Syracuse game just got easier..

A few plays before that, UT faced 4th and long. The pass was incomplete, but the Syracuse DB interfered, giving UT 1st and 10. Had that PI not been called, UT would likely have lost the game and never played for the NC. Like the “stumbled and fumbled” play against Arkansas, it was one of the things that went the Vols’ way and led to the NC.
Takes a lot of luck to win a national championship, as well as having a good team...I'd rather be lucky than good... :D

I still don’t know what a bursa sac is, but I know I heard about the one in Peyton’s knee and whether it was going to hold up about eleventy gazillion times leading up to that Orange Bowl. Not that it would have mattered with Osborne feeding his team the special corn.

If you cannot see Nico’s talent then you need glasses. The talent gap between JG and Nico is enormous.
JG was capable of making a nice throw on occasion and was also ranked highly as a recruit, which is why you say Nico is so talented. If Nico didn’t wear the jersey you like, you wouldn’t be impressed. He looked great against UTC and never looked like that the rest of the year.

Yep and we're still not certain about what we'll be on the OL or how the WR room will end up. Hoping against hope that our evals have improved the last couple of classes and some of these younger players are ready to contribute.
The bar was set low in the WR room this year. I believe we will see better Nico will be more seasoned and we do have some young receivers that hopefully have a high ceiling.

McCord just declared for the draft.

Not that I was super worried- but an early season game against the nations leader in passing yards could’ve led to an interesting early season matchup.

Backup is in the portal as well- so probably looking for a transfer qb.
We lost to a ****** Arkansas. We have no business overlooking anybody. Same fans were overconfident about GA and Ohio St too and got our brains beat in.

I’m not over looking them- and I doubt our coaches or players care about my view on a game. just saying their qb, the nations leading passer, is leaving.. which makes it an easier matchup..

Also would make it a worse loss if that makes you feel better.

Jim Brown and Larry Csonka and Ernie Davis appreciate the shout out to their alma mater.
