2014 UT-UF analysis?

If Tennessee establishes a running game and makes tackles, they'll be fine.

If they don't, Florida will extend the streak.

It's that simple.

We've had much more talented, much more experienced teams play Florida, and with the rare exception, none of them could establish a running game vs Florida. Tenth straight loss coming ....

Look at history. They push us around all game and win the yardage battle. They've had the advantage in the trenches for what it seems like forever and will again this year. Flash and dash rarely if ever beats ground and pound.

I agree.

In 2000, for 58 minutes UT drug UF up and down the field. The problem was UT kicked FG's and the game is 60 minutes.

In addition to ground and pound, you've got to put the ball in the end zone.

Very true. I can't tell you the last time a UT running-back busted out a 20+ yard carry against UF.

UT won't be able to line up and run at Florida, they will try to mix it up making UF defend the perimeter, if UF can defend the entire the field they will win again, if not UT will at least have a shot at them.

This. Butch will use this game to build both sides of the line to compete against anyone. It will be a fight in the trenches.

We do need to develop a running game. We also need to control the trenches when on defense. Luckily for us, we will have an extra guy to make some tackles.

Saying we're not going to beat Florida because we have a defeatist attitude is ironic to say the least. It also happens to be wrong. Unless Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer come running out of that tunnel at the start of the game, their win streak against us will have ZERO impact on the outcome of the game.

I think we'll beat them comfortably, given that we have home field advantage and an edge in coaching and offensive talent.

Did you just repost what you have written the past 9 years?

There is no reason for UF not to be good this season, well except Muschamp, he's been their version of DD at times, but in terms do recruiting elite talent, they have recruited more top 100 players since 2011 than LSU or FSU. If Muschamp will let Roper run the offense and let their QB operate exclusively from the spread and stay out of the under center pro set, UF could make dramatic improvement much like Auburn did last season when they switched from the pro set to the spread. The interesting part is that UF is loaded with elite talent on defense, and Auburn was not last season.

BUT, that being said, I still like UT's chances in Neyland this season, especially if UT wins their first two games and doesn't get blow out at Oklahoma.

This^^. Good points. I know we talk about who can run the ball for 100 yards, but I am going to go the other direction. I think we win if Worley can put up 3 TD passes. Sometimes you have to just get the ball down the field and set up the run on play action. UF will be loading the box- we have to make them pay by hitting WR's and TE's (not as much screens to RB's). Down field baby.

I still think they should have called holding against the offensive lineman. I know he was holding his own teammate, but rules are rules.

In my view, the game comes down to UF offense as I do not think that UT can score more than 20 pts., and 10-13 is more likely, really.

Florida's running game will be decent. Our passing game will continue to suck. I imagine that at 1-1 in the SEC at that point, and wanting to stay in the East mix, we will have realized by then that Driskel just blows and we have to accept that. With the week off after getting killed by 'bama, expect UF to run, run, and run some more.

Load up there and if you can keep us to less than 20 points you have a chance,. We score 21 + and I think we eek out another win.

FWIW, my long term sense is that UF is going to have a really tough year. Alabama, LSU, UGa, SC, FSU. Expectations amongst the fans is at a 20 year low, and that means season tix just not selling like usual, and that means $. By mid-season, Muschamp will be on the hottest seat in the country.

I think we stand a better chance of beating Georgia than Florida. Just hoping our lines stay healthy!

The real sad part is Tennessee managed to make that look good....despite having a coaching advantage

Bye week helps UF immensely. Don't think we will be able to put enough points on the board. I do expect it to be a fairly low scoring game though.

We`ve been gonna, maybe, might beat Florida for several years now and have not done it yet. I will believe it when I see it.

I think UT beats most teams if Worley puts up three TD's a game while playing great and not making mistakes with the football.

I disagree....changing the mental attitude of this squad is something CBJ has preached since he arrived. I see an effort like last years Georgia and South Carolina games...plus we will have the better offensive weapons at WR and as long as Worley is healthy the better QB. I see Butch motivating these kids past this mental disease that has plagued them for so long.

But if the players keep this mindset most of you all have then we are never going to beat them. This is that loser mindset that has to be changed...

This game is interesting. I'll kind of reply to the "prior games matter" posts here with my explanation of my thoughts.

UT Games - USU, Ark State, OU, Georgia

Possible outcomes -
2-2: most likely outcome in my opinion, but maybe good for us in this game as Florida could overlook us
1-3/0-4: highly unlikely, but if this happens, the season will be in flames anyway
3-1/4-0: highly unlikely, but now Florida is painfully aware of us and will bring their A game

Florida Games - Idaho, East Mich, Kentucky, Bama

Possible Outcomes -
3-1: most likely outcome in my opinion, players will still be behind Muschamp and depending on our record at the time will bring a good game
2-2: highly unlikely, but if Kentucky surprises or Florida crumbles, they will either fall apart at this point or rally to beat us and save their season
1-3/0-4: highly unlikely, if it happens somehow, expect a Tennessee win as Muschamp may not even be coach at this point if that scenario plays out
4-0: highly unlikely, but this could be good or bad for us, depending on who overlooks whom, hopefully it being Bama overlooks Florida and then Florida is high and mighty from beating Bama theoretically and overlooks us

What is your prediction if both teams came in at 0-4?
