Tennessee held marshall to a possible FG attempt on 4th and 5... but wait, flag on the play. Tennessee is called for roughing the passer when our defender was being held and was slung into the QB. No holding call for us and personal foul against us. This put Marshall with a 1st and goal. TD Marshall. Tennessee 9 Marshall 7 with 5:30 left in the 2nd qtr.
Was busy performing moderator tasks when Tennessee scores on a rushing play! That's right gang... Tennessee runs one in for a TD. End of the first half: Tennessee 16 Marshall 7
Marshall got the ball to start the second half and was impressive moving the ball down the field. They stalled and attempted a FG. The kicker had a worse duck hook than I have with a driver. Tennessee's first possession ends in a punt after moving the ball about 20 yards. The punt is downed at the 3 yard line.
Marshall's second possession proved that Marshall can run the ball on Tennessee ala Air Force. However, they fumble a pitch out and turn it over at the Tennessee 40 yard line. 1st and 10... Tennessee!
Tennessee returns the favor with a tipped pass that is intercepted. Marshall has the ball at the Tennessee 45 with 14 minutes left in the 4th qtr. Nobody wants to score in the 2nd half.
Tennessee holds Marshal to 3 and out. Marshall punts and downs it at the Tennessee 11 yard line. First play from scrimmage, Lamarcus Coker takes it up the middle for an 89 yard running TD. Tennessee 23 Marshall 7 with 12:30 left in the game.
Tennessee goes up by a score of 26 to 7 with only 5:20 left. The second squall line is very close. Run the ball and run out the clock! NOW!!!
Crompton enters the game for Tennesse at QB with 4 minutes left in the game. Tennessee is running out the clock with the run. So far, three runs have us at the Marshall 12 yard line
Not a single pass play in this entire last drive. All running takes the ball into the end zone. TD Tennessee! Tennessee 33 Marshall 7 with 23 seconds left.
The amazing part of the final score is that Tennessee covered the 22 point spread! :shock: Final score: Tennessee 33 Marshall 7
Good damn thing they did!! I'm in that Yahoo pick'em contest and you have to pick against the spread. UGA killed me because Col had like 30 points, I didn't think they'd even score against the Dawgs and surely figured that being at home and the Buffs being truly pathetic so far this year that Richt would hang 40 or 50 on them.
Terry, What would make you think Richts offense would click? It hasn't in 5 years, why all of a sudden today? We score with defense and a short field. You would have to be nuts to give double digits with Richt as OC.
:?: TB, How happy are the Georgia fans with Richt? It seems that they usually win, but the team seems to underperform in relation to the amount of talent on hand. Are the natives getting restless? ................JO'Co
JO'Co, They love him here in Georgia. I like him also, I just hate his offense. It's a gimmick. It's all finese. Looks like we're stuck with it.
