I wouldn't be surprised if we see Pearson this weekend. Smith is probably out until Ole Miss or Bama

Even though we are probably better than Fla and should win....I still am nervous we will do something to lose..I guess losing not 9 straight will do that lol

Thought we should go ahead and get this one started.Here are a couple things I hope the team works on in practice this week:

1. Play calling- this one is more about the coaches but we have to adjust to what is working. Yesterday in the Georgia game the middle of the field was open for 8-15 yards at almost any given time. We need some slants or crossing routes or something

2. Feed North, Hurd, and very hopefully Pearson. These are our 3 best offensive skill players. We need them to have the ball as often as possible.

3. Sustain drives- Our poor defense did all they could but the third quarter they were out there almost the whole quarter.

4. Protect Worley- I don't know how, but we have to do something. This team lives and dies with Worley this year. Without him we are at best maybe 5-7. With him we can be 8-4.

This is really all I have this week. Can't wait to see the vols whip dat gator @$$ this weekend!!! LETS GO VOLS!! #GBO

Ball security my friend. We lost mainly because we gave them 14 very easy points. Points they never earned we gave to them. Ball security. Neyland Maxiums.

Something that is very important to this game is that TN starts hot early like we did against UGA.

UF isn't a great passing team and are not going to be able to run as well as UGA either. So if we get an early 10-14 point lead, get the crowd going nuts and force Driskall to force some throws it could be a great day.

Also UF is a weak minded broken team right now, they'll be content to just quit and get it over with....but if we let them get up early that Gator swag will start to creep back in and the nervous jitters in the crowd could spill over into our young team.

First 10 minutes are important.

No doubt.

No other fanbase should know better what a fragile, disinterested team looks like.

Putting the pressure on Florida early would be HUGE.

A pick, sack/fumble, or something similar could go a long way. If Muschamp pulls Driskel, giving Harris trouble early would also be very important.

Get them grumbling early and often.

I'm struggling because I wanna feel confident and excited that we are going to win. And part of me does feel like that. But the other part of me feels like the Fulmer curse will kick in, and we will lose somehow. Maybe something like Worley gets hurt early. So then we have a big string of three and outs. Our defense wears down. And their ground and pound gets enough production to win a low-scoring game. Sickening.

I hate thinking like this. I feel like we should win. But we have had worse luck than any other team it seems the last 5 years or so. Like fluke bad luck.

Has J.Tabor been getting any playing time? He was one of the recruits that I wanted last year.

Yeah. Played a lot vs EMU & KY. Came in for VH3 after second trip to side line. Talk he'll start at CB vs UT and Poole will move back to NB.

This is a trend that needs to stop. The better teams tend to get the calls but Florida is not better than us. Dave Hart needs to be on the UT plane this week giving Slive the colon foot up colon. Butch seems to be doing his part on the sidelines.

Been loving it. Hope they are following up with SEC office afterwards. If they are going to mess with our guys, make them know that you know they are corrupt.
