For the first time since 1998 the Vols have won 8 games in a row from the end of 2015 through week 2 of 2016 against VT. This is the 3rd longest winning streak currently in the nation and the second longest for a power 5 team. (Bama has the longest)
Results:
@UK 52-21
SC 27-24
UNT 24-0
@Miz 19-8
Van 52-28
NW 45-8 (bowl game) (ranked)
App 20-13
VT 45-24
Score breakdown for the streak:
UT 284 Others 126
Average UT 35.5 Others 15.75
Avg margin of victory 19.75 (3 scores a game)
2016 breakdown through 2 games:
UT 65 Others 37
Average UT 32.5 Others 18.5
Avg margin of victory 14 (2 scores per game)
During the streak:
5 of the wins were by 3 scores or more. 1 victory by 2 scores and the other 2 were within 1 score.The Vols have only faced 1 ranked opponent during the 8 game streak. 2 of the 8 wins came on the road and 2 more at neutral sites leaving 4 consecutive wins in Neyland Stadium.
With the Ohio Bobcats coming in next week this streak should extend to 9 in a row. To reach double digits the Vols must end the losing streak against the Gators on Sept 24, 2016.
4 week gauntlet upcoming of UF, @UGA, @A&M, Bama. All match ups for the Vols should be against ranked teams.
Side note:
Last double digit loss for the Vols occurred Oct 25 2014 against Bama in Knoxville 34-20.
Those are the numbers of a rising and top level football team. Regardless of deficiencies the Vols are playing some of the best and most consistent football in the country.
Go Vols!
