Should we rest some players against UK?

[VolWatchman]

So I had a couple of coworkers bring this up yesterday. They want us as healthy as possible for the dawgs, but I said they were crazy. What say you?

 

[loservol]

More important to be undefeated at home.

 

['Boro-vol]

No…not until the game is decided and Kentucky is suitably humiliated. Run them out of the top-25 by halftime.

 

[bpalmer28]

The way I see it we are playing for a playoff spot against UK. They are a top 25 team capable of beating us if we don’t bring our A game. All hands on deck.

Kentucky is coming off a bye week. They are going to be absolutely jacked and ready to play against their most hated rival, who just happens to be #3 and a CFP contender . We gotta be ready to play and match their intensity from the get go. No one rests.

 

[hog88]

No. This is a must win game and the Wildcats are not to be taken lightly.

 

[DaddyChad]

If you think Bama and Georgia fans are insufferable let the game even be close versus Kentucky….

 

[WillisWG]

Attack, attack, attack. ALWAYS ATTACK !

 

[OrangeVolMan]

No offense to OP but this is silly. Exactly who would you rest? Know it can’t be anyone on Defense. Not resting Hooker, WRs or starting OLine either so not sure what is left.

 

[BoColoco]

Where’s the “hell no” option?

Yep this means more to them than any other game at this point. This is their bowl game. This game the scales that weigh the success of their season. We have everything to lose and they have everything to gain. We should still kill them though.

 

[IndianaVol]

Ummm...who is there to rest?
Folks keep forgetting there are key positions that we are dangerously thin at still...particularly on the Defense.
Our amazing Offense has covered up a multitude of weaknesses fro us so far.
KY is one of those teams thar given the chance can expose those weaknesses....so NO, no rest for the wicked until 3rd or 4th qtr. when we are up by several scores.

KY is not a pushover this is their Natty , I hope we blow them out but def don’t rest anyone unless we have a big lead . I hope we do but it is a tough spot when everyone expects you to win and you have to go To Ga next week

 

[peachtreecornersVOL81]

Yeah...we're really good again but not "sitting a bunch of starters against a top-25 team" good. At least not yet anyway.

 

[SoddyAllVol]

Hellllll no. Who voted yes??

 

[NO SIR EEE]

They are completely clueless. Kentucky can play.

 

[WillisWG]

Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

 

[Orangepantsforever]

WTH!?!
Someone’s way over confident.

 

[peachtreecornersVOL81]

Ok I'd like to know who voted yes and why.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee cannot overlook the Mildcats, they are coming here to spoil our season. They are a good football team, the Vols need to play hard and take it to them like they stole their lunch money!!!

 

[Born a VOL]

I'm nervous as crap about this game . We have to win this game . Never under estimate any opponent. Use all weapons. Never let of the gas. Build more steam!!!! . GBO !! One game at a time . Don't even think of aGeorgia dog. Lets go spank the cat first. Go Vols !!!

 

[Hacksaw]

Expect a tough, competitive game. Play all-out until the situation dictates that you can rest guys. If we're leading by 28 late in the 3rd quarter, THEN we can think about resting some guys.

 

[VolRage]

No, the mouth pieces must be punished for their brazen talk and pushed back beneath the rock they’ve crawled out from under.
