I just did a little analysis of the "negative" plays UT has had this year. I counted a negative play as a (sack, run for a loss, penalty, or turnover). I may have missed a sack or two...or 10, but these are ball park #s. These do not count incomplete passes or runs for no gain. Scores include Field Goals. I got all this info off ESPN with the play by play breakdown and just hand totaled it up. Again, could be off by a little, but it is close enough.
Here is the game by game breakdown:
