104.5 zone or 102.5 in Nashville had Jimmy Hyams on for his weekly segment. Hyams confirmed that Heup stated Mitchell is out “for a couple of weeks.”

The same for the Juco DB injured @ Pitt.

Also spoke about Burrell. He was targeted at least 9 times and gave up 7 receptions . I’m not sure if that was for entire game or first half? But he’s a problem and opposing coaches will go after him.

I had a fella on here tell me that was not the case. So take your stats and go somewhere else. To a place common sense matters and means something.

Wow, rough day? Go listen to the podcast and you will see what Hyams said towards the end of the program. I hope you have a great day.

Volquest said that he should be back for the Akron game. I trust them a lot more than Jimmy Hyams. Also dee Williams was not hurt at Pitt but in the preseason, did not even play the ball state game

I was just going by what Hyams said. I think it was 104.5 the zone in Nashville. It was towards the end of his segment. I agree about Hubbs as I enjoy his commentary.

The DB- I can’t recall his name but take your word for it. Maybe I misunderstood Hyams regarding Pitt but the DB he was referring to is supposedly put two weeks. Again, just what Hyams said.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully we are healthy for Florida.
Go Vols!

I don't have anything against Mitchell, but after being eager for a long time to see how well he would do at UT (the REAL UT!) in a posiion of critical need, I now offically have tuned out.

If he sees the field at some point good for him, and hopefully for the team, but I have moved on.

I'd trust Dooley over Hyams, and he hasn't been our coarch for 10 years. Hyams is almost always wrong.

Stick in a frosh, it probably makes little difference. The ship will still leak, but maybe less. Maybe Burrell just needs to know his playing time isn't safe, and he needs to straighten up and fly right. Much as I love my Vols, the analysis says he's heavily flak damaged, and out of formation. Replace and/or retrain, the ack-ack is just going to get even heavier after Akron.

You said and I quote again "Almost targeted every time". I don't know where you went to school hossfly but Pitt threw the ball 44 times. 44 is a long way off from 9.

So he wasn’t thrown at every time, but almost every time he was thrown at he gave up a reception? Looks like he needs to take a seat and let somebody else try. Hopefully Charles or someone else is ready to step up, can’t do much worse; no offense.

Patti completed 9 balls. I said the game plan was Patti throwing it at 4. I was referring to when Patti came in. If I didn't mention it, my bad. But Patti targeted him a bunch.

Hope the Burrell can piece it together as it may be lack of confidence, not athleticism.

Yep. Said it before....I never really get excited about juco kids or transfers until they actually do something on the field. We got kids who are taking care of business on the field. Got kids who are working hard in practice. Not going to lose sleep over the injury prone or problem children. If he manages to contribute, good for him, but at this point, he's just dead weight.

He played a lot of the game and only recorded 1 tackle and 1 hurry. But Herring looked really good. It's Akron, but same team Mitchell was playing--albeit not as fresh. Still, one of the things I said about this year that would indicate a successful year even if we struggled in SEC play was that we need to see some stars emerging plus Milton showing huge signs of improvement. Mitchell's play, if he lives up to the hype, certainly would be beneficial to this year's team.

Herring could be the best player in the freshman class by the time they are out of eligibility, but I'd trust a senior LB who is familiar with the scheme and used to Power 5 competition over a true freshman this early in the season. The reason Henry T was starting as a FR is the defense we ran and we literally didn't have any other options. With Herring it's different, we aren't running a 3-4 and Mitchell actually started in front of Banks last night. Herring will be a star, but it's Florida week and he's not like Jamal Lewis at RB where he changes the dynamic of the defense the way Lewis would have on offense in 1997 had Fulmer played him a week earlier. Mitchell is in his 2nd year and has played in a lot of big time college football games. It can happen occasionally, but you don't want to put a freshman LB in that situation unless you have no other option this early in the season.

We aren't back yet, but the case could be made that this is the most important game in recent history. We aren't likely to beat UGA or Bama this year, but even when we have been favoured, Florida has been a yearly albatross around our necks (Thank you Joshua Dobbs, Jauan Jennings, and Derek Barnett for making it a little less painful). This is a must win game for the program to get over the hump and move the program forward. This is our chance to put the Florida curse in the rearview mirror once and for all. Not ready to put all that pressure on a freshman who is incredibly talented, but lacking experience.

We can say whatever, but Mitchell had one QB hurry and one tackle against the 4th worst team in all of college football. Herring had 2 sacks and 3 tackles. Now apparently one advantage to Mitchell is how he gets people aligned. In the 4th quarter I saw someone literally nudging someone on the line to get them in the right position. Thought it was Herring, but if not and it was Mitchell or someone else, I can see that being an advantage vs having an athletic guy make designed plays. Not even sure if they play the same LB position now that I think about it.
