Hey, guess what! We have a football game tomorrow............

Milton will have to play his best game ever tomorrow. A&M's defensive line isn't South Carolina's.

And neither is their offensive line. Even the Greenville SC paper said that SC's offensive line was pitiful, mainly because of injuries. It might be part of the reason UT's defense looked so good in that game.

A&M will try to jam up the running game and make Milton beat them. At least, that's what I would do.

Unfortunately, I am not encouraged by Milton's performance so far this year.

This had better be his break-out game.

Yes. Give it a bump. Zero talk about ball this week. Thanks BDV.

And!  We're finally wearing orange shirts white pants!

Did you see the pic of the Vol recruit wearing a gray jersey and orange pants?

It was awful.

[VinnieVOL]

Yes, terrible combo.  I fear we'll see that in a game someday.

A&M did stack the box against bammer, and Milroe managed to pass well enough to beat them.  I think Milton can do better than Milroe?  At least, I hope so.  Additionally, A&M may stack the box, but we have a much better run game than bammer.  Believe it or not, they are only 83rd in the country running the ball, while we are 7th.  In other words, even with them stacking the box, we could still have some success running I think.

I am cautiously optimistic about this game. Looking forward to it!

I think we will see more 2 high from them
I think they respected the bamer run game more than they respect ours

I have great trepidation, but hope two things greatly aid our cause.

1) Young LBs have more experience with run fits. They, more than the DL, hurt us against UF.

2) The OL has had two weeks to get healthy and settled. They don't need to be great, but average would be helpful.

Bonus Positive: If Nico is needed, see #2. He's also been on campus 10 months. Presumably the plan has always been to limp through the season with Joe, but this team isn't built for Johnny Majors-type ball.

If they respected bammer's run game more than ours, they are truly idiots and we will beat them due to their own incompetence.  We are leading the SEC with 231 rush yards per game.

Additionally, I think Joe's knee is healed up enough to run more this week.
