one of his biggest challenges at Tennessee initially will be strengthening a defense that allowed the most points (35.7) and yards (471.4) per game of any SEC team this season. The Vols hadn't allowed that high a scoring average since 1893, when they gave up 42.7 points per game while playing a six-game schedule. They hadn't yielded that many yards per game since at least 1950, the earliest year Tennessee's sports information department has that statistic on file.


Doesn't really make me feel any better, lol.  I'm not sure they even wore leather helmets in 1893.

Most players didn't wear helmets then. The NFL didn't require helmets until 1941
