The cult comes to town this week.

Heupel is 5-1 off bye weeks.

Is the Jimbo meltdown beginning?

We need this one.

 

Only concern is their defensive front. If Tennessee can’t establish the run, it will most likely be an ugly, low scoring type of game. Don’t see them scoring a lot. Their oline is as bad as South Carolina. Probably see a similar type performance as two weeks ago from our defense.

 

If you don’t include the COVID year, Jimbo’s road record in the SEC is 3-15.

 

For the love of God, don't go back to the [uck fay]ing zone on defense

 

Their playmakers in Stewart and smith can be game breakers. Max Johnson is also a tough SOB to play like he did with their line just letting him get tee’d off on all game. I’m ready for a good game.

 

Seeing Vols-3.

Both teams have a lot of weaknesses. We need Neyland to be a difference-maker.

Of our six toughest games of the season, only two are at home, and the other one is Georgia. Take this one, and we can still dream of ten wins. Drop it and we’re going to need some road wins just to stave off 6-6.

 

Tee off on the qb and limit 3 and outs, Tennessee wins comfortably

 

If they sit back in zone and forget to run the ball some, it will be stressful.

 

Tennessee will lose if they sit in zone. TAMU is stout up front, the screens we all cuss will help wear them out

 

It's times like this where I wish we could just line up in the I and run downhill. Or at the very least just have a guy like Fant to really make use of.

 

I like the swings/screens/bubbles with Heuple cause he seems to have the blocking set. And he seems to use them when the defensive scheme is right for using them.

But, I hated them when the Jones/Pruitt coaching dumbazzery would have us do them and with 1 on 2/3 defenders. Of course, it could have been JG's dumbazzery that had a hand in it.

 

This is what I'm worried about.

In a word, Banks.

 

I think they eat up our offensive line. A lot of 3 and outs.

 

You spent too much time in Texas

 

Concerned about that too.

 

Quiet week so far on the chat interwebs. Anyone? Beuler?

 

They're really weird but also really confident.

 

I’m in Boston this week. 1 of my coworkers is a Gator. He gave me shit already. I met a guy from KY. He is all Kroger Blue. It’s weird to talk to a guy that owns you 1 min, and another you own the next. None of the Texas people care about the Aggies.

I just know Jimbo is like 3-12 on the road in the SEC. That’s close if wrong. We haven’t beaten aTm in the SEC. We have a home win streak.

Their QB is tough. He got pounded by Bama and kept going. I actually think it’s pretty even. But our HC is smarter and it’s at home. We can grind it out on the ground so I guess go traditional. It’s at home and we win running game. And Jimbo is dumb 10/12 games a year. Vols by 1.

They have the best run defense in the league, Joe and the receivers are going to have to make some plays. I suspect Heupel will have some ideas about how to attack them. Their offensive line is a ? too, and didn’t handle that raucous environment that is Miami too well, so I think our front should eat a little bit too. As long as Banks doesn’t decide it’s a great week to drop 8 all afternoon.

I don’t think they will blow us out, but any other outcome is on the table imo
