hold teams under 15 points a game on defense and score 42+ points a game on offense?
Before you answer consider that last season the Vols gave up 20 points per game on defense and scored 37.5 per game on offense.
I think team 120 should easily be 3 to 5 points improved on defense and it will really surprise me if the offense isn't a touchdown better with the O-line a year older, stronger and better, with Coach Debord in his second year and Dobbs and the WR a year more experienced.
I don't expect the Defense to be the Bama 2015 defense (well at least not until 2017 when the defense may well be the best in the nation if we don't have a bunch of serious injuries) but I do believe a 5 point improvement with what appears to be a pretty serious improvement in the center of the defense which was the early Achilles heel of team 119 addressed and improvement on the edges.
I guess the real question is does -15 points on D and 42+ on O bring a ring to Knoxville?
