The similarities between this game and our game are interesting to me, weak FCS opponents. Their offense is similar, though we obviously do not have the speed of Mariota/Thomas. On the other hand, our OL has a potential advantage.

3rd quarter scores: Vols 45 - AP 0; Ore 45 - Nich 3. Difference: Oregon kept it's first string in for 3 quarters, we kept ours in on offense for 2 (and less on defense). They do not look invincible on offense like previous season openers (jmo).

LB's are a TBD for the Ducks this year. Big shoes to fill there.

I personally was not so impressed with Oregon's win. They looked rather lethargic. Could be the competition or first game jitters.

With our much heralded frosh RB Tyner coming in the mix I do believe our run game can continue with 3 or more 100 yard rushers.

The hope is Mariotta continues his accuracy which was quite good last year.

One of Kelly's great traits was adjusting during game time. It will be interesting to see how Helfrich does in that department. How many attempts on 4th down and/or 2pt conversions.

Our competitiveness against Oregon will depend heavily on our two new starters at LB (Brewer and Sapp).

I agree your game against Nicholls was not as great as the stats show - ran it up a bit in the 4th. Peay and Nicholls are both extremely weak teams. That being said, your depth is clearly much better than ours. For example, if we lose anyone in our back 7 on defense, we have serious issues.

I think our 1's will hang with you much better than expected. We will do everything we can to force Mariota to beat us with his arm.

Kelly's second half adjustments in 2010 against us were clearly effective.

Our guys looked a little rusty for sure and the intensity dropped a notch after the Hebert kid got hurt.

Our LB's were caught out of position quite a few times and MM struggled with throws across his body. All in all, it was just about what most people expected, a glorified scrimmage against an outmatched opponent. We'll have a clearer idea of what we have after the trip to UVA.

Maggitt should be back starting for Oregon.

What is up with the OR kid laughing it up while the QB is on the ground knocked out cold? Thought that was pretty classless. Seeing that pretty much made me hope he blows both knees out.
