My wife asked me why I watch UT football cause I always seem miserable when I’m watching. I had to think about that and try to enjoy the Vols making good plays like I do when I watch teams I don’t care about. It’s hard, but it’s been more fun watching them.Correct me if I’m wrong but 2nd down seems to be the biggest wasted down play calling ever. I seem to recall numerous running calls up a stacked middle resulting in losses. The Vols and Titans kind of mimic one another with this down. What gives?
Yeah OP needs to bring receipts if he’s going to make this claim about THE BEST OFFENSE IN ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

2nd down plays in Florida game
I count 23 plays actually run on 2nd down and at least 14 of them either being first down conversions, touchdowns, or successful plays to set up 3rd and short.
It would be a cool stat if we were avg 18yds/play on 1st, 3rd, and 4th down, but only 2.7 on 2nd down. BUT I don't think that's the case. I have noticed and can backup that CJH has cured our 2nd quarter woes on offense.

I think this is pretty accurate - need a little more imagination on second down, for whatever reason - but I noticed Florida was doing the same thing.Correct me if I’m wrong but 2nd down seems to be the biggest wasted down play calling ever.
