Florida is going to win (apologies)

My expectations were that Brassell and Matthews would make our WR corps more explosive and that Nico would be significantly better than Milton, but our offense looks like it did last year.
I think Matthews has been targeted 3 times and has 2 receptions and a TD. If he plays today, he can make a difference the outcome. We need him to be involved in a number of plays.

They're not more talented or better coached.
It won't matter. We all know it won't matter!!

And we've seen this over and over again and somehow every year 80% of Vol fans get amnesia and forget that we find ways to lose against Florida. I see 48-17 scoring predictions for Tennessee??? Are you KIDDING ME!?!!

And we know Kentucky is that for us. They just find ways to lose to us.

Make it STOP ALREADY!!!
THERE'S LITERALLY NO REASON FOR A TEAM TO BEAT THEMSELVES "JUST BECAUSE"

..that's what is!! It's infuriating how Tennessee just chooses to lose to Florida.

I’ll be bumping this thread tonight

Wrong. I liked it. Sometimes it’s difficult when reality slaps us in the face. Florida consistently finds ways to beat the Vols regardless of what the “experts” predict. It’s sickening but reality. Folks act like some Vol fans want the Vols to lose but in reality we’ve seen this train wreck many times over and after last weekend with ZERO adjustments, it’s difficult to have faith in the Vols inept offense against an average D. Surely to goodness the Vols have finally put an offense together that can move the ball against a 3-3-5 or 3-2-6 D because I’m absolutely positive the Gators have put together a D that will run it at some point in the game. We’ll find out in about 4 hours.

We will see “reality” in 3.5 hours.

If your reality isn’t real, will you agree to stop using the word as if it is?

We’ve seen odd fronts in almost every game we’ve played over the last 4 years. This is nothing new. The narrative here is a false one that our offense struggles against odd fronts

Sorry guys.

I’ve watched this “rivalry “ my whole life. And we know what’s going to happen today.

DJ Lagway with 660 yards passing and 4 TDs on the season with 50 rushing is about to add to those totals. He’s a 2024 5 star out of Texas and he’s going to have his “growing up” moment at the expense of Tennessee. Because…that’s what they do…
Not because Florida is so talented, or coached by the best.

Just watch…
Everybody’s time is going to get wasted this afternoon.

We better figure out how to deal with a 3-3-5 defense, especially our OL, or it could be a long season. Until we do, every team we face will employ it this year.
It's easy. Execute your damn assignment. You can not win in this league if you can't protect your QB and make stupid ass mistakes

The problem is with the looks defenses have been giving our OL they can’t figure out their assignments.

Relax. Nico will improve. He's had big run gaps when pressured at times and hasn't opted for it, because of inexperience. Him getting better will make the offense better

Which is an execution problem any way you look at it. Starts with coaching. Laziness is also an issue. Campbell gives all he has, we know he has knee problems. Heard on the other hand I have started to have some doubts about his work ethics.

I’m just not sure each lineman knows exactly who they are supposed to block. Seems to be a communication problem given the defensive looks.

We are not confident on offense right now. OL, QB, coaches...this has all the making to be an all time ugly game in this rivalry for our side. Still for the life of me can't understand the spread for this game.

I have doubts on the coaching at the position. I'm not sure the guy up to par if I'm being honest. We need a bounce back and right the ship. Play calling is an issue. Halze hasn't show me anything as far as design goes. Golesh was really good at playing chess while others play checkers.

Yeah when we win Noone is gonna buy your "I was just using reverse psychology guys, I always knew we'd win" crap.

If we lose, Noone is really gonna give a chit what you said anyway. Some of us never did anyway.

Like Jax just said, it's just weird.

Relax? You’re asking me questions.
You implied your hope was dwindling 5 games into the season. Yeah, I was asking questions as to your seemingly predetermined outcome. Sit back, watch and learn through the course of an entire season. Lots of fans do it. Lots of fans who have been around it do it. Lots of fans who forgot more than you know, do it. Everybody has great players. We're not going to win EVERY game. Guess what? The only easy out in the SEC is Miss St. Every other team can beat every other team
