Tennessee lost the Time of possession badly

Tonite.

Vols had the ball less than 17 minutes.

You’ll have that when you score on several long runs. Total domination and loved every minute of it.

 

[apevol]

Berardino will consider this game a loss

Tonite.

Had you rather win time of possession or win the game?

 

[vanillagorilla]

That tends to happen when you score on 1 play.

So? They scored zero points

He seems to think that's bad

 

[CascadeVolunteer]

How many 1 play scores did we have. I think 3. That will do it.
Who cares. The stat that matters is TN 63- VU 0

Vandy can go to bed tonight knowing they won the time of possession. Sleep well Commodedores! They are also welcome to be honorary fans for the Tennessee team that is going to a bowl this year.

LOL

I think we had a 12 second drive, 13 second drive,14 second drive, 29 second drive and a punt return for TD. First drive was 1:03 too.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

Vandy also had more first downs

 

[omghulkhands]

Take off your orange-tinted glasses and put some blue-tinted ones on. I think you'll find his post reads much differently then.

 

[wmcovol]

LOL

I think we had a 12 second drive, 14 second drive, 2 other drives under 30 seconds and a punt return for TD. First drive was 1:03 too.

Defense was gassed too

 

[DuckInAPen]

We were warned last year in this very forum about the problems that scoring so fast would cause us. If only someone had been able to get the message to Coach Heupel!

 

[supersmo18]

because we won. Same thing as in the UK game last year. Had the ball like 13 min or something absurd like that and still won. TOP is an overblown stat when you have a team and offense like ours.

 

[TennTom]

Time of possession is the most useless stat of all stats.

[spyfish007]

This is exactly how stats can lie. You have to use your brain and see beyond the numbers. For the record I am a math and numbers guy. Always remember the big picture.

Please tell me this is satire. I can't tell anymore.

 

[volfanhill]

Not at all. That's a dumb take

 

[DuckInAPen]

Please tell me this is satire. I can't tell anymore.

It's plainly satire.

I still love Chip Kelly's old quote about winning the TOP:
"It just means you're great at standing around."

 

[SAPPER 5]

LOL. "Lost!"
