Injury Updates

Wouldn’t play him unless we’re way ahead. False start waiting to happen.
I think if he's ready to go, we try to get him in for a few spots. It'll do him good to get a little exposure to playing in that type of environment rather than just throwing him into the fire in Tuscaloosa.
 
I've been impressed with Umarov. I think Pendelton has disappointed a little, but it's hard to really complain about the OL.
If Sanders comes back, does Perry move to guard in place of Umarov? Before the season started it seemed like Satterwhite was neck and neck with Pendleton for center and it seemed like Pendleton was going to play guard to get our best five out there until Perry emerged so strong…
 
Love the Sanders news. I do hate seeing Dye out, as it’s nice to have a three man rotation on that strong side to keep snap counts down. Keeps Bailey from having to swing out there. But Weathersby and West should be able to hold down the fort at SDE in regular packages, then we’ll bring in another LEO in rabbits.
 
If UT doesn't figure out how to get through the season without losing half the team, the 9 game SEC schedule will put the Vols in the basement.
The reality of college football is now it takes a lot of money to field your starters, while your good backups and rotational players get sniped by schools that offer them a starting gig.

I remember a segment with Josh Pate and Cole Cubilic last year where they talked about teams who were contenders but their backup OL were all true freshman because they couldn’t keep promising sophomores or juniors on the bench for a year or two to develop. It’s an issue that nearly every team is facing.
