On to Florida

It's not really optimism, it's a decent team playing a terrible team.

 

I agree with both of you; however, we have been the better team many times against Florida and lost.

 

It's never been skewed this far in Tennessee's favor since probably 1992.

 

Thanks for info about bama/fl. I just glanced at a 3rd quarter score. I think it was 21-21.
Make them throw and take away their qb keeper which has been a big reason they have won the last couple. Faster D should help, but our DE still crashes down too hard. Maybe just spy him and force him to drop back and throw?

 

If I thought Florida's give a damn would be higher than 25 on a scale to 100 on Saturday I might be less optimistic. They just seem like a team that doesn't care. Now, if they show up and it's much higher than that, then it could be a different ballgame.

 

It was pretty one-sided in 2003. Won by 2 TDs and probably should have won by a lot more.

 

"OK, boys, this week's gameplan is one I like to call 'Don't Hurt Driskel'. "

 

It reminds me of the 2007 Arkansas game. A lot of talent, but a team that has checked out

 

Very important for UT to start fast. Crush any optimism they may have right out of the gate.

 

Yup.

And yup.

 

I would like to see an 80 yard td play, be it pass or run the first time Tennessee has the ball.

 

Wild Pig Hurd

 

How about the Wild Hurd. That was unexpected. At least we finally found a way to get on the edge with an rb.

 

DY kickoff TD return IMO

 

I really feel like the Gators are this close to quitting on Muschamp for good. I saw glimpses of it in the Bama game. If we get up early on them like we did on UGA, that train will come of the tracks and the Vols will roll them.

They honestly remind me of the 2012 Vols in a lot of ways.

 

the UF players will have a lot of UF lettermen warning them about effing up their win streak. That might be enough to keep them from quitting.

 

One of the better twist Bajakian has installed.

Need to press the edges more in the running game and find the middle in the passing game.

 

Maybe.
If UT can set the doubt early they ll have to trust the guy with the headset at some point.

 

Of all the things that can keep a team from quitting, I believe that is down on the list. If you don't have leaders among the players, and that is the biggest thing, your team will quit. Especially when your HC is a complete boob who is desperate to keep his job.

 

I don't disagree. Just thinking aloud. I think it will be extra motivation for them. It just depends on if it wears off. Admittedly, I just don't know much about fl this year. I think we beat them last year if we don't knock out Brantley.
