Sometimes you wonder how often coaches outsmart themselves. That seems to be an issue this year with Tennessee football, as the coaching staff is trying to find a creative way to fix an issue that has a simple answer.
Through two games, the Vols have been having issues on short-yardage plays similar to last year. They failed to convert a 3rd and 1 and a 3rd and 2 against the Georgia State Panthers. Then, against the BYU Cougars, they failed to convert on two 4th and 1 running plays while also coming up short on a couple of 3rd and 3 plays.
