Tennessee lost the Time of possession badly

[BigOrange15]

TOP is borderline irrelevant with a tempo offense like this.

 

[Mccage]

We scored 3.2 pts a minute. Daaammmnn!!!

 

[mscc1998]

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

Exactly! Last I checked, T. O. P. does not win games, TOUCHDOWNS do.

 

[mscc1998]

I don't know why this is even a issue. We shut out our Intrastate rival.

 

[Majors]

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

definitely cuts the time of possession down by a few mins

When you score a td on your 4 play of the game, things like this happen.

TOP with today's offenses is an overrated statistic

The problem with scoring fast is fans missing scores while unprofessional announcers play with their laser pointers.

And RUINED their hopes for a bowl game!

Vanderbilt packed it in after the win over Florida they acted like that was a Bowl win

That is why you have to have depth and talent on defense if your team is going to score quickly every time they get the ball.

He trying to divert attention away from his team .

I wondered if our offense broke a sweat last night (during the game).

TOP with today's offenses is an overrated statistic

Especially when, as they pointed out on SEC Network, you have 4 TD drives of less than 30 seconds. A burden I am sure CJH is OK with. Not flashy passing stats in the rain, but his arm strength forces defenses to defend our wideouts which we put near the boundaries and cuts down on their run support capabilities in the middle of the field. Hoping for a good bowl prep and good weather to get a more accurate picture of where Joe really is with this offense. We don't have a clue what he could have done in have to situations, there were none after the first 55 seconds and especially after the punt return. For sure he did not have any bad decisions I saw, or ever put the ball in jeopardy of being picked off, which I tend to believe is priority 1 with CJH's rules of the game. Underthrow and you provide better opportunity for defenses to get takeaways.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I remember when that stat actually was important
My but how the game has changed.

 

[Creekcat]

And remember Vandy had possession for over 43 minutes and couldn't score.

 

[LargeOrange1]

Tonite.

Vols had the ball less than 17 minutes.

 

[Volador]

 

[Cartervol]

Well you can't say we didn't give them enough time then..

 

[Volfan2012]

We always do most drives for us are four or five plays. Vandy like 15 plays to get thirty yards.
