What do you REALISTICALLY hope to see this Saturday?

I expect for our offense to struggle and for our D to get worn down in the 2nd half.

We'll lose by 13

Oh, I've had it many times. Although, I'd say nothing like it while drunk otherwise it is pretty cheap food. Good drunk food....lol.

We may not even score. Something like 48-6 is a reasonable expectation. We have very little talent on either side of the ball with the exception of a few lineman and 'backers.

I want to see us rush for more than 250 yards. I want us to have more than 35 minutes time of possession. I want to see us commit zero turnovers and be close to zero penalties. I want solid special teams play and not give the Ducks a short field. I want our DL to control the line and shut down their first down runs (average less than 3 yards on first down runs) so we can get them off the field. Stanford’s success was (in my opinion) due to getting in several 3 and outs…you get them off the field then have a nice, slow 5 or 6 minute drive for a score and it screws up their whole approach…

Maggitt and Smith back healthy

Some semblance of chemistry between Worley and the young receivers

Physically beating them at the LOS

Coaching adjustments and a little creativity in a game that will require both in order to stay competitive

A defensive scheme that keeps their playmakers in front of us

Better tackling

Continued performance from Palardy, the most improved player on the team, thus far

I hope to a reality check on this board. Some of you are setting yourselves up for a major letdown.

I don't really see any Vols calling for a win this Saturday. Just folks hoping for a somewhat competitive game. No need to come here acting like a jackass.

Run the ball,run the ball, run the freaking ball down the throats. Beat them down until they can't take anymore. I want to see UT playing so hard they all earn # 63 on their helmets. I want us to play so good that the only fans you hear are UT FANS!!!!!!

This is the single greatest key to maximizing our chances of success against Oregon. Pound on them with our offensive line and running game, and then pound on them some more. To the extent that it is possible, this strategy should be used to minimize Oregon's number of possessions. I know that Butch likes to run an uptempo offense but I hope that he will modify that somewhat this week by going no huddle and bleeding the clock at the line of scrimmage. Trying to match Oregon tempo for offensive tempo is a recipe for disaster.

It will be very interesting to see if our guys can play with the same poise and discipline that they have shown thus far, given the fact that Autzen is a challenging environment, indeed. We simply cannot afford to come out of the proverbial chute slowly this week. Falling behind early would put us in the most vulnerable position possible, given our youth and inexperience at quarterback and wide receiver. It will be interesting to see what kind of game plan Butch and Mike Bajakian come up with to put Justin Worley in the best possible position to have success with the short and intermediate passing game.

You spend your Sundays being a Mountain Man? Do you have wi-fi in your mountain abode? Do you hike through the wind, snow, rain, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanos, and anything else Mother Nature can throw your way while trolling Volnation? Do you use smoke signals to communicate to your buddies so that they can post your troll messages on our site?

You have spent the ENTIRE day today on our site. Today is Sunday (just thought I might inform you. Sometimes you can lose track of time being out in the wilderness, away from the hustle and bustle of civilization.)

Do you fight off bears, wolves, eagles, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, bengal tigers, great white sharks, snipes, Bigfoots (or is it Bigfeet?), Yetis, wolverines, orca whales, and angry giraffs in between responding to those on VN who have taken your troll bait?

Do you post on our site during your breaks between checking your traps, building your shelter, harvesting your crops, climbing sheer cliff-faces, perfecting your tracking techniques, solving mysteries, sewing your wounds, and catching salmon?

You are quite the Mountain Man, indeed. Seeing how we don't have any mountains, farms, wild game, wilderness, rivers and lakes, country folk, guns, knives, trucks, acreage, or coon dogs here in TN, we are all in admiration of you and your manly way of life. If only we had people in our state like you, maybe we could be atop the Pac-12. Maybe we could have fancy uniforms, amazing coffee, skinny jeans, literature, lamenated play-calling picture cards, and all those other manly, country Oregonian things.

You sure are an inspiration to us all.

But seriously. Sunday you will be here gloating all day if you win. You will be on your next opponent's site ALL DAY if you lose. There will be no mountain climbing. You will have perfect cell phone reception. And we will be looking forward to our game with our first real football team, Florida.

Compete...that's all I ask. I'm afraid with our lack of depth they will own the 4th quarter and get a couple cheap TD's. I'm hoping that after 3 that we are still in it and it's anybody's game at that point.

Name calling....who is starting stuff here? Sounds like you....

I've seen a handful. One is too many. New coach, new schemes, and on the road against a team you've seen before but is now better. Hmmmm.

My parents went to UT, so did my wife and I. My 2 yr old can already sing Rocky Top. I love the Vols and it hurts to see us be so bad for so long. I do believe we are on the path to being back where we want to be....
But I am a realist and always have been. I don't think anyone could realistically disagree that we have 0% chance of winning this game. In no way does that make me a Ducks fan.

Jeremiah Johnson in skinny jeans, I'm tellin' ya. You can see his pimply faced 18 year old hipster doofus a$$ on "Portlandia" any day now, riding his fixed gear bicycle in a blizzard (which, btw, we don't HAVE in Oregon).

I was laughing til I read Florida, the real team. Yes, there is good football outside the SEC. Florida looks weak and just lost a game they shouldn't have. You that rustled up you gotta lie for the gators? I mean, self respect please. How can they be real with a loss in week two?

I think you can beat Florida.

BTW, it hasn't been all day I've been besting you. I picked a bunch of mushrooms after the seahawks game. I then chopped, sauteed, and vacuum packed em.

Don't forget, bows, elk, the largest national forest east of the MS river, mtn biking, and so much moonshine we could float a battleship. Good post and i have backpacked for over 30 years through all kinds of wilderness and nastiness and me and my friends are far from badasses. GBO!
