The film crew and, more specifically, the video editors, are always careful with how much they reveal during these videos. There’s plenty of abrupt cuts, some balls in the air, a celebration here and there along with very few, if any, full plays.
But I didn’t have too much happening tonight, so I watched at a reduced speed for some details I would have otherwise missed.
Here’s what I saw.
19 seconds: A Joe Milton deep-ball DIME to newbie JaVonta Payton.
20 seconds: Jeremy Banks and Juwan Mitchell gang tackling Jabari Small. Mitchell looks more like a safety than a linebacker.
21 seconds: Another tackle by Banks (I think?) with a sorta-kinda assist from sophomore DB (from Memphis) Tamarion McDonald.
22 seconds: Trevon Flowers getting his hand in for a deflection on a ball intended for Jalin Hyatt.
22 seconds: Sophomore DB Doneiko Slaughter making a tackle and almost nearly maybe causing a fumble with Juwan Mitchell on the assist.
23 seconds: Heupel looking at the ground, and also maybe pondering to himself “what have I gotten myself into here?”
25 seconds: Jaylen Wright running real fast.
29 seconds: Alontae Taylor tackle. I’d be really happy for a rebound season from Tae Tay.
30 seconds: Harrison Bailey running. I think this is one of just two appearances for Bailey.
31 seconds: Joe Milton with a high throw to Cedric Tillman. The ball initially gets through Tillman’s hands but he hangs on.
33 seconds: Milton throws a rope to senior TE Princeton Fant.
34 seconds: Jaylen Wright goes truck stick on Flowers.
35 seconds: Milton a bit low on a throw to Tillman.
36 seconds: A carry for RS freshman Tee Hodge (from Maryville).
37 seconds: Jaylen McCollough with hit on Tiyon Evans that caused a fumble.
41 seconds: Theo Jackson getting a last-second hand on a pass intended for who I think is freshman goliath TE Trinity Bell. My goodness he’s big — every bit of 6-7, and I’d say his reach is wider than a previously-reported 6-9.
The last play: Maybe a little read option with Milton and Jaylen Wright. Wright makes a slick Arian Foster-ish cut at the line of scrimmage and then Chris Berman voice WHOOPS poor McCollough out of his cleats en route to a touchdown. Wright gave junior CB Warren Burrell the business at the goal line, too.
