Kirby has completely imprinted his style on that side of the ball with waves of front seven wreckers and a secondary that contests everything. they're smart, too, and contain explosives while still mixing up different pressure looks.

their quarterback...is OK. he can beat all the mid-tier SEC teams but he doesn't have any field stretching ability and eats off play-action, in-between the hashes and dump-offs. their backs get a lot of YAC but their receivers are pretty average outside that freshman TE, who looks like another Kyle Pitts.

I don't trust Kirby to make the best in-game calls, though. the two times he went for it on fourth down in the first half were not very good -- the first time, they were on their side of the 50 and Tennessee had gained like 20 total yards. the goal-line call was fine, but the wrong running back and the wrong play.
