Alright covid talk is killing me... my best attempt at optimistic stats for the season. this is IMO, basically best case scenario.


Joe Milton
3338 Yards
61% completion
32 TDs
8 INTs
5 Rushing TDs

Tiyon Evans
1089 Yards
8 Tds

Jabari Small
734 Yards
5 TDs

Velus Jones
55 Catches
955 YDs
7 Tds

Jalin Hyatt
42 Catches
822 Yards
5 TDs

Javonta Payton
33 Catches
655 Yards
5 TDs

Cedric Tillman
28 Catches
415 Yards
11 TDs

We go 8-4 in this scenario in my head.

 

[Orange Studs]

good some common sense for a change.

Very rare these days.

I have a very special, intense hate for keeper leagues. Destroys what is the funnest part of fantasy football, the draft. 12 team redraft league or GTFO.

I’ve been in a dynasty league for years. 3 player draft for rookies, free agents, and the 3 guys at the end of the bench every year. I love because it raises the stakes for every single pick, especially in the very first draft. Separates the men from the boys.

Haven't been around since May but just wanted to say Go Vols. Recently moved from TN to CO but I'm hyped for this season. Rather lose to Bama 66-60 than 66-3 like with Pruitt.

We go 8-4 in this scenario in my head.

If we only see 8 INTs from our starting QB there's no way we're just 8-4.

I expect to see the number of total INTs closer to 20. New system with 3 potential starters with zero experience running it, OL that's solid but could also be extremely thin fast. WRs that look the part and have talent/speed but aren't proven (yet).

I like your projections though...I'm not sure if Evans out performs Small but if both combine for 1800+ who cares.

 

[thistime]

The defense is the unknown. I think we really will score a lot of points but the defense has got to get off the field.

Bold Prediction: Cedric Tillman leads the team in receptions and the TE's have combined 600+ receiving yards

I just like Evans a little more, but I could see that split being closer. I do fully expect 1800+ rushing yards though.

I expect the INT number will be lower than that. Heupel hasn't had a QB throw more than 13 in a season since taking over as OC at Missouri in 2016.

I see a scenario where Milton throws 8-ish INTs but maybe 2 are against Bama, 1 against Florida, 1 against UGA, 2 against Ole Miss and then boom we're 8-4.

Plus he plays both ways. And the kid that's close to him only had a pick 6!

Thanks for the votes though everyone!

How's the team looking this year?

My favorite league I ever played in was a 6 person league…..I didn’t realize it until I played in that league….. most leagues pretty much end at the draft with slight movement throughout….In a six player league….. every team had good players and plenty of depth….. there was so much strategy involved that it was by far my funnest year…… I also made a ballsy trade that year they paid off for me…..I traded the highest scoring RB, QB, and WR to one team…. We met in the Super Bowl and I won by 2 points…. My trade was what put me over the top.

I like that. Missouri's TE in 2017 had 415 yards and led the team with 11 TDs, so Heupel has a history of utilizing TEs.

20 interceptions…. Wth that’d be awful whoever that QB is would never need to play football ever again.

Oh yeah! I for sure think this offense and staff will utilize our TEs far better than anyone in the last decade has.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

To add to this, nobody's thrown 20 INTs in a season since 2016. It's also only happened 3 times since 2009.

9.5 days until UT Football is played against a live opponent.

Where in CO - I am in Castle Rock, south of Denver.

True and I hope that's the case Lock had 10 & 13 INTs under Heupel...and I think Milton isn't as good as Lock though. Maybe I'm wrong, I like our chances though to win 8 if the INTs are held in check that well.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

How's the team looking this year?

1-0, didn't watch the first game but they beat down Cosby 53-24. Off this week, but next week they host Greenback so that'll be a big game to see how good they actually are.

 

[thistime]

I was watching the Hummingbirds around the feeders and have come to the conclusion that if Hummingbirds were the size of crows they would rule the world.

I mean Milton only threw 4 INTs on 141 attempts last year so double those attempts and add 4 more and that’s only 8 and I don’t think we will see 8 INTs from Milton.

I put my money on the under at closer to 5.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I think there's a 100% chance that we throw for more TDs by the Florida game this year than we did the entire 2017 season (11).

That would be a good prop bet

Where at in CO? If you're near Denver, I know they have an alumni group who hosts watch parties.
