Based on everything that's being said I have come to believe that Wolf will be the TE and Helm the backup.

Gilliam and Blair will battle it out till the very end. But I get what you're saying they bleed orange and you have to have guys like that to truly be passionate about your program's direction.

Brandon Downs- Losing snaps this season. Has been a year 2 starter, now seemed forgotten.. Rare when that happens

Happens when you have injuries. And if memory serves me, his knees have taken a lot of abuse.

If they play well, they could be nicknamed "The Smokey MOUNTAINS"

Stole this from Beano. UT is better when it has at least 3 offensive linemen from Tennessee.
