re: Sorry Vols but Heupel is fake news:

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.

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.
