Could Tennessee have the fastest offense in the SEC?

Neal was timed last spring at 4.29 in the 40. I didn't mean Lane.

We all know you cant go by hand timed 40's. I would bet the farm that D Rogers does not run a 4.3 40 if timed properly.

If I recall correctly, I think it's like 4.3 seconds, or something like that.

While I agree that this may be true, Losing their #1 star RB will be an adjustment for them. Also, losing to Georgia doeant technicaly take us out of the East if we take care of business elsewhere. Still wondering how they got Lucky 2 yrs in a row doging the studs in the West. Cant wait to see how the season plays out. Go Vols

Croom is being overlooked. Dude is going to surprise this year. His size/speed combo just isn't fair. If he has decent hands he will see the field.

I would bet you are right, but that is often all we have to go on in college and when comparing Tennessee to the other SEC teams we just look faster on paper. I read somewhere that Justin Hunter electronically timed a 4.42 in the 40. That means on a good day he could probably run a sub 4.4 electronically. 4.42 electronically timed is smokin' fast.

He looks like a match-up nightmare for anyone trying to cover him. He is said to have impressed in workouts so far. No way you can jam him at the line of scrimmage or cover him on a slant. A tight end with WR speed.

We do have some serious speed but it is really more impressive when you look at the size of those WR's - there are a lot of short burners out there - there aren't a lot of 6-3+ guys with the kind of speed that Drogers, Junter and CP possess

I am super pumped for this season as well. Who do you see uga losing to? If we lose to them and bama...that means uga is going to have to lose 3 sec games in order for us to win the east. Look at their pansy arse schedule...maybe sc and then who? They will destroy Auburn again and I dont see UF beating them...maybe Mizz? I think our realistic chance of making the dome is to beat uga in Athens...which will be a tall order.

I agree...low 4.4's is haulin ace timed electronically.

Volnation,
How tall is "Pig"?

[WiseOlVol]

On paper Uga should have won 20 Sec championships. They usually find a way to under perform. Murray makes a ton of major blunders. They just barely beat ut last year when we had nothing.

9-3/6-2 tops.

I agree with you, but strange things happen when you play the game.

On a side note, how likely will Dallas see any playing time of defense.
