We've played 9 games

Ha. You are correct.

We should be 5-4 finishing 8-4 with a chance at the SEC.

 

[whitw]

What do you guys think of our % chances of winning the remaining games?

Kentucky 70%

Mizzou 55% (maybe up to 60% if we beat KY)

Vandy 95% ( if we beat ky and Mizzou, then maybe up to 97%)

Edit: debated going with 75% for ky.

I would up Mizzou to around 70%. That team isn't that good. They do have a very legit d-line though. I think we have found our answer to a good front 4 in Mr. Dobbs.

Anyone have the full game replay online? My dvr stop recording at the beginning of the 4th and would love to see how the final quarter and OT played out on TV.

It will be re airing at 5:00 am est Monday morning on SECN and at 1:00 am est Wednesday morning also on SECN

If you would like to dvr the entire game :hi:

My earlier projections were about the same, I think. I had the Mizzou game at 45%, before Dobbs began to play. I want to think we win out, but I need to look into Mizzou a bit more before I call that one a win.

 

[csprig9]

depending on how the next 3 games go, is it a possibility ut is the fav to win the east next year and a preseason 20-25 team.....i think so. whats ur guys thoughts on that???

I'm not going to break it down, because I'll do that for the pre-game thread when the time comes, but Mizzou really is not good on offense at all. Here are their points scored against teams with a pulse.

Indiana 27 (L)
USCe 21 (we just saw that USCe defense)
UGA 0
FL 42 (1 offensive TD, 119 yards of offense)
Vandy 24
KY 21

I'm not saying they are the worst 5-2 team in the nation, but they have not been overwhelming... AT ALL.

That defense is stout though. Cupcakes make it look better than it is.

Missouri might. But to call it a sure loss at this point is a step off of the edge of insanity.

I am a little more confident about the Mizzou game. I think being AJs and the seniors last ever game in Neyland that Butch will have em pumped. Got a feeling that will be our Smokey Grey game. Bowl game clincher, against East leader. Will be a big game.

Missouri lost to Indiana.

Keep this in mind

Missouri's defense is decent but their Offense is terrible. South Carolina held them to no points on 10 straight possessions. We shredded that D. They won't be able to keep up with us.

 

[85SugarVol]

Losing to UF this year was awful, no doubt, but I really think we can beat them next year with Dobbs at the helm. He's going to be an absolute beast next year, and I don't think UF will be that improved.

Plus, ALL our receivers and RBs (excluding Lane) return, and we add Preston Williams and Alvin Kamara. I'm officially no longer worried about the offense.

O-Line???? :ermm:

We win out

Oh yea. Forgot. From now on instead of defending against the doubters I will just Bump. What was I thinking.

Mizzou sucks dude

He was always my favorite on ATH. Like him even more now!

:good!:

It will be average next year. Dobbs makes it better.

 

[Vol knight]

It will be better next year.

Fyp. :hi:

Flip percentages on Kentucky and Mizzou and I agree.

Mizzou's offense is trash. Maty Mauk is terrible and his receivers are not helping him at all. A loud Neyland will only make it worse. The only thing on that team that scares me is their DEs. Golden and Ray are outstanding talents. Dobbs legs will be a huge asset that game.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

The last two games Dobbs has played, he is a combined 33 of 55 for 391 yards, 4 TDs and 2 Ints. Also has 26 carries for 127 yards and a TD.

Now through Dobbs' last 3 games, Kentucky, Alabama and South Carolina, he is:

56 of 95 for 692 yards 6 TDs and 3 Ints. Also has 50 carries for 283 yards and 4 TDs.

Just for fun, multiply those numbers by 4, and you get a taste of what a full 12 game season could be like with a healthy Dobbs at QB:

224 of 380 for 2,768 yards, 24 TDs and 12 Ints, plus 200 carries for 1,132 yards and 16 TDs. Those would be all SEC type numbers.

Must cut down his carries a bit to try and keep him healthy. Also would like to see his accuracy improve a smidge. The future is bright -- this kid could really be special for us.

Just now watching the CBJ show...mainly to see the new studio.


Good grief, looks like UT got their money's worth. Impressive place.

Yeah, it's nice! They need to work out the audio kinks though. It sounded like a conversation in a long concrete tunnel, lots of echo.
