It’s probable that Saquon Barkley breaks Eric Dickerson’s record of 2105 rushing yards. Only problem is they play 17 games now so the record will have kind of lost its luster unless he goes on a huge tear and finishes with 2200+ yards. Either way, I think most true football fans view OJ Simpson as the the real rushing champ since he averaged 143.1 over a 14 game season compared to Eric Dickerson’s 131.6 average over a 16 game season, which would rank 4th all-time. OJ could have averaged 52 yards over games 15 and 16 and still have the record.

Peyton Manning lost 42-17 to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Coincidentally, that was the same margin the Vols lost to Ohio State Saturday. I’m trying to recall what happened the following year 🤔

Until CJH and staff upgrade the skill positions Tennessee has reached their ceiling for now. The DB's got smoked by the OSU 5* receivers running amuck on the field. Then on offense no separation for the Tennessee WR's..Sampson was wonderful all year at RB but the loss of him Saturday night wasn't the reason Tennessee got schooled...

Last thing about Cameron Carr. The days of the VFL motto are going to few these days and times. These kids care more about the name on the back of jersey more than the one on front. This is what everyone knew would happen in this era of the NIL and Portal hopping. Carr isn't the first or last to walk away during regular season. The UNLV QB pulled the same stunt earlier this year. Enjoy the days of ZZ and Mashack as 4 year loyal guys.

I wouldn’t want my name or company associated with quitters who leave their team for selfish reasons during the season. It will be interesting if Carr finds any lucrative offers. I assume once the dust settles, he sadly will.

I would bet Carr already had an offer from another team in place before he walked..

Al Wilson and the Defense is what happened.. Tee was a great GAME MANAGER that rode the coattails of a terrific defense and running game on offense.. which brought Tennessee a National Championship..

I watched a few highlights recently, from that season and you are spot on. Al Wilson was a beast but we forget about guys like Bill Duff, who was a grown ass man!!
Fred White would straight up lay the wood to anyone!
God that defense was so much fun to watch!!
