Under cool blue skies, Tennessee continued its prep for Charlotte on Tuesday.

The big news of the day was Jeremy Banks’ whereabouts, as the freshman was back with the tailbacks after all the hullabaloo about his move to linebacker. Just hours earlier on Tuesday, Daniel Bituli, Alexis Johnson and Carlin Fils-Aime talked about Banks being an important new piece at linebacker.

We don’t know if that experiment was simply put on pause or what, but Banks was working alongside Ty Chandler, Tim Jordan and Madre London on Tuesday.

At linebacker, Darrin Kirkland Jr. was practicing Tuesday. Micah Abernathy was still on the bike.

Elsewhere, Tracy Rocker was in a mood today, just berating both his unit and the scout team OL. Nothing anyone did satisfied him.

On the offensive line, Tennessee worked a bunch on different run plays, with the same group that went wire-to-wire (Tatum, Johnson, Johnson, Niehaus and Richmond). Interestingly, the 2s consisted of K’Rojhn Calbert at LT, Jerome Carvin at LG, Riley Locklear at center, Kingston Harris at RG and Nieahus at RT. Chance Hall took a couple reps but mostly observed the period.

With Jeremy Pruitt working with the group, the wideouts and quarterbacks went through multiple drills focusing on screens and quick passes. That’s no surprise after the South Carolina game. Jauan Jennings was dressed but had on tennis shoes and just watched from the sideline. I don’t expect Jennings to play Saturday, as he nurses a sore ankle. It’s a good week to rest him up and get him ready for the final three SEC games.

Kenneth George was back at practice working at cornerback.

JJ Peterson was on the scout team DL, with Will Friend giving him some compliments for his pass rush. Conversely, Greg Emerson was forced to run laps after loafing on a few scout team reps.

I thought Kenneth George was out for the year with an injury. Was that Brandon Davis I'm thinking about?

Harris still at OL apparently. DT depth gonna be scary next year.

Returning DTs:

Gooden, who has played rotationally this year
Emerson, who is currently a scout team player



We've gotta hope the DTs we bring this class can really play.

Honestly going to be very surprised if this team makes a bowl game. Winning 3 of 4 down the stretch is going to be a tough row to hoe. There's a small chance we make it to 6-6, but there's also a chance we go 4-8 again. Right now I just want to see the culture continue to be put in place, improve as a team, and land a solid top 10-12 recruiting class.

I see this week being like another Bye week with a Scrimmage in the middle. Get some guys some rest, go over fundamentals again, install new components, and game plan to make a run at winning out the season.

KC should play the entire game, at least until garbage time. Good news, hopefully KY is beaten up from GA. All 4 of our games "home" games.

Chryst is and has been one play away from starting all year, with this OL, he is absolutely a great pick up. It is absolutely amazing that JG has taken the beating he has and is still functioning. The dude is made out of rubber...it really is almost miraculous how tough and physically resilient he is.
