As Tennessee Football prepares for what should be another sleepwalking victory, Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker preview the key players when the Vols face the Austin Peay Governors. Off the Hook Sports’ Wednesday, Sept. 6 podcast also looks at the AP and Coaches Polls, FBS vs. FCS games, Tee Martin and David Cutcliffe. Jimmy Hyams joins.
AP, Coaches Poll top 25 have Tennessee Football at No. 9
After a 49-13 win over the Virginia Cavaliers this past weekend, Tennessee Football moved up three spots in the Coaches Poll rankings and one spot in the AP Poll to No. 9 in both. What would happen if the Vols faced each of the teams ahead of them this Saturday? Jimmy Hyams joins to discuss.
Key Tennessee Football players vs. Austin Peay
Given how easily Tennessee Football should win on Saturday, which players are the most important for the Vols? Are they the players who will be most crucial in putting the game away early or the players that need to show the coaches and fans some of their skills? Jimmy Hyams discusses.
APSU Governors to watch vs. Tennessee Football
If Austin Peay is going to make this an interesting game at all against Tennessee Football, which players on the Governors will be responsible for making that happen? Do they have anybody who could play at the FBS level? What about the Power Five or SEC level? Is anybody a threat to UT?
Should FBS vs. FCS games exist in the future?
When the college football world as we know it changes in 2024, it’ll be much harder to schedule non-elite games. Assuming the SEC goes to nine games by 2025, should the schools stop scheduling FCS teams, or are these games worth it for them to tune up and the FCS programs to get their money?
Tee Martin part of history
Former Tennessee Football quarterback Tee Martin is making history with the Baltimore Ravens. Martin is the quarterbacks coach there and part of the first all-Black quarterback room in NFL history. How fitting is that for a week in which the Vols will honor Condredge Holloway? Could Martin be a head coach?
