Our last game was against an opponent ranked last in Run D giving up and average of 275 per game. Gators ran for only 168 and one of those was a 75 yarder.
I don't have a lot of confidence in our run game, but would LOVE to see us run the ball successfully against UK.
Those ut defensive numbers are probably a little skewed based on the GT game in week 1. The triple option is brutal to defend. Not dismissing the stat entirely, but it will probably even out a little over time.
Having said that, what bothered me was the fact that it was widely known and discussed that the edges were the vols' weak point, and the GT game confirmed that. Yet aside from Thompson's one run and Davis' long run, it seemed like we, again and again, tried running into the teeth of the defense, rather than around it. So I think the talent and ability are there. The problem is our staff having the foresight to create an offensive gameplan that makes sense.
Can't remember if this was supposed to be a positive post or negative post. But yeah..
