Vols Big Play Tracker 2024 (Updated after Kent State)

What about sacks and/or TFLs of 5+ yards? I’m worried this could get “too big” if we do all sacks and/or all TFLs.

Edit: Meaning sacks of 1-4 yards wouldn’t be reported.
Its your work, so you have the final vote, but I would say the 5+ yards is a good place to start.

I think we had more big plays in this game than the Chattanooga one! Updating soon.

As many of you know, I am a big fan of making trackers. I had great expectations for our ability to connect on deep bombs last season, but we ended up falling short of my expectations.

This season, I am confident we will not be as dependent on bombs, but instead will be methodical and break off big chunks. For that reason, this year, I plan on tracking:
  1. Rushes of 15+ yards
  2. Passes of 20+ yards
  3. Kick Returns of 40+ yards
  4. Punt Returns of 20+ yards
  5. Sacks/TFLs of 5+ yards
  6. Defensive Turnovers (INT, Fumble Recoveries, 4th down stops)
  7. Special Teams Turnovers

-Sampson runs of 12, 13, 14, 14TD
-Hunter Barnes runs of 12, 14
-Nico run of 12
-2 Nico passes (Matthews for 17, Staes for 16)
-2 Gaston passes (Kitselman for 15 TD, Matthews for 18 TD)

Honorable Mentions
-N/A

JUST MISSED IT
-Pearce denied his first sack by obvious holding.

Other
-Since the post-safety kickoff was from the 20 due to the safety, I counted Mike Matthews 32-yard kick return as a big play, since a touchback is not feasible from that location

I am tracking:
  1. Rushes of 15+ yards
  2. Passes of 20+ yards
  3. Kick Returns past 40 yard line
  4. Punt Returns of 20+ yards
  5. Sacks/TFLs of 5+ yards

Thanks for doing this. I love to look at stuff like this, and am admittedly either too lazy or busy or both to do it.

Kick Returns past the UT 40 yard line
Modified kick return metric to reflect kicks returned past the 40. In the case of Mike Matthews post-safety kick return, he fielded at the 20, and returned it 32 yards, all the way into Kent State Territory, but it wouldn't have qualified under my rules before.
