Florida is not anywhere near good

[EZE]

I love the people who get on here, start a thread jumping to conclusions after the first 5-10 minutes of a game, then it ages like this one, and they look ridiculous.

 

[Bullet2183]

They looked pretty good to me! Held Alabama in check most of 2nd half. Poor offensive play going for two cost them a tie! Bootleg would have been a better play call…
I hope Vols win next week but I just don’t see that happening. GBO!

Bama's D isn't good.

 

[BearCat204]

I mean you can set your clock to the OP and making really derp threads

 

[BearCat204]

You are, you were pretty much jumping on Florida being a good team. Bama about to FATALITY THEM.

Florida will beat tennessee by 17+

 

[Kngsport VFL]

I doubt they will even slip in the polls. They played a very close game with the No. 1 team.

 

[RockyTop140]

And yet you wasted time on it.

Yes, I wasted 30 seconds. Great point

 

[Boca Vol]

Another "Gold" thread from VN. Good stuff!

They’re not good or nowhere near good I guess but will still beat the brakes off our a$$ so what does that make UT?

Think what you want but they’re pretty much a joke

They held Bama to 31 points, and 80 yds rushing. Meanwhile, they ran the ball all over the Tide. They were a 2 pt conversion from a tie with number 1.

OP, we say this every year and still get beat. I'm not saying it no more. Maybe we'll win if I don't.

I think Hooker's arm won't give us a chance...

Doesn't need a big arm, just needs to find space when the defensive pressure comes. That has been our issue, they are gonna have to account for him as a runner. I think we make the game more competitive than it has been in years. Our last QB to beat FL had some wheels.

Since when did being good become a requirement for beating us? Mediocre teams own us. God-awful teams have beat us.

 

[EODVOL]

Umm what? They are 5 pts behind a very good Alabama team. They will beat the brakes off of us next week and if they don’t I’ll come back here and happily apologize to you.

If you watched that Alabama game, there Defense wasn't typical Alabama. Looke like hot garbage. FL exploited that middle in the passing game. I wonder if To'To is to blame, I mean last year the middle of our defense was eaten alive in every game.

Is @NO SIR EEE living?

 

[TNnative]

If they were a good team, they’d be winning son

Well, DAD? Before it starts, bing watch a film festival of all the slasher movies and R rated war movies that have graphic violence in them. About 48 hours will do. It might ease the shock. This looks like it is going to be ugly.

The qb play and OL play will be the Achilles heel for UT. Fla will hv a field day and like their chops vs UT. I for on hope we cross the 50. Bama had a hard time running the ball so we definitely won't be doing that. So when being forced into a one dimensional offense they'll pin their ears bk and come after the qbs.

And our wideouts have to make them paying by catching the ball and making a guy miss. Thats what Bama did as well. Granted we don't have the players Bama has. But yes Calloway, Velus and Hyatt can all make them pay on the perimeters. It wont be an easy game and I certainly don't think we have a real good chance of winning. But we do have some weapons and if used correctly and we play well could challenge Gator defense.

Florida will take away his ability to run to consistently over the course of the game. He may have a few breaks, but we have shown that defenses just need to stack the box because any passing down the field over 5-10 yards is non existent with us.

 

[Behr]

Y’all have a great team. You might have given Alabama their only close game of the year. I hate everything about your team but anyone talking as if Florida isn’t good this year is delusional

Thank God you told him he might have never known.

Amazing.

They are a legit top 10 if not top 8 team. They have a very big gap in talent and experience against us not to mention scheme and confidence and home crowd. They will thump us most likely but if we could make it close that would be a confidence booster for a lot of our young guys.

Scenarios like this is where JH system comes into play. Unlike previous coaches, when the box is stacked JH will pass it instead of running it up the middle. Gonna be some one on one match ups. QB just needs to make the quick read and get it into play makers hands. I feel if we can stretch them deep, those time they bring the house, the middle wil open up. This is why I feel our TE's might have a game this Saturday. Gotta first make them respect the pass game and our QB's legs.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

I'm here. Let me apologize in advance for posting early. I still think Tennessee-Florida is going to be a war Saturday, as hopefully it should be. I also wanna apologize for my actions, I had pretty much been drinking since noon Saturday and got on my phone. Dumb mistake. If I offended anyone or insulted anyone, I apologize. An alcohol fueled thread will never happen again, I promise. Thanks for understanding if you do. Go Vols.
