Expectations from here

[RockyTop140]

After watching this debacle, my expectations have fallen from potentially going 10-2, to 8-4 at best. Interested to see what y’all think.

Expectations and predictions are 2 different things.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

I think 7-5 based on what ive seen so far. Pessimist in me would say 6-6. Start Nico.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

7 would be a miracle

 

[Voltopia]

Based off where UT appears to be right now, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Georgia all look like probable losses. That makes it 8-4 for the year, or 7-5 if the damn Cocks get us too. God I hope they don't. I really hope they don't.

 

[Boston Vol]

First half Tennessee-really, really bad season
Second half Tennessee-8-4ish

 

[irish1485]

7 wins. I still think there are a few swing games we could win but I'm not confident

Yeah, I wasn’t sure last week, but I have dialed my expectations back now.. I’m thinking 8-4 would be a really fantastic season.. and that’s not a bad season y’all.. pull it together Vols! There are a lot more games to play! Curses on you Florida and all of your jorts and flip flops too

 

[Boone&Crockett]

There are flashes of potential but they need work, big time, unless we improve immensely I think were looking at 7 wins.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

I’ve seen us play like garbage in Gainesville many times, so I’m not ready to hit the panic button. I have not seen us lose to South Carolina at home often. If we lose that one, the panic button is officially pressed.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I was 9-3 hoping for 10-2 but after seeing the line of scrimmage play tonight I’m thinking closer to 8-4, possibly even 7-5. Even Carolina would have straight up beat this team tonight and we all wanted to blow them out.

 

[Exiled]

Georgia, Alabama, A&M - losses
SC, Missouri, KY - toss ups

8-4 at best
7 losses at worst

 

[vavolfan6]

Bad loss, but the worse has already happened. Maybe the team loosens up a bit and stops playing with so much pressure on their shoulders. Maybe fans lower expectations and stop breathing down the team's necks.

I think they improve from here and begin to make some much needed changes. The SEC seems down too, so we could still fare well. I'm still at 9-3.

Same as they were going into it, 7-5ish. We are only as good as our qb and he just isn’t good but there is the possibility he improves as the year goes on

 

[AllVols]

7 and 5 if we are lucky.

 

[DC_Vol]

Really depends on how long Mays and Pilli are out.

 

[Gandalf]

After watching the cocks today, they could light us up. I think we get it back together somewhat but now I think 8-4 is the more realistic prediction

 

[calban]

Afraid Rattler will eat this defense alive.

 

[KeyVol14]

Love my team and always will. I'm a big believer in heupel as he dragged us out from the dead but tonight's performance was on him. Playcalling was abysmal for 3 quarters, OL play sucked along with the presnap penalties. I'm not so sure I'm a fan of Tim Banks anymore. So tired of seeing receivers with no defenders within 5 yards. TBH I had high expectations going in with Milton taking over but he cannot take a game over and carry a team on his back like HH did. I'm not opposed to playing Nico going forward but I don't think it changes much from a W-L perspective. Anyway terrible night all around and the media is going to have a field day with it.

You are dreaming although the conference is way down

 

[GVol1966]

About the same as before the season started. 8-4.

Oh I was hoping I would be pleasantly surprised and we’d be 10-2 but common sense made me temper my expectations.

 

[vavolfan6]

Maybe, but I was high on Graham Mertz heading into this game and think he may be the best pure passer QB we face in the SEC. Rattler is ok. So is Carson Beck. Everyone else, I'm not too impressed with.

Also think Milton will either improve or get replaced with a 2nd loss.
