We are about to enter the final weekend left with no college football. Tennessee Football starts its season in two weeks, though, and Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker continue previews of the Vols by looking at true freshmen and the FPI projections for them. They also touch on the Johnny Manziel documentary, fighting in practice and Hugh Freeze. Fred White joins.
Top five Tennessee Football true freshmen
With so much talent gone and a top 10 recruiting class, Tennessee Football is destined to have some impact from true freshmen on the year. Who are the five true freshmen most likely to see significant action for the Vols? Are any of them favorites to start on the team this year?
ESPN FPI projects Tennessee Football record
Ranked No. 12 overall in the ESPN FPI, Tennessee Football is projected to go 9-3 this year. The Vols are given a less than 50 percent chance of beating the Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs, and they are barely over 50 percent with the Kentucky Wildcats.
Fred White talks Tennessee Football bonding in practice
Jacob Warren recently spoke about Tennessee Football working to build a bond in fall camp. Fred White was part of one of the closest teams in history, the 1998 national championship Vols. What type of bonds can players build with each other once the preseason is underway?
Fighting in practice
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders recently lashed out at his team for not getting involved in a fight in practice. What’s the protocol for teammates when a fight breaks out? Do they need to get involved to break it up, or do they need to get involved fighting with them?
Johnny Manziel documentary
A recent documentary on former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who was a bust with the Cleveland Browns in the NFL, sheds light on the value of certain players to certain programs, the dangers of lack of discipline, and what players missed out on pre-NIL. What’s the biggest lesson to learn from Manziel?
