Yeah, would love to know what’s up with that. Heup’s RBs at UCF never had a lot of receiving yards either.

Not-so-Fun fact I heard before the TAMU game (no reason to think it’s changed), Tennessee only has 3 WR playing above replacement level on the season. In no order they are… Squirrel, Sampson, and Wright. So we should be thankful that we have actually used the RBs in the passing game this year, they’ve been our best receivers too.

I would bench keyton to give him a wake up call. He has got to be better. Or move him to the other side.

Only thing I can't grasp..is why no rotation of WR's..I know during a drive it's hard to do going fast..but starting a new series let Thorton set out and give Nimrod or Webb the series...

Wat he’s the highlights from last years game again. Bryce young and Gibbs were really good and really made plays out of nothing for them all game. Glad they don’t have anybody like that this year

Another thing that stood out, Keyton was really good and our 2nd best receiver in this game last year. Need that type of performance out of him today.

The thing is we really don’t go that fast. There are plenty of times we struggle to get the snap off before the play clock expires. We certainly don’t go as fast as last couple years. At least it doesn’t seem like we do.

Crazy to me that they’re all under 100 yards and <= catches each at the halfway mark though. I’d love to see more 2-back sets or put Sampson in the slot or something.

Freak has posted a bit on that front in the FF. We’re still #1 in the country.

I honestly don’t see how. I guess we go lightning fast enough after a first down to make the average what it is, because it seems at least 50% or more of the snaps we are going super slow. I wonder if that’s why we have so many pre-snap penalties. The OL can’t get into a flow of either going fast or slow.

I think we’re still under 4 seconds actually. The slow ones are just easier to notice.

I still can't believe that Bama is crying and blaming Fulmer for the Albert Means debacle. Jackie Sherrill (Mississippi State), Houston Nutt (Arkansas) , RIp Scherer (Memphis), Jim Donnan (Georgia) and Phil Fulmer (Tennessee) all reported wrong doings to the NCAA. Stating Lynn Lang (Means' H.S. Coach) want $200K for Albert Means to play for a school.

But to this date there is zero accountability for wrongdoing by Bama in the eyes of their fans. It was all Phillip Fulmer's fault.
Lang brokered a deal with several Alabama boosters in the Memphis area where he received $30,000 from the boosters. The remaining $170K was paid after Means officially signed with Bama.
Lang demanded $6,000 in cash from a Kentucky booster in the presence of a Kentucky assistant coach Claude Bassett for Means to visit Kentucky.
In similar fashion Lang received $4,000 for each visit he arranged to Georgia and Alabama.
Jim Donnan gave Lang $700 out of pocket.
Rip Sherer promised free law school tuition.
Brad Lawing (Michigan State) said Lang demanded $200K to play at MSU, and that Lang would repay $50K that had already paid for Means.
Houston Nutt stated that Lang told his assistant coach that $200K was required to secure Means' enrollment.
Albert Means testified in Lang's trial that he never took the required standardized test for college admission. Means went on testify that Lang had another student take the test for him.
Federal Prosecutors provided evidence that Lang tried to sell Means to eight schools:
Alabama
Arkansas
Georgia
Kentucky
Memphis
Michigan State
Mississippi State
Tennessee
But because Fulmer testified, it's al his fault. Zero accountability for the Crimson Tide.

AI isn't (or shouldn't be) the fear, but what it can empower should be. Skynet scenarios don't scare me, but when AI becomes powerful enough to assist bad actors in doing bad things on a global scale, you have big problems. Today ChatGPT easily writes a Python script to scrape info from a web page, but in 10 years it may be capable of writing a computer virus that shuts down the financial system, and in 20 years it might be capable of engineering the genetic code of a biological virus that could selectively kill a people group.

The genie isn't going back in the bottle and bad people aren't going to suddenly become enlightened and ethical. It's a formula for trouble. And while you may be able to regulate corporate AI providers, you aren't going to regulate people who operate outside the law.
