But hey....you have Leonard Fournette....30 yards against Bama hahahaha....oh, I forgot, he broke the 200 barrier against sun belt quality defenses....


He was under 150 yds only 3 times this year. Two of those 3 were for 108 and 91. Only bad game was Bama.

From a basketball school fan who has only beaten us once in over three decades......WOW.

It's cute how Kentucky and Vandy both consider us their Superbowl but for us they are no more significant of a win than cupcakes such as North Texas and the humility if losing to one of them will instantly land whoever our coach us on the hot seat.

That says more about UT than it does about how good of a RB he was at UT.


because UT has never produced good RB talent


Go back and look at his UT career and tell us how special it was. Most vols were fine with fumble fingers moving on.

Foster got a bad rep because he did have a couple of huge clutch fumbles that list key games, but overall, he was a very productive back.

Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce your way. He was one guy who's career was tainted by a handful of very badly timed mishaps.

Was it luck or nerves...who knows...but he still was a very good back for us overall.

What did blowing out Iowa prove for 2015 besides 8-4?

Iowa didn't win 10 games last year nor did they field a top 10 ranked defense nor were they as highly ranked as NW. Thus team did in fact best Stanford thus year and contained Mcaffrey the guy who should have won the Heisman.

This NW team is far superior to last year's Iowa squad.

Ofcourse the rant will try and downplay our blowout win though.

Folks don't realize, with a month to heal and more practice for all of our young guys which is pretty much the entire team, you are going to get a sneak peak of what awaits the SEC in 2016. A big orange run away freight train.

What is your score prediction for the game? Just for clarity.

UT - 45

NW - 17

We will come out on all cylinders and NWs stibgy defense will be outmatched and overwhelmed. I'm looking for big strides in our passing game as well. Oline will take several steps forward and WRs will be healthy.

Tennessee will win by more than 3 touchdowns against the lowly nw frickers.

They are a good football team, though. It's a shame because of their helmet sticker, we won't get credit for an elite win.

Agreed, but we'll let them have it.

And it's no disrespect to NW, but because if their helmet sticker and perception by the rest of the nation, I would have much rather drawn a good helmet team like Mich or Ohio State.
