My take is different.
I think Vandy made the adjustments they needed on offense and defense, while we stuck with our starting scheme throughout. Vandy adjusted their offence after the first quarter and adjusted their defense at halftime. Even though Vandy's offense started to have limited success in the second quarter, and we did nothing to take that away. And in the second half their defense adjustments meant out only first down was from a penalty.

Agree. If that wasn't giving up, I don't know what giving up looks like.**

I think the term must-win games is generally over-rated
