We won by 21 and without the obvious mistakes we win by 30. We could play them 10 times and we'd go 10-0. The rest of the season is going be one helluva ride. Scary at times for sure but very exciting and with the potential to win every game remaining, even Georgia. The flipside is we could play down to our competition and lose several games. Aside from UConn and Vandy every game left will be a fight. The SEC is way more balanced this year. Every Saturday will be a battle. This team is NOT last year's team and we have to accept that. They have their own identity and it's ground and pound and quick safe throws with some stellar Defense thrown in. Milton is not Hooker but he can lead us to a great season so buckle up and let's love and support this team for who they are and not worry about who they aren't!

I see three more big fights: A&M, Bama, Georgia.

If we show up focused each week, the other games are not in doubt. Kentucky, UConn, Mizzou, Vandy, all well in our pocket as long as the lads are on the same mission they were on last night.

Go Vols!

Kentucky has a chance to pull a big upset in Athens. I would say Missouri is a coin flip.

Friends, you gotta learn. Kentucky we beat. Period. All the time.

As for Mizzou, they are ONLY 5-0 because this: South Dakota ... MTSU ... KSU ... Memphis ... Vandy.

They have played no one yet, and are 5-0 because of it. And don't give me any of that media drabble about Kansas State being a ranked team. They're ridiculous on any top 25 list. So is Mizzou.

Kentucky and Missouri are right there with Vandy and UConn: wins for the Big Orange, as long as the lads are focused.

Go Vols!

you are correct with the exception of KY. They are very physical on both sides of the ball and will give us a game and very well could beat us.

UK is a paper tiger. Talk about the blueprint to beat UK. They are pretty one dimensional. Not really worried about them. Missouri on the other hand could be a problem. Yes we have completely owned them the past 2 years. But we don’t have that team anymore and it looks like Cook has figured the QB position out. They also have a solid defense.

Not very likely. Can’t use the UF game as any kind of gauge. Not worried about UK.

Don’t be fooled, just because we stomped on SC last night, doesn’t mean we are back to last year’s form. SC was missing half of their oline.

Our number one playmaker Bru is out.

With Cooper returning, we can see that he is the one responsible for putting the line in place in our fast paced offense, not Joe. As long as he stays healthy, we should be competitive every game but there are no gimmes this year.

Cooper Mays, not Cade. He plays for the Carolina Panthers now.

Refs also took a safety away…should’ve been intentional grounding…and that punt return TD. Could’ve beat them by 30.

I’d sell my soul if we could be Alabama again this season 😆. They are playing way better and milroe is improving each week unfortunately.
