Cocks are only 101st in country at run defense

[BanditVol]

Dead last in scoring offense (128th)
near the very bottom in run offense (122nd)
Really bad at run D (101st)

I was thinking this might be a relatively tight game, but now I am not so sure.

This is by far the worst run D we have faced. Check out some of these other guys:

Bammer 1st
Uga 17th
va tech 18th
ohio 19th
App state 21st
Florida 24th
Texas A&M 77th

The only bad run D in the lot is Tamu, and we ran for 282 yards on them. Kamara had a lot to do with that, but Kelly and Dobbs had great games also.

We might just blow the doors off this team. :dance2:

 

[Catbone]

We're 107th in run defense too, but yeah I hope hurd and Kelly kill it

103rd actually

But if Kirkland plays it will help tremendously

 

[TheBigOne10]

It all starts up front. These stats are irrelevant if our OL doesn't show up. That said, I bet we rush for 250.

 

[DaphneVol1]

Its certainly possible to blow them out. Have to not turn it over though.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Hurd is going to be running downhill all day.

103rd (#81 in total D), and not a true comparison when you consider (head-to-head to date) schedules and too injuries esp to key personnel

 

[eskimovol]

I'm just anxious to see a full friggin game from our team this year. Hopefully we put it all together and roll from here on out.

So, you are saying the Worst Run D would be if Tn played itself? Kinda weird thread to make fun of a defense that is statistically better? Just asking...

As for the game, blowout, 40-14 Vols, USC is bad, really, really bad.

Hurd needs to make a statement and improve his NFL stock:dance2:

 

[Paper_Towel]

Expect Hurd to get three yards on first down instead of the usual one.

I hear you Photo and I agree. He needs a huge day. That being said, after nearly 600 carries in his career, I think the NFL knows what kind of player Jalen is with respect to what he can and can't do already.

 

[dcm3w]

I expect Kelly to have a damn good game. We need to get him touches.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Let's just run. Mainly so our defense doesn't have to be on the field.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Hurd is going to be running downhill all day.

Hurd needs a coming out rush party today.

Kelly gets 100 yards today, just don't know how much will be during garbage time.

 

[FLVOL_79]

#68 in rushing offense..so....

 

[KBVol]

I expect Kelly to have a damn good game. We need to get him touches.

I agree, someone other than Hurd needs 10-15 carries

-Alvin Kamara

Good point. When our defense is playing, bad things generally happen.

 

[joevol33]

Usually when we think Tennessee should do something, they usually don't. Hate to say that, but..........

The difference in Tennessee's run D and USC's is so small it doesn't matter.

But beyond that, my main point is that this is by far the most favorable match-up for our run game this season.

And our schedule compared to theirs has been much much harder

Hurd is going to be running downhill all day.

My bet is Hurd has a really big game today.

 

[KBVol]

My bet is Hurd has a really big game today.

Think he's definitely gonna get the opportunity to. Bet he has 28-30 carries
