Bowling Green's defense will tell us a lot

[Volngeorgia]

I looked at their web site and they only have 4 defensive starters returning.
Don't know how many in their DL.
Regardless, I'm really hoping to see our OL open some big running holes and protecting Dobbs in passing situations.

Many Vol fans are pointing to Oklahoma for us to learn the most about our team.
However, I'm going to be very worried about OU and the SEC if we don't at least hold our own with our OL against BGSU. I think we will, Vols 42 Falcons 10.

Geez, September can't get here soon enuf. Go Vols!

We won't show much against BG. This game won't tell us anything really.

 

[jacobyvoln27]

Oklahoma game, will tell how far we have come! G.B.O.

it can only tell you very bad things, it can't assure you of anything great.

This was a hallmark of Dooley teams.

Exactly my point. Thanx.

I disagree, a dominate performance by our Oline against anyone would be reson for celebration.

Agree, how many sacks did we give up to ark.st last year?

Just win! That will tell us more than anything. Just keep winning.

Not really.

If we're learning something from the BGSU game, UT is in trouble!

Beat the crap out of them and move on.

 

[LA Vol]

If we beat Bowling Green soundly with minimal effort and plain vanilla playcalling, that will build confidence. Wth Okla and the Gators coming up, I'm sure we'll be very conservative. It will be a good day if we see strong leadership, solid decision making, quality depth, maturity and no injuries.

I'm sorry, I couldn't stop laughing at the thread title to read the rest of the posts. Lol

 

[MrBiggles]

If will beat OK and open up holes that my father can run through then we will learn something. BG not so much!

I went over to read the Bowling Green message board to see if they were going to fill the Montana/Cincy/NC St/WKU/Utah St/Arky St role of predicting that they'd pull an upset or "give us an eye-opening experience". One of their posters said they "might" be able to "surprise" us with their mobile QB and up-tempo offense. It concerned me for a second, then I remembered we weren't in 2013 anymore.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

It might show us what QD can do in a live game setting. That's pretty much it though.

 

[MFL]

Big game. One at a time. Each one is critical.:rock:

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Who cares? We won and that's all that matters.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I was wondering when the panic threads would start.

5/17/15 will be a day etched in UT History. The day our fans were concerned about Bowling Green.

Here's how it'll go down:
"Mobile QB has scrambled to the outside and...SACKED! By Derek Barnett!"

"Johnson tried to scramble, but Barnett, McKenzie, Tuttle, and Maggitt gang tackled him before he could go anywhere"

I'm hoping he's in by mid 3rd qtr.

I hope he's in and Butch lets him sling a few. When Peterman would go in it was mostly just handoffs.

I agree. Let the guys play football.
