I don't know that they shut down the Ten run game as much as they just kept them off the field. SD dominated the time of possession 36 minutes to 23. It forced Tennessee to get away from their own identity. Mariota threw the ball 43 times and the RB's ran the ball 16 times. SD was up 33-21 in the 3rd Q.
