As weird as it sounds I swear this loss feels better than a 51-50 win would feel! If Barnes has taught us anything he’s Taught us these games mean zilch…. It’s what you do in March that matters and tonight makes me feel better about this team than a 51-50 would!! GBO

For the all teams struggle on 3rd and long crowd I looked at Mizz in the last two years. The destroyed us in this stat as they were 34.5% successful this year and 36% successful a year ago. We were below 30% both years There is no doubt stats can be misleading at times but in this case it’s...

No 4th down wasn’t counted and yea CJH was really good on 4th down last year This year he’s been awful and made some head scratching decisions

Lots of “well everyone struggles with 3rd and long” yes that’s true BUT to what degree?? That’s the point of this topic. I’m not going to have time to go back and look at all the SEC teams but I have chosen Mizzu to look at. Last year they went 6-7… I’ll get this years stats shortly when...

Well maybe we should talk about the fact we only score about half our seasons average when we play good teams ??? So yea we need to adapt to close the gap of our competitors for sec titles

No doubt the Vols offense is in 3rd and long Much less than our opponents. So that’s great but what I want to know is can CJH evolve? I remember it being discussed when we hired him the passing offense was based off throws on the LOS and deep shots. There has always been a void in the middle...

The simple facts are this offenses weakness is 3rd and long. Other styles have more success than we do in those situations and let’s hope CJH can evolve to improve that weakness

bingo

Lol and yea CJH was chasing pts in those games as well but you know that

By the way many of 3rd and long conversions were on runs both years

If you think CJH wasn’t chasing pts when he was way ahead last year you aren’t thinking clearly… Remember mizzu ??

The stat that is crazy to me is how good we are after being 2nd and long. Even this years team is way better than our opponents and I thought 2nd and 8 was a death sentence

Just to clarify we aren’t better on 3rd and long this year We are better on 3rd down overall. We are slightly worse on 3rd and long Imo that’s because Joe is an awful runner. I don’t recall a 3rd and long scramble for a 1st down all year. Another reason might be we get absolutely no Pass...

I gave that Both teams had the same amount of 3rd and longs Exactly the same at this point but of course there are two games left

I could go back and look closer but Milton was really good a year ago in the mop duty on 3rd and long. I know he had a handful of our successes.
