Here’s our weekly update of the Vols’ statistical rankings, after the Florida game.
Offensive observations: The offensive line still seems to be doing a good job of protecting the quarterback. First down, third down, and scoring is . . . okay, but then go south in a hurry.
The most striking thing is that Red Zone Offense has gone from first three weeks ago to 100th this week.
Defensive observations: My mother always taught me that if you can’t say anything nice . . . you move on to special teams.
Special Teams observations: Need to tighten up that punt return and kick return defense, but other than that, high fives all around. And, of course, it’s only now that I realize that field goals isn’t on this list for some reason.
Turnovers and Penalties observations: Okay, decent. Could be better, but not terrible.
