Check back in 1 week.

So, if we extrapolate, Tennessee can run the ball score as well as stop the opponent's run game and scoring. I guess this comes from Tennessee having such commanding leads that have forced AP and WKU to abandon the run and throw it around with aplomb. I guess the scary stat is the 12th in total offense against two very sub-par opponents.

If they weren't good, I'd be very concerned. We've played a bad FCS team and an average at best Sun Belt team.

How dare you clutter up this thread with common sense.

Hey guys take it easy. Let's enjoy it.

We are also one of two teams that are undefeated in the SEC east

Last week we were assured by folks whose posts are about as negative as yours that WKU was a quality opponent about to play UT close or even beat the Vols.

Now that UT smacked them around pretty good... suddenly they aren't a quality opponent.

Don't care which way you go... but a little consistency would be real nice.

Why can't you guys just enjoy what we have accomplished... Ut fans always look at the negatives. Our team has improved, they play as a team, rush to the ball, tackle, and play with intensity. Congrats to our defense don't let these Debbie downers ruin what your doing

Amen. Alot of people on this board were talking upset or close game.

An atrocious team like Austin Peay and an elite team like Oregon willbalance each other out. Most other teams in SEC wont play teams as good or as bad. They will be middle of pack statistically and we will be right there.

Because we have one of the dumbest most negative fan bases around, just look around this board!

We haven't played a good team and we are 12th in passing offense and 9th in passing defense in the SEC.

That is scary...

If you watched the last two games, there hasn't been a reason to throw the ball much (as far as the offense goes).

Spot on. We have needed to work on rushing attack and change our offensive players mentalities. Get out of those games injury free. Then with Oregon and Florida seeing little then test them with the pass.

I will give you we have not had to throw much in the first two games. The running game has been clicking.

What about that 9th in passing defense?

When you win 45-0 and 52-20 the other team tends to pass more to play catch up. Usually this happens against some back ups. Nothing to stress just yet.

This...all day long. As I stated in another thread, it's funny how we heard that this WK team is better than last year's Troy team, had several NFL players, and an offensive genius as a coach. Now, they suck after a beat down.

People amaze me. Can't enjoy anything and want to find the worst in every situation.

 

[lawgator1]

Seriously? After you play games against Austin Peay and WKU, whereas UGA played Clemson and USCe, Florida played Miami, and other teams played some decent opponents?

Insanity.

I'm sure if we beat Oregon you will hear a lot from Vol fans about how they are overrated and the Gators are still going to beat us in the swamp.
