It's injuries.

The starters on this offense can light it up. If they can stay healthy, we may be looking at 48 ppg. Even if the D is still a year away, we aren't losing at 48 ppg. Bama is regressing and we get uga at home. If healthy, I think we win both of those.

Heup will have this team looking like a cat playing with a mouse for the rest of our schedule.

Avoid injuries and we are in the CFP.

A little pre-season drinking? We are gonna be good if Joe light's it up this season but we are still at a deficit in talent to both GA and Bama, that is a fact jack. It does not mean we cannot beat them it just means the road is much harder.

Agreed. Doesn’t mean we can’t beat them - we just have to play great games. And if they have an off day - which happens in every sport - it helps. We’ll know more in about three months. Go Vols.

IMHO, they have more of the right kinds of guys to fill in the OL even with some injuries. In fact, I like the depth everywhere on O. If Milton plays to potential then it will be another great O.

I think the D will take a step forward this year and then maybe take a step back after losing a ton of experience. This is the year for the D. If not, it will be a year or two before the 23 and 24 classes make their mark.

I don't think Bama is going anywhere unless Saban decides his $17 million FL mansion is just too cozy. He's 71 so he may be having some thoughts. I wouldn't want that grind at that age. They're going to be good this year. UT can still beat them. But they're not regressing as much as a few programs including UT have come up to challenge.

I think UT can beat UGA at home if Milton plays well. But Milton has to play well and he needs the OL to protect him.

Gotta remember these are kids and it doesn't take much to get them off track and unfocused (See SC game). Going 10-2 again would be great and even that requires a lot of huge wins to accomplish it. What we have going for us is we have a senior laden team in the two deep and good leadership so that will help keep us on track.

See, we’ve had to do the whole “let’s not get our hopes up” thing for fifteen freaking years. I’m done with that ish; this team and staff have actually given us reason to believe again. We’re going 15-0 until we ain’t, GBO, wgwtfa!

Bama and UGA IS our greatest opponents...healthy or not. Bank on it.
As far as we have come, I've not stopped being nervous playing the likes of: USCe, Gata's, or Aggies yet!

Well, if we’re not healthy, we’re not beating bama or uga.

Good news on the other 3:
Usce is a revenge game at home
Uf is missing talent at all the most important places. Really, they suck.
A&M who knows with their culture issues? They have talent, but don’t know how to win.
