Perspective on Our Offensive Productivity vs. Defensive Ineptitude

[Volosaurus rex]

Try this on for size with respect to the schizoid personality of our team, i.e. offensive productivity vs. defensive ineptitude:

At present, we are averaging 162.0 YPG rushing, 323.1 YPG passing, 485.1 YPG total offense and 36.8 pts per game. At that total offense clip, we should be averaging considerably more pts. per game, but, as we all know, the defense is doing virtually nothing, particularly in terms of creating turnovers, to set up our offense. Our defense is matching virtually point-for-point and yard-for-yard what our offense is generating ( UTSPORTS.COM - University of Tennessee Athletics - Football ).

To further contextualize our current offensive productivity, the all-time single season offensive records are as follows: 3981 yds. passing, 37 touchdown passes and 331.8 ypg passing, all of which were set in 1997. Total offense records also were set in '97: 5,794 yds., 482.8 ypg. Our most prolific season scoring was in 1993: 471 pts., 42.8 pts. per game, and 62 touchdowns ( 2012 Tennessee Football Record Book: Records ). If we should tally 1634 yds. total offense in the last three games, and it might take that to win all three, we would finish the season with exactly 6,000 yds. total offense or 500.0 YPG. When I first started following college football back in the mid '60s, 400 ypg would often lead the nation in total offense.

Bottom line: Let's do give credit to Bray and Co. for what they are doing statistically. 'tis a crying shame that such offensive firepower could not be coupled with even an average defense.

If TN was just somewhere in the middle of the SEC pack (like last year), this team would be 8-1 or 7-2 worst case...There wouldn't be this meltdown going on right now. What a shame that an offense this prolific has been wasted.

I have been saying for weeks that we would be a pretty good team with a decent defense.Wished Wilcox would have stayed.He is ten times better than Sal.

Doesn't matter. This team blows and 0-5 is the only stat I need for evidence.

They may be performing well, but they could be mutch better. Our running game is not very significant against good teams. Our running stats are deceiving because we, at times, bust big plays. We are definately not consistent. As far as passing is concerned, we have also underperformed. Against tough opponents, Bray nor Hunter put up the numbers and Patterson does not run routes well enough yet to be a consistent threat; however, when he does get his hands on the ball, he is unbelievable. Overall, the offense has vastly underperformed this year. Mainly because of the loss of D. Rogers. Oh what we could have been.

If it werent for Bray & Co., we'd be 2-7 or 1-8 right now!!

Don't post.

Part of the reason for the first statement is that our D gets us in the hole and we end up having to abandon the running game. I disagree with the second statement. I can think of only a handful of 'big' (plus 20 yds) runs we have busted.

This is why I hate statistics, it gives the less informed something to cling to. For you stat chasers.. Check Tennessee's stats against ranked teams, check the offenses stats against Sec defenses(passing or rushing), check there stats in the second halves of games, Hell, what's dooleys stats for winning a damn presser???

0-5 in the MF'N SEC there's your stat to look at boys!
