Guess I'm alone in thinking it looks stupid. Oh well not the first time.

Doesnt make sense to have a basketball logo on a football uniform, but Jordan is a transcendant brand and the kids like it

The kids are too young to have even seen him play. Its just dumb to mix sports imagery.

They aren't too young to see his brand. People still kill each other over Jordan's. No athlete has ever created a more iconic brand.

The bottom row has the expected starters for WVU's offensive line. I think its widely accepted that unless a guy is an exceptional talent like Trey Smith offensive linemen don't need to see the field until their 3rd year at the earliest. WVU is okay there but compare the talent of our 15 guys to their starters.

You’ve stated that he’s long and athletic...like you like em.

 

[ChattaTNVol]

I suspect they won't be athletic enough to slow down our edge rushers. Here's an article on their philosophy.

Yeah, that was my follow up thought

 

[Nashvegas31]

Martinez arrived at 200lbs at Nebraska and already at 218. Kids going to be a stud. He looked great in their spring game. Hate we couldn't hold on

Are you thinking Crosby and Niehaus make the two deep over guys like Calbert and J. Johnson?

No. I really have no idea until Fingers brings the practice reports from fall camp. I was just trying to show that WVU's guys from an on paper talent perspective would likely be our 4th string - if they could beat out our walkons.

 

[ChattaTNVol]

Again - I think we are being heavily discounted because no one thinks we can score points, not even against air.

Looks about right at this point

 

[ChattaTNVol]

A followup - I think maybe based on the spring, if Kennedy had to come off the field (assuming he starts), Ryan Johnson would slide over to center and someone else would hve to take his spot at guard - if Ryan ends up starting there.

Well, we were dead last in the SEC in ypg and ppg. We were last in ypg by a very large margin.

It’s not unreasonable to think that.

True, but we did score 26 in that awful offensive system against KY. That’s about the caliber of defense we’ll face imo.

 

[GoVolsDR]

Better games to go full tilt on opening weekend, but I'd definitely put at least 5 units on the Vols to cover double digits.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Someone that knows
Where to look needs to look at their run D. From games I've watched, most of them with friends, WVU is really weak against a good rb with the 3-3-5 D they run. They normally do not tackle well either...which nor did we under Butch.

 

[Adam2014]

You all should watch WVU's bowl game from this past year. They were destroyed by a 6-6 Utah team. There is a point in the video where WVU drops 9 and 3rd and 8 and a receiver is still wide open somehow. Unless the offensive staff is completely incompetent, we should be able to score some points.
