Vols are better at OL, RB, WR, TE, DL, DB, and LB

Why do you think that they're better at Safety? Their safeties have been getting toasted. It may have to do with their CBs being underwhelming too.

Starks is a dude. Their safeties may not be as consistent as big-game Brooks, but our guys (ie Turrentine) have gotten burned a time or two as well. They have a higher ceiling while we might have a higher floor.

Setting realistic expectations depends on how you answer the big question at QB. How much better is Gas Pipe than Carson Beck?

Moore isn't anywhere close to Beck. Yeah, he's had issues because his weapons suck and he forces stuff. But you saw what he did to Alabama d Texas's D. He's more than capable of putting 300+ yards on us. I really wish it was a home game. We aren't winning in Athens, at night. Just isn't happening. Hope to hell I have to eat crow on Sunday. I absolutely hate Ga and Smart.

Dude. He’s going to be on his ass all night.
Have you seen their O-Line? Honestly? Did you see how bad they got smoked by Ole Miss D ?

We are winning in Athens. I dare say by a coupla’ scores.

Our o-line will have to keep their edge guys at bay or we will struggle. I think we can run the ball against them, but I am not sure we will break any long runs. Need the quick passes to connect for chunk plays. Get the TE involved early in the passing game. I think uga is fairly weak in the middle of the field so that should open up the TE for some nice plays.

With Gaston we likely choke to pressure and lose by 17 , one of those scoreless halftimes, I could see a peterman level performance

With nico it's a 40% victory id say, with performance similar to a good JG game. I'm just a realistic fan who doesn't farm for friends here

The level of disappointment folks are setting themselves up for is approaching legendary status.

YEP, hope you can deal with the disappointment if we go down there and win! So many are way beyond standard BVS and demonstrate it consistently. The condition is magnified by excessive lack of discretion and willingness to deal with it privately. Publicly anticipating doom must be therapeutic with that condition. As well as backslapping like I kind outbursts. OH WELL!!!!!

Carson Beck is light years better than Gaston Moore if playing with the same supporting cast. But since we have some matchups at other positions, we’ll see how it goes.

Most importantly: I want to see how well our offensive line will block their defensive line. That will be the difference in the game. We lost that battle the last couple years and it was the difference maker.

Based on what?

QB is not listed. QB drives this offense. It's not hard to connect the dots. But please continue to think that we're a poverty program.

lol! No one said anything about us being a poverty progeny except you. You think we are superior at all positions except QB…that’s fine. I don’t.

No but I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t play if the rumors of a concussion are true. Let the young man’s brain heal properly. Dr. Google says he needs 7-10 days to fully recover.

Dr google will also tell you saturated fat causes heart disease and raises your cholesterol levels. Both 109% false. TN has a high class medical staff. They won’t clear Nico to play unless he is absolutely ready. They won’t risk his safety.

Keep in mind that Ole Miss leads the nation and has 46 sacks while are ranked 37th with 22. We definitely are great at stuffing the run but not as great with getting pressure and sacking the QB. Hopefully we get enough pressure to make Beck uncomfortable.

Sorry, what did he do to Texas’ defense? They had one long drive that game, the rest of them started on like the Texas 30. Their defense and special teams deserve a lot more credit than Beck does.
