Right now we are playing not to lose.
Very Conservative on Offense..
Play calling not there, not sure what is going on.
I couldn’t agree more. We are definitely playing not to lose. In OT, we actually played to score and win. We didn’t have that attitude the first 4 quarters.

There is no shortage of Nega-Vols on this site today. We beat Florida and have momentum going against a mediocre Alabama team. I say we win!


Vegas seems to be still overreacting to our early season offensive success. Gators +14.5 was a joke line when our offense is struggling like it is.

Bama should probably be at least a -6.5 at this point, all things considered.

With Neyland home field I could see us force Bama into mistakes and win the game. I could also see us get trounced w no offense. We are going to have to play a clean game and run the ball.

He did and the result was great runs negated by holding penalties.

Has any other sec team we played been called for offensive holding ? Or just us ?
Seems we get called for something every time we have a positive play on either side of the ball. Our opponents are the most disciplined /perfect executing teams to exist! They almost never get called.

It is a tall order to scheme to both spy for Milroe and keep a safety to help against Ryan WIlliams. They are both very special players.
USCe and Vandy have shown how to beat them. Bama's blue chippers on the Oline are not winning their one on one battles.

Our D will be tested against them, but I feel they will play good enough for us to win. Can our offense score enough?
I feel like we have to establish the pass in order to run the ball more effectively. Heupel is taking the opposite approach, and we are not establishing either rushing or passing games in the first halves so far against quality opponents.

We'll see, I mean these are 18-22 year old kids so anything can happen but as the SEC becomes more NFL like, these games are going to come down to QB play. Milroe vs Nico, set the line accordingly.

Home team gets 3 points. So neutral field Bama is -4.5. I expect the line to move to -2.5/-3.0 by end of week. Especially after injury report comes out

Both fan bases are low on their teams right now. Still surprised the line isn't -7 for Bama.
