Jordan Rogers just said we get blown out by Bama and we lose to A&M close but that one has potential for A&M to beat us bad too.

Must be tough living in big brother's shadow. You have do stupid things for attention.

He also picked us to get beat by Florida so this is good.

Ok my Vol family, which defense is better, A&M or UF? Your opinion please. I feel UF's defense is but wanted to hear what you guys have to say.

Also.. A&M had trouble against that vaunted south Carolina team and defense.

But they are a touchdown favorite over us?

Alrighty then. See you Saturday.

Tennessee offensive lineman takes a dig at Myles Garrett

'When anything is written about Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett, it always includes something about him possibly being the best defensive player or even best overall player in college football. The 6-foot-5, 270-pound junior has a very real shot at being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

When a team is preparing to face the Aggies, the opposing offensive linemen become all too familiar with the reigning SEC sack and tackles for loss leader.

It was interesting then, when Tennessee left tackle Brett Kendrick was asked about blocking Garrett this coming weekend.

"I've blocked Derek Barnett all training camp," Kendrick said, according to GoVols247, "so I know what it's like to go against the best."'

I really hope Kendrick steps up his game this weekend. He's had his fair share of "olé" blocks this season and he hasn't faced anyone like Garrett to this point. Really interesting that he's making comments like this.

Sorry about my earlier post. It was poorly written

Here is what I meant to say.


If Hurd is the guy 74 betrays him as being he is our version of TO and beckham. Remember 74 explained Hurd going after the reporter last year for comparing him to Chubb and fornette by saying Hurd thought he was better than both and was upset for being mentioned with them. So if he is a guy that wanted to transfer and wishes he had transferred now he is no better than Those other selfish circus acts


Now my hope is 74 is the circus act and not Hurd.

Home field advantage at A&M.

We're missing key defenders + Kirkland won't play or won't be a factor.

We don't score early and they score LOTS early.

Betting line explained.

I'll be here all week. :hi:

He's basically complimenting his teammate. If they want to make a "red team" out of it...them's the breaks.

Maths is hard for me, but I believe they're only averaging 10 points in non-Prairie View A&M games.

They didn't score lots early or at all against south Carolina...


We've been missing key players and stars on this team for weeks. Still 5-0.

I think the reason why UGA almost beat us is because they watched the App State game and tried to design their game plan around it. Bleed all the clock you can. Slow down our offense. Run right at us and don't give up on the run. Stack the box and Make Dobbs throw.

Obviously App st and UGA were not successful per say but they made for close games when they really shouldn't have been close. The only way they could limit our scoring and keep it close was to eat up time of possession. You have to admit it almost worked each time.

I don't think A&M tries this strategy because it's just not really their game. Sumlin likes to play fast on offense and throw the ball. Before this year, they really couldn't run the ball successfully. We are a team built to stop what Sumlin likes to do. Not saying he won't adopt the same game plan as UGA and App State and be successful at it but seems like It'd be out of character for him.

You give Dobbs and co possessions, they'll put up points. Just a matter of time. I think you're spot on regarding that. I also think when teams try to go up tempo and the speed of the game is "opposite of clock bleed" this team responds really well on offense.

A&M is a great team with lots of talent on both sides. But, so are we. We're also as physical as anyone, and if this ones tight late in the game, we'lol pull it out.

It certainly goes both ways... The OL hasn't been great, but he has Bounced and missed some openings as well

This is very true... there have been times where Hurd hasn't seen the hole very well. I really do wonder about his ability to see open holes or cutback lanes.
