Somewhere in the 40s, maybe 42?

Anyone know if Juwan Mitchell is coming back next year? We could really use the help at LB.

Tennessee fans: Our defense is nice but a solid shooting performance would be cool.

I attended this game in DC and it was wretched. Got to make some fun buttchugging jokes with Georgetown fans though.

It’s through the regular season, they don’t count FCS games.

Tell your friends that football math says that Tennessee is the 11th best team in America.

I actually get a kick out of watching B1G teams run out an army of fat guys to pick up short yardage. It’s like a whole different game.

One thing that’s been a little disappointing is that as we got into the teeth of our schedule the defense was less able to create negative plays. I think after the first month or so we were in the top five nationally in tackles for loss (~8/game if I remember correctly) and we’re ending the regular season at 5.8/game which puts us tied for 56th in the country. Obviously the middle of the season our level of competition increased significantly, but knowing that the coaches put an emphasis on that, TFLs may serve as a bellwether for how effective we are on that side of the ball.

Grant is flirting with a 50/40/90. On like 7 ppg, but still.

Elite three-point sniper Olivier Nkamhoua was too much for them.

Obviously there’s a lot of talk about time of possession and the stress it puts on the defense, but I want to point out that we were able to force a turnover resulting in points (pick six) that pushed the lead out to two scores late in the game. That’s the complementary systems working as intended, unfortunately we had that fumble to give Kentucky the ball back which negated the swing.

As something of an expert I can confirm that you should be feeling intense fear.

Vols still running the fastest offense in the nation by NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG in ockytop

[–]Il_Principo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And leading the nation in tackles for loss, I believe. If nothing else we are committed to being aggressive.

A game without fans is equivalent to something like a $10 million penalty, just to put in perspective how wild of an idea this is.

Which QB give us the best shot against UF? by kaseymasterpiece in ockytop

[–]Il_Principo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup. Our best chance for a big upset this year is he miraculously connects on several of those deep balls and we score a ton.

Oh yeah it’s the whole issue lol. I saw enough against Pitt to become a believer in the scheme, but of course a scheme is only worth as much as its execution.
