The Official #11 Tennessee vs. #20 Florida Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[I Love Lamp]

Sterling being his usual self

I need to know this man’s secret to having this much energy at his age.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

I agree but he will be 0-2 versus Florida and that is excellent how all the other Vols coaches started since Fulmer was kicked to the curb

And coming from further behind than any other coach since Fulmer.

 

[BearCat204]

If Heupel loses today, how much fan support starts to dwindle for him?

He will lose some, but I really hope he continues to get support. I think he is building something really great here and he is the only coach we have hired in the last decade that I feel should get the time to get the program where we all expect it to be. JMO

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I’ll be really upset, but it won’t cause me to lose faith in Heupel. TN is overachieving at this point. A loss today won’t change that imo.

Depends on how we lose, if we do.


but we wont

 

[Jeff Clark]

so do you guys think 200+ on the ground?

I think we will run well enough on a Florida defense that is horrible against both the run and pass.

I think it will deflate a few fans with all the hype that has surrounded this game. So many fans think the Vols are going to run it up on Florida today, I'll be surprised if the Vols break 30. I could be wrong but Tillman being out is huge.

 

[GhostVol]

Sterling being his usual self

Can't watch that as a Vol fan without a smile on your face.....

 

[vols2345]

How does the loss of Tillman affect the entrance of Squirrel? We have the need for speed!

Hyatt going to show just how good our wr core is today!

This game can go so many ways, I’m not really sure how I feel about it.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

What a question to ask before the game has even started. LOL. You seem preoccupied with negativity.

Just looking at all angles, not being negative, just asking a question

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Think I’m gonna lay of this thread during the game. I love y’all, but for my own mental health, I think it’s best.

C mon

Embrace the insanity

Florida secondary is actually really good, run defense is suspect for sure

 

[GreyWolf1129]

I expect the UF defense to press at the line and force the WR's to find an opening. 7 in the box, and press coverage. You beat that with screens, speed option, and slants.

I'm wrong a lot.

Go Vols.

You cant bail now...this game will define the season.

I've found that Dickel takes care of any nagging sanity questions

 

[Proud Army Wife]

If we had a back on the roster like Evans last season, I’d feel even better about this game.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Guess its time for a B double E double R UN.

What this game means if Tennessee wins 10-2 and if they lose 9-3. It may mean that Tennessee goes to the Sugar,Orange or Citrus Bowls with a 10-2 record and the ReliaQuest or Taxslayer Gator Bowl if they go 9-3.

Not bad but not great.

You seemed worried more then anything imo. Think we all feel every emotion possible before the Florida gm. Just natural vols instinct

its psychoo, pscyhorliga..... its in our head. Gotta exorcise this gridiron cancer known as Florida before we can scale the mountain.

 

[vols2345]

We are going to be ranked so high tomorrow. We are finally back.

True dat

Here's where you can listen to the Tennessee Pregame and the Florida game

vs. Florida

Exactly. We’ve heard “new culture” a lot. Need some evidence of that. A win today would help for sure.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I'm watching a truly putrid display being put on by South Florida vs Louisville right now, and starting to feel a little better. That is a bad team that nearly won in the Swamp a week ago. South Florida had 286 yards rushing. They look like wet garbage on both sides of the ball.
