Bailey appears to be the QB today due to JG being either in quarantine most of the week or having the virus himself. That alone should help us, since JG is so prone to disastrous turnovers. All Bailey has to do is hand the ball off to Gray & have our stellar OL pave the way for a lot of long time-consuming drives to hog the ball & not let Trask have many possessions & we might actually have a chance to pull off a big upset.

There was also an unconfirmed report that Pruitt had stomach flu that might prevent him coaching today. He had said earlier in the season that if he ever had the virus & couldn't coach that Tee would take over. Might that happen today? If so, what if Tee as HC pulled off the upset? He beat the gators in '98 as QB, something even Peyton was unable to do in all his time on The Hill. If Tee beat them as HC today, would there be a clamoring to make him the permanent HC?

I don't think Tee is ready, but Fulmer jumped in when Majors was out (for a longer time).

I like Bailey’s chances to show some flashes of talent today. Tennessee will likely still get beat by 3+ touchdowns, not sure how they'll guard Pitts. But Gators D is 💩.

And if Bailey starts I can at least stomach the “potential” for a better future.

I’m gonna watch a game for once instead of just tuning in once in a while for updates.

The "Tee beat Florida when Peyton couldn't" narrative is one of the most overblown false narratives in UT history.

Ball control is gonna be huge. We can’t run on first and second and then throw only on 3rd down. Really want to see Bailey shine today

I bet Gruden is flying into TYS soon to help coach if Pruitt can’t. Can we get a flight tracker and crew down there to intercept every private plane that lands? Good times. Good times

If this dont work out and Pruitt is still the coach for next week we need to do what Vandy did in a way. We can go get one of the softball girl pitchers who have a strong arm and bring her onto the team to play QB.

I've watched a few Lady Vols softball pitchers throw. Wicked. Scary. Fast.

@Freak can you PLEASE devise a pre-emptive filter that will hide ANYTHING with the name Gruden in it?

Thanks in advance...

Thats what I'm afraid of. They're only going to let HB throw the ball in 3rd and long situations

If that’s the case then it makes you wonder about Cheney’s trust in him and I’m wondering why. Last year he was slinging the ball all over the yard with Maurer and very conservative with JG. I can’t believe that some can’t see what that says about levels of trust.
