Which shoulder did Small injure? I was having issues getting logged in and missed a good portion of the first half. I know he had a similar injury last year. Might have been against Pitt I cant remember.
I believe it was his right arm/shoulder. They showed him exercising it on the sideline which lead me to think it wasn't serious.

There is no tactical advantage to keep the opponent guessing. They will prepare for Tillman and if he doesn't play, that will just give them a confidence boost at game time. I'd rather do it the other way around. Say all 3 are doubtful, then boost your own squad by suiting up ready to play.

And that is exactly what coaches want their opponent to do...prepare as if the best players are playing. If JH told Florida that Tillman wasnt going to play, Florida would immediately adjust their defensive strategy accordingly to focus on Bru or Hiatt more. If Tillman ends up not playing, UF will have to adjust on the fly now.

Gator fans would disagree with you about Dean. He’s not awful but he does a lot of dumb stuff that gets on people’s nerves like flexing after a tackle on a 12 yard gain on 3rd and 10. Does this all the time.

Cox is big time but gets himself out of position sometimes because he’s trying to take the game over, Ventrell Miller is the best player on defense. CB Jason Marshall (#3) and Gervon Dexter (#9) are likely future high draft picks. Marshall always plays like it, Dexter doesn’t.

If Ventrell Miller is out, and my guess is he will be, huge advantage for TN.
While watching the UF/Utah game I remember thinking Tennessee just doesn't have any guys like #51. He single-handedly made me feel like we don't have a championship-caliber defense.

Plays like a madman, smart, fast, all that. But missed 10 games last year to a torn pec, hurt something ankle/knee/calf (lower extremity) vs KY. I’ve pretty much written him off for this weekend but I sure hope he comes back by season’s end.

Swain has always said when you get an ankle sprain then get them in a boot. VQ guys said it is a sprain. Question is: high or low?

I’d venture to say if there’s any question at all that he can’t go at 100% they will keep him out…especially with an open date coming up.

From what I've seen, the players Tennessee needs to be wary of at each defensive level are Brenton Cox, Ventrell Miller, and Trey Dean. All three are very good.

Im wearing a John Metchie jersey to the game(Texans jersey not the other). Dean is taken care of.

On Sampson's first touchdown, Tillman got his legs chopped out from under him by Sampson at the end of the play. I wonder if he wasn't a little gimpy already before the high pass low hit incident.

Do you remember the episode of Coach where he was playing his old mentor in a bowl game? Coach Fox had his qb fake an injury a few days before the game. The QB sat in a wheelchair on the sideline until the final series when he got up, put on his helmet, and led the game winning drive 😂

Bru needs to play well and maul a few dbs. I would look for a fake screen and hit Hyatt deep. UF has no one in the secondary that can run with Hyatt

If Tillman is out, and I’m speculating he will be out Sat. unfortunately, this would be an awesome week for Ramel Keyton to step up and show why the star gazers rated him highly out of HS!!
I appreciate this. Keyton doesn't look like anything beyond a possession receiver from any time I have seen him. Not like that's a horrible thing. I just dont seem him making big plays. There is always a place for a guy you can throw to as 3rd or 4th option to move the chains.
