  • Gentlemen, what an excellent thread and discussion. +1 to volfan for getting it started. As a couple of other posters noted, watch out for Jacob Carter this year. He does have experience and has made some nice third down grabs. Very sure handed. I just can't wait to see what CBJ puts on the field. I'd be willing to bet one thing. He'll ALWAYS play to win instead of not to lose. GO VOLS!

  • I joined 24/7 about a month ago and this is the best thread I have read yet. Reading this has made me more excited about next year than ever before. I have been a VOL fan since 1970 and have seen alot of great players come and go. There were more surprises than not if you know what I mean. I seen kids that we thought would not be great turned out great and I seen great kids not turn out so great. I love the Vols and one thing about it we have the best fans in the SEC hands down. We will get back to where we were 15 years ago just give it time.

    I actually think the offense will be fairly good. The OL is crucial. Should be able to run (at least to a respectable level) on every team we face. That is agood thing too. UT is going to need to run the ball. If they can, and I think they will, it take a lot of pressure off the new QB (which I actually think will ultimately be Peterman) and keeps our defense off the field. This will be particularly crucial at Oregon. If UT can run the ball against the ducks and keep their offense off the field, I think that game will be closer than people think. And if UT can run really well, who knows?

    I also agree that, as great as Bray can sling it, he may have made some bad decisions that lost games too. Although, i still think Worley can be an above average SEC QB, I am really interested to see what Peterman does in the Spring. Would also be interesting to see what Worley does if Peterman earns the starting job (i.e. will he transfer?).

    In short, i think the OL is good enough to win some SEC games this year. I don't think UT has to sling it all over the field to win. I also think that CBJ is a better on-field coach than DD (last time I mention even his initials). I know other think is too early for that assessment, but is what I think. I felt like UT had enough talent last year to win more games, but simply got out-coached. Hopefully, that trend is over.

    i agree at some point i believe peterman will take over ,for some reason i think in my mind i want to compare peterman to florida's quarterback.tim tebo
    does anyone else he could bring that type of leadership we have been missing from tenn since bray took over?

  • The offense will hopefully be very different. Hopefully it will be more of a ball control offense. This will overall be better for the team as it will keep the D off the field and put more pressure on our oppositions D. Not only this, but it will be harder for opponents to get into an offensive rythm. While not putting up the same numbers, it could be as effective.
