I'm all in favor of putting that POS in a locked cage with AP. Peterson beating him to death with his bare hands would be poetic justice to me.

This is just sad and sick. Prayers out to Adrian Peterson and his family. I can't imagine what he is going through right now.

I hope the man who did it gets a cell with an entrance only revolving door in the sex criminal wing of whatever prison he winds up in.

The death penalty would be too easy on this guy.

Prayers for AP and his family, no parent should have to bury their child, especially like that.

BS! You cannot correlate 100m time to 40 time. I sit right next to a guy at work that out ran Megatron in the 40 at GT while running track for them. He'll be the first to tell you while he was fast off the block; he usually gassed too soon running the 100m. Same with guys that start out slow and finish strong.

Which is why I didn't make that the center of my opinion and said "typical". You want to believe it, go right ahead, I just don't believe there's a 48 year old on earth that runs step for step with the fastest football players in history in their prime.

It is one of the worst fears for a parent, I'm sure. I'm not there yet, but only God knows what would happen if that happened to me and my kids. There would be only 1 trial in that scenario: me telling the judge I I killed him willingly since he decided to do the same to my kid. What a heartless thing to do.

Also, marijuana is always a though-of reason for kids leaving a football program. Is that really the reason for Dallas? I was a fan of his.

They're giving you a hard time, but I don't believe it either. Not only is his 100m time much slower than that of the typical sub 4.4 runner, but the fastest laser timed 40 at the combine is a 4.24. It's not a knock on Gault to disbelieve he runs a sub 4.3 40 at the age of 48. As for the article being cited as if it's indisputable evidence, you'll notice there's no mention of any type of verification. I'd bet everything I own that was timed with a stopwatch.

Still darn fast, even with a stopwatch. Anywhere close to 4.5 at 48 is SMOKING fast.

No marijuana for Dallas. He's graduating in June and looking for another school where he'll get more playing time.

4.5 is fast at any age... but it ain't 4.27. There's no way, IMHO, any 48 yr old is running a 4.27. It would make him pretty much the fastest player in the NFL right now. Maybe if Willie was running a 3.7 or 3.8 in his prime.... nah.

You need to read the entire article. It pretty much says he is a freak of nature. He ran a 4.27 at 48 yrs. old whether you want to believe it or not...and sadly the opinion of KBVol doesnt matter. Dude does 1500 crunches a day. Do you need a laser for that as well? How many 48 yr. olds can do that?

Not sure about the 40 yard dash (who REALLY runs the 40 other than football players?). But make no mistake, dude is still world class fast.

I'll reiterate, nobody runs the 40 except football players. It's a contrived measuring tool invented by the Dallas Cowboys in the '70s. It caught on and all football teams use it.

By every other measure, Gault still has world class speed. Is he Justin Gatlin fast? Of course not. Is he faster then almost every player on UT's current team? Yea, probably. I'm guessing there aren't many current players at UT that can run a 10.8 second 100 meters.

And whomever said they would bet "everything they own" that the numbers are verifiable ... you lost your house broseph. The numbers I passed along are from the WMA, using the same measuring techniques employed by the Olympics and IAAF. Nice bet.

I guess Marsalis Teague must've really run a 4.5 in high school since some website said so. Yet somehow he slowed down so much by his senior year that he ran the same 40 time as Ben Bartholomew.

And if he finished the year giving his all for tenn then he would deserve a huge pat on the back, but as it is he is nothing but a selfish quitter. He had a very important role and bailed on his teammates. I have zero use for a person like that

Azzanni, who's coached receivers at Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Florida, Western Kentucky and Wisconsin, has tweaked his coaching style throughout the course of the season and adapted it to his young wideouts.

"I think good coaches feel it. There's a method to my madness," he said. "I've been doing this a long time: 15 years. I know when to push, when to pull, and the fact of the matter is we had a bunch of young kids who had no idea the intensity of an SEC football game, and going and patting them on the butt every day and telling them they're doing a great job when I know they're not probably wasn't going to get them ready.

"All of the sudden you start to see some improvement, and then you show them improvement from spring all the way through now and their eyes kind of get like saucers. Then you can start being a little bit more positive and a quieter coach. Shoot, when these guys are juniors, I'll just be standing out here, hopefully."

Worley has an outside perspective on the dynamic between Azzanni and his players.

"He might be the hardest one on them, and they respect him regardless of how he coaches and things like that," the quarterback said. "I think his coaching style has changed a little bit throughout the season, going from, 'We're doing this wrong,' to, 'All right, how can we do this better?'

"I think he's done a great job of developing those guys and getting them on the same page."

Croom said Azzanni "don't take too kindly" to losing, and Tennessee's receivers aren't even allowed to say that word, which may explain why Azzanni won't let his wideouts think they've turned a corner.

"We lost the game. We made some mistakes," he said. "I'm glad everyone's all happy. That's all good. I'm not real happy. We lost the game, and that one hurt, and we had some plays in that game where we could have made up and maybe won that game by two touchdowns.

"I point those out, too, because we're going to run into that same situation here whether it's this year or next year, and next time they're going to go, 'OK, we've been here before, and we can't make these little mistakes in a big-time game like this.'"

"Make no mistake about it: We were ultimately disappointed we didn't win the football game and realized there's a lot of things we could have done, simple things like blocking leverage on the perimeter and assignments," Bajakian said this week.

"But I think one of the biggest differences in our ability to execute, especially in the second half, was very simply guys stepping up in critical situations, in those third- and fourth-down situations, making the plays when they were needed."

In the second half against the Bulldogs, Tennessee rolled up 252 yards and drove 75, 78 and 80 yards for three touchdowns against Georgia's young defense, which is 10th in the SEC and 67th nationally in total defense.

However, the Vols managed just 127 first-half yards and punted on five of their first six possessions despite registering eight first downs. A false-start penalty knocked them out of a second-and-5 situation in Georgia territory, and a sack ended another series. Tennessee punted after three plays to end the first half and again to start the second half.

The margin of error remains small for this offense, but it did tap into some of its potential after halftime.

"The biggest part that everybody sees is the execution, and really that's what it was," quarterback Justin Worley said. "We had a lot of guys step up on third down that kept some big drives going for us. I think we had numerous passing conversions on third down that were huge and maybe something we hadn't had going for us in the past few games."

Since 316- and 220-yard performances at Oregon and Florida, respectively -- two of the nation's top 20 defenses statistically -- Tennessee averaged 443 yards against South Alabama and Georgia.
