Figured we could have a little game discussion here. Shouldn't be much of a game. But we should get to see how the new defense looks and see how the offense has progressed.
I want to see complete and total domination from start to finish. Appy State isn't a bad football team, but they shouldn't be able to do much of anything against Tennessee. Shoop's D is pretty much a nickel/4-2-5 all the time. It will be interesting to see if he brings a lot of pressure or if it's more of a vanilla look for game one. I'm thinking he's not really going to hold much back. I want to see Kamara and Hurd in the backfield together quite a bit.
Could be very wet. Field conditions will deteriorate rapidly if they don't keep it covered beforehand. Put it out of reach early or it could get weird like bowling green.
I want to see Preston Williams or Jeff George just run a go and Dobbs lay it up for them a few times.
I'm interested to see the defense under Shoop more than anything else. They should be a top 10 defense this year. As for Appy St- pound the ball, take a few deep shots, and cover the spread.
I really want to see the offense. I know this won't be a good team to gauge them against, but I want to see how well they execute.
All I can do for a game like this is to watch the fundamentals. Are we taking good lines to the ball on D, hows the form of our linemen, etc.
Sorry, you mean Mr. Dale Jones? Ol' Tenny D wore #54 for many years for this Bama-busting, Testaverde-sacking cat.
