Our backs had over 6 yards per carry Saturday

As a team it was 4.8. Multiple drives got killed due to bad blocking, False starts, illegal man downfield. A 53 yd run saved them from averaging 4ypc. So 1 good play then a lot of average, mostly because of blocking. Definitely not a lack of effort on Sampson's part

A 53 yd run tends to skew the average, but that was his 3rd 50+ run. The Vols O-line has been strong in the run game. I believe the pass protection will improve as season goes on.

Rarely am I this negative, but OL play must be severely down across the board if this group is in the Joe Moore conversation.

Edit: But the future is still unwritten. They could grow into a good offensive line in time.

If we only had one big run and everything else was only 3 yards, we wouldn’t have 2 backs with over 6 yards per carry

Their narrative is the only thing that matters. If we averaged 6 yds without a long one they would be bitching about not breaking one. We are at the top for stupid fans.

100% and the search for the narrative after a loss is always hilarious. Like the poster who is preemptively blaming the hurricane in Florida for making them extra motivated in case we lose. The insane theories we will hear post loss are always amazing

Might it be that Heupel’s offense is overly reliant on play action and RPO? Get our offense a little off schedule and it just bogs down completely, which might explain why we can go from carpet bombing defenses and scoring 50-plus to barely moving the ball.

Couldn't get the yards when they mattered. That was the point. They couldn't open holes consistently.
