Vols starting safety Brian Randolph arguably the team’s best defensive player is out for the season. This a big loss for Tennessee.
Florida’s 555 YDS of total offense is the most Tennessee’s D has yielded at Neyland Stadium, most since 1988 against Washington State. The Timm Rosenbach years; before Beldsoe and after Rypien.
Fortunately Illinois played Charleston Southern because they were without their starting QB, RB, C, LB, and both starting safeties. In addition starting wide out Darius Millness was on the sidelines with his arm in sling after already dealing with sprained ankle. Coach Beckman can’t say for certain if any players will be cleared to play this week. Louisiana Tech and Penn State are up the next two weeks.
Mizzou coach Pinkel says James Franklin’s return will be a game time decision after missing the Arizona State game. Pinkel also challenged those for questioning his toughness. Most of this is coming because OC Yost talked about how it didn’t bother him one bit that Franklin declined to an injection, so he could play.
Utah playmaking safety Brian Blechen will be back in the lineup vs. Arizona State following a three-game suspension.
One linesmaker set a possible NC title game between Alabama and Oregon, Bama -6.
Being the least penalized team in the SEC doesn’t mean much thus far; Kentucky least, Ole Miss 2nd least.
It's obvious the Big 10 is bleak this season; 4-8 against BCS schools. I never thought the Big 10 would rank 5th even behind the ACC.
