The fact is Heuple is a Big 12 coach with a Big 12 mindset. He'll never have a great defense, mediocre defense at best. But all he needs is a defense that can give him a couple or 3 stops per game. Napier was smart by going for so many times on 4th down. At least by going for it, he had a chance of keeping the ball away from Heuple and Hooker and having a chance in the fourth qt. The 1 time Florida did punt it ended in a 99 yd td drive right before half time. Field position is a nonfactor.
The fact UF ran up and down the field all day. Went 5 for 6 on 4th down. Grabbed a onside kick set a punt on the 1 yard line, and forced & recovered two fumbles.... and still couldn't keep up with Tennessee offensive machine is crazy.
Pruitt was a SEC guy & a defensive guy.. His Defenses sucked at UT as well.
If UT can ever get a Defense with a pulse they would truly be scary. Don't have to be good get off the field on 3ed and 4th downs a few times a game force a turnover here and there. And the Vols Offense can win alot of games .
Also, The last 4 Vols coaches leave Pitt with a L and leave Saturday with a L 100%
