I have not seen anyone mention this, but IMO we should see significant improvement in the running backs with Jay Graham coaching the position. This is the first year under Pruitt that we have a true experienced RB coach

I agree, and behind this OL, these guys should find some seams. The rest is on them. Run the ball and mix in the passing game. This could be a fun year.

I’m honestly worried about Kennedy at Center I think he is our weak link

I really wish Tim Jordan had not been so stupid and was still on the team. He was primed for a really good year as our #3 RB, I think we need a big bruising style back to compliment Chandler and Gray.

He had a high floor but low ceiling. Not a game breaker and not exactly an elite back. No top end and he was really only super useful in short yardage. It was time for a change imo at the third position on that depth chart

He posted 10,000:1. If you bet $100 and win it would be $100x10,000. That would be $1,000,000.

Don't math me bro.

The Moneyline was +10000 sorry that translates into 100/1 so 10K -- still a nice haul. I'm tempted to kick in more. This year is going to be very unpredictable

Should be on ESPN

Sometimes online streaming (ESPN) can be blacked out by region. I didn't know if they would still offer it.

Sorry, I misunderstood your post. You posted the odds were 10,000:1. That translates to $1,000,000 payout on a $100 bet but I'm no expert.

SC Offense: Nothing about their offensive depth chart scares me. OL is decent but that's about all they got. They are scary thin at WR and RB. They have 3 true freshman in their 2 deep at WR, one of which is their 4* prize QB Commit from last year. Bobo will have to win this one by himself.

SC Defense: They actually have a decent defense but really lack depth everywhere but DL. They have a solid DL to go along with that Depth. DL and CB is probably the only SEC Caliber Position groups they have on the whole team. They have two solid Corners. They have no depth at LB and Safety.

TN Offensive Gameplan: Chaney will probably go deep with the first play, then control the clock with the running game from there on. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't play this game similar to the way the Titans play offense. Run, Run, Run, Play Action. Rinse/Repeat. Throw in a jet sweep here and there. Only pass enough to keep them from stacking the box. When we do pass, we should utilize the middle of the field. They are weaker at S and LB vs. their outside corners. A good slot guy or legit TE could feast in this game if they try playing Man to Man. Enter Jalin Hyatt.

TN Defensive Gameplan: Be creative to keep their QB uneasy. They have a capable QB who should help minimize mistakes. Stop Shi Smith, past him the WR room is lackluster at best. Attack the Right Side of the OL. It is much weaker they their left side. Bobo will HAVE to get creative to try to produce explosive plays. They don't beat us toe to toe in a heavyweight slugfest. We need to stay conscious of this and don't allow the gimmicks or trickery to give them life.

Only two ways we lose this game:

1) We lose the turnover margin by 2+
2) SC is somehow able to stop our running game, and we have to rely on JG to be a true playmaker.

Really tried to study this SC team. I read many articles and listed to some podcasts today.

Just tried listening to a podcast with JC Shurburtt (alone talking to himself). I have followed him a while through recruiting and new he was a homer but wow this cat is delusional. I was hoping to get some insight into their depth chart and the SC team. But no.... He spent the whole time trying to convince himself that USCjr is a better program than UT. Made it about 13 minutes before I had to turn it off. Here are a few of his doozies:

- "SC has beaten TN head to head in recruiting more times than not since Muschamp arrived." The truth is Joe Anderson is the only prospect that SC beat us head to head on their entire roster. That was a blunder where we passed on him early on and tried to get back in late when it was to late... We have 10+ examples us beating SC for kids on our roster.

- "TN is at the same level as Mizzou, KY, SC, and VANDY right now. Every game is a tossup. No real leader for 3rd in the east. Equal in talent and depth." LOL Vandy???

- "SC expects to beat TN every year, as they are the better program."

I was born hating Bama, UGA, and UF. After living in SC and attending a game at Columbia I have grown to hate the SC fanbase just as much. Worst away game experience I have ever attended.

Can not wait until we run the ball right down their throat on Saturday on our way to a 14+ point victory.
