Beauty: The Vols, For Once, Had It

If you were ever to ask me the most beautiful thing a football team can do with the ball, it is this:

  • (1st and 10) TENNESSEE drive start at 08:10.
  • (1st and 10) Lennon Creer rush for 10 yards to the MS41, 1ST DOWN UT (Cortez McCraney;Sean Ferguson).
  • (1st and 10) Lennon Creer rush for 2 yards to the MS39 (Karlin Brown;Dominic Douglas).
  • (2nd and 8) Lennon Creer rush for 10 yards to the MS29, 1ST DOWN UT (Zach Smith).
  • (1st and 10) Lennon Creer rush for 4 yards to the MS25 (Tim Bailey).
  • (2nd and 6) Lennon Creer rush for 4 yards to the MS21 (Zach Smith;Jasper O'Quinn).
  • (3rd and 2) Timeout Mississippi State, clock 05:26.
  • (3rd and 2) Lennon Creer rush for 3 yards to the MS18, 1ST DOWN UT (Zach Smith).
  • (1st and 10) Lennon Creer rush for 6 yards to the MS12 (Zach Smith).
  • (2nd and 4) Timeout Mississippi State, clock 04:47.
  • (2nd and 4) Lennon Creer rush for 1 yard to the MS11 (Karlin Brown).
  • (3rd and 3) Timeout Mississippi State, clock 04:38.
  • (3rd and 3) Lennon Creer rush for 9 yards to the MS2, 1ST DOWN UT (Zach Smith;Dominic Douglas).
  • (1st and 0) Lennon Creer rush for 1 yard to the MS1 (K.J. Wright;Terrell Johnson).
  • (2nd and 0) Lennon Creer rush for no gain to the MS1 (Terrell Johnson).
  • (3rd and 0) Lennon Creer rush for 1 yard to the MS0, TOUCHDOWN, clock 02:39.
  • (1st and 0) Daniel Lincoln kick attempt good.

(Taken from the play-by-play at NCAA.com.)

Translation:  We're running the ball.  We're running it straight down the middle.  We know it.  You know it.  You're not stopping it.

That drive was either exclusively up-the-middle running, or it was very close.  It lasted nearly 6 minutes, burned up 3 MSU timeouts, while merely covering 51 yards (it could have kept going for more if the end zone hadn't gotten in the way).

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
