A lot of us were too. People were predicting 2-10 or possibly 4-8 at best. So finishing the way we did was a very pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that kind of talk from some VERY frustrated Vols fans. All of them were pretty rational and patient, so I was happy for them their season turned around. Can't wait for the day they beat Bama. Hope I'm still alive to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it even worse when I have to go over to.the basketball board and see people complaining about our coach when we just WON A GAME and are 10-1. Good teams when games when they dont play well. We did that twice this week. Back to football lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Alabama, Tennessee has faced some really bad offenses this season. 2. Alabama 37. Florida 42. Georgia State 51. Georgia 71. BYU 75. Mississippi State 86. Kentucky 91. Missouri 100. UAB 104. South Carolina 125. Vanderbilt At #41...Indiana would be the 3rd highest scoring offense (based on 2019 statistics) that UT will have faced this year...just ahead of Georgia State. For reference...Tennessee's offense is #97 in scoring offense for the year. Edit to add hyperlink - NCAA FBS Scoring Offense Statistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmaxvol Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 As referenced above...UT had the #97 highest scoring offense and IU had the #41 highest scoring offense in FBS in 2019. Let's look at the defensive opponent rankings on their respective schedules (defensive scoring rankings): NCAA Defensive Scoring Stats 2019 Tennessee: 2. Georgia 8. Florida 12. Kentucky 15. Alabama 17. Missouri 27. UAB 47. BYU 56. South Carolina 68. Mississippi State 98. Vanderbilt 120. Georgia St. Average - 42.73 Indiana: 3. Ohio St. 7. Penn St. 18. Michigan 36. Michigan State 44. Northwestern 66. Nebraska 88. Purdue 94. Ball State 114. Maryland 123. Rutgers 128. UCONN Average - 65.55 For reference...Indiana's defense was ranked #49, and Tennessee's was ranked #30.

Appreciate the info. Actually pretty interesting, although with the Big Ten playing one additional conference game, stats will always be slightly skewed against us. Replace UAB or Chattanooga with an additional SEC West opponent, and stats would come down some most likely. Unless that SEC West opponent is Arkansas...

Leathernecks Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Here's the side by side of the defensive ratings. The numbers are remarkably similar for most of it, except for 4 games in the middle. Otherwise, the other 7 games are almost within 1 or 2 places each. Tennessee / Indiana 2. Georgia / 1. Ohio State 6. Alabama / 8. Penn State 7. Florida / 9. Michigan 18. Missouri / 12. Michigan State 28. UAB / 26. Northwestern 29. South Carolina / 61. Nebraska 32. Kentucky / 80. Maryland 51. BYU / 82.

Leathernecks Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Taking out the 4 mismatched games in the middle of the SP+ defensive comparison, here are the points each team scored against the comparable teams. Points scored are in parenthesis. As btown said, not a big fan of raw data either, but not going to get into more advanced things for each game listed. Don't want to spend 2 hours on it. Tennessee / Indiana 2. Georgia (14) / 1. Ohio State (10) 6. Alabama (13) / 8. Penn State (27) 7. Florida (3) / 9. Michigan (14) 18. Missouri (24) / 12. Michigan State (31) 28. UAB (30) / 26. Northwestern (34) 29. South Carolina (41) / 61. Nebraska (38) 32. Kentucky (17) / 80. Maryland (34) 51. BYU (16 in regulation, 29 after 2OT) / 82. Purdue (31 in regulation, 44 after 2OT) 58.
