Guys if that does not make you feel better than the last two years starting line up I don't know what to say. We definately look good on paper!

EDIT: Added Rivals rankings for you star gazers!

 

[voldawgforever]

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BlueTick Vol]

Randolf put some weight on.

 

[gator haters]

I did not realize that James was as big as Tiny

 

[W.A.O.]

That's a really big FS

 

[gator haters]

How does our offensive line rank average size wise compared to everyone else? I know they always say Wisconson has a huge line and we seem to have the same size

 

[mreed90]

Dude, 295 for Randolph....what? No way a safety is 300 pounds.

 

[BigSteve09]

I do feel a lot better going into this season

5 Sr
13 Jr (15 incl ST)
4 So (5 incl Young)
ZERO Fr

I think the experience and maturity will be a glaring difference from the past 2 years

edit: guys, we get it, our safety isn't 295 pounds.

Yeah.. def a typo.

 

[jasonvol18]

Maybe Teague has improved but right now he scares me to death playing corner. Are these definite or just opinion? Thought Bullock was brought in to kickoff and Coleman was one of the corners? Im guessing its opinion based though I thought Dooley was using tonights practice as a determining factor but everything else looked as projected.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

Worst part about our team is special teams. I hope teague is as good as advertised.

 

[005]

Coleman could still win a corner job. it could be Coleman/Teague for all we know. Teague had a brilliant scrimmage at science hill, maybe he will continue to show that progress this evening.

 

[Smokey1210]

Changed Randolph's weight sorry about the typo.

I agree but also plenty of FR will get playing time this year. WIll be curious to see the exact starting lineup and the 2 deep.

Opinion but I also feel like it is a pretty educated one. Lol

According to ESPN the average size of Wisconsin's OL last year was 6-5 322 lbs. According to the info in this thread our average size would be 6-5 317.8 lbs. Pretty impressive!

 

[Vol8188]

That's a lot of JR's and SR's, I approve.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Looks to me like Tiny is Huge and catching up with McCullers. I would hope to be in front of the buffet line and not in back...just saying. I love this lineup if it's true or not because the guys that will be on 2nd & 3rd teams are just as good.

The size is impressive but matters naught if they don't run block any better. If they can run block half as good as the Wisconsin OL then we will have a top 10 offense...in the Nation!

 

[gordonr24]

That's the biggest front 7 we've had since I can remember.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

How has neal done on cutting down his turnovers??

 

[Reformed Reader]

Id like to see Watson and not Patterson returning kicks. Dont want the CP to get hurt.

The Vols are larger than every other SEC school than LSU. Given that the next closest after Tennesseee is Alabama, we definitely have the size to be good. Let's just hope it actually works out that we belong in their company.

 

[volsrule01]

This is so refreshing have SEC caliber players who are experienced. Can't wait.

 

[ACvol3]

I'd say it's 195......
