Light work

Keep that same energy for Tennessee

[redsox907]

running up the stats against FCS cause you know Tennessee gonna pack your shit

[djp73]

That’s how you want to start the season

[Soapy]

the offensive line is actually pretty positive - skill position is rough. DL is solid as well, going to come down to turnovers imo. If you can hold onto the ball - you'll hit the 7 win mark

The offensive line was not a positive in the West Georgia game

The struggle in the running game and the two long touchdowns are concerning but yeah, glad Skyler got off to a good start

Keep that same energy for Tennessee

got another light work game against Georgia State (they're rated in the 50s) and then the season starts for real. i haven't looked at Tenn's roster yet but hopefully we keep it respectful

Will be interesting to see if Williams can fit it into tight spots (Ayo) when you need him to.

that accuracy outside the numbers is tough but within the hashes, he's good money (at least in practice he was)

Players to Watch
QB P.J. Hatter (R-Jr) | 6'2", 191lbs | 75 OVR, 85 SPD, 90 ACC, 89 THP, 76 SAC, 76 MAC, 60 DAC
‣ Hatter put up some numbers against Georgia Tech, throwing the ball fifty-one times and throwing for 346 yards but he did have two interceptions. Hatter is the type of athlete to make things interesting in the backfield and he'll need to do so against a suspect offensive line. The Owls will need to corral him in and stop him from extending plays or breaking off long runs like we saw last week against West Georgia.

WR Javon Robinson (Sr) | 5'6", 181lbs | 80 OVR, 91 SPD, 91 ACC, 91 COD, 85 CTH
‣ An uber productive receiver, despite his diminutive stature, that had nearly a 1,000-yard campaign last year for the Panthers. Georgia Tech couldn't slow him down, allowing him to catch eleven passes for 135 yards and a touchdown, reaching the endzone in both games this season and also eclipsing 1,000-yards. This is a matchup where the Owls could miss having someone like JeRico Washington Jr. who they could sic on Robinson.

CB Tyler Scott (R-Jr) | 6'1", 200lbs | 74 OVR, 87 SPD, 89 ACC, 82 COD, 69 MCV, 76 ZCV, 76 PRESS
‣ A big physical corner that wants to get his hands on receivers and redirect them, this should be an interesting matchup for the Owls top two outside receivers in K.J. Parker and Eric Weatherly who are smaller, slipper receivers. The passing game had a field day against West Georgia but sees a bump in competition, led by Scott who is the Panthers best defensive player and someone that's not afraid to get up close and personal with receivers, which allows for the chance to get behind him.
