I mean, they've been able to outscore whomever they played so it hasn't become an issue.

Our defense is shite coated shite with shite filling.

We also landed on the moon, just so you're up to date on current events

Defense is good enough when the offense is scoring 40+ every game

Our pass D blows. Our run D is pretty good. Our pass rush isn't great, but ok at times.

What works well for us is our Run D has been stout. No one’s been able to lineup and just run to grind the clock. And while our Pass D has given up yards, they’ve also came in clutch at certain times.

Our D can get a few stops each game. Our Offense has only punted 3 times in 3 SEC games. When you math….it works out.

Giving up 3 yards a carry, top 15 in TFL only giving up 23 points a game.

Are you under the impression that we think that our defense is good?

The win was not a fluke. Tennessee outplayed Alabama for much of the game. But there’s outplayed and then there’s outplayed. This wasn’t a case of Tennessee’s “A” game being superior to Alabama’s “A” game; it was more like a case of UT’s “A” game besting the Tide’s “C+” game. As Seth notes, a little better game management at the end, and it’s likely we’d all be talking about another narrow escape for Saban’s team.

The passing game will sputter a few times if you can’t rely on the run.

Bama wasn’t able to run very effectively even though Bryce Young played hero ball.

Tennessee’s offense so far has not been stopped more than a handful of times. If the defense is good for an equivalent number of stops then that’s good enough to win.

Before the "Great Gump Smackdown Heard 'Round The World", you'd be surprised at how many times I heard Gumps claiming that "we're all predicting a tennessee win", when in reality I only saw General Heisman saying that.

People make assumptions.

I hear this crap every year from KY fans.

Even in the best years of your history, which dovetailed with our worst, you hardly ever got the W.

This year? You don't stand a chance. There is no way you can keep up, and no way you're grinding out anything against the run D that just essentially shut down Alabama.

We play in the WLOCP Saturday after next. Don't be so quick to wish your life away. You've still got 2 games to play before you get Between the Hedges.

Turns out there were two correct answers to this question.

TBQH I haven't really seen Georgia this year other than the Missouri game. How many Rushing yards can a tight end have?

As long as you can outscore anyone, defense is adequate.

But if the offense has a bad day, will the defense have a good day?

We'll see.

So far, Tennessee's defense has been good enough. They are 7-0 after all.
