Tennessee Football: Incoming Freshmen Most Likely to Start This Season

[Hamptonvolfan]

A lot of us are overt optimists, but Butch just doesn't have the hosses to pull this wagon...and won't for at least a couple of years...to vie for a BCS championship. 'Not enough bricks, buddy. It's going to be exciting to see these newbies improve from week to week and make believers out of the football world. Team 188's going to be fun to watch, though, so keep your head up and we'll see you at the games.:stop:

Hope I'm around for it, but I seriously doubt it.

Me too

I'm ready to hear " Its Football Time in Tennessee "

Just imagine how that feeling will be in August of 2015!!!!

We will have a lot of freshmen playing before the season is over...There is a point where talent over comes experience.

Poor Elliott.

Wouldn't that just put Elliot at around EBs level?

Too soft for team 188 imo.

Eric Berry?

I'm hoping all of them get the chance to play big roles this season.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a freshman make an impact on each level of the defense.

DL- Hendrix
LB- Bates (Jancek has praised him for staying over and putting in extra work on his own)
DB- TKjr or Evan Berry. Got a feeling the Berry twins are flying under the radar on these lists.

On the offensive side I'd say it's similar

OL: C. Thomas
RB: Hurd and Scott (if OLine can hold up enough for us to be good at pounding the rock with Lane and Hurd, lookout for Scott to come in late in the 3rd early in the 4th and outrun the tired bruised defense to the sidelines."
WR: Pearson and Malone (Malone seems to have a very professional approach to improving his craft and Pearson is very shifty)
TE: Wolf and Helm (will contribute but I don't think either will have a huge 1st year, but will show glimpses of their potential.)


Freshmen stats:

Hendrix: 30ish tackles, 3-5 sacks, 6-9 TFL
Bates: 60-70 tackles, 1-2 sacks, 6-10 TFL, 2 INT
TKjr: 40-50 tackles, 3-4 TFL, 3 INT.

Malone: 30-40 receptions, 500-650yds, 4-6 TDs.
Hurd: 700-800 rushing yards, 4.5-5ypc, 6-7 TDs.
Pearson: 30-35 rec, 400-450yds, 4-5 TDs
Wolf: 15-20rec, 250-350 yds, 3-4 TDs.
Helm: 20-24 rec, 300-375yds, 4-5 TDs

Offense ppg: 33ppg
Defense ppg: 24ppg

The fact that people truly expect these type of numbers from newcomers and true freshmen is everything that is wrong with our fan base.

Quite possibly,however team 188 won't take the field until the year 2084. I doubt many of us will be around to see it.
