McCord just declared for the draft.

Not that I was super worried- but an early season game against the nations leader in passing yards could’ve led to an interesting early season matchup.

Backup is in the portal as well- so probably looking for a transfer qb.

After Ward and Sanders it’s a limited class. Looks like a good decision for him.

McCord was a baller, so I'm glad we don't have to play him. They're defense was awful this year so I'm feel much better about that game now. Still a decent test, but one is think we should win.

I have one of the game balls from that game.

Jeff Hall walked it off with a FG when we trailed by 2.

A few plays before that, UT faced 4th and long. The pass was incomplete, but the Syracuse DB interfered, giving UT 1st and 10. Had that PI not been called, UT would likely have lost the game and never played for the NC. Like the “stumbled and fumbled” play against Arkansas, it was one of the things that went the Vols’ way and led to the NC.

McCord was a transfer himself.

I think Fran will land another good QB.

Yep and we're still not certain about what we'll be on the OL or how the WR room will end up. Hoping against hope that our evals have improved the last couple of classes and some of these younger players are ready to contribute.

And the PI wasn't blatant IIRC.

In '98, we played Syracuse.


Not implying anything, but...

In a dome, after losing a postseason game 42-17. Feels like 98.




Or it feels like 2017, when we opened up in Atlanta against an ACC team after missing out on an SEC Championship appearance in Atlanta the year prior because we lost to a 6-6 team on the road as big favorites.

Luckily we have a much better coach and quarterback than we did in 2017
