I'll bet you any amount of money you'd like we don't have two 1,000 yard backs.

Carson Beck is one of the best passers in America. He didn't come here to have two 1,000 yard backs, and that's not Shannon Dawson's bag.

In 2023, with a broken TVD and a true-freshman project QB, we threw the ball 33.5 times a game, good for 39th in the country.

Insert Cam Ward, that number goes to 37.6 per game, 14th most in America.

I think this year will fall somewhere in the middle, likely closer to 2024 than 2023. It's somewhat dependent on how the pass-catchers develop, but Beck is a veteran player with a great command of the game. He didn't come here, and we didn't bring him here, to be Emory Williams or Jacurri Brown.

And remember, in 2022 with Houston, Dawson threw the ball 38.5 times a game.

We'll run the ball, but Beck is going to be PLENTY busy.
Take away the drops last year and Beck throws for as many yards as Cam did. With Beck having zero run game, many more 3rd down passes, and a worse supporting cast.
 
Watch the Vols here.

The Hurricanes had the playmaker on campus this past weekend and they are very much in the mix.

“I like Miami a lot,” Keys told On3. “The coaches are cool and I see a chance to do big things there. It is a great environment there and coach Beard is a great coach. This visit really gave me a lot to think about with Miami.”

“Tennessee recruits me the hardest. They are on me every day. Coach Pope and coach Heupel are cool guys. Faizon Brandon is my boy too. Coach Pope is one of my favorite coaches and they have been on me hard for a long time.”
