Not thread worthy but I'm bored at work. I'm curious at to who people think will get the first shot at QB if JG gets injured or benched. Maybe someone like DeerPark can give an informed opinion.
Boy that depends. My guess is they would want to protect HB's eligibility for as long as possible and not burn his redshirt. With Covid causing an extra year of eligibility he could be around a long time.
I'd say BM gets first crack assuming JG is benched. If JG has a serious (multi week) injury maybe a different story.
Protect HB's eligibility ??? I say play him while you got him. Doubtful he will be here four years anyway.Boy that depends.

I don't know the order it would happen but should QB1 become open I'd bet that HB will indeed get his shot as will Shrout and BM. I've no knowledge whatsoever and this is pure speculation on my part but I think Pruitt and BM may have a plan to sit him all season this year unless it's an emergency type situation later in the year. I only say that because it let's him get healthy both physically and mentally and would allow him to be ready to battle for QB1 in '21 or would set him up in a good situation for transfer. It's probably simply that his leg injury has held him back, regardless, I think it's odd we're not hearing much at all about a kid that got 3 or 4 starts his Freshman year in Knoxville, not that common of a thing for past Vol QBs.Not thread worthy but I'm bored at work.

Also....what will the offense look like with the qb2 you think they play?
I think by end of last year Guarantano pretty much reclaimed starting job. So that carried over into this year, and BM has that injury so I think it’s pretty expected to not be hearing all that much. Shrout was getting the most reps other than Guarantano so I’d assume he’d be up next if something were to happen.I don't know the order it would happen but should QB1 become open I'd bet that HB will indeed get his shot as will Shrout and BM.

Am I wrong, isn't Maurer listed as number 2? That's my guess as to how it would go....
NCAA ruled that this season does not count as far as player eligibility......Example...A senior this year that normally would have no eligibility left can now comeback next season...What am I hearing about this year doesn't matter as far as red shirts? Can someone with knowledge expand on that. Is the play four game rule out the window?
I'm so confused!
