2nd in the SEC

[VOLS INC.]

Right now the Big Orange are 2nd in the entire conference for points scored! Only those dirty Bammers have scored more.

I know the only stat that matters is the Win/Loss. But given the last few years, we can take a minute to enjoy this!

 

[Orange931]

At the end of the year, we’ll be tops in that category. This offense is even better than ‘12 and with a depleted roster.

Ain't nothing wrong with being happy and excited. We are actually improving and that's something we haven't done in a while either.

 

[pualsline]

I'm just saying this now because we likely won't be able to say this again.

SEC east could be decided on November 6

It’s fun to watch. That is something I haven’t felt in awhile watching UT football.

 

[Hacksaw]

Anything we can find to be happy/proud about after the past decade+ is good. We deserve it.

I get it I get it I get it but I’m excited. If UGA loses 1 to someone, then yes. November 6 and/or November 13 COULD be for the east. That’s insane to think about considering what our program has been through. Anything is possible! Go damn Vols!

And 4th in defense

And 4th in defense

No. That's 4th in tackles.

We are middle of the conference in defense as far as points scored.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

That is filtered by category “Defense” and includes more than tackles. Although you are correct, I don’t see a column for yards or points scored. Still, filtering by Defense and seeing Vols in the top 4 is nice. Just trying to show D some live. They’ve earned it.

 

[rjd970]

No. That's 4th in tackles.

We are middle of the conference in defense as far as points scored.

We would probably be upper tier if you take away garbage time TD’s and special teams TDs.

I know, TDs are TDs, but at the end of the day our first team guys are playing solid defensive football.

That's ranked by tackles, which is highlighted. Ole Miss has the most tackles because their defense is horrible and can never get off the field. Hence their players have the most opportunity to make tackles.

 

[AdoptedVOL]

I’m back to eat just a little crow. The ESPN site does provide team D stats that show Vols middle of SEC pack. I assume this includes data from yesterday.

I’m still proud of the effort and improvement.

Saban is a loser. Loser, loser, ha ha ha ha!!!!

 

[USAFgolferVol]

No. That's 4th in tackles.

We are middle of the conference in defense as far as points scored.

And we've played 2 of the 3 worst teams

 

[House of Neyland]

Saban is a loser. Loser, loser, ha ha ha ha!!!!

And a definite sore lose I guess he didn’t pay the refs enough last night.

 

[Orange931]

And we've played 2 of the 3 worst teams

Still doesn’t take away that Mizzou was favored and we were only favored by 7 against SC. We blew both teams out, isn’t that what good teams do? Or should we have played them closer?

 

[macrovol]

Vols 7th in the country in scoring offense, 37th in scoring defense. Vast improvement.

I know, TDs are TDs, but at the end of the day our first team guys are playing solid defensive football.

Other teams give up TDs in their garbage time too, so those have to factor in for everyone.

 

[macrovol]

Also Hooker 5th in the nation in passing efficiency.

Funny how it went from we don't have a SEC QB and we won't win a SEC game except Vandy to now, well those other SEC teams weren't that good

Things change week to week. It's great we blew out Mizzou and SC. Probably won't see that again until the last two weeks of the season. Heupel's done a helluva job. VOLS are steadily improving

I think a lot of people are excited, but don’t wanna admit it. It’s a week to week thing though in football, I’m just enjoying the moment.

You’re right, it is week to week. So what’s so negative about this week or last week? Enjoy now, grieve later if we have to.
