Colandrea makes some fun off script plays but also makes drive killing/turnover worthy off script plays too.

Don’t know who listens to the Cover 3 podcast but they call him the “Whoopsie Daisy King” because of it.

We were worried about Joey too. Our system helps limit turnovers.

Whether it’s Becht or someone else, IMO we’d be crazy to pay Sorsby $5M when there are 7-8 guys out there who we could get for half that who have the same level of “sure thing” as Sorsby.

You only drop that kind of money if you doubt GMac can produce and you know Faizon won’t be ready.

Did it help limit his TOs, though? He threw 10 picks and lost 2 Fumbles. The INTs alone were twice as many as Nico or Milton in the previous two years.

But, 4/5 of those interceptions were on the receiver, and definitely one of those lost fumbles on the right tackle, we knew he was a gunslinger coming in kind of like Brett Favre

Half of Int's were on the WR's tipping them or them falling down. I know one of his was Staley falling down in front of the DB. Miles had 2 tipped, Mathews 1 and I think Brazzell had 1. He still had a few really bad int's, but only 5 of those were on him.

When things get shaken up, it's often...

Colandrea's Fault.

Did he mention any realistic guys? Because Sorsby isn’t imo.

Sorsby absolutely is. BV said he would prefer to land in Knoxville, just wasn't sure aboout us being outbid by TT. He's as reliable as you can get. My thing is, if he really wants to be here, we could get away with paying 500k less. Guess we will see. If we can't get Sorsby Leavitt, I'd love the JMU or Harvard QB.

If he really wants to be in Knox he will be.

It’s not like we’re only offering him a discounted membership to VQ.

So we’ll see if BV (idk who this is) is correct.

Without trying very hard i can think of atleast 2-3 where the ball hit the WR/TE in the hands and got picked on the deflection.

And one where a wr fell down vs UGA

Give and take. He’s more of a gambler than those two were, which also gave us some jump balls to Brazzell and maybe Matthews. He had 4 less INT’s in essentially the same number of attempts the year before at App State. Also had 40 more completions, which is our system. You could also count at least 2 or 3 that went off hands- I recall at least one to Kitselman and Staley.

I think going all in on Sorsby is a mistake. TT isn’t the school to compete with in the portal

I completely agree. If we can get Sorsby for 3.5 million ( which I doubt) , then absolutely. Anything over that he's not worth. But, if it's true that a single donor is willing to drop a bag on a QB, then who knows. If we are truly Sorsby 's first choice, then maybe he takes less to play here. I doubt it, but you never know. He grew up loving the Vols and coming to watch games in Neyland. Plus having family here can't hurt. Maybe the SEC factor helps too.If we get Sorsby, then great. But there's tons of good QB options that would come cheaper. I love the JMU kid, the Harvard kid and Houser from ECU. All 3 would come cheaper than Sorsby and probably play just as well in our offense.

How are you coming up with $3.5M for his value?
