Tennessee releases depth chart for West Virginia game

[BeardedVol]

The first game-week Monday on the college football calendar brought Tennessee's first official depth chart of the 2018 season.

Hmmm....lotsa "OR" in them there hills.....

It's interesting that Brandon Kennedy has been named the starting center. He's a good kid and it's good that he won the starting spot. I think he has the potential to be First or Second Team All SEC center.

Todd Kelly Jr. is 3rd string?

 

[DiderotsGhost]

That is quite possibly the least informative depth chart I've ever seen.

Which is fine. No reason our opponents need to know the starters for every position in Game #1 of the new regime.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Nice to see Paul Bain on there.

 

[TennGentry]

Rucker is such a moron. Glad he got it handed to him.

I must have missed this. Can you please provide a very brief synopsis?

It's nice to see the defense healthy for the first time since 2015.

Time for Bain to get on scholarship.

If that is your strategy then you are fugged.

Rucker asked about Abernathy starting at Safety, and CJP responded with something like "you must know more than me and I'm out there on the practice field every day."

He asked Pruitt why Abernathy got the nod with so many other good safeties. Pruitt wasn’t a fan and basically said the media must know more than the coaches even when they aren’t the ones who watch them practice everyday. Pruitt wasn’t a fan of the depth chart being questioned.

I don't think I realized just how thin (depth wise) we were at DL until reading over this. I know I'm setting myself up for the overplayed Paul Bain stuff, but if either of our starting DEs go down, or even when they need breathers, do we consider moving Taylor or Kongbo back to DE? Obviously they're not as big as what we want the DEs to be in a 3-4.

 

[WillisWG]

Notice several 3rd string R-SRs on D. . .

 

[The Original Fade]

I’ve been a little surprised that Pruitt being a defensive minded guy who play Dback himself chose to keep Byrd on offense

Depth is going to be an issue until at best, the 2020 season.

Yep, a perfect way to disguise your starters, the CJP way . . . Don't give too much information!!!

He tried him out there in the spring. Apparently he didn't wow anybody.

 

[Spent Fuel]

With Abernathy starting, we just spotted WV 14 points.

 

[VOLED]

I am surprised with Bain behind Phillips and no George at CB. Also, only one SR on Offense and that is Chryst.
