Kiffin says misses, mistakes 'hurting us a lot right now'

Lane Kiffin had an offense that couldn't convert on third down.
The Tennessee coach had a defense that failed to create a turnover and repeatedly missed tackles.
But he saved perhaps his harshest criticism for the third phase after the Vols dropped a 26-22 decision to Auburn on Saturday night. UT missed kicks, punts, returners and blocks in another disappointing effort by its special teams, a performance that helped keep the Vols winless in the SEC and send them back to the conference undercard for next week's home date with Georgia "The momentum of missing the field goal on the opening drive and then the extra point, then having a couple long kickoff returns did not help us special teams-wise either," Kiffin said. "I thought we lost in all three phases, which is very disappointing, especially for our SEC home opener."
"We've got to get a lot better on special teams. It's hurting us a lot right now."
"We're making a lot of mistakes week-in and week-out on offense and defense and special teams, so we've just got to tighten it up and learn from our mistakes, which we're not doing right now." The SEC Rocks!
