What ticked me off about our loss to Tennessee Saturday was how our defense performed.
I'm not an Xs and Os guy, I played baseball and basketball through high school. But as I understand it, Heupel's offense is in some ways a souped up version of what Leach runs. Uses the edges, nickel and dime passes quickly up the field.
What bothers me about that is we played Mississippi State the week prior. So if my premise is correct, the defense should have been more prepared than they looked. I've never seen such a lopsided TOP stat. We put up 600+ yds of offense, 42 pts, I think had the ball 38 min of the game, and still lost by 3.
I'll admit it, the Vols offense was impressive to watch. Just crisp and precise.

Against Kentucky, Mississippi State averaged 8.8 yards per pass...Tennessee averaged 15.8. Not yards per completion...yards per attempt. Mississippi State threw 39 passes and completed 36. Tennessee threw right at half as many passes, and only had 30 fewer passing yards. UT was going over the top whenever they could. MSU was nickle and diming.
On the other side of the field...I think this was Levis' longest completion of the day by about 25 yards.

Pretty obvious you're not an X's and O's guy. Leach's pass O is all about spacing, and exploiting it. They struggled greatly last year against zone D's. Now this year, with Rogers going the whole way they've played better, but they need an accurate QB to succeed against teams dropping back in zone. Tennessee's O is simple, we lineup quick to get matchups and we make teams pick what they want to give up. It helps having playmakers such as V Jones, Payton, and Tillman, but basically the defense doesn't have much time to disguise coverages. That and we run the ball, but more than that, make a point of running the ball better than MSU.
Also, you had the ball for over 46 minutes of game time.
