This is going to be a very difficult test for our offensive line. I’m nervous because their DL is probably best in the SEC.

I think our defense will eat up their O-line a lot like USC and get to Johnson a ton. I worry that our offense will sputter a lot due to the lack of running game and that Milton will feel pressure a lot on drop backs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if neither team hits 30 points.

Option and a lot of off tackle runs to loosen up their secondary and then hit a couple long shots to drive the nail into their coffin.

Agree we need to focus on their CBs and LBs. We have to take deep shots to keep them honest.

I know we love running up the gut but I think their tackles are going to eat our interior line
 
waiting for Josh Pate's take here

anyone?
Pate:

A&M played a war with Bama, down to the wire. Tennessee propped their feet up and watched the game. External dynamics play in here. A&M 0-7 on the road. Vols 12-straight at home.
Tennessee 2nd in America in rush yards per game.
A&M 6th defensively against run.

A&M could win off of Milton Turnovers.
A&M could win if they stop us rushing the ball, force short possessions, and rattle off long drives against our D.

Both teams top 3 in sacks defensively.

The recipe is for a low-scoring game

Vegas says Tennessee -3.5

Pate and his Model say we cover, but not confident about it.

He is confident in the under.
 
If it hurts then it’s 2nd degree.
If there’s no pain then it’s 3rd degree. (Destroyed the skin nerves)

Gently wash it using Dove soap and a clean washcloth. Need to get the dead blistered skin off so that it doesn’t get infected. Don’t have to get all the dead skin off the first time. Don’t let the burn base dry out, causes more scarring. Keep an antibiotic ointment on it. If you can get a prescription for Silvadene, that’s the best way to protect it until it is fully healed.

Take a marker and outline the red area(just outside it on the normal skin) if it is infected, the redness will increase and cross the line.
Burns turn red as they heal typically.

How big is the burn area?
😘

Lol, I wish. Unfortunately, I have to work. I am trying to work less though.

If I had a presentation to give on working harder, in hopes to makes more money, to cause more vacations to occur. It would actually look like this. Work harder -> less time off -> more ****ing work -> less time off-> suck
 
Once again, this game is simply going to be decided in the trenches. Period. Can we hold off their elite Dline enough to give Milton time, or are they going to run us over and forced to quick throw for short gains and stifle the run? Milton MUST use his feet in the game or he is toast and we are going to see tons of 3rd and 17's... Is our Dline/Edge/LB's going to be able to get pressure and push and have their QB uncomfortable and running/making bad decisions? Will WE be able to stop the run?

That's the beginning and end of it.

Sidenote---- seeing how important the Oline/Dline has become in SEC play, we are truly only an elite Oline away from Kicking everyone's arse. We are improving and getting the talent all over the defensive side of the ball, we have the offensive weapons both young and old, but the only position group left that is MEH, is our Oline. We better be paying big money in the transfer portal at the end of this season.
It will be decided at the line of scrimmage and by how much our crowd bothers their offense.

If Milton's knee is okay I do have some hope he will start using his legs more.

I believe we saw an emphasis on that in the UTSA game before he got hurt. The 81 yard run. He took off and got 7 later on in the game for a nice scramble that gave us a 2nd and 7. They had rolled out that Cam Newton tape for Joe and that really seemed to them legs goin.

Eeh..Cubs signed Andre Dawson to a 3 year over 6 million dollar contract in 1988...they could have paid Maddux 2 million a year..but chose to save it for Ryan Sandberg big contract a couple of years later...
Gotta look at the dates…1988? It wasn’t an either/or for Maddux. He chose the Braves offer over the Cubs. Braves had also pursued Bonds and were prepared to sign both…in 1992.

Braves were Maddux second choice...was wanting to sign with Yankees...and they never offered him a contract...🤨
 
On Eric Berry-

I have always been drawn to rangy safeties. Not sure why, it’s just always been my favorite position to watch. Growing up, my favorite Vol was Deon Grant. His interception agains Florida remains my favorite Vol play of all time. When he went pro, I figured i’d never see a safety that I liked as much as him play for UT again, because he seemed like a once in a lifetime player.

Well, enter Eric Berry. It would take an incredible player to supplant Deon as my favorite player, but Berry did it. What a legend. So glad we are honoring him.
 
Yesterday I watched the highlights from the USCjr game, and while it was the best and most consistent performance by Milton this year, those 2 INT’s were really bad and throws he should not have made, especially the first one. The first INT he didn’t even read the safety in the middle of the field, just the boundary safety. Even if the middle safety didn’t jump the pass, he was still throwing it into double coverage and was a poor decision, especially considering to his right White was wide open. The 2nd INT was a poorly placed ball, it looked like he anticipated Warren doing a comeback route or something, but if he threw it back shoulder instead of underthrow then it probably would have been 6, or at least not an int.
Milton is who he is at this point and the first INT was bad. But, the second was not a bad INT. He had perfect touch on the pass and threw it a foot short. If it’s a foot higher, it’s a perfect pass for Warren. Defender made a good play. No QB is ever perfect on passes.

I think everyone is giving the Bama game way too much weight. Bamas offense has been trash this year and A&M let Milroe throw for over 300 against them. That’s awful.
