Speaking of defense - any reliable word on RMT recovery time estimates?
Has he chatted with the counter man at Chipotle?

I think OUr O-line will be stout during OUr playoff run. This year.

I can very regrettably remember those boat-race shootout games of OUr air-raid vs. whoever's air-raid in the context of our kettlebell-trained speed-D that did not tackle in practice allowing 30+ ppg.
Even lighting up the scoreboard, always worried the other team would simply score more.
AND !!!
all those games where the opponent had to play their 2nd or 3rd string QB, that had a career night to embarrass us.
Much better to have a solid D. Now that we are past the OC-revolving-door to building some continuity in the OC, O-line, skill positions, the offense will improve.

Any early scoop on OUr practices this week?

Yup and we are down 2 games out of 2 so far in the series.
... welp ... I was not a math major ... but ...
In a strange twist, another possible "bright spot" is this:
Seth Litrell is on the TN Vols staff, offensive analyst.
Maybe his input will hobble their efforts.

Yep.
JM cleaning off the rust, the receivers correcting dropsy and their route-running (or Arbuckle correcting his route trees, idk which) and we put up another 14-21 pts.
All do-able.

The guys hand-picked to impose coverage on ST have to make the tackle.
Everybody knows that any kick can go bad, the other 10 guys didn't do their job as the last line of defense.
Not the punter's fault the other guys didn't make a tackle. Team sport.

How so?
Well, I've moved thru the stages of grief pretty quick.
Now I'm thirsty for a tall, cold glass of Crimson Kool-Aid.
After listening to Gabe & Ted, their breakdown of what went right and what went wrong made sense of the trauma.
Such as: since the TE's aren't producing - just don't use those plays that rely on good TE play. Instead put in an actual lineman (yeah I know, the OL) and run backs that we've seen produce. Or, spread the D with several WRs.
G&T gave a number of concrete adjustments, tweaks that are do-able now to improve our play for the conference part of the season.
So, I expect we "balance the ledgers" on Lil' Beamer for his antics last year.
BOOOOOMER

How bad is Mateer's re-injury?
The incision ripped open, maybe the metal dislodged so that the fracture is mis-aligned?
My guess is he's lost for the season. That wound absolutely will NOT heal if it is pounded every week.
It will only get worse by the week.

OL - dud; For yet another year. How many years now?
BV did not dial up much pressure on Manning. Allowed him to scramble to play backyard ball.
Ott - high priced bust, make him pay it all back, kick him off the team.
I hate to say it, with zippo offense, I can see us losing 4 of the remaining 6 games.
Offense does well against the Kent States, but stalls otherwise.

Kudos to the OP for using the proper terminology! RRSO !!

me thinks these are early dividends from a good showing vs Michigan, and holding solid all game vs Auburn. Plus the D doing so well bouys confidence all around.
The visiting team's defensive back failed to do his assignment.
Any good DB would pay attention to the opponent's hot WR - but Auburn blew it on that down.
It was a blown coverage - that's all.
I hope the Auburn DC has enough sense to see that.

I still am learning to navigate the new conference TV shows.
So, on what service, and exactly what time - does one find the "SEC Nation" show that is supposed to be done from OUr campus?
Is that basically a junior version of "College Gameday"?
O.k. I'll go sit in the corner with my dunce cap since I should already know this stuff.
