If so, that sucks. Have they even had any live contact in practice?

As has been discussed, this is going to be an issue all season. Knox Co. contact tracing regs are far more stringent than anywhere else in the SEC. If anyone tests positive, they and anyone who has been in their vicinity (even if they’re perfectly healthy) has to quarantine for 2 weeks. It’s put a serious crimp in our season prep. If we’re not able to hold a proper practice and everyone else is, this could be a wasted season.

I haven't heard this - or I guess I did & it didn't sunk in - we have not been doing ANY full contact drills?  If so, there is such a thing as being in "hitting" shape.  It is a real thing for your muscles.  If you are not in hitting shape, you can't go out there and hang 4 quarters with someone who is.  Jesus Palominah...........

THank goodness - it was kinda hard to believe.  I don't think it is absolutely necessary to go full speed live 11 on 11, but it sure does help iron out any issues that can be addresses on film review.  However, the lineman should be going full speed amongst each other 3 days a week or so outside of "camp".

We have had a couple full-contact scrimmages, but they have been limited in their number of plays (~80 vs. ~140 for a normal scrimmage) and many players have had to sit them out.

Any way you slice it, we’re not practicing like our opponents are.

Well, some hitting is better than none, that's for sure.
