How we feeling about the season, VolNation?

[EZE]

9–10 wins imo. I’m still not optimistic about Tim Banks or Martinez. Still a great season though

I see 8-10 and it all depends on the QB position.

 

[VolBallGuy]

I predict a year very similar to last year

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I'm optimistic. Not wildly optimistic, but not cautiously optimistic, either. Defense will by default improve. No way our pass defense is that bad and that inconsistent this coming season. And Heupel and staff ALWAYS have a devastating offense. I think we beat one of GA/Bama and sinish 11-1 and make the playoffs.

9 wins.. we will miss Hooker more than we realize, dude was historically efficient (68 total TDs to 5 ints the last 2 years).

I'm really rooting for JM but I think we take a noticeable step back on offense. Expecting the defense to be improved overall. Heupel has done a great job, love the trajectory of the program.

Feelin' dangerous Master Chief.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Secondary is gonna make or break us

[ftsandersvol]

8-4

I think we lose to Bama, Georgia, A&M, and either Florida or KY.

I'm really excited to see what we put on the field this year, well every year, but this year for sure! I want to see a high scoring offense (28+ a game) and a much improved defense (<21 a game).
It won't be long!

Whatcha got?

First preseason since I was a kid that I am so fired up and optimistic.

 

[posivol]

unfriggin defeated....rocket man gonna ball out.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

40+ a game on offense.

22 or less a game allowed by the defense.

10-2 regular season is most likely; 11-1 is second-most likely outcome. If the latter, we're in Atlanta and then maybe, just maybe, the CFP.

Go Vols!

I feel like the start of the season will never get here---again!

This all day. JM is going to light it up, the defense will most definitely be much improved and once again, all eyes will be on Knoxville. As it should be.

 

[Volfan1000]

10-2 with losses to Georgia and at Alabama in a close one.

A nice bowl bid to cap off this season.

Don’t see Bama. Weak at QB in a new offense.

 

[Sara Clark]

I can't venture to guess. For me, I'm thinking it all depends on QB play.

How good is Bama's O-line this year?

Saban could run his goal line jumbo package the whole game if that's what it took to secure a couple of early wins until his QB got dialed in. Four yards and a cloud of crumb-rubber infill...

And as we’ve found, that ain’t enough against the teams with better QBs. Mebbe they found a replacement for Tyler Steen…the OT they needed to transfer from Vanderbilt. I don’t doubt he could win 8-10 games, but he didn’t beat us with the top pick in the draft running the show.

 

[LittleVol]

People thinking we lose to Alabama aren't paying attention. They are trending downward and have been for 2 years now.

UGA is still the problem.

11-1 with a playoff birth
