College football whiparound
It’s Wednesday of game week. That means a lot of college football items to digest. Here’s the 5-at-10’s Wednesday Watch Big 5:
UTC fullback Taharin Tyson and the rest of the Mocs are fired up to start the season
after just missing the FCS playoffs last year.– UTC wants support as ace columnist Mark Wiedmer details here. This is an interesting issue on several fronts. Of course UTC wants a home-field advantage and support and a big, loud crowd. UTC supporters want more wins and fewer close-but-competitive losses. And we know this, as well: When you challenge a fan base, you best be ready for the challenge, because let’s say 15,000 show up Saturday – and that’s a crowd this town could do if the weather’s nice – and the Mocs lay an egg, well… Over/under on UTC crowd at 12,500 on Saturday. Whatcha got?
– After a great team showing in a 38-7 win over Utah State, the Vols dealt with areas that need improvement, including a better running game, as UT ace Downtown Patrick Brown shares here. Also in that peach from DPB is that fifth-year senior left tackle Jacob Gilliam is done for the year with a torn ACL.
