Our QB matchup in Jonesboro this weekend (via @CFBNumbers)

Five Hamilton expected to start again for Arkansas State on Saturday. Butch Jones talked about the former Owl during the Sun Belt’s weekly media availability

Let’s talk about the inevitable Rickie/Amari comparison through three games hootstate.com/p/rickie-colli…

Injury update on Baron Hopson, who was a game-time decision in Knoxville. Mack says the LB is trending toward playing at Arkansas State this weekend

Kai Russell 👀 PFF’s highest-graded edge in the entire nation for Week 3

Luke Evans got the start at corner with Tyler Hallum out of the lineup. 2 catches, 11 yards allowed and a 71.6 coverage grade for the Miami (OH) transfer

Liked this third-down call from Mattioli after the scrambling trouble against GSU. Owls send both LBs, use the DTs to contain, and drop both edges to roam underneath. Tennessee picks it up pretty well, but nowhere to go. One of 7 coverage snaps in Marcus Patterson’s entire career

Good teammate move from Tay’vion Lawson. First on the scene to talk up Jordan Holmes after the freshman got caught on the fake block

Kennesaw-Tennessee grades are live. Kai Russell (92.8!) and Zion Booker (77.3) on top of the leaderboard this week hootstate.com/p/pff-kennesaw…

Who’s responsible for QB pressures in CUSA?

Josh Anglin, Perry Fisher, and former Vol Cam Miller all got elevated to OR status this week
