SC DL lost two NFL draft picks (1st and 4th round) and another veteran starter, so only one starter back. Also lost quite a bit at LB.
Then there is our OL.
We should be able to run on them. If I'm Muschamp I stack the line and dare (Guarantono) to throw. So either we fight through the 8-10 in the box anyway given our apparent superiority on the lines, or JG has to throw deep a few times to make them pay for stacking the line.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. Looking forward to it!
ON the other side of the ball,there has been a great deal of talk about what a big advantage it is for Bobo to bring his QB with him from CSU. The QB knows the offense, they know each other, etc. Well newsflash, you need the rest of the offense also! No one else on the team has played that offense in a game situation and tonight will be the first time. And IMO, DB is our strength on defense. Another good matchup to watch. They do have an experienced OL so hopefully our DL can bring the pressure.
I have no doubt that their QB (Collin Hill) will have some success, but I also don't think he's going to just show up, play with a bunch of new players, and be the next Tua either.
But in about 30 minutes we will see.
Go Vols!
