How does the defense get fixed moving forward?

[Stephen Gray]

Good point. Haven’t found stats for this year yet. But last year the offense averaged 70 plays per game and defense was on field for average of 77 plays per game. That was third most in the country.

Some other interesting metrics to look at could be like pointers per play. It the defense is taking a lot more snaps and staying on the field how effective are they on a play by play basis and how does it change through the game? Obviously dudes are gonna be more tired later on, which is not a new concept by any stretch, but looking at how both sides of the ball do on a per snap basis versus in more traditional balanced systems might be interesting.

It was a bad game let it go now. Coaches job to get both sides ready I am sure they will. We are still 9-2, we have fought hard all year and nobody threw games. The folks even insinuating that, you SUCK. They had a bad game, South Carolina had a great game. We may have even had the distraction on our mind but we didn’t throw the game. People on the outside will say anything to make themselves feel big or think they are important on a message board. GBO!

Points per play is the one I like most for our style of play

Pay them more NiL so they quit betting on the opponent.

Your slanderous comments SUCK. Bring proof or turn in your Vol Card! Folks like you just make up crap with nothing to back it up. Pathetic

Banks and Martinez. Start there.

They get paid for results....and their results do NOT justify their salaries imo.

It is what it is...

For Vandy, more of the same. Defense played 77 plays (exactly their average for the year). On field almost 44 game minutes. Offense only 53 plays, a little over 16 game minutes. Didn’t seem to matter. Shut them out.

It doesn't we have to hope it will be better in 2023.

14 of our 23 high school commits are defense. Portal ratio should be the same.

Recruiting and better coaching are equally important. .

Defense played pretty good last night. Pitched a shutout!GBO!
