It looked like busted assignments in the secondary that can be fixed for the most part. The troublesome thing to me was not being able to get an ounce of pressure on their QB.

Interesting tidbit...UMASS scored a total of 12 points in their 4 games combined last year (an average of 3 points per game). So, they scored more than 2x their average from last year against Pitt in the opener.
Pitt's defense completely shut down UMASS...but who hasn't lately.
Points per game and FBS scoring offense ranking:
2019 - 19.8 - 118th out of 130
2020 - 3.0 - 128th out of 128
Pitt's offense rang up UMASS...but then again...
Opponent points per game and fbs scoring def ranking:
2019 - 52.7 - 130th out of 130
2020 - 40.2 - 123rd out of 128
Now let's look at Bowling Green to compare
Points per game and scoring offense ranking:
2019 - 16.0 - 128th out of 130
2020 - 11.4 - 127th out of 128
Opponents points per game and fbs def scoring ranking:
2019 - 38.6 - 126th out of 130
2020 - 45.0 - 127th out of 128
These two teams are worse than decent FCS opponents would have been. This just goes to show the ineptitude of Tennessee's offense in the first half. Bowling Green owned time of possession and yardage in the 2nd quarter.
Both UT and Pitt played the Sisters of the Blind in their openers...only UT's was actually competitive for 1 half.

I am flabbergasted that our line against NC State opened as a pick em.
I would never put money on a game with leach. He’s just as likely to get blanked by Kentucky as he is to nearly upsetting UGA with 50 scholarship players. I wouldn’t be surprised if he beat NC State.
