Agree with this except I do think we have to see one of TCU or USC lose

@engineerVOL , Tony, working his magic there.

I thought about tagging @engineerVOL , but figured he wrote the script for these,

Marvin Harrison Jr has had a strong year but his numbers don’t match Hyatt. If Hyatt keeps producing like he should then I don’t see him catching Hyatt.

He’s ~200 yards less than Hyatt.
He has 4 less TDs.
His yards per reception is a full 3 yards less.
He averaging 15 yards less per game.
He has about the same amount of catches.. 2 more than Hyatt.

If these gaps in stats stay about the same and Marvin Harrison Jr wins, then he would be winning on last name alone.

He plays for OSU. His name is Marvin Harrison. That’s all the need

 

[Revived2002]

We can talk about a number of Tennessee’s accomplishments but the greatest is still that we beat Will Levis in his prime. While he was torching our secondary for 98 yards and sprinkling in 3 smartly timed interceptions, we somehow withstood the onslaught and squeaked out a 44-6 victory.

That has to count for something in the eyes of the committee.

I hold out hope that will be the differentiator when comparing resumes.

Smokey and Beamer.

 

[butchna]

I hope not. Still think he can be good. He runs good routes, is able to get open, and has good hands.

I agree he’s very good…just too far down in the pecking order. It has to be noticeable that Ladd McConkey has a similar skillset and is the top WR option at UGA.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

No but he’s not leaving for anything other than a HC position IMO

Exactly. Had a chance to go to Ole Miss as OC as well. Turned it down.

 

[Chuckie]

Uno, dos tres, quatro, cinco, cinco, seis.

Perfect characterization of that dumba$$

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Put yourself in that position. Would you make a lateral move to aTm to work with Jimbo who may not last more than one more year or keep the same role at a red hot UT program where this staff and head coach can do no wrong? They'll all get paid, but consider the difference in perception and work environment. Nah. Ain't happening.

Seems like money talks louder than everything else in this world.

 

[butchna]

I’d like to ask everyone that would to pray for my stepdad, my dad passed when I was 9 months old so he’s been my dad my entire life. They have found a mass on or around his bladder. We are waiting for an appointment in Vanderbilt so they can get a biopsy done. It’s so hard to have any peace in this life anymore. TIA

Done

 

[thistime]

It's still CJH offense.

 

[BigSteve09]

Ready to see the finalists released. Obviously Hyatt will make it. Marvin Harrison Jr is the media darling.

Previous winners - Year, School, Conference, Class, Pos, Games Played, Receptions, Yards, very last number is TDs from scrimmage.

2021 Addison


2020 DeVonta Smith


2019 Ja'Marr Chase


2018 Jerry Jeudy


2017 James Washington


2016 Dede Westbrook


2015 Corey Coleman


2014 Amari Cooper


2013 Brandin Cooks


Just Blackmon was the only back to back winner in 2010 and 2011



Here is how Hyatt currently stacks up, with 2 games left:
10 games, 58 receptions (probably on pace with Coleman, Washington, Jeudy), 1116 yards (1300+ will do fine), 15 TDs (20 is probably the magic number)


vs current media favorite Marvin Harrison Jr
10 games (he will get 1 more game than Hyatt if he goes to their conf champ), 60 receptions (negligible), 969 yards, 11 TDs

Fire Banks amirite

Obviously!

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I’ve never seen a guy who the media wants to see succeed more than Shane Beamer.

That “Shane Beamer Coaching DNA” graphic might be the most shameless thing I’ve ever seen on an ESPN broadcast. And there’s a lot of competition for that honor.

Facts

These ppl have been shilling hard for a while. That SEC Mike guy has done it since the summer just like all the others. They must be watching something different than the rest of us.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Manti Teo was the closest I can think of

Suh

 

[drvenner]

Cuz history goes wayyyy further than 22 years.

Apparently history is just as hard as math is for some people.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If I was on the roster as a WR at UT I'd just wait before doing anything...

Tillman, Hyatt, Keyton and even still Bru could all be gone. All 4 of them should see what the scouts say about draft projections and all of them should go through pro day/combine if they can (not sure how far into the process they are allowed to go before losing the ability to return).

And I actually think we may be less likely to take a WR in the portal this offseason even if all those guys left. Walker, Holiday, & White all have better stats this year than any WR outside the top 4 did last year with 2 games still to play. Also them having rapport with Milton already will be big for success next season.

Calloway I figure is gone too. So it'll be a pretty wide open competition for starting...even if Bru/Keyton return this season just shows how injury can change things immediately.

 

[drvenner]

This was the Tennessee way

Teo and Hutchinson got the closest

This certainly proves the Michigan bias in these things. Look at Suh's stats (FROM DT!) compared to Hutchinson. Suh was the most dominant player in my lifetime that I have seen. He made that crappy Nebraska defense really good almost single handedly. I also thought Mathieu was better than Woodson or Peppers ever were.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I can't wait till we see a full team of Heupel's own players.

 

[drvenner]

For those concerned:

I ran simulations for the top ten teams' next 2 games, and assumed the expected team would win all games...

Tennessee will finish the season with a Strength of Schedule around 16th best (currently 4th). No one in the top ten is close:

And, the two teams in the top 10 closest to us (LSU and Bama) both lost to.......us.

Mathieu was a TRUE game changer on every play on defense and special teams. Way, way better than Peppers. Not as great of a corner as Woodson (duh), but he'd just run up and rip the ball out like the ball didn't want the other player carrying it anyway.

Lol. Ga fans say Heupel only winning bc of pruitts players

that when Heup’s recruits are here we’ll start losing again
