Regardless of your thoughts on Pruitt, this is pretty impressive

[BigOrangeTrain]

A buddy of mine sent me this. I know its only one game but I will admit that its impressive.

Just Pruitt.

Now go beat Bama.

 

[McDad]

Nice!

Hard to believe it was took Saban 44 games to get a win over a ranked opponent. That had to be the road games being favorable for LSU.
Edit: nevermind, Toledo and Michigan St. I was reading as being just their SEC record. That's not the case.

Nice, but also not a particularly great predictor of success historically.

That said, what makes me more optimistic is that we've seen gradual improvement every single game this year (with possible exception of that 1st half versus Florida). So long as we continue to see that, I'm pretty happy. I'm not expecting any miracles against Bama, but we'll see what we got over the last half of the SEC slate. South Carolina and Mizzou are going to be key.

Clearly Nick Saban is one of the worst SEC coaches....

Meaningless stat is meaningless.

Saban beat 7th rank Michigan his first year at MSU?

At home. This is for road wins.

I agree it doesn't predict anything. I just think that its impressive given how bad we have been on the road against ranked opponents.

Sort of like you and your posts on here. Meaningless.

Go away already.

Aub was overrated but Tenn is starting to look like a decent team. I would give Pruitt and his staff high marks for the job so far

Interesting, good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.

And got off the SEC West losing streak. Doesn’t really matter to me where it ranks but road wins in sec over ranked teams are TOUGH, so that’s a big deal!

This reminds me of baseball stats.. Mr Jo Blow has an ERA of .01 on every 2nd Wednesday of August when the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat.

Look again, Steven. That's no Vol fan. That's a reptile.

You can make a stat that supports any decision. That said, I do like Pruitt and I do think he’s on the right track. However, this stat is meaningless

 

[Behr]

Lulz. You can't say anything with this bunch.

"Tennessee sucks. We haven't won a game against the west on the road since Abraham Lincoln was President"

But this IS meaningless.

I think it shows progress.

 

[orangemadam]

I think JP will make a great coach for us. I also think this also shows that we do have talent on this team, it just hasn't been utilized properly until Sat. Our WR's are first rate as well as our defensive front 4-6 players. If Helton will continue to open it up, we could go bowling.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Some people just love the misery. They can't help it really.
EDIT: Too early for me to be that dark

Context gives it meaning. The stat alone may be meaningless, but the fact that it had been almost 2 years since we had won a SEC game (let alone one on the road against a ranked team) makes this meaningful progress.
