You know, um, how are you feeling about the offensive line coach so far, Tucker?

Yeah, Glenn Ellerbe, I, I'll admit he's probably the biggest source of frustration among Tennessee football fans at the moment.

Um, other, other than Josh Heupel maybe not allowing, um, Tennessee to really be itself offensively.

Um, it, this year's been weird on the offensive line because we kind of thought, "This is gonna be a solid unit going into the season." Um, but Ori Williams has not lived up to the billing at right tackle, so you've had to make some adjustments there on the right side that are not exactly comfortable for this offense.

Then on the left side you got David Sanders, but Wendell Moye, who a lot of people were thinking, "Hey, this is an all SEC guy," uh, before the season, he's out for the year now.

Um, out, out for the year after that Texas game.

So, um, they've, they've had to try some things up front and I, I think they're still kind of trying to figure it out.

Like, what do we need to watch out for from the Vols on Saturday, Tucker, and the players that we need to look for?

Do you have a pretty good lean? Are you in the same camp regarding DGG and his commitment to Tennessee over Ohio State?

Yeah, look, initially, Mark, I was thinking it's Ohio State.

It's going to happen.

We've seen this happen too many times in the past.

But just in recent months, everything that we saw on the visits, some of the things that were coming out of those visits...

It just sounds like Tennessee has made a concerted effort to go after him in this recruiting cycle.

It's been relatively quiet to this point in recruiting for Tennessee.

versus they underachieve they go seven and five or a week eight and four get blown out a few times and it's really a forgettable season what would be the two differences there meaning why are you optimistic about this team what should we like about this team where are the strengths versus what are you scared about
