The Tennessee Vols' offense is known for the splash plays it creates on a regular basis.
Many of wide receiver Jalin Hyatt's 14 touchdown receptions this season have come on plays longer than 20 yards.
Tennessee, however, isn't just an "air it out" team. They can be physical, too.
And the Vols showed that on Saturday night against Kentucky via some tough runs.
Two runs, in particular, stood out to me in Tennessee's 44-6 win over the Wildcats.
The first was a rush by running back Jaylen Wright. The Durham, NC native bounced off several defenders to pick up some tough extra yards.
That play was followed by quarterback Hendon Hooker keeping the ball on an option play and fighting his way into the end zone for the score.
Here are the two plays back to back:
This Tennessee offense is much more physical and balanced than folks realize.
The Vols had 422 total yards of offense against the Wildcats on Saturday night. 245 of those yards were passing yards while 177 yards came on the ground.
I'd say that's pretty balanced.
Tennessee's offense can beat teams in a lot of different ways. That's something teams in the SEC are quickly learning this season.
