I'm hopeful that Wilcox is able to confuse opposing QBs more with the increased versatility and depth of the defensive players. My main concern is stopping the run. If you can't consistently stop the run in the SEC, without committing 8 players into the line of scrimmage box, the defense will...

The Vols are too young and eager to lose to Montana this year. Unlike Michigan losing a few years ago to App State and Ole Miss losing to Jacksonville State last year, the Vols are not so over confident that they mail it in. They will be excited to play...which may lead to some mistakes early...

Gentlemen...Gentlemen...this is too much ado over nothing. True we have a brutal schedule, true we have a young team, true our HC has not yet had overwhelming success...but come on, haven't you been paying attention? The team is improving, we are getting bigger, faster players who are being well...

As significant as the physical effort required to run those steps may be, more important, IMO, is that the players understand how many people it takes to fill that stadium, people who pay for the privilege of climbing those steep-ass steps, people who have other things they need and/or could...

Keeping playmakers constantly in the pipeline...that is how programs improve over the course of time and how elite programs stay at the top. With the recent revelations regarding Miami, can we pull some of those recruits out of the 'glades?

With Poole, Neal, Lane and Smith, we are loaded at RB. The freshmen need to learn the pass blocking responsibilities, but if they can handle that, they should be able to contribute this season. Going forward, Rajon may move to WR if Marlin and Tom produce in accordance with their potential...

College Football is evolving. At some point there will be four super conferences: The Northeast (current Big East plus Notre Dame and/or whoever is left over), The SEC (current 12 + the biggest TV markets they can acquire in the demographically growing sun belt, i.e. Texas). The Midwest...

I lived in FL for 20 years and now live outside of Atlanta. So my two biggest are the Gators and Bulldogs. But for all those years of "Coach Superior", and "Pope Urban", I absolutely, positively, freaking abhor UF. Beat those 'Lizards boys! Go Big Orange!

XLNT!...on many levels. Position of need...second four star of the class...a TX recruit...momentum builder heading into a season where the Big Orange will pull off an upset or two to begin to earn back the programs rightful stature. Gotta keep him in fold, no de-commits or surprises, please.

DD said yesterday, "we have a lot of good football players out here, but we're not a good football team yet." He seems encouraged by the increase in size, speed, talent relative to this time last year, but he also throws in a lot of "time will tell" and "can he/they sustain" statements. The...

To Chad F, thank you for your service. I am a veteran myself and I can appreciate the hardships you encounter everyday, that we back home cannot imagine. We are all grateful for your service. Stay safe. And be sure to check in here for the reaction when the Vols shock the college football world...

This is a good first game for the Vols. The Grizz are a legitimate football team with good size, unlike UT-M last year. The Vols will prevail, but if Montana isn't overwhelmed by Neyland (looking at their schedule for the past few years, they rarely play in such a big arena, especially as...
