37-10 Dawgs. I don’t see our offense being able to move the ball. Their offense is sound and their qb is efficient against the blitz and zone coverage. Our LBs are young and will be out of position.

I hope I’m wrong, but I think this team is down rt now and some are ready for the season to end. It reminds me a bit like 1992 when we lost three straight. One of our lineman (Stone) was in my political science class and said he was ready for the season to end since their goal of SEC East champs was a memory.

Vols were co-champs in 89 and outright champs in 90. 2023 Vols in a tad different spot than the 92 team.

I do believe point 11 &12 are correct and always have been. Athens, according to a GT buddy at work, is known as the states largest trailer park. And of course everyone knows Tennessee is a far better state than Georgia in every way imaginable.

Honestly i dont care if we win or not Saturday, I just want to see something that will make us feel good, I want to see us be competitive and not just roll over. Hopefully we get a fair whistle as well. But as long as we are competitive and play with effort then there is really nothing else you can ask for in a game like this

I made the 10 hour drive. This is my first time back to Knoxville in well over a decade. I can’t wait for the game. My biggest question is where to tailgate and what time to get to the stadium. I absolutely want to see the Vol Walk. What else is a must? I’m pretty sure I’m going to book an Uber to drive us there so we don’t have to deal with parking. Thinking about getting there around 11. Is that too late? Are there any tailgates we can join and pay for a plate of food or drinks?

Join the vol club at the $25 lefel and you can take part in their free tailgate. It’s worth it.

Thanks for sharing. His answers are similar to what he says now. It’s concerning to hear that he his team had penalty issues at UCF. I agree with Doug Matthews in that most penalties are Coach related as it relates to holding, false starts, etc. Time will tell.

My take away is that some of the struggles with the penalties has to fall on Heupel because it's the norm with his teams. Maybe the refs just don't like Heupel and they're singling his team out for persecution, but I think it's far more logical to think that the Heupel coaching staff just isn't that concerned with penalties. If they were, they'd make it a focus and demand some discipline from this team. Know folks want to think that Heupel is the next Spurrier, but I think he's just Josh Heupel. He is who and what he is. The very things that are driving us nuts are exactly the things that UCF fans were complaining about when he was the coach there. It's been pointed out before, but there were a number of UCF fans who weren't the least bit upset when Heupel left. From a 4 play playbook to a crappy defense to penalties to showing up unmotivated over and over again to winning with the previous coach's player to lack of focus/discipline.. This is who Heupel was. Maybe he grows and adapts to the new waters he swimming in, but then again, maybe not? Regardless, when we have the weapons, the product will be fun to watch. It's gonna give defensive coordinators a lot of sleepless nights prepping for us. And on a rare occasion, we'll crash the party and make UGA/bama sweat in the SEC. We'll be the last team anyone in the playoffs will want to face because they don't face an offense like ours enough to be comfortable with it. But the next Spurrier, nah.

Why dont we chill on the Heup criticisms?

His staff is what it is. Get recruiting better and we are on an upward trajectory.

Hopefully he will make some changed if he feels compelled. Honestly, Im completely fine if Willie Mo stays. Same for Banks, despite some searing takes on my behalf.

Theyve got a solid class. But, gotta get great.

Best part is we are already on an upward trajectory!

In the 10 season prior to Heup, Vols were 60-62 with 4 winning seasons. Since Heup took over 25-11 in 3 seasons. 3 winning seasons.
