Interesting stat from last year

There's always so much talk about the speed of a Mike Bajakian offense. Cincy ran 863 plays last year (in 13 games). #Vols ran 890 in 12.

That's probably because our defense was on the field about 3 plays before giving the other team a TD

 

[eloist]

I think this is b/c our defense was usually only on the field for 4 plays, then we were receiving a post TD kickoff.


:crazy:


EDIT: DANG! BEAT ME TO IT! hahaha

 

[1972 Grad]

Tennessee threw 30 more incomplete passes than Cincinnati.

 

[Boca Vol]

You have to look at how many plays were ran in correlation to TOP.

 

[TVA]

CBJ will slow down the action if his team gets comfortably ahead. He doesn't want to burn them out unnecessarily. Remember, Cincy won 10 games last year. He must have had the luxury of letting them slow down.

 

[Biopsyman]

Sal had a Fast break defense

 

[Smoked Cheddar]

not sure what the inference is here? Good or bad?

The point of the quote is that Cincy wasn't faster than us.

But in actuality they weren't. We had a much greater TOP than they did I would bet

Vols total possession in minutes was 323:41.

Cincy total possession in minutes was 373:18.

Looks like we played faster, but Cincy ran the ball 80 more times than us, so that accounts for the variability.

Likely ran more because they had comfortable leads.

In my Pea brained mind, it will be awesome to see our offense controlling the tempo. It's easy to slow down, much harder to speed up tempo if players aren't conditioned for it. It's going to be fun to watch, win or lose. There won't be much give up coached this season.GBO

It's because our defense didnt feel like playing last year.

That u Small Mike? oh wait nevermind he is cattleman

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Tennessee threw 30 more incomplete passes than Cincinnati.

On how many more attempts?

 

[tnvols72]

and everybody thought we had a slow Def.

 

[Vols4us]

I know most folks don't realize it just yet, but we are back to pounding the rock. That is a happy, happy, happy thing.

 

[VolPride14]

Compare it to Oregon.

 

[GrowVol]

Seemed as if 800 of our plays were hail mary's., all or nothings

 

[Howie54]

Was scared to open the thread just knew it was about APR.

We had a 4 OT game against Mizzou and a barn-burner with Troy that was probably the equivalent of two games- worth of plays.

I didn't think so. One of our DBs (and sometimes more) was almost always the first one to the end zone after the score. People need to watch the games! :crazy:

I noticed this a while ago. All the talk about the uptempo offense has confused me. Jones never averaged 70 plays per game at Cincinnati. I don't think they were ever in the Top 50.
