UT vs. WK *Official Game Thread*

[tidwell]

That was fun. Hard to get excited about the rest of the season considering how bad WKU is, but that was fun.

poole should be #2 rb imo. i like them all, just seemed like he ran harder than the other three.

Keep in mind that he was running against an exhausted WKU defense...
just sayin'
I don't think there's a bad back in the mix...

Love those stats. Feels like the mid 1990s Vols again. I swear that was what it was like at the game. I just felt like we were back, now I know WKU was a sorry team. Great teams put up numbers like this against crappy teams. We WOULD NEVER put these numbers up last year.

I agree 100%. In the past we would have won by a decent margin. We haven't dominated like this in a long time.

How does everyone feel about nukeese at punt returner? Could just be nerves being first game. Kinda concerned.

As long as he catches the ball, he is a threat to take it every time. He will get big returns but probably fumble once or twice s well. This is why he is not as prominent in the offense.

HUH? Ahead of Bryce?

 

[UTah VOL]

I want to see more of Poole. He seems to find the ground personally revolting - HATES to go down. All backs do, but I loved the way he fought to keep his feet.

HUH? Ahead of Bryce?

prob not, i jsut thought he ran his heart out. I good with whatever the coach decides.:good!:k:

so true. GO VOLS!

Favorite ESPN quote, "Tennessee has 4 legitimate backs." 'Nuff said.

 

[orangetitanfan]

We will beat Florida! Tebow will get sacked often, very often! Mark my word.......I don't think that CLK showed everything today. UCLA beware!

 

[EBerryIsYourDad]

Kiffin said they got on Bryce for going out of bounds instead of lowering his shoulder on his long run. Said "that's not how we play football here." I love it.

That's what we have needed for a long time!

The discipline on the side lines was very good , these kids are really getting a taste of the NFL! Also Haynsworth was down in front of us for the whole game pretty much,don't know who the guy is that was with him? UCLA might better watch out!

Didn't get to see any of the game. Haven't seen anything on Berry today. Did he play much and was he typical Eric Berry?

 

[bornbleedinorange]

Well it's that time! Gameday, officially!

I can't sleep and I am so pumped up. Thankfully I have a fantasy draft at 10 in the morning to pass the time until game time. If it's still going on at game time it will be set to auto pick!

My prediction:

TN: 45 WK: 3

intresting that crompton had one more touchdown in two quarters than he did all of last year and i think recruites liked seeing four true freshman score tds bring on ucla im want some bruin blood

They threw it his way on the second play of the game....almost made a spectacular diving pick.

They avoided him the rest of the game. He sat most of 2nd half.

Sorry to break it to you, but Albert's eligibility is gone. Unless you are implying his presence is so intimidating it affects our opponents play.

Probably this.

 

[mattvols]

One complaint and that is all and it is very minor. I think it was alot cooler when as soon as the T split we were running out instead of jumping around for a minute

Absolutely. I just got back home from the game and that is what good teams are supposed to do to inferior teams. The first quarter was frustrating because you could tell the offense was way better this year but had the two turnovers. I really liked the way Crompton played. More TDs today than all of last year. What about Teague? Was that a great debut at receiver or what? Absolutely stoked about the direction the team is headed. Bryce Brown is as advertised. The future is looking good.
