How many TDs does UT win by this weekend?

If Nico beats Bama or just manages the game against them, it will shut a lot of the naysayers up. Tall task for a first year starter behind a subpar Oline.

We either break out this weekend or it's gonna be a loooooong second half of the season.

Many of the olines “shortcomings “ can be coached around to a degree- believe it or not.

They need to keep doing the rollouts. Those were the most productive plays from a percentage standpoint.

However, Nico not seeing the field isn’t going to change overnight. Maybe not ever??

I think the latter (to how our season goes) is the most likely.

Give Gaston Moore a chance to let Nico reflect and observe if need be

Gaston Moore? Please step slowly away from the edge.

Gaston is a dead end and Nico is still competing for the future. There has been no indication Moore is better either.

I was also calling for Nico to sit for a series against Florida but after watching breakdowns I think my expectations were too high of him and not critical enough of the O-Line in relation to his development. He certainly made mistakes, but also is making classic rushed decisions when a QB is under pressure all night.

You have a 300+ lb guy land on you at full speed and let me know how you feel. When it happens multiple times a night your internal clock starts to buzz faster and faster.

I hope I am wrong . . . But there are zero indicators this offense will “break out” with this oline and a struggling / young QB. I foresee tons of holding penalties on UT to continue to put our offense in 1st or 2nd and long.

UT needs to score on the first or second drive of the game.

The two best players on the field (raw athleticism and raw talent wise) are playing for Bama - Milroe and Ryan Williams.

If UT wins will be something like:

27-20 or 24 - 20 or 24 - 21

I think to win a close one . . . UT will need at least one defensive score off of a turnover and at least one TD pass from Nico. They won’t let Sampson beat them.

You say that but they have not been able to stop the run this year at all.

How many touchdowns ??

ALL OF THEM. Bama ain’t getting in the checkerboards this Saturday.

I'm feeling good about this weekend because people are questioning UT. I think this is a breakout week. Bama has been struggling and our defense can handle them. I think we light them up for at least 5 TDs and beat them by 2 TDs.

I think that Tennessee wins by 1 touchdown in a low scoring game.

3 TD'S would be a improvement from the last few games. If we score 5 that would be a offensive explosion

Boo Carter or Jakobe Thomas needs to introduce themselves to Ryan Williams

All depends on Nico. Bama has all the jimmy and joes. They will stop our run game and make Nico beat them. His time to shine. I think if Nico can not turn the ball over, throw for 200+ and 2TDs, we have every opportunity to beat Bama.
