If You Believe In Trap Games ...

Okay, this is my 500th post, so I wanted to make it a good one. So, here goes ...

We all know that our schedule this year is absolutely brutal, so I'm not going to restate the obvious. My son and I both have the fever as the season is approaching, so we were just talking football, you know how it is. So we got curious as to where we fell on other people's schedule. If you believe in trap games, you'll find this interesting, as we (a potentially dangerous team for most anybody) fall in some interesting places for a few teams.

Florida
9/20 @ Alabama
open
10/4 @ UT
10/11 LSU

South Carolina
10/25 @ Auburn
11/1 UT
open
11/15 @ Florida

Mississippi
10/11 @ A&M
10/18 UT
10/25 @ LSU

Alabama
10/18 A&M
10/25 @ UT
open
11/8 @ LSU

I said all that to say this: teams may have gotten used to looking at their schedule and chalking us up as an automatic "W." It seems possible to me, that, these teams have (what could be viewed as) big games before and after they play us. Wonder if we catch anybody looking behind or ahead? After all, it happens.

What think ye?


(Sorry for the long post and if this has already been discussed.)

Agree with you 100%. I think for these reasons you have mentioned and people give some of our opponents too much hype we win 7 regular season games. That is if our starting qb stays healthy in Worley. The guy did beat SC junior last year.

Shaw was the engine that moved USCjr, I just don't think the backup is going to have the grittiness to over come adversity that early in the season, with the loss of the D-Lineman, those guys you just don't replace...I call our QB even with theirs

Dylan Thompson throws it better than Connor Shaw ever did.

The only true "trap game" is the Ole Miss game. The other games have a bye week either immediately before or after the Vols.
