably.
And the defense got stops.
That's all they need to do: get stops.
Tennessee has a very good offensive line, but I'm still concerned that the Tide is not getting the kind of pash rush we fans have become accustomed to.
Let's hope the offense keeps doing its thing and the defense continues to improve.
