Almost always running on 1st down – The Concept – according to Ainge:

He related a story from his days where a player would say to Fulmer or Cutcliffe, “Coach, they know what we’re going to do.” The response back was “who cares?” The idea is that our guys really know and the other guys only think they know. Our guys are being challenged to man-up, be physical, and beat the guy on the other side of the line. It’s why our first step is so important. The basic concept is not that we’re going to outsmart other teams; the concept is we’re going to line up and beat them.

Our guys on the offensive line are evidently not yet convinced that they can consistently beat the guys on the other side of the ball but they are not going to get any relief. The style of football we want to play demands that they figure that out and get it done because the offense’s success or lack thereof is not ever going to be lifted from their shoulders, not with this staff.

Money quote from Fulmer back on December 7, 2017.

THIS is what I needed to read. Don’t necessarily agree with it, but who am I to dispute the effectiveness of it long term.

OD is 1-6, their only win was vs top 15 team where they were like 30 point underdogs. They’ve only been in the FBS for 5 seasons and just restarted their program 10 years ago. That’s a bigger upset

That is a great upset no doubt, but the difference is..I didn't think VT was top 15 material to start with, so it doesn't resonate with me as much.

Bama is one of the greatest ever, beating them with this UT team would be doing something truly unbelievable..even with Hurts at QB it would be a monumental upset.

In a few years nobody outside if VT and ODU fans are gonna remember that, but if we beat Bama it will be for a long time...

It's all moot anyway...we aren't staying within 4 TDs unless Saban just decides to grind it away.

But Chef said he was terrible and would never throw for 300 at UT

If most were honest, very few thought JG was ever going to have a game like that while wearing a UT jersey, myself included.

Very happy for him, the young man has obviously never stopped believing in himself or his teammates.

I watched Saban's presser from earlier this week. He talked several times about the job CJP is doing. Said after watching the Auburn game that Tennessee is a disciplined, well coached team.

I know Saban is close to Pruitt, but it's been a while since I've seen someone talk about the Vols that way. Feels good.

Been a great week. My daughter won her first softball game tonight. she was ecstatic!

One of the other girl's dad is an Auburn fan. He hopes they lose every game the rest of the season. He wants Malzahn fired so bad and says he's never liked him. He's tired of relying on miracles to win meaningful games.

He'd say that if Bozo the clown was the head football coach. He may really think that, and probably does, but he's said the same about every Tennessee coach he's ever went up against.

When coach Fitz hugged Jennings I choked up. Its legitimate. It isn't fake. That is a close knit locker room right now. The coaches love them, they love the coaches, and they all love each other. That's a dangerous team in my opinion.

If we beat bama we’ll finish 9-3 and top 15 so your point doesn’t work.

Outside of UT no it won’t, Who outside of UT fans talk about the 82 upset?

Kind of like calling teams that beat them, the better team; he'd say that if the Bozo the clown team had just beaten them.

Yep, I told a Kentucky friend of mine after the UGA game that Tenn could be a team that you don’t want to play at the end of the season. We just need to stay healthy and I think we go bowling.
