The challenge is that they have the best coach, maybe ever, and he will have a gameplan that is targeted to exploit our weaknesses. They have the most talented players and they can be expected to execute the coaches gameplan. They also have great depth, as we saw last season, and can wear you down late in the game, even if you are playing well early. That is the challenge.

We have a team that is capable of overcoming that challenge. Whether or not they do remains to be seen. But we will have to play our best game of the season.

A play here and there ,that LSU game would be alot closer than that .. We have NO pass defense..I've never seen a secondary this bad . But we are supposed to beat Bama with Saban and a Heisman trophy winner QB. I understand the hope and happiness after all these years but every one ignores this and think we will just run over bama ..

And? A play here or there and 2019 lsu doesn't curb stomp everyone that year
A play here or there means florida might actually be within a galaxy of Nebraska in 1996
That can be applied to literally every game and every sport.

We know that it is still Alabama. We know their roster is stacked with stars. We know that if you looked at this matchup on paper, we are big underdogs. But today, this Third Saturday in October, it’s about heart and taking it to Alabama EVERY. SINGLE. PLAY. with a 102,000 of us cheering the team on to victory. It’s about taking your man one on one and being better than him today. Because guess what, WE DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF ALABAMA.

You will never win if you don't believe you can. Teams that win when many say they will not believe they can. At some point we need to let go of the "we can't" mentality. The Tennessee of old never thought it could not be done.

Dude what? LSU didn’t stand a chance all game. Most of Daniels yards came in garbage time. Seriously can’t stand when some people try to find anything negative to complain about when we won 40-13…..

And today regardless of the outcome we need so desperately to lose the 'we can't' and embrace the 'we can'.

30% would be great odds. You’re saying we beat them 3 times out of 10. This is more like 1 out of 10, but at least we have chance. Something we haven’t had in a long time.

Winning DOESN'T have to be "running over" anybody.

There are a number of worse pass defenses THIS YEAR so far. Just look at an NCAA stat ranking chart🙄.

It's ####### loser talk is all the OP is doing.

Period.

Hoping for the best today but fully expecting a Bama win but that’s ok I’m not going to have a meltdown like some other fans on this board will tonight. We are still miles away from overtaking and competing with Bama and Georgia even losing today we still have a great shot to go 10-2 or 9-3 or 8-4 and we should all be thrilled with that. GBO

You do realize you can say this about every single college football game don’t you? 30 point blowouts could go down to the wire IF you just change the outcome of a couple of plays…. Seriously….

Thank you for this.

Guarantee I didn’t look at ESPN, I don’t and haven’t in years. Don’t care if you believe me or not, I’ve just been following Tennessee football since the late 70s and it’s how I see it. Some of y’all are sure thin skinned.

We’ve eliminated 8-4 from the realm of possibilities. Seems like you refuse to adjust your pre-season expectations.

Thin skinned or no spine..🙄.

You don't even know how these two teams match up on paper! Much less an actual analysis .

Call me thin skinned or whatever you want, but I KNOW we stand a damn good chance to WIN today.

We'll revisit later. Mr. REALITY
