Yeah I think you let Cooper heal up completely. He only needs one more week to be 100% we don’t need him to beat Pitt

Some WRs, too, who're nursing injuries. Trying to long game it for SEC play. We'll see if we can.

Agree. Someone posted yesterday basically saying Evans is way better than Small. It is ridiculous. Small is very good. Evans is very good. The gap is not much. The issue is more that Small needs someone to relieve him so that he can not carry the ball 30 times. The drop off is the guy who takes 30% of the carries if he ends up taking 70% of the carries. Will it be the walkon?

After they each had one series, Small looked much better than Evans. We need both, for sure. It might be good to see what Jaylen can do. (he is on my fantasy team, after all)

YO

Should I start Chase Claypool or Mike Davis

This time there is preparation because they know Cooper is unlikely to play. They will have a plan and the players will have repped the plan. It might just be getting Lane more comfortable. I don't think he is as bad as some think. He is very big, wide upper body and is strong. But it could be that with time to prep they move people around. It is much different to have a week of practice with say...Mays at G and someone else at RT as opposed to doing that in the middle of a game without preparation.

Ollie just doesn’t impress me but I have known to be wrong a lot.

Drawing with El Salvador is unacceptable and that was a weak-ass goal they gave up to Canada to allow them to tie it.

Imagine you're talking about Velus and Calloway here.

It's not the difference between Evans and Small. It's the difference between Evans and Wright/Pierce. Everything I have seen from Wright in limited reps is he tries to bounce everything outside regardless of down and distance.

It's great having Evans, because he and Small seem to be capable of running the same plays successfully. I bet that makes gameplanning a bit easier. It definitely hurts the opponent, defending a couple guys who are pretty much always fresh.

Hopefully they use him (Wright) in designed edge calls. Seems like he's more comfortable on the edge and definitely has speed to hurt Pitt.

I love Wrights potential, but he still has some things to learn. I think his HS didn't play his senior season, so BGSU were his first real carries in 2 years.

Because no one cares about this...

Erik Ainge Show just mentioned "some news coming out here in a few minutes" before going to break.

Edit: Apparently much ado about nothing.

UT hasn't reached its vax rate target.

Vaccinated players can test in before the game. Contact tracing for unvaccinated players could be costly... and the players are fully aware of it.

Now that is concerning!

They're doing the Florida, Alabama or Georgia bit so doesn't seem too important

it will be Jaylen Wright

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Really no reason for UT to announce player availability for Pitt. They're waiting for clearance on some and undecided on others who could play but could use more healing time before returning.

The depth on the OL has always been an issue, and it was tested early with Calbert and again with Cooper. The best case scenario would have a few guys stepping up to provide more quality depth and so far, that hasn't gone as hoped.

lets be honest it never does

What was the news?

 

[jave36]

What do we think about this roster, boys?

Very solid, how did you get Cook and Henry? Small league?

 

[Adam2014]

Now, this is interesting.
