I’m afraid this coming up football season could be a long one. By no means do I think we are bad but the Nico thing is gonna hurt us for sure. No way would we ever want to swap him for that UCLA/App State guy. I do think Nico’s family kinda runs the show but let’s not forget that the offense we were running last year wasn’t the typical Heupel that we know. Maybe he didn’t trust Nico and I mean we made the playoffs so not a terrible decision but we didn’t air that thing out like we are used to. That Oklahoma game for example had us all wondering why we are just playing not to lose when our defense basically won us the game. We took our foot off the gas pedal wayyy too much and I would rather us get out there and air it out. Back when we had Palmer, Jennings, Callaway it always amazed me we didn’t just give them a chance at a jump ball more because they more than not always came down with it. And you have the chance of a PI call. We now don’t have near as much talent but I think Matthews is that guy too so let’s see if we open it up. I’m scared our coach will just run and have them same little passes and screens. I’m thinking about 7 or 8 wins but when Faizon gets here it’s game on and we can get a natty. If he doesn’t watch this season and be like why am I going here

YEP we better fold up the tent and go home, can't compete -it's over. I think I'll just drink beer and play golf this fall. Tennessee football is dead-

BAWHAHAHAHAHA Chicken Little post, LBK you might get roasted for this post. Hilarious - Vols 10-2 / 9-3.

When did I say to just pack it up? I’m gonna drink beer and watch just like all of you. You can roast me for being realistic but 10-2 ain’t happening my guy

We went 10-2 last season with an accomplished running game and a strong defense. QB play did not win us a single game (outside of possibly the 2nd half of the Bama game). We have a shot at 10 wins this next season with the same approach. QB play may actually be a little better. No need being a chicken-little.

Edit: Add the Vandy game as a game that QB play won it for us.

Oh and just looking at your posts I’m afraid to say idk if I would listen to you. Calling Saban a mediocre coach is ridiculous and seems you were wrong on a lot of basketball my friend

Dylan Sampson and our Defense took us to the playoffs last year. We had an average to below average QB that didn't turn the all over a bunch but did take a bunch of sacks and missed lots of open long balls that easily could have been touchdowns. No reason to assume we will be worse than last year. You never know until it plays out on the field.

Ok Nostradamus. The fact you even took to post it must mean you need the attention. Useless post and thread, who knows what happens. Use your Magic 8 Ball later vs now.

I agree with this but would’ve liked to see Nico progress, but don’t want a guy that doesn’t want to be here. We missed a lot of long balls for sure but seems like once we did he didn’t try again in certain games. With Hyatt and then we took shots on the regular
