some interesting offensive stats

[HooahVol]

Was this intentional? Good work either way

Thanks. Yes, I was using offensive in the way a triggered millennial would.

He should be fired simply for the offense of walking the sidelines looking like an Albanian farmers wife.

 

[Godfatha]

Is it right that we are average 318.5 total yards of offense per game? Good offenses get that in a half.

Is it right that we are average 318.5 total yards of offense per game?

Yes, national avg is 405.6 YPG, SEC avg is 412. Hard to be consistently competitive in the SEC with an offense that averages under 385 YPG, like most Chaney-led offenses over the past dozen years.

We're averaging just 4.74 yards per play, well off the national avg of 5.79 and SEC avg of 5.92.

Our rushing game is averaging 3.6 YPC vs national avg of 4.4 and SEC avg of 4.19.

Our passing game's 118.3 PER is well below the national avg of 137.4 and the SEC avg of 145.3.

Those numbers are just horrible. They would have been horrible 25 years ago when it was more of a defensive game. I suspect our YPC is low because of our inability to present a threat passing the ball. The old mentality of running to open up the pass is no longer relevant in this day. You pass and it opens up the run.

Run on 1st and 2nd; pass on 3rd. That's where we are.

 

[orangerush]

Run on 1st and 2nd; pass on 3rd. That's where we are.

It gives us the best chance to lose

Even given JG's limitations, I'd still like to see us throw on 1st down 40-45% of the time. So far this year, we've passed 34% of the time on 1st down (58 times), 41% on 2nd down (54), 53% on 3rd down (45), and 38% on 4th down (6).

Agree. We set ourselves up for 3rd and long methodically. 1st and 2nd down we run it up the gut for a 3rd & 8 and now we have to rely on JG making a pressured throw into coverage.

Third Quarter For What?

What would this year's theme song be?

 

[chef3531]

Coming Undone from Korn comes to mind as a theme song for this season

 

[OrangeTsar]

That declination on total offense (downs) is telling. That 3rd down number speaks loudly.

For a second there, I thought you said declension. Latin students everywhere shuddered. Bad mojo

 

[deezvols]

So basically, we get worse as the game goes on, and if we don’t score on 1st down, we might as well punt

• Our pass efficiency rating (PER) on 1st down ranks 24th nationally, while we're 111th on 2nd down and 109th on 3rd down.
• On 3rd-down runs, we're averaging under 1 yard per carry (114th nationally). Combined with our passing futility on 3rd down, it's easy to see why we're 119th in 3rd-down conversion efficiency.
• Of our 14 offensive TDs, 11 were scored on 1st down (1 TD every 16 plays). On all other downs, we've scored 1 TD every 77 plays.
• Not shown above but Tennessee has had just 1 play from scrimmage go for 40+ yards, fewer than any other SEC team. Sans UT, the conference average is 7 plays of 40+ yards.

Thats what happens when you cant actually throw downfield.

The pass on first down was a 30 yard pass to the corner that was 3 yards short of the first down. Then we can run 2.5 yards on the next 2 plays, then pass on 3rd down.

substitute the lyrics referencing the woman with UT....

 

[GAVol]

On 3rd-down runs, we're averaging under 1 yard per carry (114th nationally).

This stat is unbelievable.

Welcome to UT football, where JG always starts and the points don’t matter

So what you are telling me, is that some teams are making adjustments at halftime and some teams are not! hummm!
