Halftime Report: Defensive woes














First Half Thoughts: Man oh man did they trash our defense. We looked foolish out there and I was embarrassed. But now I think our D is finally starting to catch on, and it showed in the final two drives when we made them three-and-out both times. Darron Thomas looks alright, not great, but he's doing well for playing in Neyland with all the noise and whatnot.  He's made a few overthrows but nothing horrible. The receivers have been dropping passes left and right though, and that's unacceptable!

Second Half Outlook: The D will continue to let the short passes slip through, but that's the Duck's game: ignore the small gains and focus on eliminating the large ones. If the run D can show up then I think we should be alright. This is Oregon people, the burners will turn on eventually.

Adjusted Final Score: Oregon 34, Tennessee 23
