After week 2 these are the summarized stats for offense and defense. With a top ten defense and a top ten offense, the Vols look like playoff contenders so far.

Looks like the pick six we gave up to NC State temporarily messed up our scoring defense stat.

Why does a pick 6 count against the defense?

Why does a pick 6 count against the defense?

Because that would require understanding the data. It’s easier to copy and paste without thought.

Why does a pick 6 count against the defense?

I would assume the programs are made to just take the overall score of a game and not dig into how those points were scored.

How could a pick 6 be applied to the offense --subtract a touchdown and yardage? What if the offense was shut out?
