I say we pound the rock

Against Florida, Kensucky ran all over them

That would be nice. Especially against Florida, since I am taking my twin granddaughters and I told them we could win.

I mean we have been run heavy both games so far.... So why is this even worth a thread?

Just because Kentucky ran all over them and because the media stated we could punish them on the ground?

Banks hits the hole hard and fast. TWSS. I think he will get more and more carries due to our Off Line inability to sustain blocks.

We will have to see a big improvement in our line to do this.

You got that right.

Florida is not East TN State.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Ya think?

 

[Chilmonty]

I believe FLA gave up over 200yds rushing against Charleston Southern?!? Would think we can gash them!!!

 

[Jack Burton]

How do we get Kentucky’s OL transferred to Vols and eligible in 12 days?

 

[Zues1]

Benny Snell is pretty darn good

 

[JohnnyJava]

What's plan B when, midway though the second quarter, Florida has forced a fourth straight three and out from UT's pound the rock strategy? UT isn't likely going to "pound the rock" on too many teams this year. This isn't 1998, 2001, or 2004.

Because I’ve watched fla play twice and know we can run all over them.

My point is we are going to run the ball anyways..... Just like we have the last two games.....

If we have seen anything, its that we cannot use what other teams have done as what TH should be able to do. UTEP gave up over 400 yards rushing against UNLV. I think we will be lucky to get 250. And UK has a running QB. That inflates the rushing numbers. We dont have running QBs. Our OL is nowhere near as good as UKs. If we are going to beat UF, its going to have to be through the air imo.

Like we ran all over ETSU?

Kentucky has Benny Snell and ignore Trry Wilson at your peril. Benny is a heavy compact RB who breaks tackles or wrecking ball defences alternatively. Plus that KY OL really does their job. So I hope our backs (and OL) can be the wrecking crew you imply.

Exactly big guy

Agree depends on oline they got get more aggressive and physical from first play

We lack a dual threat QB like KY. He made Snell better with his ability to break off large chunks scrambling.

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

Pains me to say it but Kentucky may have a better O line than we do. We certainly didn’t own ETSU in the run game. We should have had 300 on them.

 

[Volunteer Pride]

With our luck the entire Florida defense will play the game of their lives against us

We have the ability to pass. Don’t know why, but seems it takes awhile to get our rushing going, which is ok as long as we get Jennings and Calloway invileved early to spread the field. Pruitt mentality will win out vs UF. Book it. Colorado st will be intersting this week vs UF. I like where we are at...keep getting better. Pruitt pulls no punches.

With previous staffs, they would see the opportunity to run and game plan for an air raid attack.
