2018 Stats

112 in rushing tells the tell offensively. Not getting off the field on 3rd and 4th and red zone D tells that we just couldn't hold up inside defensively. The line of scrimmage was the main issue this year, but those defensive stats are better than i thought they would be. If only we had a better offense might of been a different story.

All about each respective line of scrimmage. Always has been, always will be.

Can you even read? I never proposed either. It was a condemnation of using gross yardage stats over efficiency stats. I didn't even mention UT.

Posting articulation is lacking. I'll give you a C- for effort though. And no, I cannot read.

The completion percentage can’t be right......

Chryst completed 45% of his 51 passes, brought the percentage down from what would’ve been JG’s 62% to 59%. Would’ve been 43rd rather than 71st without his stats

 

[dcm3w]

As for the stats, at least 51 on defense is middle of the road. 121 of offense is just... I don’t have the words.

My thoughts exactly. Anyone with a brain can tell you that our offense was the primary reason we couldn't keep up with teams.
Bad offense only hurts the defense.

Youre a nega vol for bring up stats!!!

You know ever since I've been on this board you have been three things, long winded, repetitive, and a jerk. That sums it up. Every once in a while I show ignored content and I still see your drivel. And your whole take on wanting names for people not bought in results in, if you can't watch a game and see for yourself then you sir are just a drama queen looking for attention with your moronic posts. Living in Bama I'm sad to say i share a state with you. If you would like to move I would gladly pay to help you LEAVE.

Yep. The defensive rankings only get better if we string together some drives of our own that are 10-12 plays long instead of 3. Any defense is going to have breakdowns over enough plays. I'd be curious to see raw numbers like how many snaps the defense played. I know the offense didn't do them many favors. See: team tackles for loss allowed, where we were tied for 118th with Central Michigan and also UTEP and Charlotte, coincidentally enough (source: College Football FBS Stats | NCAA.com).

Lol, nice.

I didnt say people that didn't buy in. When someone says players quit, they should be able to name a few. It's not difficult.

What you're saying is you don't want a game manager..... you want a play maker.

No. I'm fine with either. I want points. There's more than one way to be an effective QB that leads his O to points.

Yeah JG was terrible in the Vandy game. He really didn't get much pressure. It was as if he was punch drunk, expecting the big hit. It didn't come several times and he made shat throws. The QB competition will be open in the spring. He just doesn't have it i don't think. He played well until he got hit too many times. Happens to a lot of QB's, David Carr comes to mind.

The problem with this is that a lot of the hits he took were as much or more on him as they were the OL. Sometimes a QB just has to see the pressure pre snap or recognize a coverage opportunity and get the ball out quickly. Not all but some of his underthrows were due to nothing more than him thinking about it a half count too long. A fraction of the second is very often the difference between taking a hit or sack and not.

He just doesn't process things quick enough. Some of that stuff is our receivers weren't open either, lack of a running game tends to tighten everything up. He could of thrown it into the stands a bunch and saved himself a bunch of bad down and distance plays. He just hasn't developed like he should of by now. New OC may go in a different direction, or maybe he can finally get him where he processes things quicker.

You forgot you Worley, Dormady lovefests too?

Worley had feet of stone. Yes. He was a prolific passer in HS who never really had the opportunity to reach his potential. I would have liked to have seen if he could have been better. Jim Chaney who knows a good bit more about QB's than you... recruited him and thought he had a high ceiling.

Still sore over Dormady beating JG out I see? Over the fact that he didn't

Less accurate? He was above 65% the whole year until he had a bad game. Still finished higher than last year. So being more accurate the whole year is regressing in accuracy?

Yes. As in sailing the ball and not throwing the ball in as tightly as he had before. I've always said he was a great arm and very accurate passer. (see rational people can recognize strengths AND weaknesses) He was still "good" but not as good as before with accuracy. Want proof... rewatch some games.

Feeling pressure and managing the pocket he regressed? Even though you had no credibility anyway this definitely erases any you would have had.
He went from over 5 sacks a game, many his fault, to two. Then the sacks that have happened have been missed blocks.

Your man crush delusion truly has no bounds.

The Vandy game was bad. Do you really think you measure a players growth off of one game and not the whole year? Or just agendaing like usual. Lord knows even the great Peyton had some stinkers.

IIRC, every offense led by Manning scored over 400 points and that was before the 12th game was added. The OL was bad. The RB's weren't great.... and JG was an ineffective QB.

All his numbers improved. Some by a lot. Some regression.

And point production did not. Yes there are more reasons than just the QB but only the truly delusional think that the QB doesn't factor in heavily. Again, he isn't hard to defend. SEC D's will give him that 3 yard play all day long when the O needs 8. They'll accept a few chunk plays down the sideline if UT abandons the middle of the field.

Do you have any experience with or understanding of how football is played? I mean this isn't high level stuff. There are people here with a ton of expertise. I can't get down into the details like they can. But this really basic and obvious stuff... just isn't that hard.

He did move the ball and win some games. Not enough of either but as any intelligent person knows he was the only reason we were even in half the games we were in.

No. He is neither the "only" reason UT was ineffective on O nor the "only" reason UT was in games. The two biggest wins were MUCH more a function of the D coming up with big plays.

But then again... you only want credit for your cult idol and will throw every other UT player under the bus in a heartbeat. Your whole response started with dredging up your own bias and personal hatred for two Vols.

Meaningless troll response. Nice sidestep.

Try discerning what argument is being made in a post next time. It's an important skill to hone and it would save everyone a lot of time. Both Freak and I pointed it out, so hopefully you get "it" now.

 

[Devo182]

You've never dealt with low sample-size in any sort of statistical analysis have you?

Sure. Decreases signigicance and increases variance in predictability. But "low sample size" is a moot point here. JG isn't playing for Army.

 

[jacvols]

8th completion percentage on the year. Still better than any qb you have supported at 62+ %.

140 rating better than any qb you like

2nd in ints. 5th ypa for the year.

Where did he regress specifically? Are you making up stuff like usual.

He improved in literally every single area. National and local media keep trying to break down this stuff for those slower to pickup on things like you.


He had two bad games this year. About normal for any qb. He was good to great in every other game.

He was good to great looking like a statue.
