It needs to be considered that Arkansas came into their game today versus USC with the SEC's 13th-best passing offense, averaging 175.3 passing yards per game. This is what makes Arkansas "too one dimensional"...

The SEC's 14th-best passing offense? Tennessee. Will the Vols be able to prevent the same issues on offense that Arkansas presented to South Carolina next week?

Arkansas came into their game vs USC with the 4th-best rushing offense in the SEC (216.0 ypg)- UT has the 7th-best (211.0 ypg).

Arkansas had the 6th-best passing defense (UT has the 10th), the 4th-best rushing defense (UT has the 11th), and the 5th-best scoring defense (UT has the 12th-best).

Will the Vols be able to present a better gameplan to USC next Saturday than what Arkansas presented today?

I wonder what would happen to these stats if Arky played Oregon in Eugene.

I'm still trying to figure out wtf a. "signature win" is .. VN is the only place I've ever seen the term, and it seems everyone freaks out about the elusive "signature win" and when it will come, must be like Bigfoot, or anything on the show Rivermonsters .. What every happened to a good win for the program ??

Well, looking at the wins we have been hanging our hats on, most are against teams most folks still have trouble knowing the conference, mascot, home town, and uniform color. A signature win is against someone you do not have to google to know that information.

I've seen it all over...they mentioned it on ESPN after our last game.

I'm also not that concerned about it...it will come when it comes.

If we play like we did against Georgia, yes we will beat them. Worley has the potential to be better than Allen. We also have better receivers. You can post all the stats you want but Arkansas is a pretty much one dimensionsal team who lives and dies by Collins.

Our defnse creates more turnovers and I believe is better than theirs. Our defense would have a lot better stats if were not for Oregon.

Lol nice, it's probably different for others but to me it's beating a team that has more talent, ranked and are favored to win. I guess people talk about them because it's assumed if you can beat teams with coaching when your talent is down then all will be ok once we are back to a high talent level.

This is one occasion where stats can get you into trouble if you are too shallow.

Arkansas' hasn't shown any notable signs of consistent improvement. Last week they were held to 164 yds on 43 attempts by UF. Worley threw for 149 in one half on 23 attempts with UF knowing UT had to throw.

If you look at UT's passing game over the season, you see a pretty steady progression as they continue to install the O and gain confidence/experience.

My short answer is that I think UT is better prepared to exploit USC's weaknesses than Arkansas was. And BTW, UT has virtually no experience at WR but has MUCH more talent there than Arkansas.

That's kind of deceiving since APSU may be better than both Samford and USM. UT has to remain balanced to be effective though.

Arkansas had the 6th-best passing defense (UT has the 10th),

Oregon, a game in which the Vols just absolutely laid an egg, skews that stat ALOT. Minus that game, UT would be allowing 194.8 ypg which would be 3rd in the SEC. The season is young but vs the SEC... UT ranks 3rd in passing ypg. That's not really a cheap stat though since UGA has the 2nd ranked passing O in the SEC.

the 4th-best rushing defense (UT has the 11th),

True. Competition is again a factor but UT needs to do a better job.
and the 5th-best scoring defense (UT has the 12th-best).

This one is highly misleading due to Oregon. W/O Oregon, UT is around 4th in the SEC in scoring D. It hasn't taken nearly that much fire power to hang points on Arkansas.

We would hope so... but the fact is that UT has better personnel than Arkansas. You need to go deeper than just surface level with the stats.
