If we get this kid, our line would be set except for knowing who our right tackle will be.

Perry, Umarov, Warren, or Davis Anders.

Or Mr Larry johnson

People keep forgetting about Johnson. If he improves between this year and next as much as he improved between last year and this, he will be a force.

Thompson could be the RT. Moe at RG and Karic (if he wins his appeal) or Sham at LG (if Karic doesn’t win his appeal).

Just an option. The good thing is, there will be plenty of competition and more SEC-level talents on the OLine next year. They should result in a better OLine than we saw in 2024.

Laughing at anyone thinking Sanders isn’t going to be the starting RT immediately.

Seems like Northwestern has a history of turning out some good linemen. Maybe we should get anyone else’s line coach but the one we have.

FIFY.

He very well could be. The need to speak in absolutes about what is going to happen with 18-22 year old kids in the next 9 months is odd, however.

Some might call it laughable…which in this case would be ironic

Only the sith deal in absolutes… lol

Either we get serious with the NIL
or we become Mississippi State.

The Ohio State loss has broken this fanbase. There is not a more unhappy fanbase in the SEC than ours.

Rightfully so. It exposed what we really are. We're not as close to being elite as we thought before that game.

lol, considering what we have been through the past 15 years before Heupel got here our program is in really good shape. Some of you need some perspective. You guys act like we are Kentucky or something.

Broken? Really?
A broken fanbase allows 30k opponent fans to come in to your house buy your seats. (Cough: Buckeyes). That used to happen in Neyland (Bama game 8-10 yrs ago) and we were broken then for sure. I feel confident that’s not happening anytime soon in Knoxville. The fanbase is one of the best things about UT football right now. Is there some hand-wringing about our boys getting their teeth kicked in? Absolutely…most people care. Broken? No.

We’re paying him over $1M and he’s the #1 OL in the country. Alternatives nowhere near as talented. Doesn’t take a Dobbs to figure it out.

Sanders will be starting at RT.

 

[IUGradVol]

Sanders will be starting at RT.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Sanders will be starting at RT.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Sanders will be starting at RT.

I expect that he would be but I think it’s pretty bad to not allow a competition. What if another tackle outperforms him?

 

[knoxvol52]

Sanders will be starting at RT.

@BigOrangeTrain moves to edge of his seat.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Sanders will be starting at RT.

And Warren?

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Sanders will be starting at RT.

Says a lot about how poorly we’ve recruited the position
