No they aren't. Their depth chart is public and their WR corps is pretty similar in size to UT's. UT's WR's are MORE athletic on the whole than theirs though Washington is pretty speedy.
DGB has been somewhat of a disappointment to this point. He has failed to learn how to use his athleticism and size to make plays on a consistent basis.
Really? Franklin was having a very good season prior to his injury. I expect to see him this Saturday night in relief of Mauk.
Mauk has hit a couple of "lucky" passes that have inflated his yardage. He completes under 50% so far and has two INT's to go with 2 TD's.
While he is mobile, he has not run. Part of that is because they do not have a good back up.
ONLY if UT's OL is poorly coached or fails to execute what they learn from film study vs Mizzou. Again, this is MU's system on D vs UT's talent.
There are always risks with young players but Dobbs' intelligence and cool should serve the Vols better than avg. He needs to do enough to keep them off balance so that UT's big OL can lean on Mizzou's DL for awhile.
Good Lord. I said I disagreed with one comment about talent, and you get all defensive and start trying to find something wrong with everything else I said.
I prefer to watch the games and see the players in action to judge talent, rather than look at recruiting rankings, and asterisks grouped together in 2's-5's. You can claim to not be a star gazer all you want, but what you said just prior to that would suggest otherwise. To each his own.
My bad. Their top 3 wide receivers are 6'4" or taller. L'Damian Washington at 6'4", Marcus Lucas at 6'5", and Green-Beckham at 6'6". Forgive me for that grave error of saying 4 instead of 3. How dare I.
"Somewhat of a disappointment" or not, he remains a very athletic threat that can score at any moment. Same with Washington.
Again, you can go by stats all you want, and then refer to passes as "lucky" when they don't back up the point you're trying to make, but I've watched Mauk play, and yes, he is very capable. He may not run a lot, but the threat is there and he has shown he can do it effectively with a 17 yard TD run against Florida, a 13 yard run against SC, and a key 6 yard 3rd down conversion against UGA on the first play he was in the game.
But that's all besides the point. I didn't say he was a Heisman contender. I said he was capable. He is.
As for your comment about Franklin...not sure what your point is there--I said nothing bad about him...at all.
Oh, and PARDON ME for suggesting that a true freshman quarterback, starting his first collegiate game ever, in the sec, on the road, in the middle of the season, when his only career experience is 2 quarters the prior week, might, just MIGHT make some rookie mistakes.
Dude I absolutely love Dobbs as a QB. I thought he looked great against Alabama, and I think he'll play great against Mizzou, but I also believe it's unreasonable to expect, based on 2 quarters of play, a freshman qb in his first ever start to not make some freshman mistakes. If you take issue with that...:no:
