We have our negative folks for sure.

Great win tonight with room to improve.

Through eleven games, it looks like the offense is averaging almost 214 yards rushing (4.6 per carry) vs. 146 (3.6 per carry) in 2014.

Passing average is down by 24 yards per game (tonight's effort put a dent in the numbers). But the ground game is making up for it.

Small steps, but hopefully in the right direction.

Never follow along a game thread. Every negative thing is like the end of the world. Enjoy the game wherever you are and come back to VN after it's over.

I didn't see us running it that well if Dobbs sucked passing, great job by the D, and special teams not letting anything crazy happen. Dobbs' crappy passing is gonna cost us in a bowl game against a good opponent I fear. Unless the Dobbs from the Iowa game shows up...Good game and I am proud we won.

I'm not the one that's on here whining constantly. Pointing out that you are doesn't mean I am. Just a few years ago, we lost to UK with a converted wide receiver at QB. Tonight beat a team with a tough D in 28 degree weather on their field in the HC's last home game. After losing to them 3 years in a row. Going to play vandy with a chance for 8 regular season wins. First time in what, 8 years? You can piss and moan about negatives or be happy about the positives. You should try the positive sometime.

Hope I'm answering your question with the following:

Pts/Game: 28.9 (2014) vs. 32.6 (2015)

Pass TDs/Game: 1.77 (2014) vs. 1.4 (2015)

Rush TDs/Game: 1.54 (2014) vs. 2.2 (2015)

FGs/Game: 1.54 (2014) vs. 1.55 (2015)


A separate interesting stat...

Average number of sacks per game is down from 2.7 in 2014 to 2 this season. However, the average number of sacks allowed per game has dropped from 3.3 to 1.9.

That sacks allowed stat really stands out. I think we need to cut Mahoney some slack. We could have a great OL next year.

I think next week looks similar to today. Vandy can't score.

Depends on how much better one thinks Dobbs makes the OL look. IMO Dobbs is the difference In everything good this year and the OL is very close to the same as it was JW was getting killed

I think the OL is better than when JW was QB early last year. There were times when Worley had no time. We couldn't even run against Arkansas State or UTC. We ran well this year against Bama and Mizzou. Dobbs has stepped up in the pocket this year, and that's all the OL has to do is create a pocket. It's better, and we hope it gets even better next year.

Butch has gotta be feeling pretty good right now.

Extremely winnable game next week, and with a month of rest, we will likely handle any bowl opponent we get at 8-4. Once again our bowl game will essentially be a preview of what's to come next year, as an entire season of experience will add up for the young guys and they'll have a full month to absorb what they've learned over the past 12 games.

This staff has been good with extra time to prepare. Solid game plans to open games.
