The offense was on fire, and the defense got singed. Where are the Vols trending after their opener against Bowling Green?
A new season is upon us, and we're back at trying to take sixty minutes of data and draw meaningful conclusions about the state of the Vols. Our first data point: a 59-30 victory over Bowling Green that was less comfortable than the score indicated. For those who are new to Rocky Top Talk this year, the Trending Report is a weekly feature in which one of our writers (me) gives his take on where this week's Vols seem to have improved, where they've gotten worse, and where they've held steady.
