You're misunderstanding how our offense works:
---Tennessee is averaging 79.25 offensive plays per game, the highest total in the SEC (tied for 19th nationally)
Our offense isn't designed around big plays but 3-4 yards here and there and move it down the field.

When we take the shots Worley miss fires, Croom gets out muscled, or we get picked.

Yup. The offense is adjusted to Worley's strengths as well as the oline's deficiencies - not enough time to throw/pick up open receivers downfield. It's not glamorous but it's efficient.

Some offensive stats for UT:
#109 in yards per play - #13 in SEC
#106 in Yards per rushing attempt - LAST IN SEC
#104 in yards per passing attempt - #13 in SEC
#74 in scoring offense - 28.5 PPG - #13 in SEC
They've had a pretty tough schedule, relatively speaking, but a good offense THEY ARE NOT.

Again you're not getting how this offense works. It's not designed for big pickups. It's designed to specifically grab 3-4 yards at a time.

28 points on offense would win the game for Tennessee on Saturday.

The goal of the offense is to move the ball and score. It has failed to do that effectively and consistently.
The stats back that up.
They've also given up 12 sacks in 4 games, LAST IN THE SEC, and 29 TFL for 147 lost yards - again, LAST IN THE SEC.
It is not a good offense right now.

Whatever dude, they've scored plenty, despite a shitty oline.

Yep, your offense is doing what it needs to do to compete at this current moment. Once your oline is rebuilt and gains depth your offense is gonna be scary.

Now let me say, Florida's offense has been garbage, and the QB play @ Alabama was really really bad, and if they have a similar performance in Knoxville, they will lose, maybe even badly.

TN gives up 23.8 pts per game.
UF gives up 24 pts per game.
Looks like Vols D is better.

The Tennessee defense has been better against the pass than Florida this year, mostly because UT hasn't blown coverages like UF has. When UF actually guards people, they do OK. They've just been lining up wrong all season, it's actually embarrassing as hell.
UF is better against the run.

This also affects the offensive numbers, not a ton but it sure doesn't help.
The offense has struggled but we did play OU and UGA as two of the games. Give how young this team is, facing the number 4 team in the country and the pre-season favorite to win the East using freshman will not usually yield great results.

Not to mention we've played 2 good teams while they've only played 1.

I say again:
#109 in yards per play - #13 in SEC
#106 in Yards per rushing attempt - LAST IN SEC
#104 in yards per passing attempt - #13 in SEC
#74 in scoring offense - 28.5 PPG - #13 in SEC
There is no argument that makes these stats go away. It's a mediocre offense that has actually LIVED off of big plays. Their only TD against OU? A big play. Two of their TD's against UGA? Big plays.

UT might easily score more than 28 against UF's bungling secondary, but you are arguing against blatant facts here, UT does not have a good offense.
I'm not even being a homer. They are last or second to last in the SEC in most offensive categories.

Our offense is fine - our oline sucks. You can put down stats all you like but the fact is we've been efficient and have done well in the games we've played, especially given the deficiencies of the oline. I don't care how we score as long as we score or how we get a first down as long as we get it.

Florida. Better OL and DL.
