Perfect storm for Butch's first upset of the season?

If I am Richt I sit Bobo down and tell him the offense can't throw the ball until I ok it. Those backs are pretty much only being contained by the OC. USCe game and the first half of the the Clemson game was way too cute from the OC. I would grab the Arkansas playbook and for the rest of the year run that.

Because #FireMarkRicht will let them stay out late and they will still be hung over from the night before???

(can't disagree, just curious as to YOUR reasons)

Their crowd may not show up in great numbers and likely won't be as hype as would be for a night game. Source - common sense

Recall that UGA was without Gurley, their top two WR's, 2 starting DB's, a starting TE and a starting OL. Was Marshall hurt by then? Point being, they were realing from injuries when UT got them.

Yeah and they got a much better QB now....... you forgot that.

Noon KO favors UT to be sure. But regardless of what others say about UGA's past performance(s) after a loss, it favors UGA that they are coming off a loss in which they were favored. Why? Simple, they are getting a ton of shat this week from press and fans alike. Going to put them in a bad mood. UT played fairly well in a game they were a huge underdog in, and will be getting some love and decent press this week.

UGA coaching staff is getting blistered since the SC game for not utilizing their running game more. Expect them to employ a heavy dose of Gurley and co., even though Chubb is out.


This could be a good game, depends on if the UT OL can pass block any. UGA has the ability to send in exotic blitz packages (see Clemson game) where they literally swarm the QB from varios disguise packages. Worley could take another beating, he likely will, UGA is one of the better sack teams in the SEC. If the pass blocking does not hold up, will/can the running game carry the Vols to a victory? I can't see it.

Too much going for the Dawgs IMO. 31-17 Dawgs.:zeitung_lesen:

Well it's a good thing they work all of that frustration out on poor Troy and get us next week after a probable blowout, isn't it?

I am a realist/negative when it comes to my Vols chances against a team that has a better record or is favored by more than a 7.5 points. I know that we will (at least next year) be a 8-4 or 9-3 team and have ALOT of issues to work on mostly the horrid/young OL.

HOWEVER...... I think that we have a really good chance of winning against UGA in a couple of weeks.

1) Our young team knows what to expect going into a hostile environment AND it is at noon (which is tougher to get up for sometimes, especially by the favored team).

2) Oklahoma is better team with better or equal talent to UGA. So they SHOULD be used to speed from WR's and LB's etc....

3) Tennessee will be coming off a bye week and Butch has usually been more prepared for the team coming up and a chance for them to get healthy i.e....Smith and Von and Wolfe.

4) Getting beat is NEVER a good thing, BUT it does have some positives.... Worley and the OL getting beat at the line of scrimmage EVERY play and STILL putting up a fight to #4 team during the end of the game.

5) AWESOME defense with the #3 ranked 3rd down conversion rate at like 37% JRM, A.J. and Maggitt playing crazy and a VERY underrated DL.

I could be completely wrong...........

No, you're right. I've loved all the'want it now at a McDonald's drive thru' fans talking about squeaking out 9 or 10 wins this year. You dont squeak out 9-10 wins after one great class preceeded by 4-5 terrible classes I'm actually impressed with how well they're playing. Unfortunately, it's on to a new QB next year. Hope they are prepared. It may take a while of great classes and depth building for UT to be elite again.

I think our odds of any upset are directly related to how many or few of our currently injured offensive weapons can play by then. I'd give it a 15% increase with each guy. Odds are stacked against us if none of these guys are available.

Von
Wolf
Smith

WOW! Three athletes increase our chances of winning by 45.00% ... NAW! Thats too close to half ... fifty percent. I just don't agree.
