Here's why Tennessee beats Aggy (I'm one-upping you, Hugh)

As I have said before, I think 10-R-C goes in dry because Aggy sucks. Here is a statistical breakdown as proof. scenarios.

Tenn: PPG - 33
Total Offense: #71 - 1908 yd – 382 ypg
Passing Offense: #77 – 1035 yd – 207 ypg
Rushing Offense: #55 – 873 yd – 174.6 ypg
Passing Defense: #63 – 1059 yd – 211.8 ypg
Rushing Defense: #64 – 745 yd – 149 ypg
Total Defense: #60 – 1804 yd – 360 ypg

Aggy: PPG – 39.2 (remove PVAMU = 32.25)
Total Offense: #10 - 2605 yards – 521 ypg
Passing Offense: #33 – 1312 yd – 262.4 ypg
Rushing Offense: #9 – 1293- yd – 258.6 ypg
Passing Defense: #98 – 1267 yd – 253.4 ypg
Rushing Defense: #52 – 674 yd – 134.8 ypg
Total Defense: #74 – 1941 yd – 388 ypg

[Numbers in brackets are from the game between A&M or Tennessee.]

Aggy Opponents:

UCLA: W 31-24 OT [PPG 28.2]
Total Offense: #50 - 2124 yds – 425 ypg [468]
Passing Offense: #20 – 1530 yd – 305.6 ypg [343]
Rushing Offense: #110 – 596 yd – 119.2 ypg [125]
Passing Defense: #36 – 930 yd – 186 ypg [239]
Rushing Defense: #84 – 850 yd – 170 ypg [203]
Total Defense: #56 – 1780 yd – 356 ypg [442]

Aggy allowed UCLA to put up more yards on offense, but Aggy was able to run and pass way more than UCLA usually allows. Aggy offense was strong in this game, and the Aggy defense held UCLA under it's point per game average.

Aggy is balanced on offense and UCLA sucks.

PVAMU: W 67-0


Total Offense: [206]
Passing Offense: [173]
Rushing Offense: [32]
Passing Defense: [395]
Rushing Defense: [277]
Total Defense: [672]

Okay, next.

Auburn: W 29-16 [PPG 31.2]
Total Offense: #20 - 2443 yd – 489 ypg [399]
Passing Offense: #68 – 1094 yd – 218.8 ypg [163]
Rushing Offense: #6 – 1349 yd – 269.3 ypg [236]
Passing Defense: #53 – 1012 yd – 202.4 ypg [247]
Rushing Defense: #71 – 780 yd – 156 ypg [231]
Total Defense: #58 – 1782 yd – 358 ypg [478]

Aggy held Auburn nearly 100 yards lower than average in both passing and rushing. Aggy defense appears to have been stronger than other opponents Auburn faced. Aggy also held Auburn to half the points they normally score. Auburn gave up over 100 yards more than on average.

Aggy runs the ball well on Auburn, and Auburn is average.

Arkansas: W 45-24 [PPG 36]
Total Offense: #36 - 2217 yd – 443 ypg [491]
Passing Offense: #45 – 1232 yd – 246.4 ypg [371]
Rushing Offense: #40 – 985 yd – 197 ypg [120]
Passing Defense: #62 – 1055 yd – 211 ypg [225]
Rushing Defense: #82 – 817 yd – 163.4 ypg [366]
Total Defense: #65 – 1872 yd – 374 ypg [591]

Arkansas passed all over Aggy, but was held 12 points below average points per game. Aggy's defense also held Arky well below average on the ground. Arky gave up over 200 more yards than on average, especially through on the ground.

Aggy runs all over Arky and stops them from scoring. Arky is okay, but not great.

South Carolina: W 24-13 [PPG 14]
Total Offense: #115 - 1509 yd – 302 ypg [378]
Passing Offense: #88 – 985 yd – 197 ypg [217]
Rushing Offense: #119 – 524 yd – 104.8 ypg [161]
Passing Defense: #51 – 1009 yd – 201.8 ypg [206]
Rushing Defense: #103 – 1010 yd – 202 ypg [216]
Total Defense: #80 – 2019 yd – 404 ypg [422]

South Carolina held Aggy to fewer points that Aggy's average with that stiff Cock defense, but on offense the Cocks just can't seem to punch it in. (Cocks need to score more.)

Cocks can't score. Cocks suck (or suck cocks. You pick.)

Tenn Opponents:

Appalachian State: W 20-13 OT [PPG 23.2]
Total Offense: #76 – 1896 yd – 379 ypg [292]
Passing Offense: #107 – 831 yd – 166 ypg [108]
Rushing Offense: #28 – 1065 yd – 213 ypg [184]
Passing Defense: #96 – 1252 yd – 250.4 ypg [192]
Rushing Defense: #50 – 669 yd – 133.8 ypg [127]
Total Defense: #73 – 1921 yd – 384 ypg [319]

Tennessee held App State to 10 fewer points than average. Tenn really shut down App's pass offense. On the flip side, App held Dobbs below average passing.

These were two evenly matched teams (at the time).
It was the first game and App really wanted it, so Tenn gets a pass.

Miami destroyed App State45-10. They suck.

Virginia Tech: W 45-24 [PPG 40.3]
Total Offense: #89 – 1798 yd – 449 ypg [400]
Passing Offense: #82 – 1014 yd – 253.5 ypg [214]
Rushing Offense: #75 – 752 yd – 195.5 ypg [186]
Passing Defense: #5 – 603 yd – 150.8 ypg [91]
Rushing Defense: #17 – 454 yd – 113.5 ypg [239]
Total Defense: #5 – 1057 yd – 254 ypg [330]

The story on this game is Tenn's defense shut VT down and held to over 2 TDs below their average. VT shut Dobbs down well below VT's average on pass defense.

Tennessee's defense stopped VT from scoring.

VT has played power houses such as Liberty, Boston College, and East Carolina. They haven't proved much.

Ohio: W 28-19 [PPG 32.8]
Total Offense: #46 – 2158 yd – 432 ypg [318]
Passing Offense: #59 – 1156 yd – 231.2 ypg [230]
Rushing Offense: #36 – 1002 yd – 200.4 ypg [88]
Passing Defense: #89 – 1210 yd – 242 ypg [203]
Rushing Defense: #29 – 556 yd – 111.2 ypg [201]
Total Defense: #54 – 1766 yd – 353 ypg [404]

Tennessee's run defense slammed the door on Ohio, and held them to nearly 2 TDs below their scoring average.

Tennessee's defense was the difference.

Ohio lost in 3OT to a team coached by DENNIS MOTHERfrickING FRANCHIONE.

Florida: W 38-28 [PPG 28.4]
Total Offense: #58 – 2096 yd – 407 ypg [402]
Passing Offense: #45 – 1232 yd – 246.4 ypg [296]
Rushing Offense: #70 – 804 yd – 160.8 ypg [106]
Passing Defense: #10 – 699 yd – 139.8 ypg [319]
Rushing Defense: #16 – 453 yd – 90.6 ypg [179]
Total Defense: #7 – 1152 yd – 230 ypg [498]

Dobbs went in dry on a top 10 defenses (allegedly). On closer inspection, Florida's other opponents so far have been Umass, Kentucky, North Texas, and Vanderbilt. Murder's row right there.

Conclusion. Florida sucks.

Georgia: W 34-31 [PPG 26.4]
Total Offense: #56 - 2044 yd – 409 ypg [392]
Passing Offense: #71 – 1076 yd – 215.2 ypg [211]
Rushing Offense: #41 – 968 yd – 193.6 ypg [181]
Passing Defense: #88 – 1203 yd – 240.6 ypg [230]
Rushing Defense: #55 – 686 yd – 137.2 ypg [127]
Total Defense: #70 – 1889 yd – 378 ypg [357]

I just can't explain this one with stats. Georgia scored more than usual.

Georgia has no real quality wins and Ole Miss has been charged with sexual assault for the 45-14 pounding they put on Georgia. But Georgia does have a quality win over NC. Georgia is average, and highly inconsistent.



Overall conclusion, Tennessee is the better team and will likely beat Aggy by at least 10 points. They beat Florida and Georgia, who are both not good teams, but still have more talent than any team Aggy has faced, save Auburn (but AU's coach is retarded, so there's that).

There's also the hoodoo voodoo element of Aggy being shitty when Gameday shows up.


33-21 Vols.
