How freshman RB Dylan Sampson can add a new dynamic to Tennessee’s offense

This kid could be special. He's already shown some flashes.

I would love to talk to Sampson and see him get lifted in the endzone by a lineman .

We can start with knowing his responsibilities and not fumbling the ball.

Well there we have it. I trust Swain's talent evaluation considering all the great players he has seen and been around.

Sampson will be a big star soon imo.

He needs at least 15 touches a game!!!

Agree. As I said in another thread, I get the “less dynamic” RB starting over the more dynamic freshman when it’s about the older RB knowing blocking assignments. But Small still looks lost as a pass blocker. So why no play the kid who brings more play making ability and let him figure it out? Worst case, he misses 4 pass pro pickups like Small did against Florida.

Heupel is gonna play the guys he trust, evident by the extremely small WR rotation. Give Sampson some time he’ll build that trust and be a big factor for us in the future.

So he trusts the guy who keeps whiffing on pass pro to protect his Heisman candidate QB? What is it about Small that he trusts?

This makes sense but it simply isn't true.
As in that logic makes sense, but Heupel himself doesn't really follow that.

He just doesn't like to substitute if he doesn't have too.

Idk boss you gotta ask Heupel that. There is a reason he’s not getting more play and none of us know why cause I agree with you that small has been terrible at pass pro.

Last week, the reason was injury. Hopefully, we won’t be wondering after Saturday because Sampson goes off.

Dylan Sampson will feel right at home on Saturday, he's from Baton Rouge!
I hope Dylan puts up big numbers Saturday and gives LSU the middle finger!

I’m a big “trust the coach” guy but there’s a TRUST in playing talent element I believe in more. Pruitt trusted JG, Butch trusted Worley…Cut trusted Mark Levine.

Sampson and White could be the fastest players on the squad.

Hey hope you guys are doing well, just wanted to see if you all were making the trip to BR? We are going to have a makeshift tailgate in the baseball stadiums parking lot.

Wish I could be there. Prolly best I can’t with my attendance record.

Saturday would be a great time for Baton Rouge native Dylan Sampson to make a statement & run WILD.
