I'll admit that when we got Butch I wasn't all in, however after getting over myself and my hatred of all things Florida,I started to see that our offensive skill players actually fit the spread pretty well. I know that Worley played a spread in high school and Peterman looks the part for a running Qb. Pig and or Q. could be our "Percy" style back. Croom could be a very opposing force from the TE position. I hope that Dallas and Bowles can break out this year.

I know that Meyer and Jones don't run the same kind of spread but lets hope that we get the same results.:toast:

No one wants comparisons to Florida. We will be the new Tennessee hopefully, same as the old Tennessee circa 98. Tee Martin could throw, scramble and run a mean QB draw. And our defense in 98 looked like what Florida's defense is going to be next year.(tough)

Thanks for not caring, yet taking time to click on this thread, read the posts, followed by a response to my post...what better way to show how much you don't care.

Getting back on topic, the spread can work in the SEC, and it will be interesting to see what UT can do with a mobile QB, and piece parts like Howard and Young.

meyer won because of tebow---without tebow in 2010, the team sucked and he quit. Hopefully, UT doesn't try to become a finesse spread type team.

We're getting this offense - it's going to happen. If we have a very good QB that can run it, we can cause a lot of damage. However, if we only have an average - or loudy - QB, we're dead meat.

A couple of weeks ago I posted similar thread with the won loss records at very similar schools Meyer at Bowling Green & Utah; Jones at CM and Cincy. Pretty much got blasted for making the comparison while intentionally leaving out Jones' 4-8 start at Cincy. Florida trolls especially took exception to comparison to "Saint" Meyer. Expressing any hope that things will get better or that Jones may in fact know how to coach will get you blasted on here. The concensus on VN is that the Vols suck in football and that they always will and anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. Our only hope was to get Gruden and since we didn't its warm bath and razor blade time.:shakehead:

You got blasted for conveniently leaving out Jones' 4-8 season in your comparison, and rightfully so.

There are a few VFLs here that would take exception to that. But the fact about Florida is this... the further south you go the further north you are, until you hit Cuba.

In one way you are right. Me thinking that I could come here and discuss Tennessee football and actually doing that was fantasy land. I didn't say we would win a champion ship this year. I said we have players that would work in a spread offense.
