Should we rest some players against UK?

[theroyz71]

I'm hoping Paxton Brooks will be completely rested going into the GA game, and for the rest of the season for that matter.

Wait, doesn't he kick off?

This is one of the craziest polls I have ever seen on here. Whether we like it or not (or want to admit it), UK has a good team - we cannot sleep on them. So "NO" we do not rest anyone unless the score at some point gives that opportunity. And there is no guarantee it will. I suspect UK is going to try to slow down (and frustrate) our offense by keeping them off the field as long as possible.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, unless it’s some stupid sh!t like this.

Saturday is a playoff game.

You don't rush anyone back. But everyone that is ready to play needs to be our there. Tennessee is better than Kentucky. But the gap isn't so wide that you can give folks the week off, just because

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?

They must be closet Kentucky fans hoping that we overlook them.

I voted yes, maybe it was because I knew no one else did…..

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.

Yup, this will be Kentucky’s bowl game in their minds. A win would salvage their whole season for them. Gird your loins for battle. No team ever got in trouble for being prepared

Once we're up 35-0 at the half, come out score a TD on the first second half possession, then rest players, just like we would against any other crappy team!!!!!

 

[ChattownVFL]

No way. This is Kentucky's superbowl

 

[Matt2496]

With how porous our D is, we have to keep the gas pedal floored in order to win any game. So that’s a no.

Do not even think about Georgia until after the Vols beat kensucky.

Exactly we lose this one - no SEC championship game and no CFP consideration.

Stomp a mud hole in Kentucky's ass....

[RavinDave]

Hell to the no!

Not until we have them hog-tied.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Conference game. You pour it on until it is decided...and a conference game is not decided until well into the 4th quarter.

 

[volbound1700]

No, Kentucky is a top 20 opponent and should be taken seriously.

 

[LouderVol]

If we are up by 30 in the fourth pull our starters. Otherwise? More gas!

 

[JoAllan]

I say yes.

Rest all of those 4th and 5th stringers and walk ons who played vs Martin.

I’m glad they got the play time…….but I’m sure they can use the rest.

This almost makes me wanna go full Saban mode just seeing the question. That kind of idiotic thinking is a perfect recipe for defeat.

 

[VolFanatic27]

Yes we should rest our backups and kick their ass up and down the field for 4 solid quarters. GBMFO WGWTFA!

 

[jim pique]

If we are fortunate to jump on them hard early while they are really jacked up,they will flatten and we could romp.
