No matter what, you were still a part of 2 victories over the Dwags. Can't anyone take that away. Lots of players can't say the same...been buying season tickets since 1965.
We improved from #129 last year to #112 this year in opponent 3rd down conversions. Probably would have been significantly better with at least an average offense (#125 nationally in conversion %).
It's just me I'm sure, but honestly I felt worse after the VT shutout....a team we scored 49 points against a year ago. Ridiculous we couldn't have given them a better game.
My interpretation is the coach before CPJ could only achieve a 7-6 record with what Johnson inherited, while CPJ achieved the same record his final year with less talent.
Chadwick had recently been announced as HFC at Wills High School in Smyrna before his accident. There was a group who got together from time to time to share time with Walter. The group was simply named, Friends of Walter. Steve Kiner and other Vol alumni often attended the functions. Walter...
IIRC, GT has already undergone a similar offensive transition (from wishbone to a more traditional O) back in the late 70s.....though Pepper was coach both before and during the transition. Think we went from 6-5 in 77 to 7-5 in 78.
I can relate to your post in many respects, especially 3 & 4. From 1965 thru 2013, never missed a home game....just a loyal sidewalk fan. I counted the games up once....well over 300 straight games. Anyway, health issues hit me about the same time as I retired just north of Blue Ridge. I...
Just looked at where we rank on both O and D 3rd down conversions thus far....#122 on offense and #112 on defense. I knew our offense would drop dramatically this year, but am extremely disappointed with our defense ranking thus far.
Agreed. Sometimes proficiency on offense can help mask a deficiency on defense and vice-versa. If you're very or somewhat lacking in both O and D, then likely you'll have a tough time winning. Comparing 2017 and 2018 (both very mediocre years) to 2019 thru game 4, we aren't burning it up in...
