QB 1st start against Montana State as did their Center. Our pass rush will be key. They play fast as the refs will let them. Could be a dangerous team if Tennessee isnt focused. But I don't see that happening. I think our OL gets better push Saturday and the RBs look better. I'm not sure their DL is up to Utah State standards. I think Worley has another good outing. I predict he goes over 300 yards. Lane or Hurd gets close to if not over 100 yards. For some reason I think Arkansas State gets a couple scores. But I'm going with UT 45-10.

This was posted by one of their fans on their site.

We have some talent but a lot of young talent...played 12 freshmen Saturday. 5 coaches in 5 years has taken a toll on numbers. We are young and inexperienced in the 2 deep.

Our back 7 on defense is our strength. Q. Lee is a beast at LB...you'll hear his name called a bunch Saturday. Our DL has a lot of new faces but they have some skill and size although a lot of young inexperienced faces. A bunch saw action Saturday and for the most part held up well. We limited FCS Montana State on the ground and held on 3rd down consistently. They'll be OK given time.

Offense has some really good skill players but OL had to be rebuilt due to graduation and losing one key returnee due to conclusion issues.

The OL needs a few games to gel but they have size and talent...just young..for the most part.

Knighten, QB can hurt you with his legs, Gordon if healthy can be scary for you and McKissic is a do everything sort of threat. Houston is an up and coming WR who showed great hands Saturday and good blocking skills. Griswold is a skillful TE who was a former QB in HS who can catch and block and has some agility.

We have a stable of young RBs behind Gordon that all appear to have some speed and talent but mainly they showed determination last Saturday all trying to earn more touches.

A pleasant surprise is how well Luke Ferguson our kickoff, punter, PAT guy did Saturday. He was solid in every facet and had a 60 yd punt and a 41 yd FG to impress the home crowd.

Hi everyone! I'm a loyal Red Wolves fan. I'm not a hater, just a fan. I wanted to say that I an really looking forward to visiting Neyland Stadium for the 1st time this weekend. It'll be overwhelming I'm sure. Just like Auburn was last year.
We've got a busy few weeks ahead of us. The Vols this week then on to Miami next week to play the Hurricane. We are back home the following week to play the team they y'all just demolished.
I just hope that we make a good game out of it with you guys. Getting blown out is never easy to swallow.
We do have a lot expectations at ASU. I guess having the caliber of head coaches pass through here has caused that. It's a two-edged sword though. It's tough getting the reputation as a one-&-done launching pad for head coaches yet it's nice to make it to a Bowl game every year. Coach Anderson seems to have the mentality of staying & building. He introduced #buildingamonster & it's caught on. The problem is that when you have a successful season & the big schools come a calling flashing the $$$, what's a guy to do?
Again I look forward to the whole experience this Saturday...thx!!!
