I believe he came from juco with 2 years to play 2.

Just as AJ was Butch's number one recruit last year, Maggitt is this year.

Prime example is the first play, that's on Mike Williams. Williams had Cooper pinned to the sideline, Randolph was preparing for the cutback, which was Cooper's only option aside from running out of bounds. Williams was soft and Cooper blew by him and then Randolph who had taken the cutback angle.

Found it enlightening last night to hear Freeze scrapped his hurry up offense. I guess Bo was making too many bad hurried decisions. The Vols forced 7 punts in the first half, including 6 three and out's. If they were running a regular offense, using 30 seconds of the play clock, letting it...

Definitely agree that they should be doing some chipping with the TE's, something to help those OT's. The long term issue is recruiting. Seems there are few if any true OT's committed currently, although the injured Chance Hall is being recruited as OT. They're doing a tremendous job...

Vols will run and play action pass better next year than last. Third and long ain't where they wanna be. Defense will be faster and improved everywhere except defending runs between the tackles. Special teams will be improved everywhere except field goals, probably. They will be a...

Butch has stated on numerous occasions that he uses this format because there's not enough depth to field 2 complete competitive teams. That's all there is to it.

You are aware Wilt won the Big 8 hurdles championship when he was at Kansas?

Actually, you can push, shove and maul a receiver in the college game anywhere on the field- until the ball is in the air. You can't hold of course, but until the ball is in the air, contact is allowed. And that's why Butch seeks out bigger, more physical DB's. It's the NFL where no contact...

6 seconds, 3 strains, is what they call it

According to Evan Woodbery, Jason Carr is injured. Severity unknown. Anybody know anything?

Vols are gonna do a lot of situational substituting this year, so who starts at what position will not be a huge deal. Given they have 10 more spring practices, a summer with the entire squad and then a month of fall practice, it might be a little premature to be fretting about the position...

The key injury is Saulsberry's. He was developing under Stripling. He has size and experience. Jenkins is a legacy and was headed to Clemson when Butch arrived. Azzani has said many times he optimally wants to play 10-12 WR's. That's a lot of bodies to be talking about any wideout on...

With Gavin Bryant looking more and more like he'll qualify and sign, it makes sense on more than one level that Mouhon would look elsewhere. Good luck to the young man and is Butch really this good?

There has never been a head coach who stayed for years at the same bigtime program who didn't have a down period- eg, Bryant, Woody Hayes, Paterno (before that sick mess was exposed), Bobby Bowden, Darrell Royal, Frank Broyles. Call it human nature, but what happened with CPF happened to every...
