Poster in VQ does a great job summarizing this.
"QB Race? right now the odds on favorite to start vs. APU will be Worley. Both FR have been impressive with their comand and play. played like FR at times but also like SO/JR. will play multiple QB's this season but if Worley is strong out of the gate that might change. Ferguson and Dobbs are pushing. Peterman has done some decent work during 11 on11's. challenge for Peterman is to get the ball out of his hands quicker, see the field quicker. all are taking pretty good care of the football and Worley is making the fewer mistakes. The biggest challenge is who will make a play on offense.
Secondary? more athletic. Coleman has confidence. Randolph gives every one confidence. with out him last yr the D gave up 7 plays over 70 yards. McNeil has had a good camp. gotten mentally in tune. plays more athletic than Moore and thats why he will start. Other side there are not many options. In a dream world you do not want to start a FR but they do not have an option. Thats is why they signed so many CBs. Jones will be out for a while. It is down to Sutton and Foreman with Sutton getting the nod. Sutton has been more consistant.
Peyton back in the day locked Brandon Stewart out of the film room. What has been the relationship level between the 4 QB's? very helpful to each other. teaching each other. veterans teaching the FR. they are friends outside of FB.
Worley is the only one with any experience in real games. the rest are unknowns. right now everyone feels they will get an opportunity to show what they can do. I dont care who is playing QB, if the receivers are not going to catch it consistant enough and make plays when plays present themselves the QB will have a hard time.
North? Are they gushing over North because he can be a difference maker or are they gushing because of what TN has with the other receivers not holding on to the ball? North has had is drops as well. North has all the tangibles. speed and strength. looks the part. asking him to do a whole lot really fast. not spoon feeding. learning all positions and probably will start. he can go make a play but the challenge is learning what to do to get the ball in his hands.
SEC Basketball schedule released? Tuff road games for TN? gaunlet for sure. playing at Bama has been horrific over the yrs. playing in Lexington with no return trip. twice a week venture. tuff non-conference as well. Virginia, Xavier, NC St, Wichita ST. Martin has made it clear its the responsibility of the conference to play a tuff schedule. help with RPI
couple of days off for the FB team? want to get their legs back. its been a grind. done some walk through stuff. cleaning up some schematics. game prep on Monday. getting legs and mind right now.
Brewer? good story. has won starting job with Maggitt not ready. Jancek admitted that when he left spring he did not know if Brewer could help. Brewer put the work in over the summer and now Jancek is convinced he can help
Recruiting rankings? Many of the players have gone up? Could be a negative with that because other big programs will go after these player? ( stupid question from Mark Howard..they are already big time schools after our studs). that intensity will be there any way. when a school gets a commitment the league takes notice. other schools will look to see if they missed anything concerning the player. says a lot about the staffs evaluation. look at Mouhon, his brother played for Butch and the relationship was there. his ranking went up. Helm's rankings have gone up. they will have to work hard to hold on to the class and they know that.
OL Coach Mahoney? smart on their part to keep things normal. not a complete overhaul. kept some stuff the same. Butch has challenged them publically. Mahoney challenges them to be more physical. they have gotten better and more physical
Recruiting? Hurd getting its 5th star? really good performance in Columbus. the only camp he was healthy to perform at. there has been some misconception about Hurd and the camps. Hurd wanted to camp quite a bit but was not healthy. his focus was getting healthy for his team and season. He knew where he is going to school. was not going to camps to earn scholarships. not going to jeopardize his season for ranking purposes. Hurd is playing both ways. he is just as fun to watch play Defense than offense. dont get me wrong he is a college running back all the way but he brings a load on defense. "
