I agree that pass coverage from LB was top 3, but I think by far, the other two biggest weaknesses were pass pro OL and pass rush. And I would probably put run blocking OL as fourth. I would make the same list for the year before as well.

Run blocking has to be #1 by a good margin imo. We were DEAD LAST in stuff rate nationally. In fact, we did so poorly, we were last out of all 130 FBS teams of the last 4 years! That's 520 teams that came and went and we topped them all in not pushing the pile 1 dang yard!

Also dead last in the league in YPC. 108th nationally. Run blocking was downright embarrassing tbh.

Fwiw he was 2nd to last in YPC, not 2nd. At least according to cfbstats.

YPC went:
1) Chandler (5.48)

2) Fils-Aime (5.14) few attempts, but I'd like too see him get more personally. Led the team at 6.94 YPC in 2017 on 31 carries. 81% of his yards have been vs SEC opponents (inb4 "he beat up on FCS dudes"). All he seems to do is produce.

3) London (4.90)

4) Jordan (3.95)

5) Banks (3.56) - the guy that so many like was both last in rushing efficiency and first in fumbles last year. Aight...?

He meant YPC in the O&W game, not last season.

I think Jordan is solid...he's just not a different enough type of back to Ty imo. He's slower but about the same size. I like him though, like Banks a whole lot too. Jordan just has to be willing to cut and go, stop trying to bounce outside.

I didnā€™t give it a like because I like it, but because I agree.

He made a statement on both:
"Averaged second most YPCs last yr. And quietly put up the most YPCs in the O&W game."

He is correct Jordan led YPC in O&W.

I like Jordan too. Will be interesting to see how Gray mixes in.

Just got around to reading Kongbo's exit interview and wow...that was spicy.

For those of you without The Athletic, it's awesome. David Ubben is already one of the better Tennessee beat writers in Knoxville. His articles are $. Literally and figuratively.

I must have missed this if it was already discussed. Can you give a summary of what Kongbo said?

All I remember about Heather from Knoxville folks were her uhh... late night driving stories. Seems she was pretty well known in the area.

Butch was a players' coach...
but he and AD focused on the wrong things..
biggest change to Pruitt era was WORKING...
Strip was the best DL coach...
players could not wait to leave 2016/2017...

Actually thought deep passing was pretty good. Then again we've been absolutely atrocious there for most of the past decade.

We hit 23 passing plays of 30+ yards, the most since 2010. This was good for 33rd nationally, despite us only passing 297 times all season (119th nationally, ahead of only a mere 6 non-triple option teams). For how little we threw, we completed a good number of deep passes.

Fwiw we were 19th nationally at 40+ yard pass completions.

How many of those pass plays actually traveled 30+ yards in the air tho? I charted the South Carolina game and the total combined air yardage of JGs 27 completions was 14 yards. I was subtracting the yards behind the LOS but itā€™s still crazy.

Iā€™ve talked about it before but heā€™s a flick thrower And that causes him to float balls and they hang up in there and cause a WR to have to slow down and wait on it. I remember this several times.

Jordan wasnā€™t good. He had a couple good moments but overall he left A LOT of yards on the field.

Yea i thought we really werenā€™t THAT bad in pass protection. We held our own against the best edge player in college football this year too.

We did a lot of good things that game, as with the Auburn game. Just couldnā€™t seem to bring it every game. Inconsistency is what killed us this past year.

Here's where I split on him, there's no particular style that's enjoyable.
Banks runs angry like JK did.
Chandler has a hint of Kamara.

There's nothing "fun" about watching Jordan. But at the end of every game, 1st or 2nd in YPCs. Fun or not, he's getting production.

A little misleading, I check them after each game. CFA only had 36 yds in 2018, and 1 run was wide open for 14 yds.
He had 6 other attempts for a total of 22 yds.

Though, I actually did get back to back bar trivia bonus questions last month - what is the theoretically most points one can score in 1 game of jeopardy? And the least?
Click to expand...
That's hard to figure because of the daily double.

Edit: If my math is right and you get the daily doubles on the last squares for each board and bet it all each time and bet it all at the end, you could theoretically win 566,400 in one game.
