I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes who may historically post this topic but my shout outs are as follows:
Defense: Caleb Fuller was awesome...and love his hair. Our LB's were ALL Studs last night.
Offense: Marcus Cox - if you watched you saw! Our O-Line was strong.
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Shout Outs for Defense and Offense
Yea I guess we can't really do a game ball for a loss. Fuller played great as did the 2 Freshman, Stout and Duck, on defense. Shouts out to the coaches and players for the game plan and execution.
Picked up via free agency by the High Country All-Stars

Re: Shout Outs for Defense and Offense
Our lines on both sides of the ball did an amazing job. OL- No sacks, of course we didn't throw the ball much to give them a chance to sack us, opened holes to allow us to out rush and SEC team, very few penalties on the line, generally controlled the line of scrimmage. DL- despite being significantly undersized got consistent pressure on qb, several tackles for loss, bust through double teams on multiple occasions, didn't get pushed around and held their rushing game in check.
I remember a few years ago we all had questions on our lines, well its a different day now. I can't say enough about how impressed I was with the play in the trenches for us.

Re: Shout Outs for Defense and Offense
The O-Line as a whole was outstanding for run blocking and pass blocking against a seasoned SEC defense. The left side in particular , Vic Johnson a redshirt freshman and Tyson Fernandez a former noseguard held their own the whole game. Thats Lambs blindside and he had great protection the whole game all things considered. We finally have some HOG MOLLIES! up front, no more 6ft 275lb lineman.

I understand Caleb Fuller was a walk-on, who just went on scholarship back in the Spring. To make the plays he made against the Tenn Vols is truly remarkable.

Perhaps that top 5 in the country thing has some merit. That one play where we shoved the pile about 10 yards was awesomeasucrazy wrote:The O-Line as a whole was outstanding for run blocking and pass blocking against a seasoned SEC defense.
