Our offense is more reliant on good gaurd/center than tackle.
Spread mitigates edge rush but interior pressure is especially horrible for what we are doing.
With a mobile Qb our offense is much more reliant on good interior line play. We can scheme around average OT's,
the spread looks horrible when you are giving up inside penetration;)
Probably why we aggressively pursue guys who project as gaurds.
even if we don't land an "elite"...
if the Vols win 19 games it will be hard to keep them out...
aside from Arky away and kentucky all are winnable games
we might not go on a 5 game win streak but when you play great defense and limit turnovers you probably wont lose 3 in a row either.
i like our chances
nothing mediocre when you are the 8th winningest D1 program of all time
we have won at least 5 games every year since 1977
other than florida game(mega-choke) we have lost to 4 top 10 teams.... sometimes when you are a top 30 team it happens
we could easily win out and beat some crappy...
He would clearly be an offensive tackle. he could very easily weigh 315 ibs within 6 months. With his natural athleticism he could at least make an NFL Roster.
