On paper, Gurley much better than Marshall

[orangepeel]

Their O is stocked with playmakers that can beat us badly if we don't bring our A game.

Honestly,we don't have an A game. This is the worst,most untalented football team Tennessee has fielded since I can remember. I'm sure someone older than me can finger another team being worse,but since the 80's forward,this team is the suck.

We're in the very early stages of a complete overhaul,this incoming class is going to be very important class.I hope we can hold onto it,because I think we can get some footing and get off this slippery slope we've been living on.

Easily the most gut-wrenching episode in Vol history.... for me at least.

So true

 

[BanditVol]

Marshall ran for how many yards last year against us and how many touchdowns?

Yeah, that was LAST YEAR, with Sunseri as the worst DC in the history of the Vols. Different this year. How different, we will see in about 14 hours.

 

[BanditVol]

Gurley: 71 carries, 450yds, 6.3ypc, 4TD
Neal: 80 carries, 468yds, 5.9 ypc, 5TD



Marshall: 51 carries, 213yds, 4.2ypc, 1TD
Lane: 45 carries, 280yds, 6.2ypc, 4TD




Had a nice discussion about this earlier today in the recruiting forum.

I was shocked when I saw it

Yes I have a post elsewhere in which I point out our two RBs have actually outperformed theirs. It's a pleasant surprise.

 

[BanditVol]

Both will play on Sundays but Gurley is the first rounder and Marshall is a second rounder, I HERD we got one on the way.

Or HURD, maybe..?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Lane and maybe even Neal play on Sunday also.

Too bad they don't play the game on paper. Marshall, like he did last year, will more than likely give us fits tomorrow

Again, all you guys saying this...it isn't last year! Instead of being almost dead last in the NCAA, our D is only below average. LOL, not where we want to be either, but MUCH MUCH BETTER. It will show tomorrow....I expect uga to still put up a huge amount of points, say 38, but we will slow them down better than last year, IMO.

Marshall is a between the tackles bruising RB, which is exactly what we want. Our LB's are big mean guys who can handle a guy who runs at them. Its the ones that are lightning quick like the kid from Oregon that give them fits.

If our D-Line can pressure Murray early while the front 7 slows down Marshall, Georgia could be in for one hell of a game tomorrow.

Not.

Want to place a wager on who goes higher in the draft?

 

[TrueOrange]

On paper, neither is playing




Sorry, couldn't resist.

And on only 10 carries. That's 16.4 YPC in case you were wondering

Is that what math does?
