Vols' statistical rankings after Week Two

There's a lot of movement in a lot of statistical categories early in the season, and not a lot of it means much, but here are the Tennessee Volunteers' current rankings in the NCAA's major stat categories after Week Two.

What Tennessee is currently doing well

Not surprisingly, the Vols find themselves at the top of most of the turnover categories, courtesy of the Hokies. Passing Yards Allowed may be the only category that tells us much here, but even that comes largely against an App State team that doesn't like throwing the ball.

Tennessee fell out of the Top 30 in several categories, but with the possible exception of 3rd Down Conversion Percentage Defense, I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

Where Tennessee needs major improvement

I really don't like all of this red, and it is still too early to totally freak out, but being bad at first, third, and fourth down offense isn't sitting well. Rushing Defense, too, is concerning, even at this early stage. But mostly, the early signal is that we need to get our offense on track.

THE BIG FAT MIDDLE

I think this is the fattest Big Fat Middle we've seen in a long time. Time to get things rolling, boys.

Players in the Top 30

Woo, Josh Malone. And high fives to Micah Abernathy for "covering down" and getting a season's worth of fumbles all in one game. I will note that Abernathy was one of the guys I mentioned in our first podcast when Will asked us to identify the player we weren't yet talking enough about, so selfie high five for me. (Note: Selfie high-fives look really stupid. You just tried it, didn't you?)
