Would anybody be talking about this had Tebow not fumbled at the 4 and the Gators went up 30-6 late in the game?

Chavis’ D in 2008 actually held Florida’s O to fewer first downs, yards gained, less yards per play, etc.

Other circumstances killed Tenn in 2008. James ran a punt back, Florida had a long KO return, and Tenn had three TOs.

Tennessee has some good defensive personell and not jsut good coaches on defense.

All one needs to do is took look at the stats from last year’s game with Tennessee with this year’s game stats to debunk this analyst’s entire postulation. Defensively, Tennessee actually performed worse than they did last year. They gave up more rushing yards, more passing yards, more first downs, time of possession, etc. etc. etc.

Monte’s defense was not even capable of improving on its dismal performance last year. The only difference was the score which was affected by a bogus excessive celebration call which continued a sputtering drive of Tennessee’s and a gift fumble as we were driving to go up 30-6 late in the game.

Stop immortalizing people who have basically done nothing on the college level like the Kiffens just because it makes you feel better about your team’s fundamental inadequacies.

Chris,

Do you think that the relative success of Monte’s scheme against the gators will translate into similar success against Malzahn’s offense this Saturday?

Stated differently, do you think that Monte can essentially just use the defense he was using against Florida, or do you think he will need to tweak the scheme a little bit? If the latter, what changes do you expect to see?

Regards,
Patrick
