I have no idea how much of this is Nuss. It looked to me that TN adjusted, which I feared would happen. Gators lined up a scheme that worked for Appleby, which made him look much better than he ever has. He had plenty of time, and just about every throw was a safe one. By the second half TN was bringing in the kitchen sink, and Appleby had no time at all. I am guessing he isn't good enough to check off and adjust to what the defense is doing.
However, bitch about Nuss or Appleby or whoever all you want, we gave up 35 points in the second half. We never expected this offense would be consistently great, but it was assumed the D would not give up 35 pts whatever happened.
