Offensive line test

[1standgoal]

Missouri is the number one team in the SEC in sacks. The Vols' offensive line will be challenged to respond. Dobbs' ability to scramble is, hopefully, the difference maker. And concerning sacks, TN is a respectable 4th in the conference.

i agree but on the flip side they should worry about our pass rush as well . we are right up there in sacks and number 1 in the SEC(5th in the country) in TFLs and top 20 in the country in sacks. Both defenses are about the same. Their offense is worse than ours but i agree the difference is how we protect the QB. Their aggressiveness can also be used against them.

I think your right OP. Dobbs is the difference. A little Dobbs a do ya!
Lol

Serious question. Did most of their sacks come in conference or out? And against which teams if in conference. Just for comparison for level of off line they played against versus Bama/etc/other sack leaders

Sounds like a nice little project for you to get started on!

Run a a lot if 2 TE set to chip the speed rushers.. It helps

Looks like a major test for this iffy OL.

Good catch, but I messed up on one game; they had 3 sacks against KY.

 

[omghulkhands]

Towles is the only other QB they have played that is a true running threat. Dobbs should be a good wrench against that defense and its strength.

All I wanna know is: Who's Mauk's backup, 'cause between Messrs. Barnett, Maggitt, and Reeves-Maybin, we might get to see him on Saturday.

Good job editing, but a few of those are still wrong from what I've seen. Still, point is valid.

This is as much of a test of our offensive coordinator as it is our O line.

Air Dobbs will need to work on a 2.2 drop back and throw to avoid sackage.
