Utah almost lost to a Baylor team that lost to Texas state. They never had any worry of losing to Florida. I was feeling really good about this one. Then Austin Peay happened. Now I'm not sure Tenn wins.

UTSa just beat Texas state. They won’t be easy

You’re thinking about the wrong things. Transitive property never works in football. Florida is slow on defense, they have bad lines on both sides, and their qb is shaky. They have a good RB, LB core can tackle and they have some very good transfers and young guys who didn’t play at Utah. Beating them in the swamp will not be a cake walk, but we have better athletes, better depth and our defense is going to make it hard for them. We need Mays, Beasley, and our receivers to have a healthy prep week. Our DB’s need to get smarter fast, but we are definitely the better team.

I wouldn't touch this line with a ten foot pole. No clue how this one is going to shake out after yesterday's issues.

In my opinion (which is worthless) we can win this game handily if Joe will do one thing he's been reluctant to do: use his legs.

I'm not talking about more called runs, I'm taking about taking what the D gives you.

He consistently passes up on easy opportunities to run (which is often a product of the wide splits in our offense).

I'm also not talking about putting himself in harm's way either....if the Defense is giving you 12 yards with contact and it's 2nd and 6, take the 9 yards and slide.

ESPN FPI after this weekend’s update dropped TN to 22. It has this game as essentially a toss up with a slight favor to TN (55-45). Last year, TN was favored around 85% on game day.

Lol UTSA may not be easy but them beating Texas State gives no indication

Yup. This is one of those weird matchups that seems to have more to do with the teams psyche than talent level. We need to get over the mental hurdle of losing for so long in Gainesville first. I think this is the year, despite what I saw yesterday, but it‘s probably going to be a gut wrenching struggle. Might even require a late comeback. if we win it’ll be close

This is where I'm at. If we pull it off it will be razor close and stressful as hell, as is tradition with the lizards.

Tennessee figures it out next weekend. The play calling has been bland for a for a reason. Tennessee came out thinking the power t would just win the ball game. Heup will have them ready. Only thing that’s really concerning is the chemistry between joe and the receivers is off.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

AP showed the blueprint, it’s all about controlling the clock. I look for Florida to stick to the run and stack the box on defense.

Utah is banged up, Baylor was in desperation mode at home-Fighting for their football lives. (looking ahead to Utah?) TxST still celebrating; almost beat a good UTSA team coming off a disappointing loss. This is not last years TxSt . And It's all about motivation. We saw that last night.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Just goes to show you where UF is right now. They're not saying we're good, they're sayin UF is really bad

 

[Allvols98]

I would take that bet.

Fan Duel obviously doesn’t read VN

Just win baby, win! Gbo!

Classic high motivation team off a loss vs a team celebrating the biggest win in their history. STILL was a close game. TxSt is much improved too.

 

[vols 30]

Its pretty simple for other teams. Stop or slow down the run and make Milton beat you with his arm and decision making

Lucky for us, the defense seems better than last year.

Special teams are very worrisome though

Anything over 3 points; take Florida. This will be a close one. Florida will be looking for respect.

I’m not a sunshine pumper by any means, but we’ll have a totally different team come Saturday. I really do believe that.

We gave up 20+ to UT Martin last season and destroyed Kentucky the very next week. Same concept.

…I hope

Opened at 7. I hope the "Wise Guys" know something.

This is the very thing that concerned me preseason. HH was just so darned good at this and Joe is hesitant to do it.

Vols gotta execute and play a clean game brother.
