Just curious...how much more game experience have Jonah Williams, Lester Cotton, Jalen Hurts, Bo Scarbrough, Damien Harris, and Joshua Jacobs had than these Vols' replacements? I would guess not much.

Tennessee is moving backup defensive ends to play defensive tackle...so, while they may have more game experience...playing a different position is still a bit of a disadvantage.

BTW...I would probably take the freshmen you listed over Marcus Tatum who had not taken a single snap all season so he could be redshirted...he had to come in to replace Chance Hall when he was hurt during Saturday's game.

Face it...starters are starters for a reason. Would you rather see Jonah Williams in for Bama this Saturday, or Jacob Probasco?

If Jonah Williams went down I'm guessing we'd see Korren Kirven, Matt Womack or Brandon Kennedy and not a walk-on from New Jersey.

It wouldn't be fun, but we'd adjust the gameplan and figure it out. Our 2nd string RG (playing in place of the injured Alphonse Taylor), Lester Cotton, won his matchups against Tuttle and Kongbo for most of the day.

We started a true freshman and two sophomores on the OL on Saturday, along with a true freshman QB, a quad of SO/SO/FR/FR at running back.
