All the Pictures from the day's games
(thanks to Lindsay for taking the pictures)

I asked Moose to take a few notes on who scored and whatnot, but he did a play by play. Since he did the work I don't see how I can't put it all here, so here, word for word, are the Notes According to Moose:

Performance Art.

0 - GA kicks off, TN has solid kick return past midfield.
1 - Penalty on GA, TN drives to 5m
2 - Penalty on GA, TN scores after a couple hammers off the penalty play. Makes conversion. 7-0, TN.
4 - GA turns ball over after a failed runback from a TN kick. Kevin ran wide and got stopped before he could gain any distance.
5 - GA's first lineout stolen, throw too far away from jumper

7 - GA's second lineout bobbled by jumper, Brian recovers.
8 - First scrum, GA really weak on engage, tried to just fall into and got pushed back on contact.

A lot of play in midfield, small drives ended by penalties.

15 - GA recovers TN turnover but turns it back a few seconds later.
17 - Several missed tackles result in a 10-15 meter TN run and score. Makes kick. 14-0, TN.
20 - TN drives, goes through hands, is a man up on the wing but knocks it on.
21 - GA's third lineout, bobbled and stolen. TN runs thorough several tackles, getting about 10 meters farther than he should.

The Scot Sets it

23 - GA's fourth lineout, ball throw towards TN and steal again.
27 - TN has the ball on GA's 5, GA wins the scrum but there's a high tackle on Tom before he can punt it so GA gets the penalty.
30 - TN wins their lineout picture perfect, gets stopped up on the wing trying to go through hands. Charles (Forward) makes a vicious hit on one of TN's centers.
38 - TN drives to GA 5, then off a ruck the scrummie carries weak then switches inside to a forward crash for the try. Missed conversion, halftime score 19-0, TN.

41 - TN kicks to GA, Chris recovers. TN dives over the ruck for a GA penalty.
42 - Ball goes out to the TN backs, we chase and stuff them. Charles (Back) misses a hit but gets support so we bring him down.
45 - TN runs 25 meters down the line, popping between forwards. Brought down at the 7m where a dirty ruck results in some pushing and stoppage of play.
48 - GA kicks the ball out on a penalty, the lineout is stolen and run back for a quick try after a few

crashes. Makes conversion 26-0, TN.
51 - GA lineout underthrown and stolen.
55 - TN runs through several tackles, sprints down the side, pushed out. Comes back and sneaks weak side off a scrum. Scores, makes conversion. 33-0, TN.
62 - TN drives back down, long springs through holes in the back. TN scores. Makes kick, 40-0, TN.
72 - TN keeps driving through, GA's not hitting rucks at all. Personnel change, Charles out, Josh in.
80 - GA lineout tipped and stolen by TN.

Looks nice, doesn't it? Then I won't mention that Trevor knocks it on.

[Editor's note: Tennessee had the score as 38-0, so I assume one of the kicks that is listed as made was actually missed]
