Coming into the season Emanuel Hall was thought of as one of the best receivers in the SEC. And, while he is still extremely talented, he hasn’t had the production that Tigers fans have come accustomed to.

  • However, to be fair, Hall has been nursing a groin injury and has had to deal with the unfortunate news that his father passed away. But, since Hall has been back, he has caught seven passes with one touchdown.

    Hall can put up some huge numbers. Earlier in the season against UT Martin and Wyoming, Halls accounted for 171 receiving yards in back-to-back games. He also scored three touchdowns in those two games.

    Again, I know it was last year, but against the Vols, Hall had five receptions for 102 yards and scored two touchdowns.

    Hall is a tough guard with his exceptional speed and always seems to find a way to get back to the football in the air. The Vols will have a tough time handing the deep threat ability, and surprisingly he can out jump defenders for the ball.

    We have been saying this for a couple of weeks now, but the Vols secondary continues to improve and should be able to contain this Missouri passing attack. However, a couple of missed assignments and the game can get out of hand.
