Right from the opening kickoff, the Tennessee Volunteers took control of the football game against the LSU Tigers recovering a muffed Jack Bech kickoff return and then quickly scoring on a Jabari Small touchdown run giving the Volunteers a early 7-0 lead. From that point on, it was all Tennessee.
LSU’s special teams once again put the home team in a bind as Dee Williams had a 59 yard punt return that set up a Chase McGrath field goal to give the Volunteers a 10-0 lead just four minutes into the game. Tennessee would push its lead to 20 points, but LSU would try to cut the deficit after the Tigers had a one yard touchdown run from Josh Williams to make it a 20-7 game. After a missed field goal by McGrath, LSU had some life, but the Tigers offense would go for it on fourth down from their own 47 yard line and ended up not converting with 23 seconds left to go before halftime.The Volunteers offense quickly went down the field and added three more points before halftime taking a 23-7 lead at the break.
In the first half, LSU’s special teams miscues and three unsuccessful fourth down conversions all played a role in giving the Volunteers 23 points. The two big special teams plays contributed to ten points while 13 points were contributed to the Volunteers putting their offense in good positions after the three fourth down stops.
“We got behind by 10 and couldn’t match possessions at that time. We were within the analytical numbers too so I was keeping an eye on where we were from that position. Once you get behind against a team like that, you’re listening both to those and your opportunities to score, so it felt like I needed to.”
LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly on decision to go for it on fourth down three times in the first half
The Volunteers did not need much help in the second half outgaining LSU 246 yards to 137 while outscoring the Tigers 17-6 in the process.
Hendon Hooker continues his Heisman Trophy campaign with another efficient day on the road in a hostile environment. The veteran Volunteers quarterback completed 17 of 27 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with his two favorite receivers often as Britt McCoy had seven catches for 140 yards and Jalin Hyatt had both touchdown grabs in the football game for Tennessee.
The Volunteers were also able to run the football at will against a really good LSU defensive front with 263 rushing yards led by Jabari Small, who had 127 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries.
LSU’s offense had promising drives in the first half, but the Tigers left points on the scoreboard when failing on a fourth down and three inside the ten yard line. The Tigers did have a 96 yard scoring drive in the first half to narrow the gap at 20-7, but that was as close as it got for them. Jayden Daniels ended the game completing 32 of 45 passes for 300 yards and a touchdown with the touchdown pass going to Kayshon Boutte towards the end of the football game. It was Boutte’s first touchdown reception of the season. Daniels was pressured all game long as he was sacked five times in the contest with 2.5 sacks coming from Tennessee’s standout pass rusher Byron Young. Losing Will Campbell before the game and Garrett Dellinger during the game really hurt the protection up front.
“Will Campbell, in our walkthrough, had an episode, and we really didn’t know what it was. He’s had a battery of tests; they’ve ruled out virtually life-threatening, serious medical situations. He’s still going to have a couple of more tests done before he’s released, so that’s a positive thing. I don’t know if that’s the only thing, but certainly, that affected our team.”
“Garrett Dellinger took a blow to the knee. It’s a knee strain. We’ll get an MRI; he had a knee brace on and that’s the good news. We’ll get an MRI and have more information for you in the next press conference.”
LSU head coach Brian Kelly on Will Campbell and Garrett Dellinger
The Volunteers would end the game the exact way they started with a turnover intercepting Daniels for the first time this season and then proceeding to run out the remainder of the clock.
Overall, Tennessee outgained LSU 502 yards to 355 in the football game and prevented the Tigers from having any sort of life throughout the entire contest as Tiger Stadium was full of Volunteer fans at the end of the football game.
Tennessee keeps its undefeated season alive improving to 5-0 and will look forward to a big time matchup at home against number one Alabama.
Meanwhile, it was a very disappointing result for the LSU Tigers as the loss drops their record to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in SEC play. Next week, LSU travels on the road to take on the 4-2 Florida Gators.
“Well, that was not what we planned or expected. We expected to play much better than that. Certainly, when you fumble the opening kickoff and give an extra possession to a team that plays fast and loves extra possessions, and spot them 10 points on special teams, you put yourself in a huge hole. That’s what we did. And then, our details were not very good. I could stand up here all day-that falls on coaching. That’s on me, and I have to coach better. We’ve got to coach better, we’ve got to coach our team better.”
