Game 1 Depth Chart / Game Notes | Tennessee

[OrangeXtreme]

For sure, he's not as far down as Simmons, should have clarified that.

Simmons is a TE now.

Simmons is a TE now.

Correct, I noted that above. Was taking about there respective depth chart spots

The only surprise really is that Antoine got the start over McDonald. I knew he would be playing a lot but to be named the starter is pretty crazy.

He must be very good

Heard he’s a beast at stopping the run and really gets downhill.

Excited for Deslauriers for sure.

McDonald is very one dimensional and it seems like we realize that which is encouraging.

I'm going to torture myself a little and take my kids to their ice skating lesson, which starts right at kickoff so I'll be recording the first Q at least. When we get home then I'll catch up. Need to avoid anyone sending me updates.

If I recall, there was a highlight or two showing him in coverage on a receiver downfield. Might not have been super tight coverage, but it is still impressive (especially given the general speed of our receiving corps).

He was the primary defender on a long Boobie reception. No way a LB who is 240 should be covering a wideout 30 yards downfield... But there Deslauriers was, only a step behind. Boobie had to make a nice catch to beat the coverage.

If that is typical of Deslauriers coverage ability and he's a good run stopper, no wonder he's starting his first college game.

That's the highlight I was primarily referencing. Impressive!

For what it's worth- I called Deslauriers as a starter on signing day!

The front seven is deep and much bigger than last year. Seems like we are still short at edge, surprised not to see Nyandoro or Gillian's.

Fran fooled everyone saying Kerr was the starting star- according to the depth chart he's backup CB behind Peal.

I think he said he was the starting nickel which he still could be. He’s likely the 3rd corner.

Fran knows what he's got and hasn't been saying.

Lol I've actually got a few folks I've already texted to let them know not to message me until after halftime.

Yea basically meaning buxton comes out as the third safety and they put Kerr in as the third corner.

The way it works is it will be someone random texting saying "can you believe what happened in the Cuse game..."

 

[RF2044]

Mack won out at LT.

Cruz at RG.

Let's Go!

Rice on 2nd unit, with Pringle and Betrand.
