Texas A&M expected to have over a dozen players out with COVID

[Lane Train 4]

We are cursed! This game is going to end up getting postponed giving Guarantanto a chance to come back as the starter. Tennessee football is like groundhog day with Guarantano. Remember that time he broke his hand and was still named the starter?

HAIL FAR; A&M can beat UT with 20 out! Long as Mond is there; we have no answer. The line dropped to 8; meaning TAM is planning to play.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I doubt very seriously this game will be played, it's already been taken off betting boards

So this thread is to complain about the idea that one of our players may get better from a head injury?

It's ok we don't play, it will be a stress free Saturday watching other teams play.

Good. the line will go down and I can roll A&M heavy.

 

[tnvols72]

They would still roll Tenn

Not with Covid. One staffer & one player are positive, everyone else is out because of contact tracing. Presumably unless there's any more positives, it stops there.

There are 85 on the roster and 53 needed to play the game. Seems unlikely to cancel.

If TAM doesn’t practice today, they will postpone the game.

Been rumored that Mond may not be available thus the betting line being scratched. 12 players so far not available, more tests back today.

Auburn will also be without players next week as they have halted operations due to 9 positive tests, thus would rule them out next week.

TAMU's could only field freshman and whip Tennessee's ass all over the field right now. Tennessee has ZERO offensive identity, zero direction, zero chance of winning anything else.

King vs Bailey

 

[Dudleys87]

Good Tennessee needs the practice

 

[CAVPUT]

Even a bakers dozen won't be enough. Only a cancellation can save the Vols and this fan base.

 

[willinhf]

...and still will beat UT by multiple scores.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Good Tennessee needs the practice

We worked on "fundamentals" last week and we still can't stop the slant, the OL and DL still have awful leverage technique, and we still can't make halftime adjustments. Not sure this is a blessing with our coaching staff.....

I was being sarcastic.
Weeks and weeks of practice wouldn’t help.
There’s things going on behind the scenes at Tennessee in my opinion

 

[BP4Prez]

My gosh this is going to be embarrassing.

Yes

That means more they are protecting themselves until they know who is playing imo.

Otherwise insiders knowing Mond is in/out could unbalance their books a lot. Mond's covid situation and JG's concussion could sway this line a ton.

 

[utvolpj]

Yes

That's very sad. It's just a game

Practice?

 

[Dudleys87]

Practice?

Sarcasm.

Months of practice wouldn’t help Tennessee at this point.

 

[25801VOL]

We need starting 22 out to win. Hell their 4th string QB can probably throw a slant and that’s all it really takes to beat us.

Sad to say, I second this motion.
