Watching the replay of the UGA/MSU game, and I'm pretty impressed with how elusive the kid is. I knew he was a good back, but he really impressed me. I hope our D-line steps up and doesn't let Georgia's line create big holes and that we can learn to wrap up or he might run all around us Saturday. That being said, looking forward to Saturday under the lights at Neyland!

GBO!!!

I agree here. The kid is huge and fast. I guess the other backs jumped ship for a reason. Our d line has a big job to stop him.

Haven't seen the MSU game but at Ole Miss he looked good on a not great team. Ole Miss looked like a team full of athletes and no QB. Excited to see what we look like.

They say that about all their backs that show the least bit of promise. They said it about Danny Ware, Knowshon Moreno, Caleb King, and now this kid. They need to stop living in the past and realize there is only one Herschel.

Crowell is fluid, has good vision, and very good speed. He's not a run over people type of player. He sees the hole and plants his foot and goes. Perhaps running behind a line that would make any back look good is helping, but the Crowell and Thomas combo is going to be tough to stop.

IMO, we're going to have to sell out to stopping the run and containing Murray by loading the box and bringing heavy pressure. This will leave us somewhat vulnerable to the UGA recievers which are also pretty good, but Murray can and has been prone to over throw his recievers. I'm thinking a cover 2 zone with over the top help from the safties -especially on Mitchel- could lead to a couple of picks. But Wilcox may try using the nickel packages he's been working on to bring blitzes from all around the formation to create the pressure on Murray.

This is going to be one of the biggest tests of Coach Wilcox's vaunted defensive genius. I think this game is going to more of a coaching duel than it will be about player match ups. The guys have to execute, but the coaches have to put them in the right positions to start with. This year the base 4 3 will not get it done. UGA is just a little too big, strong, fast, and talented at every layer of the offense.

All that being said, I think UT wins 31-24.

GO VOLS!

The thing about IC is that he looks noticeably worse as the game goes on. This theme has repeated itself the last two weeks.

Still a very good back, and one that shouldn't be taken lightly.

Very true. Good observation. He doesn't seem to be a back like Lattimore (sp?) that can take a ton of hard hits week in and week out. Might also be due to still being a freshman and not being fully ready for the role he's having to play. I think that's why UGA uses the 2 back combo of Crowell and Thomas and also throws Samuals (sp?) in there a few times per game. Crowell isn't a 40 touches per game back. Then again, the UGA offense has enough balance that he doesn't have to be.

This is a fact. I would use MSU as a measuring stick.

I'm not misinformed at all. All my in laws are from Georgia and unfortunately I am down that way a few times a year. I've heard it all. That is as long as you guys are winning. When things start going bad, they won't even talk about football. Typical UGA fans.
