If it has already been posted I apologize in advance.

Quote: "As the Volunteers rebuild the program back to respectability, Hurd will be Butch Jones' centerpiece, becoming the first star back in Knoxville since Arian Foster."

Don't they mean the first five star runningback since Bryce Brown?

We've all tried to move on from that conundrum

Won't lie, I had to google that. :blink:

I think our run game is going to be nasty. We will be unstoppable this year. The way our guys are working this year. This could be the year.

Not really sure I considered Arian Foster a "star RB" while he was here. He had flashes of greatness but he was no Travis Stephens.

We're the only team in the country who are replacing their entire starting offensive and defensive lines. Uh, no!

Running behind a completely rebuilt OL.

You're expectations may be a tad high.

Arian Foster was not a star back at Tennessee he was a pterodactyl, taco eatin', football fumblin' machine. Him being related to Tennessee Football is an embrassment to the university.

I think Montario Hardesty played after Foster. Arian was never close to that guys ability in his senior campaign. Hardesty was an absolute beast running behind an O line with multiple walk ons and the Crompton air assault.

Had AF not had a ProBowl career in the league, he would hardly be remembered around here. Often people confuse collegiate greatness with NFL greatness (or failure). They are not the same. Look at Tebow.

Then I looked at the source and thought "why do people ever quote BR"? It's a worse joke than mainline media ... and that's saying something.

At least he finally got his act together in the NFL. ... Oh wait.

There are still a few question marks on Offense that we need to address before I would agree with that statement.

In may opinion we haven't had a take to the house back since Travis Henry.

I agree. :good!:

All this hate for a guy whose actual fumbles can be counted on one hand. I'd hate the university too if fans remembered me like that after being statistically one of the best players to ever play for them.

The Foster hate is overdone for sure….but so his this statement above. Statistics do not always tell the whole story. I don't think Foster cracks the Top 5 in All Time Great TN RBs in most people's opinion.
