We have a very favoravle schedule next year with away games at Florida and Alabama (both teams will be down next year). Our non conference schedule is pretty easy. This should set up a huge game against Georgia on November 18th. Will be biggest game of the year!

The team will have some holes to fill next year and the defense will need to improve for us to make a run to Atlanta. Road games at Florida are never easy, no matter how bad UF appeared to be this year. Then there's that road game at Bryant Denny.

As much as you hate Alabama they’re not having the same kind of season next year. Expecting Tennessee to not miss a beat is a recipe for disappointment.

The kid from TN has a great chance to start at Bama next year. The Milroe kid is a bit of a project.

If Milton continues to develop then absolutely. Our OOC games are pretty cake tbh. @bama is a big one and so is Georgia coming to neyland with a new starting qb. A lot could happen.

Both of them will be starting new QB’s, but I think UGA will be the toughest out on the schedule, even-though the game is in Neyland. Their defense will be the biggest test in Milton’s career. He performed well against Clemson’s, but there’s some things he has to improve on if we don’t want to skip a beat on offense next season. Saban better make some coordinator changes, or the gumps could be looking at a mediocre season next year.

I hope you are right. That being said as to Bama and Fla being down, when you finish 11 and 2 that makes me believe finishing better next year will be a whole lot tougher than finishing "down" some....

As per usual, if making it to Atlanta is the goal, then we have to be physically good enough to beat Florida, Alabama and Georgia (all on our schedule yearly). And of course that would mean we are national title ready. The schedule itself is not a big deal. The Tennessee Volunteer roster is far more important in my opinion. Are we there yet?

It’s all going to come down to how well we do up front on both sides of the ball.. That’s one area we need to step up in if we are going to continue this level of play, especially with what I expect to be a step back at the qb position.. if we can get some great play on the dline, physical play, getting after the qb, and continuing to stop the run. We can afford some mistakes on offense, and mask some mistakes on that side.

I am expecting a slightly less successful year at 9-3

Same. We have to go to Tuscaloosa, Gainesville, Lexington, and Columbia. Georgia will be a tall task, even at home. Texas A&M will be no walk in the park either. I'm not quite sure how the OP thinks the schedule is favorable. I would not at all be shocked at a 9-3 or even 8-4 type of season.

Bama will not have a down year next year, this year was their down year.

I have read other articles saying that Bama will most likely have the greatest recruiting year in history.

IMO the ceiling for UT is 10-2 until we can recruit in top 5. We better hope Shane Beamer was just an anomaly this year.

Bama will reload and won’t be down. Beating them is Bryant Denny is gonna be really tough. The Georgia game? Another automatic loss. Hopefully we are more competitive this year.

Agree if

1. The bowl game Joe Milton is the real deal. He's improved since stepping on campus. Looked poised and showed touch on his throws in the bowl game and against Vandy. Feel pretty good that he's turned the corner.

2. Improvement from the DB's. No where to go but up. Hopefully, some new players will give better results.
