Not sure what owning up means, but if it means proving ones self on a big stage, I think striker has done that. Really, I don't see anything he said as being that insulting. The message I got was he's tired of the sec love fest and considers Hurd just another opponent who puts his pads on just like everyone else. He's got that mentality that he's not going to shake in his cleats because he's playing UT on the road. Hurd may be the next Eric Dickerson but it's not like striker hasn't seen his fair share of great backs. OU has a 1700 yard back he sees every day in practice. Folks are making way too much of the comments. Bottom line is UT, does indeed, need to get it done on the field. Until they do, it's just recruiting hype and fan enthusiasm.
Hurd us a huge kid.
Lead with the crown of your helmet and make that dude see Jesus.
You come to challenge us at our house and talk smack and your football career should be in jeopardy.
Sweep the leg Johnny, sweep the leg!!!!!
The Maggitt interview I heard was interesting yesterday. Seems to be a feeling amongst these guys that this is in the bag. There is an underlying cockiness and a sense that they know they are about to whoop their a$$.
Butch Jones has recruited a different caliber of player to Tennessee. Not just guys that are highly touted. But also uber confident. I knew this season would be special when I saw Austin Smith and Quay Picou predict we'd win the national title the next 2 years during NSD.
These kids have set their goals sky high. Now its time to deliver. And I have faith they will.
1-27 or 27-1 still doesn't mean a thing to anyone but fans and talking heads. Brand new season and different teams. The kids playing this game on both sides think of 2013 as ancient history.
