Tennessee's Defense:

Tennessee’s defense gave up more yards in five games than Alabama has all year

Bob Shoops signed a three-year contract with Tennessee this offseason that will pay him $1.15 million annually. The Vols’ defensive performance over their past five SEC games might not be what Butch Jones was hoping for.

Tennessee has given up 2,886 yards of offense in its last five games against SEC opponents. In Saturday’s win, the Vols’ defense surrendered a whopping 740 yards to Missouri and allowed Kentucky to gain 635 yards the week prior.

By comparison, opponents have gained a total of 2,779 yards against Alabama this season.

Injuries have played a factor on defense for Tennessee this season, but it’s discouraging to see the Vols ranked 100th in total defense this season.

And yet they stoned us the second half. Pretty cool, huh?

Can you imagine gaining over 700 yds and not winning a game ........

I can hardly imagine what gaining 300 yards of offense is like

Didn't Chump have two wins with under 125 yards of total offense?

Someone needs to tell him that's not the goal.

Luckily we got us a QB Whisperer when he's not 3 Star Whisperer.

We've got a long way to go, but that article should put things into perspective.
