Mike BajakianKNOXVILLE — Tennessee’s young football team likely took plenty of lessons from its first road trip at Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago.
One of those might have been more of a rehash of old material.
In their five road games against ranked teams the past two seasons, the Volunteers were doomed by 15 turnovers, including three against the Sooners, and carry a minus-9 turnover margin into Saturday’s trip to No. 12 Georgia.
“I don’t know if Oklahoma needs to remind us of that,” offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian said after Wednesday’s practice, “but any time home, away, SEC, nonconference opponent — you can’t have critical mistakes in critical situations.”
Of Tennessee’s three giveaways against the Sooners, one set up an Oklahoma touchdown, another was an interception in the end zone and the last one was an interception return touchdown.
