This Arkansas team has inside Tennessee information, ex-Vols Addison Nichols at center and Doneiko Slaughter as a defensive back. They transferred in the winter.

“They’ve been great additions,” said coach Sam Pittman. “They’re both starters." Nice read Mr. West! GO VOLS!
The bigger takeaway from this is that they are starting 2 of our subs..

Do you think Heupel is more worried about Slaughters “inside knowledge “ or Pittman is more worried about Heupel and Company exposing Slaughter wherever he is on the field??? On a separate note…wish everyone involved in Nichols decisions making had been more patient.

My take would be the opposite, CJH will know how to exploit those two, especially Slaughter. I would take CJH's disguising things over slaughter remembering what we do, what the calls are. Plus routes are options based on the D.

Thought he left because Lang had passed him on the depth chart. I think maybe we have more depth on the OL than we think.

PFF gives Nichols an overall offensive grade of 63.4 out of the 304 snaps played this year.

I think the inside info they are sharing with the staff is it’s going to be Vols by fiddy.

Don't think Mr West felt that was very significant. Just worth a short mention.

The offense will be all about OL protection again this week. Expect Heupel to play to what the defense gives and that might not be throwing downfield very often. He will lean on this defense...

He may have. But I wish all had been more patient. Hard to tell where 300 LB kids are going to end up athletically and he may have developed and seen some run this year. If he can play for Pittman…he can play.

I suspect that Jackson Ross will be punting less in this game compared to the Oklahoma matchup.

Much ado about nothing. They will know the particulars they were taught but the coaches already see all of this on the film. The only "inside information" that could be damaging is if they use the same signals. Given the helmet audio now this is also mitigated.

Bottom line is if we lose a game due to former players knowledge we have the wrong coaches. I am 100% confident this is not the case.
