Man anyone that plays offense is gonna pick on #4...Just hoping 1 or 2 of the younger guys or transfers just someone anyone can step up to the plate.I hate to just pile on one player but he gets the burnt toast treatment on a regular and any good qb/Oc coach is gonna eat him alive.

The site is still called Volquest. Brent Hubbs owns that site. It was part of rivals. It’s now part of On3.

Rivals has a new site covering UT sports called Volreport.

Yep…Hubbs was part of Alliance moons ago when I was in school before going to Rivals. Hubbs really had a vision when he started it.

The other two were opinions, of which only one was wrong. Every league rests players strategically for the end goal. NBA, NFL, MLB, all of them. I don’t think that was a hot take. But Florida is our daddy. It’s verifiable. 4-18 against them in the new millennium kind of proves it.

Almost all Daddys get dunked on at some point.

So we've been watching Picard on the Smart Tv we got post-TV smash/fall. A friend of my parents (also a huge Vol fan bc that's just who we are) had an extra Smart TV he wasn't using so we were not only able to watch the Vols play but we've been able to hook up services like Prime and Disney+. We've been watching a lot of his shows on the big screen which has been just a wonderful experience (I really didn't expect to enjoy this so much as before I rarely watched tv if it wasn't a Vol sporting event but I am absolutely loving all the things you can do with a Smart TV).

Last night, we started watching Picard and had a blast. We met when DS9 was in its final season and at that time the tv I had in my apartment picked up a station that broadcast the show a day before the Knoxville station did so we would all pile in and watch the show a day early. It brought back a lot of happy memories but one thing it did that surprised me is that it helped him cognitively. He struggles when his levels are off, especially with finding the right words for what he means to say, and not only have his levels been off but he's had that recent bout with pneumonia that he is still getting over but watching Picard suddenly the things that illness had blocked off in his brain were unlocked and he was back 100 percent instead of 95 or less (and usually 95 percent is something that is good enough to make me happy).

To put it into perspective, he'd awoken that morning thinking relatives who are long gone were still with us and downstairs and that construction was going on (it wasn't). But watching Picard, he's suddenly accessing memories and knowledge that he hasn't been able to access regularly since this illness began. It was genuinely just a really joy filled experience that I never would've expected from something as simple as watching a TV show.

At any rate, I don't always have happy updates with everything going on so I thought I would share some positive/happy news with everyone. :D

Each day is a blessing and I am very happy for you and yours.

Realistically we only need the defense to get a couple of early stops against UF and hold them anywhere from 3 - 10 points in the first half.....definitely won't be easy but I think we can do it. If we do that then I'm confident that our offense can put up 21 - 28 points in in the half and UF will have to mostly change their game plan. A strong performance by the front 6 and a combination of nickel/safety will be crucial in the first half. If we can make them play from behind then we mostly negate their strength.

Our OL worries me, though. They probably won't open a lot of running lanes and will give up some sacks but we have the QB and WRs to still do damage and Hendon running effectively and avoiding big hits is going to be another key.

We will know a lot more after Pitt....if we can't get some yards on the ground and give up sacks then that doesn't bode well against UF. I still think we win by 10 or 13. Our defense should be faster and stronger than Utah's and Richardson has yet to have multiple consistent performances in college. Napier is coaching smart by letting him be the aggressor but it won't last when they play fast and physical defenses.

History shows!..a good mobile QB destroys this defense..any defense really. I’m holding off the fact we didn’t get any pressure on Ball st QB just because I think our defensive game plan was vanilla in not showing much but doing just enough…last year we had issues getting pressure on a QB and a mobile QB was the dagger!…(ole miss) but was still a winnable game..I think JH just out scores Florida and runs the score up on them as he should.
