Sapp
Lewis
Sutton
JRM
DKJ
Hurd - most probably (concussion?)
Thomas - still two bad ankles, probably


If we pull this off, against a very good undefeated team in front of a very hostile crowd, some 1,000 miles from Knoxville.......that would be.... :crazy:

I say pull out the stops in this one...
Jennings throw a halfback pass to Dobbs
Onside kick once
Rush 11 once and block a punt
Line up in the I formation or wishbone with Kamara/Kelly.

We played Florida and Georgia without most of those fellas.

Fact is, we have competitive depth now. We're no longer the paper-thin teams of 2013 and 2014.

This is gonna be a tough game against A&M, no doubt. Real dog fight. But if our lads play to their potential for 4 quarters, we got this.

Go Vols!

We miss those guys no doubt about that but go back and list all the gamers we do have available and then we have something to talk about.

We still have a wrecking ball of a team and they will be giving there all Saturday.

Plan A.

Who are they playing without?

Possibly Miles Garett and 2 wide receivers?

We are still loaded with talent across the board:

Ten deep on defensive line
Excellent secondary with 6-7 good players
Great kicking game
Super special teams featuring Evan Berry
Josh Dobbs
Offensive line coming together with Jones & Hall clicking on the right side. Thomas provides experienced depth and options in the rotation.
Good tight end in Wolf
Receivers are getting there.
Kamara is good. Kelley is ready and hard to wrap up.

Texas A&M always chokes. Per his track record, their QB is due a bad game.

We have a shot at it.

I really am getting pumped up by all you guys with the blinders on. Just like Al Davis said, "Just win, baby!!!!"

Wrong body part, Billy. Just because we're not breathing heavily through our open mouths, that does not mean we've got blinders on our eyes. We can see just fine, thank you. :)

If JH doesn't play, I can see JK having a solid game and freeing up Kamara for a few gashers. I love Hurd but JK is our future and I'm sure he wants to impress!


GBO!!!

I'm sick of this. Hubbs was on the Sports Animal yesterday discussing the game and you'd have thought we were still Moral Victory U and aTm was the 85 Bears.

I hope we come out with a huge Big Orange chip on our shoulders.

Um, they don't even do that with Hurd, doubt we see it with Kamara and Kelly

It's still a very winnable game, go out there and play like their hair is on fire, for all 4 quarters

GBO

Look at it this way, they don't have a lot of film on UT's backups, it's hard to scheme around the unpredictable.

P.S. I hope you Vols down in Florida will get through this storm without any major problems. It looks like we've dodged a bullet here in SE North Carolina.

Who wants to be the first to tell this guy who we beat without those same guys and that we look better now than we have all year?

If the game is real close in the 4th qtr I really like our chances. Been there done that. This team don't flinch. If Texas A&M cant put us away early they are doomed.

Only thing that matters is we got the better QB. We will prevail.
