He sure hasn't. I expect that Kiffin might come out conservative for the first few series to let him settle into the game.

No, Kiffin will draw up a bomb vs. one of our CBs very early, hoping to go up 7-0 & silence the crowd. They did that in 2014 game IIRC.

Come on guys. Some of y'all are sounding about as weak as Greg Sankey on here.

Vols win. Just got that kind of feel.

Took seven turnovers (two of which were inside the 5 going in to score) , at least 2-3 free short fields for the opponent, a defense halfway or more made up of backups, and two OTs to get beat on the road against a top 10 team.

Bama's losing his one in Neyland. Let's get it.

Stadium will be rocking, players will be ready from the jump. WR's catch the ball early and often, Vols win the TO battle and WGWTFA.

I'm seeing another barn burner, at least if we want to stay in the game.

45-41 Vols.

Nothing more than a gut feeling, but I think we put a full game together, a end another losing streak! This team is hungry and doesn't know the word quit.

I admit that I'm not overly confident that our defense can put the brakes on that offense. If we were healthy? Yeah, bring it. But we're starting Moseley and Foreman on the outside, Gaulden and Abernathy are both dinged up, and I'll be pretty surprised if McDowell and O'Brien play. These guys are fighters, but how much do they have in the tank at this point? I think we need Kirkland to come back strong, TK to have the best game of his career, and the DL to have their best game of the season. I'm hoping that a few shots from Barnett will make Hurts play like a freshman.

On offense, I'd ease Hurd back into things, honestly. "Battering ram with a concussion" just seems like an innately bad combination, and I'd be okay with limiting his snaps in this one to get him healthy for the back half of the season. And we can live with that, because Kamara will WANT this game.

Dobbs has had success against their defense in the past. Kamara just showed against A&M that he has another level when he's pissed off. And Jennings might be the angriest WR I've ever seen. These guys are your playmakers. And I'd love to see another step forward from Byrd. He's a freshman and he doesn't always know where he's supposed to go, but he's very talented. There's a lot of fight in that dog.

Malone, Croom, Wolf... this is the game, guys. Man up or sit down. No bad drops, fight for everything. Malone looked like he was turning a corner in the first four games of the season, but he was quiet against Georgia and he had a terrible game against A&M. Croom needs to play big and go get the ball. And I've been very disappointed with Wolf as a passcatcher this year. Also, if Preston feels like being the difference-maker we thought we were getting this summer, I certainly won't complain.

Most of all, NO TURNOVERS. Take care of the ball.

My gut tells me that we've lost a little bit too much on defense, but I'm not willing to predict a loss. So go WTFA and then let the world wonder how it happened.

If everyone is back from injury, except Cam and JRM, and we play a complete game with no turnovers, then I think we win bigger than this. Double digits.

Nama is averaging 44.8 ppg, on pace to beat the SEC record held by 2008 Florida

They have not played their toughest games yet, beginning Saturday

Can you find out how many PPG they are averaging from non-offensive TDs? That's the key stat to see how potent their offense is.

We realize that we are supposed to hang on to the ball this week. And Butch plays both Hurd & AK to a lethal dose.

We come out and punch em in the throat.

35-24 Vols.

Sets up a rematch for A&M in the SECCG.

Road to Tampa is still alive!

If Bama plays a clean game against A&M, Bama will curb stomp them.

We damn near beat them with 7 turnovers.

Send message early.

Put Nigel in to destroy somebody.

Bad enough to get kicked out again.

I mean real bad.

Bad enough we question Butch's morality.

I'll tell you one thing, somebody better tuck in that rope of a shirt tail Dobbs had hanging out in the A&M game. Those guys were hanging on that thing all night.

I just don't understand how you all don't realize how talented this team is.

We were a year younger last year and were never outplayed by anyone. We had (big) leads on all the top teams we faced and we lead Bama with 4 minutes to go.

This year we have outplayed EVERYONE. And come back from huge deficits.m (self inflicted or not)

There isn't a Team in America who can just out talent us. those days are done
