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

I expect to see more of an open offense - similar to the two drives against Auburn. There will be plenty of running, but a mix of passing across the middle, etc. - until we prove we can't do that. We need HB to be injury free, hopefully very few turnovers and to have an average to decent performance. He looks a little big and awkward, but understands the position, moving in the pocket, leading his receivers, putting touch on the ball, running himself if there is an opportunity, and stuff most quarterbacks learn in high school. Also, stuff we have not seen around these parts in a while. He will likely make some good plays and some freshman plays - Peyton's first game was pretty awful - nothing to write home about, if I remember correctly.

If we score in the 20's it should be considered a winning experiment. 10 - 17 what we would have scored with the previous starter. It will at least be interesting I hope.

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?

HA!@...He needs to learn how to run an offense before that...He was terrible at USC as OC...Let him go coach some in the bush leagues first and then give him a shot at the big stage.

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

Manning was the better QB. No one can argue that.

But Florida had Peyton's number. Nothing "false" about it.

Tee and his legs did make a difference that one year he beat them. And his pass to Peerless. No costly turnovers. But UTs defense was very stingy that night! Downright nasty defense.

Best I can tell Pruitt hasn’t coached all season, so I expect business as usual.

Tired of people saying Tee is not ready! Why not ? Heck Will Healy got a shot and look how well he has done.

If Tee wasn't a VFL, he would not even by in any conversation about this. Healy has nothing to do with Tee.
