Also, no mention of the ACC while that graphic was up, even though they went 11-3. Seriously, Herbie mentioned all four of the other conferences.

I won't go into the nitty gritty details, but yesterday I spoke to somebody I know well who talks to Wyatt almost everyday and they told me the reason why he is 2nd on the depth chart is because of a missed practice/leaving town without a notice to the coaches.

He is just in the dog house for a little bit but if he continues to work his butt off during practice and the time he gets into the games, he should inevitably get back to being on the first team.

It was hard to get much of a feel because so little of Liberty's offense focused outside. I thought Stroman played well so there will be a conversation. Fuente has to factor match ups (keep in mind Josh Malone's catch over the top changed the game for the Vols against Appy State) in his decision.

The one worrisome aspect was that Brandon Facyson and Stroman both got beat over the top and Liberty's QB couldn't connect. Quick fades are deadly versus man free and don't require much pass protection time, so the Vols best ticket to create space in the running game is the exact type of pass route that this defensive approach could struggle against.

"the secondary mostly played either man free, or man to man with a bracket leverage zone on one receiver. There was very little zone for Tennessee to scout."

Based on this quote from Dobbs (below), the Volunteers are expecting a decent amount of man coverage...

"First down efficiency is going to be huge. We're playing a very aggressive defense. We're going to see all different kinds of pressures, man-coverage on the outside. It's going to be about winning one-on-one match-ups and identifying the defense we're given," Dobbs pointed out. (By Rob Lewis & Paul Fortenberry on Volqusst.com)

I have a sneaky suspicion that Bud is going to have something prepared that is going to really confuse Dobbs quite a bit so far as the passing game is concerned.

Not to get anyone excited but I will be compiling a RB comparison in week 4, so we can see whats really up. I am not surprised by the use of multiple RB's at all. I do however think in a few weeks things will be much clearer as to what Fuente sees in terms of the running backs.

It's very obvious that Fuente does not care about last year's lead RB unless said RB can block and show the effort required. As French said if the skill positions lackluster blocking continues don't be shocked to see Fuente try other options.

If I told you Deshawn McClease had more carries than Sam Rogers would ya'll believe me?

Is there a high res version of this?
