Barkley Struggling at USC
In what could be bad news for Tennesee fans, USC starting quarterback Matt Barkley struggled in a mock game against USC’s scout team. Barkley completed six of 11 passes for 113 yards and threw one interception at the Coliseum. If Barkley continues to struggle, USC commitment Jesse Scroggins might want to stay committed to the [...]
What Tennessee’s Depth Chart Really Means
Lane Kiffin’s first depth chart at Tennessee is littered with freshmen. Here’s what to take away from that:
Brandon Warren had better turn it around: NuKeese Richardson is a 5’8” 160 lb freshman. There’s no reason he should not be ahead of Warren on the depth chart. Warren should take that as an indictment. When Denarius [...]

Aaron Hernandez is Not The Best SEC Tight End
Everybody from ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit to Florida coach Urban Meyer is hyping up Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez like he is the best tight end in the SEC.
