a.) He did go down a level.

b.) This is actually an interesting point. I've been trying to look it up to see if that actually is the case, but I'm not having any luck either way.

After watching JJ17's senior highlights, I'm no longer surprised. The kid can ball. He also had some solid receivers to work with as well. He'll have that at Tech to start with aIrFord1 and CamP5.

He's got the arm strength.
He scans through his progressions.
His eyes are downfield when the pocket collapses.
He makes plays with his feet.
He is very accurate.
And he can power run.

I could live with a rough year if it meant the next two would be downright magical.

Edit: Highlight Link

I have not heard a single person listed as injured. Tremaine Edmunds was hobbling after a drill a little bit in one of the snap chats. Otherwise, you guys know what I know.

I don't think anything released has given us a good feel. As I said following the spring game, I thought Jackson was the most accurate poised quarterback of the available options. That said, he was going with the same receivers as the first two QBs but against the 2nd and 3rd team defensive backs. Evans looked like the guy who moves works the quarterback mechanics for the run game and is very quick with reads. Accuracy was the issue in the spring, and if Jackson is in the hunt, that likely means that Evans accuracy hasn't improved.

Also take into account that this could be a giant shell game to confuse the Vols. Information has been choked down to a trickle. The snapchat went from drills and team work to virtually eliminating anything that shows play structure or a working lineup. My eyes told me Jackson is a legitimate option to be the guy provided he is far and away the best QB of the three. My head tells me that there could be some misdirection at play. Hopefully we get some open scrimmaging in the next week.

No particular order to these...
1. Play so well against Liberty, our second and third team players get a decent amount of playing time so our whole team can be more prepared for Tennessee.
2. Play a close hard fought game against Tennessee, whether we win or lose (obviously win).
3. For the love of God, beat ECU and PITT!
4. More punt and FG blocks!!!
5. Show Bronco that it will take more than yoga to beat us in football.
6. I'd love to see 10 wins
7. Continue bowl streak
8. Hang with ND... I think they will continue to be a tough team to play this year
9. Win a GD ALLMAROONEVERYTHING game!!
10. Make Lane the feared fortress it used to be
11. Our offense actually look like it knows what it's doing on the field. No more run, run, pass, punt. For the love of god don't heavily rely on the LPD/DBU.
12. End the season as a good springboard into Fuente's second year.

I mean, I hate to keep going back to this, but Bronco has to have the most punchable face in football, no? Just look at that face. I want to punch it so damn hard.


I agree!

If he transferred he would have to sit out a year unless he went down a level. He can now redshirt for that year now instead of just losing a year.

IMO, this is what's going to happen... ya'll remember last year when Urban Meyer didn't announce a starter between Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett and then Cardale Jones walked out onto the field to start the game? I think that's what's going to happen with us. I don't think Coach Fuente will tip his hand to the fans or media. Obviously, the players will know who the starter is... but I don't think Fuente will tell us until Liberty.

I am 1000% okay with that. An entire year of eligibility was wasted for a handful of unproductive plays. Playing him provided us nothing and cost him a full year of eligibility elsewhere. That's pretty messed up, to the point that it could cost him a professional career. A few yards that made no impact for Tech might cost this kid many millions of dollars. Let that one sink in.
