As a team, Tennessee checked pretty much all the boxes it was supposed to this past Saturday in the 69-3 blow-out win against the Mocs. There was obviously a clear difference in talent between the two squads, so this sort of win was to be expected. But the Vols’, playing with less than a full deck of cards in terms of what they showed playbook-wise, offensively and defensively, displayed an efficiency on offense and a stoutness on defense that put on more steam for the Tennessee hype train.
Nico’s performance ignited the flames of his potential and the offensive production potential of the team. Making the most of his time on the field, he played half of the game and set a school record for yards in a half. One of the assets he brings to the table that have, for the most part, been lacking since Hendon Hooker’s tenure at QB is the ability to improvise, process information quickly despite unaccounted for or unsuspected occurrences during the play. On the offense’s first play, we caught a peek of that capacity.
