Kudos to O-line, Hurd, Dobbs, Kamara

Very nice job by the O-line and rushing game vs Missouri.

Missouri was ranked #26 in the nation in rushing defense, holding opponents to 125 yds/game.

UT rushed for 248 yds, by far more than any Missouri opponent this year.

Not only that, but Missouri held all but two opponents below the opponent's rushing yds/game average.

See stats below.

Hurd himself outrushed 9 of the other 10 entire teams.

Our RBs deserve alot of credit, but can we perhaps eek out a little credit to our OL that obviously did not suck?

Hurd was awesome last night. I believe he will be setting some new Tennessee rushing records next year

Very nice job by the O-line and rushing game vs Missouri.

The stats tell one story, but technique and execution tell a different story.

At about 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, we had an inside run play called. When the ball was snapped, all O-linemen heads popped up (lost leverage for run blocking). Defense reads this as a pass. I don't know if this is on purpose (to cause a misread on the play), but the Missouri D line is built on speed and using techniques for penetration. From a run-blocking perspective, we should have decimated them, but we didn't. We should have used trap blocks to knock the he?? out of their penetrating linemen, but we didn't.

Very seldom will you see a runner get through the d-line clean.

We don't need to use deception to trick a defense out-of-position, we have the players to execute.

The bottom line is this: O-line coaching ain't getting it done.

Hurd was good, but my impression is Kamara accelerates faster and is better at getting to the corner and turning upfield. What was the yd/carry number for both in last night's game?

Whatever, this Tennessee team runs the ball better than than they have in ages. Probably have to go back to the ninetys to find a team that runs the ball as well as this one does against solid rushing defenses.

YES!!! Let's complain about shredding a team that at least half thought we might lose to due to emotions etc...

Not to mention we ran for double the avg yds per game their def gives up..in their house..with it being pinkle's last home game...in the freezing cold.

Pinkel.

The man deserves enough respect to get his name right at least.

The reason why the stats are good (and why we have a win) is because of our outstanding running backs. Can you imagine what JH could do if he could consistently get to the second level clean? Instead of struggling for a three-yard gain with three defenders attached.

The O-line is a ragtag group of walking wounded and new faces but we continuously out rush opponents and win games on the ground...but let's nit-pick to support our agenda because you don't like particular coaches.

Remy, did you not read the post? O-line was listed first in the subject line, and in the post.

The Vols may have a chance to lead the SEC in Rushing this year, Yes?
