    Utah St. Returns less starters than any other team in the country. First game in Neyland?

    UT by 14. Easy win. Think NC St 2012

    We hear this every year how UT is going to lose the home opener. It really doesn't happen. The closest I'd call it was the home loss to UCLA in Kiffin's year, 6 years ago.

    Question for you UT fans. Is Derrell Scott gonna get any playing time at RB. What about Kendall Vickers on the DL. But of those kids are from my town and went to the same high school.

    Not likely for Scott, but may get a few carries but it will be behind Lane, Yong, and Hurd. Vickers has a better shot on rotations.

    That is what I figured with Scott. A lot of RBs at UT. Kid was a beast in high school. I actually just read Rocky Reid the RB who plays for Concord who we beat in the state championship game last year committed to UT. That kid had like 44 carries for over 200 yards in that champ game and just kept truckin. He actually drug 3 players from Havelock into the end zone from about 10 yards out on

    its a shame how fast seats get hot around here. Rebuilding a program the right way takes time..

    You have to make sure you have the right coach though. We could spend 10 years rebuilding with Dooley and we wouldn't get very far.

    Butch has proven to be an outstanding recruiter but he didn't impress me from an X's and O's standpoint last season. If nothing else Butch will be a placeholder for talent until we get a real coach. Butch will get at least another two years to prove himself.

    Speaking from a Razorback perspective, and from what I know about the sentiment in Knoxville, our programs have been kicked in the dirt enough lately that even an above average to good coaching grade and a little program stability would sure feel nice for a while.

    Maybe the post house of cards hangover burns a little more of here than there.. but it sure would be nice to just sustain winning seasons on a solid foundation rather than having a coaching staff that make nothing look like something for a few seasons.

    That is exactly what Butch is.

    He is restocking the talent for the next guy.

    Butch gets four years.

    I'd fire him next year and go get Kliff Kingsbury before Florida does.

    We won't.
