Those stats are quite intriguing, but JeffCo's point about opponents moderates my hope to some degree.

As I have noted ad nauseum, I care not if we are attired in flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts if we play well. That having been said, Vol Twitter has too many fashionistas. One uniform would suffice.

Fortunately those folks are not currently on my lawn, or they would be forcibly removed from the premises.

I concur with Coupe's assessment of McCown. That kid is a baller.

Ohhh... I forgot about him. I used to be really good at knowing the roster. I'm slipping in my old age. Thanks for the info!

I used to know the entire roster, and where everyone was from. Saturday I had the roster open on my phone during the game.

Ollie Lane is a senior

Lane is indeed a senior, but Lang is redshirting this season.

I was pleased George Quarles took over ETSU, but they appear to be a disaster. Please explain. It seems he walked into a good situation.

This is a major concern. It seems we have better OL depth than two years ago, but minus upside.

It'll come down to which QB can make plays while running for his life.  Unfortunately, only one of the two has repeatedly shown this ability.   

Concerning and correct

Did Hubbs mention Lang is probably the center of the future? Obviously he's nowhere near ready now.

I would say that every game other than UGA and Bama is a make or break game.

This is fair.

Woo boy. Gonna need to be good at containment and pressure.

In the first half we looked like a lot of things had been improved. The second half sucked. I would like to chalk that up to having a big lead and playing subs but I guess we won't know until next week.

We will definitely have to play better against the Cocks.

Is next week our make or break game? I loathe hyperbolic commentary, but it seems that way.

Bring on the backups. Now is a good time to mess up and learn.

That ladies and gentlemen is why Sampson needs more PR

As you were saying

Whew. Nothing is easy with this OL.

If we can't run it in here...

We're spending way too much time getting a sixth year senior ready for the next eight games. The opportunity cost is large.

Turnage with the massive miss it appears

A pick run with enthusiasm

Jourdan Thomas in on the TD

On the second to last series Lane appeared to botch second down and Kariv seemed to blow up third down.

I think we can be dynamic if some pieces get right.

How did we not have our foot on the floor the last series? That's very uncharacteristic.

Terrific stuff from Joe and Keyton, but also really nice work on third down by Joe and Squirrel.

Small looked quicker than I remember.

Good blocking back Thornton
