DM saying no freshmen will start at any point during the season without significant injuries

Do most agree or is he forgetting the WR position?

I don't think with Gibbs opting out that we will not see some Freshman start at some point at WR... especially with the early buzz on Hyatt and Wideman

Is pope back healthy ?
DM says he’s going to be counted on and I thought he was out

From last week:

Following Tennessee’s third practice of fall training camp ahead of the 2020 season, third-year UT head coach Jeremy Pruitt issued an update on Pope.
“He’s been out there every day,” Pruitt said of Pope. “He continues to improve and if he continues to improve like he has the last five weeks, he should be ready to play for the opener.”

Old news, but just saw where Ja'Wuan James opting out of the NFL season this year at Denver... I was looking over the list of players and it's interesting to see who--- several were struggling to make the roster or start and are choosing to opt out-- if you can prove high risk, then you get $350,000 and if not and just want to opt out, you still get $150,000... a few probably saw where they would struggle to make the team and this way would still get a $150,000 payday...

They get paid for their opinions, so they're going to give them. Maybe they're just more concerned over the players' health than they are about the football season.

But it is true, without football no one would have ever heard of Rece Davis.

Bullcrap...they are a bunch of virtue signaling dweebs. Kids get hurt and killed participating in athletics all over the world every year.

This whole deal is nothing but a load of overwrought horse💩..these idiots will not shut up till everyone is wrapped in bubble wrap by the big brother nanny state.

I don't want their help, neither do millions upon millions of others..and their opinion is anathema to me. Life must go on. These kids want to play, let em play...It is their life getting screwed, not these scumbag "journalists"...I despise them all.

Pruitt in his Friday presser was questioned in perhaps not so many words about how the team taking time off would affect his getting in a full fall camp before the season started. He replied that we were given ample time to start and it wasn’t like we were at the point where we were running out of time.

On August 17th when fall camp kicked off we had 40 days until the day before kickoff on September 26th. We were permitted to have 25 total preseason camp practices up to game day with a mandatory requirement for 2 off days per week. That was essentially a 6 week camp including game week. As a minimum we would be required to have 11 off days over the course of camp. We’ve completed 13 days of the 40 day period with 7 practices and 6 off days.

We have 18 permitted practices remaining and a minimum of 7 required off days remaining. We’ve taken at least 2 additional off days so far above and beyond those mandated for the first 13 days of camp but the mandated off days remaining remain. So at the start we had 25 practice days and 11 mandated off days which totaled to 36 days out of the 40 allocated for the preseason. We started with 4 days of total float and having thus far already used 2 of those float days we have 2 remaining, if we are to get in the full 18 days of allowable practices remaining.

In project controls we call schedule activities/tasks that have zero float “critical path”. Critical path activities attract a white hot spotlight. It often seems everybody everywhere is following critical path because if it slips it costs time and money, lots of money especially. Anyway, it is just as Pruitt says, we are not on critical path so no need for anyone to worry if there was anyone worrying. We still have 50% of our original float remaining. jmo.

I don’t think any Freshman will “start” but there will definitely be Freshman that “play” at the WR position.

Bold statement. You're saying that at no point during the 10 game season.will a freshman start a game. I think someone will show enough promise to secure at least one start.

You didn’t get yours about 2 weeks ago? That’s weird. The wedding was beautiful! Thankfully, the bride looked a lot like her mom and was beautiful! The guy who gave her away was an ugly old moran!
