Florida can't load the box this year

[awaitingawin]

Don't expect Florida to be able to load the box to stop the run this year. Think we have some good receivers who can take the heat off the run. Expect evenly called plays between the pass and run but a better mix to keep Florida off balance !!!!!!!

Bert- Just run the damn ball......
I agree with you OP...
Would not be surprised to see a deep ball right off the bat on our first possession....

I would expect our offense to look way different. The last 2 games we have been vanilla as we could be.

Thank you Sandra Bullock!!

I expect stretching the field to begin with to keep the S and SS and corners off the line. We shall see. JJ...PALMER...JOHNSON..CALLOWAY ..AS WELL AS RBS HAVE TO STEP UP IN A BIG WAY AND GBO

We haven't thrown a drop ball vs UF since the Korean War era. Jones was so ahead of something bad happening.

Florida's defense couldn't load the dishwasher right now. Gators are going down!

Hope your right, but Florida will do just that, load the box, until the Vols prove they can indeed throw the football against their press coverage.
It will be a chess match for a time, untill one team takes over.
Go Vols, you need to come to play with winning energy, get it done BO

Let JJ get one on one in a press situation. He'll mug the corner over him, bet the farm on it.

I am just hoping that my FYP is not correct

..... fair enough. There is still room for hope!

Vanilla? Orange sherbet. Vol ball. GBO.

 

[YankeeVol]

They will until JG shows he can show they shouldn’t

We got one thread saying Pruitt gonna bring the D we got this thread saying Florida can't. Or they can but not enough to fill the box.


Am I to assume whichever D shows up bigger should win?

Whichever D shows up bigger?

Sounds like a game of “compare and despair.”

I dont think they need to to be able to stop our run game.

Would love to see a repeat of this play.

The team that has rushed for more yards hasn't always won

I really hope you're right and that this isn't going to end up like it did when Butch was here.

Turnovers. This game is all about turnovers. Last year we threw 3 awful picks: one to end a good drive, one in the red zone to take points off the board for us, and another inside our 10 to give them 6 points.

Even thought we had 3 takeaways to keep the game close, our giveaways were simply catastrophic.

 

[VolFan4life24]

Can’t wait for the game. It’s been a long week filled with anticipation. Barely could concentrate on work lol.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

Pretty sure a quote from Pruitt’s presser on Monday was, “Now the real season starts”. Hopefully that’s a sign.

Ahhh, I miss the tearaway mesh jerseys.

 

[Nocleats]

If you have seen Our OLine try to run block this year, you would know that florida doesn't have to load the box,,,,,ever!

General Neyland was the first coach to use those. A great innovator, he would have won in any era.

Also first to use:

* sideline to pressbox phones
* game film for evaluation
* low-top shoes
* lighter pads for skill positions
