Part 6/7:

With Tennessee set to receive the ball to start the second half, the stage was set for either a comeback or a decisive pull-away by Ohio State. The Buckeyes' ability to stifle the Volunteers’ offensive efforts, paired with their sustained success on offense, created an intriguing dynamic as both teams adjusted strategies.

While Ohio State sought to build on their lead and capitalize on mistakes, Tennessee would need to find a balance between aggressive offense and securing the ball to mount a comeback. The excitement within the Horseshoe would surely continue, with changes in momentum promising an unpredictable second half.
