TN has the QB advantage against MO

[1standgoal]

So far this season, Joshua Dobbs has a QBR of 147.9 compared to Maty Mauk's 118.6. Looks pretty good for the Big Orange this weekend.

How is Maty's QBR so high? I thought their offense was turrible.

They have played a horrible schedule.. when you look at his stats vs like opponents. It takes a nose dive that a kamikaze pilot would be jealous of.

They beat Florida and UT didn't.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

They beat Florida and UT didn't.

And lost at home to Indiana

Got shutout by UGA without gurley at home

The fla win was bc their defense. Offense had 119 total yards.

This is the most random season I can remember in a while. It's almost impossible to predict....which I guess is why I tume in every week to see who gets "upset."

Only position that matters in a game.

In fact, the rest of the players should all stay on the sidelines while the two go out there, have a skills contest, and that should decide the winner.

He killed it during garbage time vs. garbage teams (1 of which they lost to.) He looked pretty good against A&M last week, but had a significant dumpster fire going weeks 5-9.

Comparing Dobbs to top QBs:

Dobbs Rating: 147.9, Raw QBR: 84.9, Adjusted QBR: 88.6
Mariota Rating: 184.6, Raw QBR: 88.8, Adjusted QBR: 90.9
Winston Rating: 147.4, Raw QBR: 72.9, Adjusted QBR: 81.5

Pretty impressive.

Everybody looks good against the aggie defense. It's the worst in the league.

To compare:
Mauk Rating: 118.6, Raw QBR: 47.1, Adjusted QBR: 46.0

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Don't turn the ball over = TN wins.

A&m defense is 14th in the sec, 110th overall. Every qb they've faced this year looked pretty good.

Dobbs wasn't in at QB vs. Florida. This comparison was between Dobbs and Mauk's stats. Not wins and losses.

 

[ItsAllVols]

Its simple, Dobbs takes car of the ball, UT wins
Turn it over Mizzuo Defense scores..UT looses

Dobbs has looked great so far but Mizzou has a much better defense that what he's faced thus far.

Important to remember when comparing stats too. I wonder what Mauk's rating for just the KY and SC was?

People forget that Dobbs played 3 quarters against Alabama, put up 20 points, and played very well.

Mauk's adjusted QBR was 23.9 against SC and 70.2 against KY. Not very good.

I've been going around telling people as well, there is no reason to fear their schedule or ranking. We'd be 7-3 at worst with their schedule. If all of this holds true we should win by 10 points.
