Greetings. Hope all is well and hope you all have a great week.
Here's my notes and thoughts from my rewatch. I've got plenty.
- Hendon Hooker had four broken tackles on sacks or where he scrambled.
- Alabama didn't bring six or seven a single time. The Crimson Tide primarily brought just four 75% of the time. Against a four-man rush, Hooker was 17-for-25, for 232 yards and 2 touchdowns. Against a 3-man rush, Hooker was 3-for-4 for 63 yards and a touchdown. Hooker only attempted one pass against a five-man rush and it was the interception. Interestingly enough, Alabama didn't bring more than four until the first possession of the second half.
- Against pressure, Hooker was 3-for-5 for 94 yards and a touchdown. He was sacked twice.
- On third down, Hooker was 4-for-8 for 32 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He picked up one first down when throwing on third.
- One wrinkle I found interesting this week was using Jabari Small out of the backfield. On four different occasions, the Vols tried to snap it fast and get it quickly to Small. He finished with 4 catches for 39 yards.
- On deep balls, Hooker was 3-of-4 for 166 yards and two touchdowns. The only one he didn't complete was to Payton in the fourth quarter when Tennessee was down three touchdowns, and in reality, there should have been defensive pass interference. The Bama DB was tugging on Payton's shoulder pads.
- Tennessee didn't have much luck running the football on designed runs. I considered just 41.1% of UT's runs to be successful.
- Tennessee brought a four-man rush 52% of the time, five-man rush 24% of the time, six-man rush 10% of the time and a three-man rush 14% of the time.
- Young was 15-for-21, for 210 yards and a touchdown against UT's four-man rush, 5-for-6 for 64 yards against a three-man rush, 5-for-9 for 51 yards against a 5-man rush and 4-for-5 for 25 yards and a touchdown against a six-man rush.
- Against pressure, Young was 5-for-9, for 51 yards and a touchdown.
- Young was elite on third down, finishing 9-of-13 for 194 yards, a touchdown and picking up seven first downs.
- Young ran for 56 yards on his seven scrambles, as containing the quarterback was once against a problem for Tennessee for the second consecutive straight week.
- Tennessee struggled all night long to tackle and slow down the run. I tallied 26 missed opportunities to tackle the ballcarrier, whether it be a really poor angle or simply allowing the ballcarrier to break a tackle. Worst it's been all season for Tennessee.
- On the ground, I considered 62% of Alabama's designed run plays to be successful.
