Week one SEC missed tackle rates

This.

One week compared to other SEC teams on opening week and most of the others playing relative cupcakes. USCe at the top against Coastal Carolina.

There's obvious room for improvement. But the sky isn't falling.

There is no sky to fall.

SC's missed tackle ratio not gonna look nearly as good this week now that they aren't playing a cupcake. UGA running through poor tackling attempts left and right.

Defend Florida? So pointing out that UT and Florida's tackling numbers aren't comparable because of the fact that Florida played literally their entire defense, held a cupcake to 6 points, and had a missed tackle rate of ~18%, is not the same as UT playing their 1st-2nd string, allowing 40 points, and missing 20% of their tackles against a top-25 team?

Let me break it down for you, since you seem to be struggling. UT played a good offense, playing their 1st and 2nd string players, and had a 20% missed tackling rate. So as it stands right now, against P5 offenses our 1st and 2nd string defenders are missing 1/5 tackles. Going forward against P5 offenses, we actually have a point of reference to measure against. Florida on the other hand, played every guy on defense who suited up, against an FCS team, and missed 18% of their tackles, which tells us absolutely nothing about their tackling ability, because they played guys like Umstead Sanders and Tanner Rowell, who will never see the field in a non-cupcake game.

Unless you really do want to argue that guys who aren't even listed on Florida's depth chart, who played considerable time in this game, should be tackling at the same levels as Florida's 1st and 2nd string?

I am watching UF get gashed by Kentucky rushing the ball. They must be the playing those 2nd and 3rd stringers again. I can’t wait to here more of your football wisdom. They were a bad tackling team last week and they are tonight as well but you are still probably trying to justify why in your head

I'm sorry, did Benny Snell Jr. And Terry Wilson suit up with Charlston Southern last week? They caused all this missed tackles like they are doing tonight?

Better hold off another week on moving from landscaping to football analyst.

You’re right. I don’t know what I was thinking because I could have sworn they gave up over 200 yards rushing last week. It was probably just the humidity
