You can count them during the game. Just be sure and remove your shoes and socks.

I don't know about the 51 sacks record,but I would be tickled to death if we could average 3-3.5 per game. I hope for more but this would be a nice increase from the past few years.

Based on last year's FBS sack stats (see Sacks - NCAA.com), three sacks per game would put you in the top 10 nationally; 3.5/game would land you in the top three. With Clowney, South Carolina had 43 sacks in 13 games, which led all SEC teams and was good enough for 5th nationally. A more realistic goal would be to approach the numbers achieved by Butch's last two teams at Cincinnati; the 2012 squad had 30 sacks (42nd) and the 2011 team was 2nd in the country with 45 sacks (http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/natlRank.jsp?year=2011&rpt=IA_teamsacks&site=org&div=IA&dest=O), for a 3.46 sacks/game average.

12 because you guys have no idea how hungry this team is nor how hurt that they are labeled the worst defense in Tennessee history. They will come out like rabid dogs ganging up on a trapped cottontail. This defense is genuinely butt hurt and mad to boot. By the mid 2nd quarter Austin will Peay in their pants.

I hope you're right but I hope they don't use it all up on AP. We're gonna need that attitude and anger for the whole year, every single game.

If they're to take ownership of the present and make the past a distant memory, and I think they can, they're going to have to bring it and bring it as one team, one unit, all season long.

Probably about 5 for the austin peay game. The 4-3 defense will produce more sacks this year than last. Id estimate about 30 for the season.

Knowing the mis matches that will take place, I am sure the Austin Peay coach will have the q.b. get rid of the ball real quickly. Either hand offs to a r.b. or a quick 10 yard pass to get rid of the ball.

Maybe one receiver runs a long route and one stays in the short or intermediate range to help get the q.b. out of bad situations.

I say the sacks will not be 10!!!

If they are not down to their 4th string quarterback midway through the first quarter and pulling ushers out of the stands to come in during the second half, the D line performance will be a complete disappointment IMO
