I do think UT has a solid group of receivers though


No doubt, a very solid group.

I feel like I am being perfectly reasonable by saying that UT does not have 4-5 elite WRs on their team lol

I never agreed with that. I quoted a guy who didn't agree with that statement as well

Our two safeties are good but not close to elite. They tackle pretty well.

Jordan Battle is almost certainly going in the 1st round but yeah he's not elite. And Brian Branch is consistently being mocked as a late 1st or 2nd round pick. Our safeties are definitely elite. What are you even talking about?

Brian Branch isn't one of our starting Safetys though.

Battle and Hellams are.

Arnold may be the best cover DB, but he commits the most penalties also -- at least in the A&M game. I was screaming at him from my seat Saturday night. LOL. And I had a birds-eye view of the 4th quarter action right in front of our seats.


I haven't had a voice all week because I was at the same game. His receiver got targeted 18 times. 18. He won his, their stud freshman won his. Arnold played well, and the only play I shake my head at was that one on the last drive where he should have had the pick but Evan just snagged it over his head somehow.

Arnold is a stud.

He is, but he's all athleticism at this point.

He can be elite, but he needs to learn some technique moving forward. He has the tools. Just needs to put it all together and he'd be unbeatable.

I don't disagree, but he gets his head around and looks for the ball better than historical "great" Bama DB's in their 3rd and 4th years. Y'all just watch, Arnold is going to be an absolute monster for us for the next 3 years.

Hellams has been more than solid and I'm sure SoG has a more accurate snap count than me but I think we've had Battle, Hellams, and Branch on the field more often than not mostly. And Hellams will get drafted as well.

Which one got a face mask call maybe on their last drive, that should have gone the other way. Replay showed their receiver grabbed our db face mask, and pulled him to get open. Our DB did nothing.

When watching the game I thought their receiver grabbed our db's face mask first, then our db grabbed the receivers face mask as sort of a reflex reaction.
