Plus our front 7 should be like great, which should help the secondary by forcing quick releases from QBs. I think our secondary will benefit from the easy games up front and will be much better than many think by crunch time in the schedule comes around.         

exactly which of our receivers are "1 star"?         

Great news!       

stadium to play in and TN's offense....well who knows, it's not even ranked although Va Tech, UCF and Kansas made their rankings.         

LMAO....ooops.      

F Gregg and his "game manager" ass! He's just pissed that he shot his wad years ago and his momma dresses him funny.      

Much more relaxed for this game, no errors and everyone was calmly focused and executing at a very high level. Man that Friday game was probably the most exciting game I've ever watched. Let's keep it up Vols!      

 

DAMN ! I felt a tingle go down my let.             

we had Dr. Shock and Shock Theater on Friday nights....I was at my girlfriends house when I first saw Rosemary's Baby. My gf lived waaaaay out in the boonies, it was about 8 miles of dirt road before seeing any pavement. NOTHING but pastures and creepy trees outlined against a FULL MOON.....I told myself "I'm hauling ass out of here and God have mercy on anything/one that I meet". I nearly sideswiped a huge oak going around a curve on that dirt road, the good news is I survived.                 

He was going to be burried on the depth chart this year
He only played because Pili was hurt the first game
He hurt us badly in pass defense
Often took wrong first steps in run fits

This year, Pili, Telander, Carter and others were ahead of him coming out of the spring

IMO he is a better Big 10 fit as a LB

Agreed Pirate, good against the run but an absolute detriment against the pass. With all of the young guys gaining experience I think we'll be ok.         

Very impressed, seems very genuine too.       

Yep, just on 3rd and i agree with your assessment.         

    

52nd St was a great album.       

Without hearing about Taylor fizzleing Swift every 5 seconds.

Help me Lamar Jackson, you?re my only hope.

AMEN !!!            

      

We should crush them 

Don't take them lightly, their D is one of the best....our saving grace is that their O is one of the worst. It'll be game that will take our max effort on both sides. GO VOLS !!!         

      

It might be time for CJH to start trusting him with more, because I'm not sure this banged-up defense can win games for us anymore.

I think He must trust Joe with more, we're way to conservative and the D just kept creeping closer and closer to the line....I felt like I was watching Johnny Majors ("we've got the lead, run it and milk the clock). We must pass more to keep the D honest. I was sure we were gonna blow it, kuddos to the D hanging tough and shutting down the run, it was sad how we made one of the worst QBs in the conference appear to be all SEC caliber. All in all, a good win and I'm glad we have an easy one next week 'cause Mizzou is gonna be a dog fight.  GBO!       

For us to win, he absolutely must have a good game, doesn't need a great game IMO but we need the passing game to be effective in order to be able to keep the D honest or Bama will stack their front 7 to stop the run and their pass rush will kill Milton who typically is far too slow getting the ball out.          

since the first quarter of his first game, that Milton is not a big time QB, but they will stay with him the rest of the year I fear. I just don't see them changing with Bama and Georgia coming up. To Milton's credit, he did seem to realize when to run and ran with ferocity this game. GOOO  VOOOLLLLSSSS! I wish we had Hooker this year, we could be great!      

Yeah those stat's are meaningless when schedules are factored in. The only way we win is if our LBs and DBs absolutely lock down all eligible receivers and we keep Rattler in the pocket where he can be sacked. Also, on offense we have to be able to run the ball consistently, if we have to depend on Joe we'll see a pick six (on one of the many bubble screens) and probably 3-4 sacks and another INT on a missed long throw. I can't understand why they haven't already made the move to Nico, we won't win more than 1 game if we stick with Joe....he simply doesn't have the brain nor the accuracy for this level of competition.        

My son hit a HR while playing in Philly his freshman year.

and only mission ready 55% of the time.
