Hey DOOL-HEADS, its that time again. IT'S REALITY TIME and I your host.
Topic: Offensive Line (Running Game vs Non-SEC Teams)
Excuse 1: We are young
Excuse 2: We dont have any talent
Excuse 3: We have no depth
Excuse 4: Injuries have hurt the passing game
Counterpoint:
Against Montana: 46 carries for 128 yards, 2.8 yds per carry. (Montana averaged 3.7 yards per carry)
Against Cincinnati: 35 carries for 126 yards, 3.6 yards per carry. (Cincinnati averaged 6.4 yards per carry)
(After Justin Hunter Injury)
Against Buffalo: 44 carries for 199 yards, 4.5 yards per carry (Buffalo averaged 5.3 yards per carry)
(After Tyler Bray Injury)
Against Middle Tennessee: 45 carries for 120 yards, 2.7 yards per carry (MTSU averaged 4.6 yards per carry)
Now, my point is simple. The most basic princple in football is the ability to run the football. Based on the factual information above, Tennessee has failed to do this against even non-SEC teams.
170 carries for 573 yards, 3.3 yards per carry
So DOOL-HEAD, is your arguement really going to be that we have
Excuse 1: We are younger
Excuse 2: We have less talent
Excuse 3: We have less depth
Excuse 4: Injuries have hurt the passing game
than these teams???? REALLY, I think we can agree that a change to the O-Line and RB coaches is needed. The head coach can stay, oh yeah, he coaches the running backs. :birgits_giggle:
Everyone says theat he needs time to compete against the SEC, it is year two and he has yet establish the run on non-SEC teams. If this is the case and a strong running game is critical to winning in the SEC, how many years is it until we can establish the run against SEC teams. Remember, these linemen will be gone in 2 seasons and it may take them that long to average 4 to 5 yards a carry against Sunbelt or Division II teams.
Oh and before someone brings up the 111 yards against LSU, heres a breakdown on the rushing totals against SEC teams
168 carries for 347 yards, 2.1 yards per carry
3.3 against non-SEC teams
2.1 against SEC teams
Spin that DOOL-HEADS, let me guess, its time to piss the bed to stay warm. Got to keep him for another year that way we dont hit rock bottom.
