I will agree with ESPN. I came into the season hoping for a bowl game. This style sure is more fun to watch. I am on the HYPE train for now though
What grade do you give Heupel year #1.

Nice gives them a couple 4* guys on the DL this class then
Yes, would love to see them get some much needed depth on that side of the ball at this point

He doesn't get an A in my opinion because he started that terrible Joe Milton. Without Hooker, Tennessee sits at 5 wins as projected. The vols are my team and always will be, but I'm a realist. Hooker brought on hype and made the country take notice. Heupel is a offensive genius but without his man under center this year he'd be looking at a sour fan base. I will say he started behind the 8 ball with the hand he was dealt ( transfers, hardest schedule, 1st year, etc). Anyway I'll give him a b- because their was way to many stupid penalties on this team which I feel like falls on coaching a lot ( I know hurry up offense). Just my 2 cents.

I think the class is up to 15 at the moment wonder who they add though the portal. This is a real interesting group so far.
How did Milton do compared to Hooker in preseason practices?
I'm no rankings genius by a long stretch but i suspect we will finish in the 15-20 range and honestly that's not too awfully bad considering. Maybe i'll be pleasantly surprised but i'd be shocked to finish much higher than that. Go Big Orange!

Everything I heard Milton was the better guy in practice out playing hooker. they thought he had the bigger upside as well. dude has one heck of a arm. I So I don't blame Coach for starting him week 1.

A top 20 class then add multiple transfers will work.
Exactly. If someone wasn't there, then they're opinion has no validity.
There have been numerous examples of the same situation.
I mean, had Felippe Franks not gotten injured at FL, Trask may never have seen the field, and they might have canned Mullen sooner.
It will interesting to see if Kirby does anything different at the QB position going into the playoff. I think a lot of GA fans aren't happy that he didn't bring the other guy in during the second half!

I'm not sure but in the first two games of the year I say alternate qbs and see what happens during a game. See how a team reacts around a certain player. Then assess the situation. Practice isn't game time. I could tell you after 10 passes overthrown by 10 or more yards that player needs pulled. Have we not learned from the past. ( guarantano)
Everyone that had access to practice said that Milton was the guy. Wasn't even close. They were calling him Baby Cam.
