Can't stand that I'll be watching Steeler's preseason games. Gross.

SCAR should get destroyed by us this year. The S&C program going back to elite status will handle this win. We should run for 200+ on them and drag them. Send the message to WM once and for all.

Wish I could like many multiples of times.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Tennessee is 14-13-1 against Alabama when Phillip Fulmer is an employee of the university (10-6-1 as head coach). We are 0-8 since he was let go.

Phil was hired again today.

15-0

SCAR has only won twice in Neyland stadium in their history if I'm not mistaken. 2005 and 2011? Those were both terrible years for us.

I'm simply not worried about that game.

I'm simply not worried about that game.

The largest margin of victory in the last 5 years has been 3 points. If that trend continues then we better be ready for a tough, hard fought game even in Neyland.

That's good recruiting material right there. We run a spread, but it's an NFL offense.

 

[chavisut]

Not just Bentley. SC also got that good RB, Dowdy, I believe, and 2 good WRs in the lineup for the second half of the season. A much better offense after that.

Which still wasn't very good.

14 combined points and less than 500 total yards against UF/Clemson.

Miszou had the worst defense in the league.

Poor OL play had a lot to do with that. But the addition of Bentley, Dowdle (not Dowdy) and those 2 WRs in the 2nd half of the season obviously was the difference in them winning 6 games and getting to a bowl rather than finishing with the 3-4 wins that were predicted for SC in preseason.

 

[drvenner]

We start 0-1 without him.

Or, maybe Kamara and Kelly run wild and we don't go to OT. I doubt it because the OL was terrible in that game, but you can't say that we would lose without him. Absolutely no way to know that.

I worry about every game. Even when we dominate. I know, that's weak sauce. Can't help it, though. I do still enjoy the games, even though I am nervous before.

Isn't this exactly what Coach Butch said he was going to do in his first meeting with the players back when he was hired?

I get excited and nervous just before kick-off, then I'm OK! I was this way when I used to play sports, too, many years ago!

 

[VolGee4]

The difference now is that we legitimately have a chance to win every game (maybe 11) on our schedule.

 

[Aesius]

This may already be well known, but Jesse Simonton at VQ is adamant that Trey Smith starts day one on the OL. Pretty impressive considering the depth we have and that he's only been through one spring camp here.

Take it with a grain. That crew also champions Kendrick. inch:

It'll only happen if Robertson starts at center and I wouldn't doubt there's a good chance of it

I'm willing to give Jesse the benefit of the doubt. He hasn't reached John Brice territory of comparing Kongbo to a more athletic John Henderson yet.

 

[scvolfan7]

Richmond-smith-Robertson-jones-Tatum?

 

[Rishvol]

Richmond-smith-Robertson-jones-Tatum?

Switch Tatum and Kendrick and I think that's the starting line... Yes butchna, you don't not start the senior leader.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Richmond-Jones-Robertson-Smith-Kendrick/Hall

 

[BaldBiker]

Richmond-smith-Robertson-jones-Tatum?

My guess is Hall (if healthy)

I do however think we will see a few young guys get a lot of meaningful reps. Kendrick will see a lot of playing time too. First time in years we have been this deep on the OL.

You don't if someone is better. Wasn't Blair a senior?

Depth there is insane. It was hard to pick the starting lineup

Understandable.
