As evidenced by the Arkansas game.

And Georgia being a whole different animal @ home.

As evidenced by the Arkansas game.

The Vols have improved after taking that loss against arky.

If our Oline does a better job than it did in Fayetteville, we’ll be fine. Kirby has the same plan as he did with hooker; DBs will do whatever they need to up to drawing PI flags early to be able to get pressure and hit Nico to see how he handles it.

Steady dose of Sampson (duh) and throwing it deep to hit a big play or draw PI. I do think we see more creativity than last week. Maybe they go back to throwing to the TEs like they did against Kentucky.

I’m hoping to see Nico throw more contested deep balls like he did with Thornton last week on the 73 yard TD. Let our big receivers fight for it a little.

I think the key is consistency. GA is a better team than ARK, but GA has shown signs of inconsistent play and Beck can throw an INT if not careful. Look at the TN-ARK stats. ARK played a consistent game with no turnovers. If GA plays inconsistent and we win the turnover margin, we have a good shot at beating them. However, if they play a solid, consistent game they'll beat us. Just my opinion.

I agree but we have the RS freshman QB who has not proven anything on the road as of yet. This is a chance for Nico to obtain legendary status or just be another freshman.

Take the over if there is a bet out there for corner blitzed from uga.

I bet Nico sees at least 5

If they do and are successful with a few catches, TN wins

In 2022 Kirby admitted that he was watching UT film for 3 weeks in advance. I qoould hope that with BYE/ KY and Miss State that Heupel has had a chance to look ahead.

I will state that John Campbell and Lance Heard tend to be playing better, making less penalties, etc. I really loved Heard going over and celebrating with Nico after that 4th down TD pass last week.

 

[DaddyChad]

Here’s an annoying stat about Georgia, they havent lost at home in a little more than five years. Last loss was in 2019 to South Carolina.

Maybe we pick it up…Moore did a nice job picking it up against MS and the TE also did a nice job picking it up

 

[BowlBrother85]

We have to get some turnovers to have a chance .... but that's very possible.

Heard had the highest PFF score for the MSU game. That's a good sign.

 

[n_huffhines]

Nico has missed deep balls at home and on the road. Take away the missed deep balls, and he played well against Arkansas. A bunch of things went wrong that day. Hard to get in a rhythm when drives are getting killed by drops, penalties, and poor pass protection.

He doesn't seem to get rattled by the crowd. If we protect him, he won't get rattled. He makes the right reads. Just hit the deep balls and we're good at QB.

Don't know if I should like your comment or not!!!. Guess facts are facts haha..That's a dose of reality I wasn't aware of GULP. Well that's why pencils come with erasers.

Thumbs up for the education. You Da Man!

Which has no bearing on the Georgia game

How so? Enjoying road games more doesn't have any bearing on the outcome of that one game.

 

[agent|orange]

... we also haven't played on the road since then either.

He already has. Not many young qbs beat Bama Fl or OK their first year. Despite what pct they are responsible for. We do not beat Bama without Nico and him making plays. Simple as that

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Last time he said that, we lost to Ark.

Well to be fair to Nico this was before he played in the sec . I’m sure he regrets saying this now.
