In terms of total yardage allowed per match, Tennessee was above average compared to the rest of the conference.
The Vols gave up an average of 348.7 yards per match — good for fifth in the SEC. They trailed just Georgia, Texas A&M, Alabama and Missouri.
Just as Tennessee’s rush offense was elite, the team’s rush defense was also the second-best in the conference. It gave up a mere 113.8 yards per game in this fashion.
The only program above the Vols was Texas A&M who allowed 106.7 yards on the ground.
Leading the run stop were the pair of starting linebackers. They finished the season with the most tackles on the team. Elijah Herring totaled 75 and Aaron Beasley finished with 67. Jaylen McCollough also stepped in from the safety position for 54.
Tennessee’s passing defense was a major step back from its rush stop. The Vols ranked 10th in the SEC while allowing 234.9 yards through the air per contest.
The only teams below Tennessee in pass defense were Kentucky, LSU, South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

Kamal Hadden was the best defensive back in his limited time. He broke up seven passes and had three interceptions. McCollough also had three picks.
While getting after the quarterback, James Pearce Jr. led the way with 8.5 sacks.
Yards only tell part of the story, though.
If you can bend but not break, it leads to a lot of wins. In terms of points allowed per match, Tennessee finished with 22 points given up for fifth in the conference.
The Vols were placed behind Georgia, Alabama, Texas A&M and Auburn.
Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans
Current Records: Indianapolis 6-5, Tennessee 4-7
The Titans will be in front of their home fans on Sunday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. They will take on the Indianapolis Colts at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Tennessee’s three-game losing streak finally came to an end on Sunday. They came out on top against the Panthers by a score of 17-10. The win was just what Tennessee needed coming off of a 34-14 defeat in their prior contest.
The Titans can attribute much of their success to Derrick Henry, who rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
The team’s defense also helped out by holding the Panthers to a paltry 258 yards. A big part of that defensive dominance came down to the Titans’ ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid the passer out four times before it was all said and done. Denico Autry was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis entered their tilt with Tampa Bay with two consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with three. The Colts walked away with a 27-20 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Jonathan Taylor was the offensive standout of the contest as he rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns. Michael Pittman Jr. did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 107 receiving yards.
The losses dropped Tennessee to 4-7 and Carolina to 1-10.
The Titans and the Colts pleased both fans and bettors in their last matches by winning and covering the spread. Looking forward, the game is expected to be close, with the Colts going off as just a 1-point favorite. Bettors picking the Titans against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a three-game streak of failing to cover when playing as the underdog.
Indianapolis is a slight 1-point favorite against Tennessee, according to the latest NFL odds.
The over/under is set at 42.5 points.
