15th D of 16 in SEC

[WiseOlVol]

We lead the SEC in sacks (15) but only Kentucky (417) gives up more ypg. than us (372).

This year is going to be a wild one.

Very similar to ‘22. However we HOPEFULLY have 2 starting DL and 1 starting CB coming back to help.

I think a lot of our success on D will come down to McCoy returning. The rumors are he may not come back and just prepare for the NFL, but AP mentioned he would be interested if we have something to play for, which we do currently.

If we can take care of business and win out until Bama then I’m hoping we get to see him in orange the rest of the year from there.

We're averaging like 550 or 600 yds a game, so im good.

Ok. And?

 

[BradstarVols]

Tennessee's offense scores so quick and isn't on the field very long at all, so the opposing offenses get a lot more snaps against our D when compared to other teams. Just something to keep in mind.

I'd like to point out that not many teams have played a team as tough as UGA and I'd also like to know how many yards are in garbage time when the game is over.

The D definitely ain't as good as last year but it's still stout imo. Injuries on the D Line and at CB has really hurt us. I hold out hope we get McCoy back by Bama. I have no idea if we see Gibson again

There is a reason your post has zero likes. You
obviously pay very little attention to our team.

we hung 40 on Georgia. there's not a team left on our schedule we cannot outscore.

Exactly

Exactly, we are going way faster than we did last season on Offense. Our Run D and Pass Rush is stout. Our glaring issue is CB.

Our offense is really good. Maybe better than 2022.

Our defense - with these injuries - is bad. Really bad at times. Once we get back some players and get some improvement on defense . . . We could be scary good.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I hope we get Moi and Hobbs back in the next couple weeks at least. Not holding out hope for McCoy, and Gibson is out for the year.

So it's confirmed Gibson is out for the season?

Damn that sucks

100%

I don’t think it’s been officially confirmed, but each time I’ve heard his name mentioned in the Volquest updates, they pretty much say not to expect him back this season

 

[Carp]

Where are we ranked on a per play basis? That's the number you gotta look at. I would estimate our opponents are averaging and extra 2 possessions per game minimum due to how quick we score. That's naturally going to create more yardage.

I’d say Syracuse and UGA put up legit yards on us but UAB got yards against the scrubs and same with ETSU

 

[Blackburn]

We've also played almost every backup and walk on in 2 of 4 games this season. Stats don't really tell the full story in this case, IMO. If we'd left the starters in against ETSU and UAB these stats would look much better but I think getting the other players on our team some game reps is much more important than trying to please stat gazers.

We will get better as our hurt defenders come back and guys playing now grow. The good thing is we have an offense

May see them Saturday but def. Vs Arkansas. The same w/ Sanders though that’s my opinion.

Nobody likes bad news. Defense wins championships.

 

[Gandalf]

We get healthy corners back in the game and that number will drop fast IMO

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

And yet we've looked better against Georgia than any Heupel team and looked good against our gimmes too, one of which just dominated Clemson in Howard's House of Rock. If we get some key players back at the right time and the defense can improve marginally here and there as a result, this will be our best team in 20 years or more by a significant margin.

TL;DR: I ain't worried! Concerned, maybe, but not worried.

Heard he might make it back if we get into playoffs. Iffy. But
