10-2: I don’t see 3 losses on this schedule

LSU just had Myles Brennan walk away from football. Culture issues on the bayou. Probably told he'd be the starter and the first couple of practices didn't reflect that. Baton Rouge looks less and less like a toss up.

I know, orange tinted glasses, but with our offense rolling into its second season with Heup and a defense improving with some really proven position coaches, I expect some good things from this team. 10-2 seems like a big jump from 2020, but then I looked at the schedule a little bit more....

Ball St- Easy W. And we play them on a Thursday night so we have more time to prepare for....

Pitt - They lost too much off last year’s team. If Hooker had been the starter from the get go last year, we beat them by 2 tds. Heup with 2 extra days to prepare? Forget about it.

Akron - Easy W.

Florida - Easy W.

🤣 Seriously though , they are in too much turmoil and lack talent on the lines and at WR. Didn’t they just lose a WR to injury? Better luck next year losers gators.

Bye - A little early, but good for a break before LSU and bama. Heup can cook up some plays.

LSU - Also a team with a lot of recent turmoil. Brian Kelly is just Butch Jones, Sr. and been able to hide that with Notre Dame’s weak schedule.

Bama - This one is going to be tough. Saban has a renewed drive after losing to Jumbo and Kirby last year. Look for us to play them close however. If they hadn’t gotten the Georgia WR, I’d say this could be an upset special.

UT Martin - Easy W.

Kentucky - We beat them at their place last year. We’re better. They’re worse. They’ll be physical, but this is a 14-17 point Vol win.

Georgia - They lost soooo much from last year. If this was at Neyland, I’d be putting money on my Vols. Heup has the team competing late, but the SEC wants a uga-Bama championship and the refs bail out the butt-sniffers with a bogus call with under 3 minutes left in the game. Every. Damn. Year. Bring your mustard bottles.

Missouri - Heup blasts the SEC officiating all week and then names his score against Mizzou. Expect 70.

South Carolina - These guys are already dead by this point in the season. Rattler has been crushed by the SEC grind and we play against a grad assistant. Expect 60.

Vanderbilt - Easy W. Students leave this game wondering how Tennessee has ever lost to this university. Expect 70.

10-2 regular season. With the SEC protecting uga and bama, my guess is they lobby for both of them to get in the playoff again (watch the one loss team win the SEC Championship like last year), so we are looking at a Sugar Bowl invite.

I know, big dreams, but I just don’t see 10 teams on our schedule matching our talent, scheme or coaching. Hooker is too good of a leader and qb and Heup is too good of an offensive genius. Our pace can’t be matched.

Lol. So the difference between us and Bama is one WR huh? I hope you’re right but I doubt it. Regardless, I’ll be rooting us on and I definitely believe we’re going the right direction.

Not because he was running 3s behind the Jayden Daniel’s and the other qb Nussmeier?

The defense won’t be nearly good enough to win 10. We should be happy with 8 wins and don’t be surprised if we win 7. Losses to Florida Georgia Alabama and lsu

Defense was good enough to win 9 games last year (Pitt & OM) and that was with a stripped roster. If they just get a little better on 3rd down it's good enough to win 10 with that offense & schedule.

Pitt also playing on Thursday night so they have same time to plan as UT does...

I was a little extreme with the ‘Butch Jones, Sr’ line, but I do think Brian Kelly benefited from some easy schedules at Notre Dame. I can’t remember a ‘big’ game that they won during his tenure. I’m just not sure he’s gonna make it at LSU.

They’ve lost a lot of talent and had serious culture issues the last few years. Eli Ricks left for Bama and I’ve heard he doesn’t want to practice at Bama and may not start at the beginning of the season. That’s the type of culture Kelly is walking into at LSU.

I think their offense previously having zero proven receivers and now they have a proven upperclassman makes a difference for how much they score. Nobody having issues on offense wants to come into Neyland and play this Vol offense. Bama knows they gotta score 30+. The uga receiver makes that a lot more attainable.

I will own it...looked like an 8-5 team to me with a turrible defense.

Will gladly say that I was wrong.

Yep. I felt 7/8 wins was the ceiling. Barring some sort of epic meltdown 11/12 is that ceiling. Georgia will be tough even though I know we have the coaching and talent to beat them.

Some of y’all gonna be real disappointed if we go 8-4 or 7-5 which is a real possibility. We could easily lose to Pitt, Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina along with a probable loss to LSU and and definite losses to Georgia and Bama. Pump the brakes and temper your expectations because 10-2 isn’t happening. I would be estatic with 9-3, pleased with 8-4. Disappointed with 7-5 unless we have alot of injuries. 6-6 would leave me questioning if Heupel is the guy long term for us.
