I found this to be pretty interesting. Shows that the OL got better as the game went on. Granted it seemed like WV backed off the pressure after the first few series for some odd reason. Also nice to see the teams which we have the best chance to beat in order to reach 6 wins behind us on this list.

If we can play like we did that 2nd quarter sky's the limit.Think we saw sum potential of what we could possibly become.If we come out and play like we did the other 3 then it's gonna be a long season.

Hope we can just let some passes develop down field. Having that threat opens up the run game and until we do have that threat teams will stack the box.

Also, if JG will look at DWA during his pass routes he is always open.

Nice to see. However, a big part of this , ironically, is JG getting the ball out quickly. During Jeremy’s coaches show on Sunday, while watching highlights consistently mentioned how quickly Jarrett was delivering the ball/getting it out of his hands. Coaches have done a excellent job working with Jarrett to improve what was his biggest weakness last year imo. Let’s see if it continues. But yes, good sign also that the OL played a good bit better last week as the game went along.

this stat is very skewed because most of those games were over before half time and the SEC teams spent the 2nd half running the ball. Hard to pressure the QB when he turns around and hands the ball off. How many passes did each team throw? Alabama, UGA, UF, Arkansas, and UT all attempted under 30 passes while the others attempted more then 30 passes. The number of attempts, the quality of opponent, and the score of the game all dictate run/pass plays. Very hard to gather any kind of information about anything based on those numbers.

Dude you're missing the focus of this stat. This is about the percentage of QB drop backs. It doesn't matter how much you threw it's how much you were pressured when you threw. 20% means we were pressured 1 out of 5 passing plays regardless if we threw the ball 30 times or 50.

Hopefully Helton will open up the passing game more.

Wasnt Helton not opening up. It was a combination of JG not having time to throw initially and JG not progressing through routes. He had his mind made up where he was going before the snap it seemed like. He starred a lot of receivers down. Hope he builds on his reads this week his Accuracy is there.

Am not trying to deflect UT's loss but those of you touting UF are crazy after week one. They played a horrible team, allowed nearly 250 yards rushing against a team with virtually no passing attack and faced a lot of pressure on the qb. I do not get the love with that team.

Improvement in the secondary, Linebacker, and DL is all we need to actually have a chance to win a couple were supposed to lose. In other words the entire defense has to get remarkably better.
Were going to have to get away from the Butch Jones first and second down runs every possession also. Throw one downfield on first down occasionally it might work.

Guess it’s stat Friday. We missed one in 5 tackles and QB pressured one in 5 drop backs. Hope we win more than 20%

No really I am not missing the point. I full understand the point but I guess I have to get the crayons out for you. Lets go back in history on the hill to guys with the name Little or even more recent Barnett. When those guys roamed the turf of Neyland, the opponent knew where they were on the field each and every play. It was not IF they were gonna beat their man and cause disruption it was WHEN. So if the opponent only threw the ball 10 times that game what kind of odds and % would you give their O-Line in keeping those guys out of the back field? Given enough chances and any d-lineman will beat their guy and end up in the backfield.

Point being, the more you throw the ball the more chances the D has to get pressure. It does matter how many times you throw it, when you throw it, what the score is when you are throwing it. Those factors dictate what kind of defense is going to be ran. When ETSU was down by 40+ points, did they see pressure and blitzes or did they just see a base defense? So someone who is pressured on 20% of their drop backs might be so bacuse they are dropping back every play and the defense knows the chance of a run is slim. Therefore they are in total pass rush mode or blitzing someone in order to cause a turnover. There is far more information needed when looking at this kind of stat. Most fans disregard interceptions thrown at the end of the half, end of the game or when their team is down by a ton of points because of this same kind of thinking. The D knows you are passing or it is a hail mary and was prepared, well the same can be said for passing every down.
