correct, but UK being able to claim KFC would be like UT claiming Krystal's since it was in Chattanooga

ok, wasn't aware of that! Other than her likeness being used and a few ad spots she did, I wouldn't say she brings any connection to UF...sure she owned a few of the locations, but so have many franchise owners

Krystal's is from Chattanooga, TN. But similar to AU, they are good for a fleeting amount of time and often leave you with stomach aches...

Pal's Sudden Service is a chain with only 18 or so locations in East TN and southern VA, but it should be everywhere in my opinion.

I also am not sure I understand the KFC connection since Harland went to La Salle and technically the original Kentucky Fried Chicken was in Utah.

Burger King started in Jacksonville...seems to be a closer connection to UF than Wendy's unless I'm missing something???

What's the Wendy's connection? It began in Columbus OH. Dave dropped out of high school, worked at a restaurant in Knoxville as a kid, managed some early KFCs, was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon national fraternity (North Carolina Gamma chapter - Duke University), but I can't find the UF connection?

Hope he sits out to get paid if that's what is best for him. Zero shame in that for him after the work he put in last year.

Tim, Do you understand scoring difference? UGA has scored 67 more points than their opponents in the 4th. Take away the UT game and UGA has scored 74 more points than all of their other opponents in the 4th quarter. Considering their margin of victory, they are in fact running up the score more so than UT, which if you take way the UGA game is only outscoring all of their non-UGA opponents by 25. UGA total scoring margin is 28.6 to UT's 23.8 (which 3rd and 4th in the nation)

JTF, I don't think you understand 'scoring difference'. Did your defense score most of that +67?

Scoring difference in the 4th quarter: Michigan +78 UGA +67 OSU +60 TCU +56 Which teams run it up? VOLS +32

Y'all arguing that UT runs up the score late; let's look at the facts then. Scoring difference in the 4th quarter: Michigan +78 UGA +67 OSU +60 TCU +56 VOLS +32 Accuse UT of running up the score early if you want, but the numbers say the Vols "run it up" far less than the rest of the top teams in the 4th.

Or maybe, 9 passes on an 11 play drive late in the 4th with your starting QB already up 25?

Oh wow, I didn't realize he didn't have an OC. LOL

I don't think you actually watched the game. Milton's pass came with MORE than 2 minutes left! The Vols ran exactly 2 plays under 2 minutes, both runs up the middle! Hooker attempted exactly 4 passes in the 4th quarter, all with MORE than 8 minutes left. For context, Stetson threw the ball on 9 of 11 plays when leading Auburn even later in the 4th while also up 25. Also, Ohio State's QB has thrown 18 of his 34 TD passes AFTER being up by 15 or more. That's more than Hooker, B. Young, and Stetson combined! Matter of fact, if you take away the 'pour it on' TDs, and only count TD passes during times when your team is in a tight game, Hooker has 22 and Stroud has 16.

I agree. I am not sure how the Vols would match up with OSU. The eye test gives the edge to UT, but OSU staff has a ton more experience on a stage like the CFB playoff. Also, I believe OSU and Bama are the only schools with 80% "blue chip" rosters. That matters. Michigan looks similarly built to UGA, and we painfully know how UT has performed against them the last two years. The Vols would be favored over TCU by at least a TD. While UGAs roster is better than the Vols, and their defensive staff had a masterful game plan a couple weeks ago, the Vols would love another shot, this time in Mercedes Benz Stadium or SoFi. I think a one score game in the 4th quarter favors the Vols; they just have to find a way to get to that chance.

I was wrong, Stroud has 18 AFTER being up by 15 or more. Hooker has 6.

Let's all remember, Ohio St's QB has thrown for 18 of his 34 TDs AFTER being up by 15 or more points! Hooker has thrown 6 (of 24) while being up 15 or more. B. Young has also thrown 6 (of 22) S Bennett has thrown 5 (of 14) or 36% of his TD passes while up by 15 or more. Joe Milton also has 5 (of 5) for those of you barking.

If that's the case, should we hold it against UGA that they threw 9 passes with all of their starters (including Stetson) while up 25 LATE on Auburn? Hooker threw 4 passes up 25 and was pulled at about the same point of their game, for reference.

UT had the ball at the 2 with just under 2 minutes left. let the play clock go to zero, called timeout; One running play, let the clock run 35 seconds and ran another running play. This all occurred with 3rd string RB, 2nd string QB, and mostly back-up linemen. Kickoff. Then Mizzou had the ball with 37 seconds left. UGA vs Auburn: Up 25 with 9 minutes. UGA throws 9 passes on their TD drive of 11 plays. All thrown by Stetson. Meanwhile, once the Vols were up 25, Hooker threw 4 passes (none with less than 8 minutes left) and then was pulled.

I'm sure you were equally 'not a fan' when UGA threw the late TD pass against Oregon?

must've been an insecure UGA coach making that call.

So was Carson Beck's TD pass late in the 4th to Kendall Milton vs Oregon classless too?

see above

Ohio St QB has thrown 15 TDs when his teams was up by more than 15 points. No other QB in the country has more than 6-7. Hook, has 5. Stroud threw 4 second half TDs to his 3 STARTING WRs and to a Senior starting TE while leading Iowa by 16, 23, 30, and 37 points earlier this year. UT's second string QB throws a 3rd option pass to a back-up WR down to the 2 yard line with 1:30 left and then runs it in with the 3rd RB and back-up linemen instead of kneeling 3 times, and people are barking. Spare me from the run the score up crybabies.

Honestly, I don't know if Drink or the OC calls plays, but the first half was called nearly perfectly for Mizzou. As the announcers pointed out ad nauseam, they are scripted plays for the QB to only have one read. UT wasn't stopping that one read much in the first half, so it worked well. However, once adjustments were made (or the Vols guessed correctly), that 'one read' play call didn't work. I'm guessing Cook needs tons of development in progression passing, or more likely, Mizzou needs someone to beat him out. Cook looked, at times, like Stetson. Athletic and just cocky enough to make plays, but unlike Stetson, he doesn't seem to be able to run a multiple passing scheme. Also, unlike Stetson, he doesn't have 5 star talent surrounding him. I am curious as to how long Drink will be given to run it 'his way'. Mizzou giving him an extra 2 years was curious, but I also think teams dump coaches too early some of the time. Based on comments here, many fans have given up on him. I just hope he does just good enough to recruit against UK and the BIG 10, but not good enough to be competitive against the Vols.

wait. I stopped reading when the writer completely whiffed. The Vols won last year. Then he goes on to say it would have been a worse loss (so it wasn't a typo, he genuinely doesn't know) if UT wouldn't have scored so many touchdowns or intercepted a pass and taken it for a touchdown. That's some killer insight. This guy's editor failed him too.

agreed. I don't think Bama loses to LSU, but his answer of which they were more likely to lose to is probably true; LSU instead of Ole Miss. Only way Bama loses to LSU is if Daniels has the game of his life and Young plays terribly (which doesn't seem likely) or is hurt (more likely)

I agree. Plus, Daniels is a better passer than Dobbs. I think.

1) B. Young - I've kept him here. However, if this weekend goes as gamblers expect, I think I'll flip 1&2 2) H. Hooker - I'm a believer in him. He's on pace to have one of the greatest college QB seasons of all time. 3) KJ Jefferson - I also believe this dude is a stud. 4) J. Daniels - I was high on him even after the FSU game, and I believe he still has room to improve. he's got a chance to show it this week. 5) S. Bennett - yes, he's extremely good. Be honest, put AJ Swann behind center for UGA for 2+ years and he'd be top half in the SEC (at least) 6) W. Levis - He's probably better than the two or three above him, but they play so slow (slowest in the league) that it's hard to put him above Bennett. He'll get his chance to carve up the worst pass defense in the SEC. 7) J. Dart - He's very good. He also has one of the greatest offensive minds and two of the four best RB's in the SEC to help him. 8) W. Rogers - I was admittedly too high on him. 9) A. Richardson - If he plays like he did against UT, he will give UF a shot. However, UGA's defense isn't UT's defense 10) AJ Swann - put him behind center of any other team. Where would he rank? 11) S. Rattler - another meh game for him 12) H. King - Am I wrong to still think he's better than this, but just not healthy at all? 13) R. Ashford - Hope he has an awesome baseball season 14) B. Cook - seriously, who's next on their bench?
