After playing one of the best teams in the country, the Tennessee defense dropped a bit in the NCAA’s official stat categories, but the offense actually had some positive movement.
Offense
Climbed out of the Bottom 30: Nothing.
Climbed into the Top 30: Nothing.
Fell into the Bottom 30: Completion Percentage
Fell out of the Top 30: Nothing.
Honestly, these trends are not bad after playing one of the nation’s best defenses. Need a better run game and more points.
Defense
Climbed out of the Bottom 30: Nothing.
Climbed into the Top 30: Nothing.
Fell into the Bottom 30: Nothing.
Fell out of the Top 30: Team Passing Efficiency Defense, Passing Yards Allowed.
Kind of what you’d expect against an elite offense.
Special Teams
Punting has been a strength of the team most of the season, but punting was bad enough in just this one game to drop it from No. 2 in the nation two games ago all the way to No. 50 now.
Turnovers and Penalties
Not a lot of movement on penalties this week, but the team lost some ground on turnovers.
