    Forgive me if this has been posted already. Using my fingers and several toes I figure that puts him out for the LSU! game.

    LaMarcus Coker has 62 carries for 393 yards. He gets 6.3 yds per carry and has a long of 89 yards. How many times would we have heard "Lamarcus vs Jamarcus"?

    He apparently is one of three tailbacks who have started for the Vols this year.

    Yeah doesn't sound like it will cripple their offense. Loads of talent on the offensive side of the ball for UT.

    No, but our defense will.

    True, but he represents 47% of their rushing total so far. Can only be good news for us.

    Coker is by far the fastest of the 3 backs they have. Hardesty and Foster have also been hurt a lot this year. I just think our D-line will dominate their O-line anyway.

    We're 31st in the nation in rushing. They are 85th. If you guys think for one minute that the run either was, or is going to be a threat, you've got a long night ahead of you in 2 weeks, and I hope Bo doesn't think that.

    Our pass defense is 16th. Tennessee is 18th...This game will be won in the air. Russell vs. Ainge... I'm callin shootout. I don't know how high-scoring of a shootout, but I wouldn't be suprised to see a game where both teams score in the mid 20's and the last posession renders the game-winning score.

    Agreed. He had one picked off last year here in Tiger Stadium as did Clausen. Didn't work out so well for us did it? Not knocking ya, just saying... I wouldn't hope for interceptions for a win and I certainly wouldn't bet on it. I think we can pull it off, but it's gonna be a close one IMHO. :lsup: LSU! :lsup:
