This is where a single number doesn't tell us much
- Tennessee had 3 defensive TDs, remove those we drop to 6th in the SEC in ppg (and yes, other teams may have had ones as well)
- Tennessee was 13th in the SEC in points per possession in 2025 (for all games, not just conference only but I can't find that)
But I don't think the offense in 2025 was that bad, you give me that with the 2026 defense and we're in the CFP. However I reject the framing it was some elite offense, we all had eyes.
Tennessee averaged 34.3 ppg in conference games in 2025. That also led the SEC.
