Did Khalil Mackenzie play?

[vol-un-tear]

Abernathy played very well and was the best player on d

He stepped up without JRM. Looked fast

 

[Remy]

Agree. Only, we didn't get near App State's QB either. Lamb threw 23 passes....we certainly had no sacks. I'm not sure we ever even hurried him or knocked him down.

He was back pedaling almost every toss, really noticeable on the TD pass he just threw it up.

I remember at least three QB hurries that led to incomplete passes--and, ironically, a hurry that was caught for a touchdown. I think later this weekend when the full stats come out, Tennessee's performance against the 3rd ranked O-line in the nation [https://www.profootballfocus.com/college-football-top-10-offensive-lines-in-notre-dame-stanford/] will feel better than it did Friday morning.

Big disappointment so far. Just like last year based on his hype is only reason I say that

One game...LOL Can we trade you to Bama?

 

[JohnD13]

Was ran out of bounds and called out the fans on Twitter. Needs to play better and talk less. Very unimpressed with this him so far.

One game.

SMDH

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He's only a sophomore...... And people are already saying he's a bust? Wow

Also, the guy didnt play his entire SR year in HS. The way some of our fans react is beyond pathetic. I think some people thought he was going to be the best since Henderson as soon as he got here.

I agree. Abernathy was the standout. He was diagnosing plays and tackling like a boss - very much like Sutton. Barring injury, he will be a star by the end of this year.

 

[norriscraftbasser]

I believe that KM just has a lot of learning to do, I say his senior year he will be unlockable. Takes time to learn his position especially after coming in out of shape,not to mention not playing his senior year in H.S.. Just my thoughts.

 

[RockyTop140]

Did you watch the game?

Yes, and I noticed Mckenzie was either not playing or irrelevant.

 

[VolinMC]

I also thought Abernathy played very well too. I thought Vereen and Sutton would do well as usual. Glad to see McDowell come in for Maybin and do good,was a little curious about linebacker depth.

Mackenzie not getting playing time, certainly answers a few questions, no?

Abernathy defended the game winning pass, cheers to Abernathy

Butch is saving the players for Florida:crazy:

I may have missed it somewhere, but where was Quart'e Sapp?

Can't beat out Vickers and O'Brien that should tell you everything you need to know. It looks like he is going to be a bust. Really need to get Tuttle back, he is by far the best we have when healthy.

That is a well coached offense. TN defense needs to get meaner and make some moves and we need to rush the ball more on the ends

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

Thought McDowell played pretty good, too, considering the circumstances.

Bust after 1 season? Henderson RS his frosh year, and didn't bust out until his RS sophmore year, his 3rd year in the program.

Get it together

 

[UTVOLS1614]

was definitely impressed by abernathy. the one play where he forced the qb to pitch and then proceeded to tackle the pitch man you dont see often

 

[VolinMC]

Abernathy defended the game winning pass, cheers to Abernathy

He also had 7 tackles and played well in coverage the whole game in his first start.

 

[CoachMatt]

To be honest against an offense like that I thought he did a decent job controlling that a & b gap considering the majority of the runs where they got big yardage was around the edge! It's our linebackers that I feel could have played a little better!!

 

[Volzfan38024]

5* coming out of high scool means you contribute year one and should be very good by year 2. May take him a few games getting use to playing with the new weight. In his defense, we ran a lot of basic d until late 3rd ad 4th quarters.

 

[VolFootballlover]

Yes he played , and got his butt kicked all over the field

You're ignorant as hell

You serious Clark? Kirkland was all over the place and McDowell played like an SEC starter. I thought the linebackers played very well.
