Can this Vol offense be one of the greatest in college football history?

We have the qb, wrs, and offensive genius to make it work. Also, we have what other elite teams don’t: a slightly porous defense that means we aren’t shutting down our O in the 3rd quarter.

We play a lot tougher schedule than some of those great Os of the past, but this Vol offense is so dynamic and moves so fast, I think we’re gonna have multiple 60+ outings in SEC games. Even against the bamas and ugas we’re getting over 30.

I’m saying 70 vs Ball State and then Pitt can’t stop the pass either. Hooker will be bombing them all over the field. 35 by half. 60 by the time the clock hits :00 and we’re off to a good start for that 50 ppg threshold.

For that to happen, the run game will have to be very good too. It will mean Small and Wright have made big jumps and the 2 freshmen play well.

Have you posters noticed over the years how ridiculously optimistic some of us get the closer to "game time" we get??:D

Better than some years when people were posting about mowing their yard instead of watching the game, right? 2020 we were just hoping we’d score more points for our team than we did for the other team.

Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but I fully expect for more teams to adopt the Ole Miss flopping strategy from last year, especially if our up tempo offense is better than it was last year. I say that to say, I don't see 50 ppg attainable at all

I mean, who is going to police it?

We will have to score 100 points per game to offset a couple of bruisers

How awesome would it be to average 50 points per game? We wouldn't have to worry about getting top offensive recruits if that happened IMO. What I am hoping for is that we become the new Oregon.

I would imagine that teams we played last year that have the same coaching staff will be better prepared for us this go around. I’m sure our staff will anticipate this and have new things to throw at them. But overall, I’d say SC, Kentucky, Georgia, Bama will be more prepared. Now the new teams on the schedule…they screwed. I expect big numbers put up against new teams/coaching staffs and Vandy.

Same. I want to see what the offense does in the middle of a flop fest.

I’m not 100% sold yet on the offense being able to move the ball as well when they can’t run up to the line and snap when they want each play.

Extremely doubtful. Look at the USC, Mizzou, and Kentucky games as examples why.

Against USC we had 38 points at half and ended the game w/45.
1. USC adjusted after the initial shellshock somewhat.
2. Heupel took his foot off the gas. Up 38 to 7, he started running clock. Still looking to score, but w/a 31 point lead, you don't want to risk several series of fast three & out series that give the ball back to the offense to catch up. Early blowouts where we can stack points in some ways work against us.

Against Mizzou we put up 62 so did hit that +50 points average. But 45 of those points were in the first half compared to 17 in the second. Again, CJH took his foot off the gas to run clock when the game was well in hand.

Against Kentucky we put up 45. It was a competitive game from start to finish where CJH kept his foot on the gas the entire game and we kept scoring. 24 in the first half and 21 in the second. But even then we didn't crack 50 points because Kentucky ran a clock-possession offense w/49 rushing attempts.

You have to go all the way back to 2013 to find a team (Baylor) that average over 50 PPG for the season. And that was in the Big12 where they don't have SEC defenses.

50 ppg - I highly doubt it.

Closing in on 500 points for the season - maybe.

Last year we broke the 500 mark if you include the bowl game with 511. 50points @ 13 games is 650... doable, not probable... I'm seeing more like 575 total points this year, or 45ppg.
