27 players made their Tennessee debuts last week

[VolBricks]

I did not realize that this many "new" players got in the game.

We won't hear Orange Britches "year Zero" until after the first blowout loss.

Hope there aren’t any blowouts, I wasn’t trying to be negative. It just reminded me how Butch always gave updates on how many firsts we had each week.
There’s some stuff to clean up but I’m still on the bandwagon

Jack Jancek. The guy is tall, faster than you'd think, and has good hands. Would love to see him ball out this year get a scholarship.

Mostly will be watching the OL and DL because that's where the game is won or lost.

Evans needs to truck people
Simmons and Terry need to create havoc

Was born and will die a Vols fan.
However, I have been knocked off of so many bandwagons that I will not get on another.
I fear Vol football has past the point of no return.

Probably priority #1 for BGSU going in other than winning the game. I see at least 4 back up OL's on that list. That's a good sign.

Spraggins. I have more or less a "policy" of not favoring particular players but have loved this guy since he committed.

Tremblay was a great surprise. IMHO, the interior DL for UT will be the most important position if UT is going to beat Pitt. Pressure up the middle can disrupt their run game and get Pickett off platform. If UT let's him stand in the pocket and throw or have to blitz constantly to get pressure then that's a big plus for them.

Was a bit surprised to see Merrill played. Thought they would attempt to red shirt him this year but maybe he’s too productive to sit?

Thx Freak for the stat on 27 debuts this past Saturday. That sure seems like more than normal. Wonder if we would have won with 28 new players...???

Hope the Baby Vols Kick Some Serious Cat Arse this Saturday!!

Sounds like a thread title from the Butch Jones era.

Butch was the master when it came to infantilizing adult men to excuse a loss.

"When you consider that 20 of these players had never seen grass before today, 14 had never walked outside before this morning, 3 of them entered the game directly from their mother's womb, and 1 individual was a gamete until after half time . . . now that's what being a champion of life is all about."

Didn’t he get in a game last year, or am I thinking of the spring game ?

Yeah, he caught some long balls in O&W and you could literally see how much he wants to make it, but he didn't see the field last year. Got to root for this kind of effort.

Give me a 32 point win over Florida or Bama and I solemnly swear I will never complain again.

In 1995, I said the same thing …OCT. 14,1995 TENNESSEE 41, ALABAMA 14. Never complaining again is hard to do. At that time, I had no idea all we’d go through over the next 20+ years.

So it is all your fault?

Spraggings pancaking, some Panthers play after play. Then after the game, offering them one of those mini bottles of Cracker Barrel maple syrup. And telling them it wasn't personal, he actually likes cats but didn't know patting them would make them fall aground and flatten.

I hope this happens, LOL !!

Go Vols !
