Gilliam out with torn ACL

[VOLorNuttin]

Butch mentioned Blair, Coleman Thomas and Kendrick.. Said it will be competition this week to determine starter.

I for one am pulling for Blair, big time. I hate to see all that potential go to waste.

 

[VOLifornia]

Sorry to hear that after all the work he has put in. Here's to a speedy and uneventful recovery.

 

[StoVol]

Man this sucks!

 

[Biopsyman]

Don't be surprised if Robertson or Jackson move over to Tackle.

Well it's time for someone to man up!

No way.. Both don't have the footspeed. Thomas to RT and Flip Kyler to LT.. Will need Wolf to stay in and chip a lot more

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Wow, our Oline is going to be atrocious this year once we hit SEC play.

you know this how?

 

[YankeeVol]

Man that sucks.


Best of luck to him.

 

[Biopsyman]

Pair can play right tackle...

 

[Aesius]

you know this how?

Because we have absolutely zero depth and we're replacing our starting LT with someone who likely isn't ready to take that position.

 

[roberthunter]

Terrible news. I feel bad for Jacob, but he should have his head held high. He achieved a goal that most of us can only dream about. He worked his tail off and became the starting left tackle at the University of Tennessee. That's pretty bad ass, imo.

 

[TechnoVol]

Terrible news... really feel for the young man who put in so much work and realized his dream. Hopefully he'll get a sixth year and come back stronger than ever.

 

[Biopsyman]

Probably with pending surgery in the next few week and rehab/recovery.. Even with Peition...career probably over

and you know this how? Are you one of the coaches? Do you attend the practices and evaluate talent? It would be wise of you not to make assumptions, and expound on things that you don't have intricate knowledge.

Give it to Thomas!!

Hate to hear that for the young man.

Kendrick did alright. Hate it for Gilliam though. Hopefully we can get him back next yr.

Oklahoma is licking its' chops over this injury. Tryouts for replacements? Jeez.

 

[Thrasher865]

Well, they already looked terrible this past Sunday. From bad to worse.

oh ok

 

[CountVolcula]

Somebody gonna have to put their big boy pants on now

wasnt really as bad as you are making it though. Theres about 5 teams on our schedule with a worse front 7 than USU

Injuries always suck, but there just seems to be something wrong about having this happen to a walk on who scraps, fights, and claws to get on the field and in the very first game.....poof.

It's almost as if an injustice has been done.

Hate to see this.

We'll be fine.

Good luck to Jacob.

Oh please. Don't make an argument out of nothing.

Anyone with common sense can look at this situation and determine that our OL, which already struggled with USU's DL, will be even worse now that we lost our starting LT.

 

[ainge10heisman]

Man this is awful news. You have to feel for Jacob, he has worked so hard to reach this point in his career, only to have it ripped away from him. God truly does work in mysterious ways.

oh ok....
