D. Scott 2nd on depth chart

[aRmo]

Freshman tailback Derrell Scott was listed second — behind freshman Jalen Hurd, and ahead of senior Marlin Lane — on Tennessee's official depth chart for Saturday's game at third-ranked Ole Miss.This is interesting, probably because lane is still hurt or Scott is just better.

I think the Hurd/Scott duo could be pretty good once the O-line improves. Add Kamara and Rocky Reid next year and we are stacked.

Once our oline improves, this team will be hard to beat.

Lane catching a lot of unwarranted grief from fans this year. Truth is he simply isn't healthy. It's a shame, coaches raved about his off season work

Those 4 behind an average O line are nasty!

Agreed.

Thunder and lightning

Good to see Scott getting some reps. Gotta think Lane is still gimpy to an extent.

I just look forward to playing Bama in Tuscaloosa next year and having Kamara run the ball down their ******* throats all day. You KNOW he will have a chip on his shoulder that day.

You're throwing Rocky Reid in there? Dude is a 3 star prospect, 58th best RB in the country. He might end up being a Tauren Poole type, but he's not stepping in here day 1 and running with the big boys. Likely a Tom Smith type.

He just doesn't look right. Wish he could get it together.

 

[Volru]

Noticed that. Jakob Johnson and Cortez McDowell made the two deep too. Blair back on.

Think you might be selling the kid a little short.

What was up with Pickett getting so many touches on Saturday? Anyone actually know? I'd have liked to see what Scott could do a little more. I also think on another offensive note, that after we went up 31-3, with the punishment Worley had taken up to that point, you have to pull him at that point and put in Peterman. Also, put in some backup OL (if we have any) to get them some reps. I mean, it couldn't be that much worse than the starters who looked like swiss cheese all game vs. an FCS opponent.

The kid just broke the North Carolina state single-game rushing record last Friday. "Underrated" is a huge understatement. He plays stiff competition too.

FYI- North Carolina has a reputation for producing good running backs.

EDIT: If you want to talk recruiting numbers, let's look at the fact that Cam Sutton was a 3*, 78th best ATH nationally, 53rd in the state of Georgia. Pretty sure he made an immediate impact and has grown to be one of our most valuable assets.

I really hope Lane can play in this game. Asking Scott to pass protect in his 2nd game against that nasty defense is suicide.

Butch said the starting OL needs every rep they can get, I agree with him.

I think that's why they played Pickett and Scott against the mocs.. to see witch was better all around back.

I stated on another thread, that I thought lane was getting left behind either because of injury or that he's a senior and maybe checking out at this point . Either way I like the freshmen pair .

Yeah dude, I get that. I'm just saying he's not going to come in and do anything Day 1.

The recruiting rankings aren't perfect, but their a pretty good indication.

 

[Captain Mitch]

Can someone post the link to the depth chart for ole miss game?

Cool. You're the 898,982,293,198th person to make that claim, and yet data still supports the idea that star gazing is a better tool of gauging talent than hoping to find coals to turn into diamonds.

I agree with you, but I know of a method that is 100% foolproof. In this method, fans sit back with a wait and see approach instead of making definitive statements that a player can't make a day 1 impact because of the way a recruiting site ranks a player.

Could be totally wrong here, but I personally think Kamara will be the 2 deep back. Dude just looks like a beast on film.
