Vols # 1 Defense in SEC after week 1.

[Monkey Wrench]

I don't disagree. However, I'm a UT fan and always smile when we are at the top of stats, especially considering what our D looked like last year. This is one week of the year that we can enjoy being there. I say enjoy it.

Don't forget we lead the league in interceptions for awhile last year!

I thought FL had better stats after week one..... Gave up zero yards....

Yea, but offense sucked. All they had was a return game. Any word on make up date yet?

I'm still not convinced that Georgia's defense is good. This is a Clemson team that just lost a QB, 2 WRs, OL to the draft, replacing a lot of key players on offense. I can see that Georgia's offense is definitely going to be good, no doubt about that. But like I said, I'm still in a wait-and-see with Georgia's defense.
It doesn't matter if you put 50 on the board if the opponent puts 51, as we saw with the 2012 Vols.

Plus, that game was tied or close to it early in the 4th. Dabo's team pulled another complete collapse!

This team 118 defense is FAST! They may struggle with big down hill running teams ie Bama, but they may match up well with spread offense. Open field tackling was better than I can remember. Only time will tell how good they really are but Sunday night they looked pretty dang good.

It's utah state.

and their qb would've gone for 200/100 and another rb over 100 against our d from last year

The defense was noticeably faster than in previous years. It was a nice sight to see.

and their qb would've gone for 300/250 and another rb over 100 against our d from last year

That just means we get to use their goofy formula and so we are actually first (since their QB was supposed to be a Heisman candidate and all)

No formula .. It's based on total yards given up.

It's nice to be listed #1 for something to take pride in

Catbone always has to find a negative. And it's getting old. Keaton would have shredded our D last year.

You sure that includes Vandy? :crazy: I thought their tune-up game with temple would have proved their defense was hands down the best we'll see all year! :dance2:_

Where's professional handicapper been lately? He may have bit the big one when Franklin left. We can always hope!:lolabove:
