Someone please refresh me on the field goal controversy. Thanks

Gettin' curb stomped. 4th down deep in Bama's redzone in the 4th quarter.. instead of going for it Dooley kicks the FG instead of going for a TD. Did not matter either way in regards of FG or TD in the grand scheme... but kicking the FG looks bad as if he was trying to pad the score as opposed to playing it out all out til the very end.

Thanks, overreaction, IMO.

Whats wrong with giving a kicker a confidence booster, especially when the guy has struggled at times with his confidence. Th score either way didnt matter.

My opinion is if it isn't gonna make a difference, why whine about it? Complain about being blown out?... Sure, but Dooley has shown that he will go for it often enough on 4th down if he can get a chance to win.

Just preference, you know, whatever. I wanna be in position to win, not tack on an extra 4 to an irrelevant, losing score

Rajion Neal practiced more but it still not 100-percent. Zach Fulton tried to go to today, but all the coaches indicated that Fulton remains doubtful for Saturday.

Defensively, much more talk about playing young guys. You will see Jordan Williams, Saulsberry, maybe Trent Taylor. In the secondary, they act as if they are going to play Bonner and Gray so we will see.

Chaney said that Bray has had a good week on the practice field, and said making any kind of qb change during the game would be Dooley's call. Chaney made it clear that he was comfortable with Worley and that Bray must be more consistent.

I do not know who "orange zone 365" is, but they posted that Tony Basilio has reported that Peyton Manning is all in with bringing Gruden to UT and has even donated to the fund.

Also, I have a question. If UT was to somehow beat USCjr on Saturday and win out and even win their bowl game.... that would make them 9-4 on the year. That is almost double the wins they had last year. Do you still show Dooley the door?

Both Sunseri and defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley said that increased playing time could be in the offing for freshman defensive backs Deion Bonner and Daniel Gray.

"Just showing up at practice every day. Those guys come to practice and they come to work," Ansley said. "Very skilled guys. It's not a matter of when to put them in the game but why to put them in the game. And those guys are proving they can come out here and do it every day so maybe they'll be able to get some time this week.

"I don't think they're better than anybody right now. They're all good players. Dan is fast; we all know that. And Deion is a bigger, heavier guy so they complement each other well. The future is definitely bright at corner."

Added Sunseri, "We're going to play a lot of players. So you go out there and get tired and all that, we're going to play some players."

Yea I saw this tweet from him earlier...

"having regrets and knowing that your first decision was the best decision is probably the hardest thing to deal with #FLORIDA"

Wish the kid well though, interesting beginning to his college career for sure.

Thanks for posting TCV. On the one hand its great to see that the coaches are open to giving them some time to see what they are capable of. On the other hand, I am going to be some kind of pissed off if they perform like some of us think they could and we win this game after waiting this long to give them a shot. I'm referring to everyone mentioned above also, not just Bonner and Gray.

Edit: IMO I think the #1 thing these guys will be able to bring to the game this weekend will be something the team desperately needs, energy. Would love to see these new guys getting out there and flying around on defense trying to make plays.

"They may have some of the best skill position players we've seen," USC linebackers coach Kirk Botkin said on Wednesday. "They have good wide receivers and their quarterback can really throw the football. Their aerial attack is really, really good. It's a different challenge. They run the football too, but they really like throwing it around. And they're good at it. The quarterback hits the fifth step and he lets the thing go. It will be a challenge."

Remarkably, Tennessee has thrown and run the ball an equal amount of times (256), so the play-calling has been evenly divided between. The quarterbacks for the Vols have completed 59 percent (151-of-256) of their passes for 1,997 yards and 16 touchdowns. Tyler Bray (1,914 yards) has taken most of the snaps, with Justin Worley (83 yards), a sophomore from Rock Hill, serving as the backup.

Steve Spurrier said on Wednesday's weekly SEC coaches' teleconference that USC defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles is doubtful for Saturday's game against Tennessee, saying the sophomore from Greenwood "was one player that will not play this week." Offensive tackle Mike Matulis is doubtful as well, meaning Corey Robinson will likely slide back into the starter's role at left tackle.

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was limited in practice on Tuesday because of the lingering foot issues that have plagued him since high school. Typically, the foot feels better as the week goes along and he is able to play at full speed on Saturday. However, as defensive line coach Brad Lawing pointed out, Clowney isn't improving as a player standing on the sidelines from Monday through Friday.

Not confident this team can win 6 straight...SCe, Troy, Vandy and Mizzou are loseable.
