Let’s game this out. Who ya got at each position group?

Dobbs vs Hooker?

Kamara, Hurd, Kelly vs Small, Wright, Sampson?

Malone, JJ, Josh Smith, Marquez Callaway vs Hyatt, Bru, Tillman, Keyton

Wolf, Croom, Jakob Johnson vs Warren, Fant

2016 OL vs 2022 OL?

Dobbs < Hooker

2016 RBs > 2022 RBs

2016 WRs and <2022 WRs (slight lean)

2016 TEs > 2022 TEs

2016 OL < 2022 OL

I’d take a little bit from 16 and apply to 22. Butch had talent. He just did an absolutely piss poor job scheming and developing his teams. He had no control either.

 

[johnfnkelly]

I’d swap the entire RB room in an instant. Maybe not entire actually.. leave Hurd and keep Sampson.. but give me AK and Kelly over Small and Wright.

A RB room of AK, Kelly and Sampson

Jalen Hurd is 10x the RB anybody in this RB room is

It’s possible. Wife won’t like it because she won’t get her nice and fluffy scrambled eggs and cheese as a topping. On the other hand it’s quite funny (baby farts).

Goat cheeses or a Manchego should be fine. They aren’t cow-milk-based. And there are spreadable goat cheeses that are excellent - almost like a cream cheese.

Cooper Mays earned his first-career SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week distinction in the win over Mizzou. Making his 20th career start, Mays logged 75 snaps at center and did not allow a sack, a pressure or a quarterback hit against the No. 13 defense in the country, helping the Vols bulldoze their way for a season-high 264 rushing yards and 460 passing yards.

Mays is the fourth Vol to earn SEC OL of the Week this season, joining Spraggins, Carvin, and Wright.

Hooker, Mays Grace SEC Player of the Week Charts for Excellence vs. Missouri - University of Tennessee Athletics

Wonder if it was the Vulcan Mind Meld he had going

Might be worth having her cut out dairy for a few days and see if that improves things.

I can hear the protesting already lol. She will know it’s worth it in the end, though.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

For whatever reason .........one guy quit. Don't want that in the locker room

That’s why I left that one guy out if we had the 2015 version of Hurd I’d take him in a second.

 

[BigSteve09]

That score is waaaaay too low. 38-26 as a score is weak sauce. Give me a 60-cheeseburger to 17.

Predicted Score vs Actual

Ball St: 36 / 59
Pitt: 44 / 34
Akron: 53 / 63
Florida: 37 / 38
LSU: 28 / 40
Bama: 23 / 52
UT Martin: ? / 65
Kentucky: 30 / 44
UGA: 29 / 13
Mizzou: 34 / 66

Another game of note for this weekend (He doesn’t have one for TCU vs Baylor yet):

View attachment 514597

I'm hoping that since this essentially is for a shot at the Pac-12 title that UCLA (having just lost to 3-6 Arizona) will come out prepared and looking to make a statement. They are a bit more battle tested than USC so I'm pulling for Chip and the Bruins to shutdown USC and kill the Pac-12 CFP hype.

UCLA has faced 3 top 15 teams already in (15) Washington, (11) Utah and at (10) Oregon. They are 2-1.
USC has faced 1 top 25 team already at (25) Utah. They are 0-1.

UCLA may have been caught in a trap with Arizona. They’re still a decent team and I like Dorian Thompson-Robinson and the offense. It’ll be one of the most entertaining games this weekend. A win for UCLA keeps them squarely in the PAC 12 championship game convo.

 

[zhangliao04]

the models are still having a hard time predicting our score

I’d like to see UM and OSU play more than 1 quality game besides their annual game every season. It’s sad that conference is just those two and nobody else. PSU has a shot, but even they are struggling right now.

That system he is using always has our score much lower than it will be.

 

[KptVFL]

Ok... @SoilVol ..I have watched this through several times now, and that hard jerk down right there at the end is inexcusable, it looks intentional at that moment to me, and to me it looks like he realized what he had just done and immediately felt remorse for being so stupid.


IMO..Ole Miss coaches and players should be just as mad at the OL player that Turner ran straight by, that dude just totally whiffed...that was just an awful awful play.

IIRC #15 is the same guy that, later in the game, shoved a player's(can't remember if was Dart) head into the ground when getting up off of him after a tackle. When I saw that the benefit of doubt went out the window for the facemask.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I would like to recant my emotional statement towards Banks during the game on Saturday. I do not want to fire him.

Exhibit A:



Reminder: we have very little talent on defense. We have two elite freshman edge rushers, and we have an elite defensive class coming in next year after we land Hobbs.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Jalen Hurd is 10x the RB anybody in this RB room is

He’s also 10x the quitter as anybody in this RB room is. My choice wasn’t based on talent alone.

 

[MarcoVol]

Let’s game this out. Who ya got at each position group?

Dobbs vs Hooker?

Kamara, Hurd, Kelly vs Small, Wright, Sampson?

Malone, JJ, Josh Smith, Marquez Callaway vs Hyatt, Bru, Tillman, Keyton

Wolf, Croom, Jakob Johnson vs Warren, Fant

2016 OL vs 2022 OL?

The soon to be 11-1 team > the 8-4 team.

Every position group. Every player.

 

[butchna]

Weve been very blessed with health at the position as well. One injury and we would have been in trouble

Small had injuries. Wright got some dings.

 

[Volator]

In a much less contentious manner, I think Walker Merrill will explore options also.

barbershop gossip since Merrill is a npa product?

When I watched highlights of Heup’s UCF team before he came here…. I thought we might look like the 2012 Tennessee team…. Tons of offense but little to no defense…. 21.9 ppg is an absolutely amazing job done by Banks especially when considering how many plays/possessions that the other team gets per game.

UCLAs defense will need to step up. The offense looked fairly good against Arizona. It needed to be a little bit better for sure but they couldn’t stop Arizona. That’s where they lost. Idk if they can fully stop the USC offense so they just need the offense to keep up and keep it close IMO. They definitely can win so fingers crossed.

He’s also 10x the quitter as anybody in this RB room is. My choice wasn’t based on talent alone.

If my boss was a fraud and a liar I'd probably quit too.

 

[swampfoxfan]

I don’t see that happening at all.

I cant believe lsu could beat GA. But if they do,

 

[volinbama256]

Remember when the season hinged on whether Lynn J Dixon could give us depth at the “dangerously thin” tailback position?

Yeah, neither do I.

Go Vols!!

Wonder where he is now?

I can't believe I'm defending anyone in the Big10.....but they do play one quality OC game a year, and they can only play who is in their crappy conference. Not everyone can be in the SEC. Well..not yet anyway

 

[Cactus Jack]

Jalen Hurd in the Princeton Fant role would be the most incredible thing we've ever seen here on offense. Heupel would have that dude scoring non stop if he had him in this offense.
