-UT will be licking their chops to take out years of frustration out on us and to avenge that ugly loss at Arkansas.

-We should win this one. They don’t have a Hendon Hooker to bail them out anymore.

-Tennessee doesn’t have any momentum at all, if we don’t win this game, we are failures.

-This kind of game is too much for a youngster like Nico. I say we win by a couple of scores.

-I think Tennessee losing to Arkansas was the dagger for their season, we should make Neyland our home once again.

-DJ Lagway should have a field day against that paper tiger Tennessee defense.

-Do we expect to see more blue in their **** hole stadium?

-This game scares me. We’ve recovered well from our slow start, but this kind of game makes you worry that this is Nico’s coming out party. Fingers crossed!

-This game is gonna be a war, Gators outlast them!

-Like their fans on Volnation, this Tennessee team is on the edge of implosion. Hope we blow those hicks out!

-Hopefully Butch Jones 2.0 never learns how to play to win. This will be our night in Knoxville. Go Gators!

-I don’t feel good about Saturday. It’s a night game and Neyland will be insane. I hope we can handle some adversity. Tennessee will not lay down.

-I hope Tennessee doesn’t turn around some things this week on the practice field. I still think they can be really good and it pains me to say that.

-Can we make minimal mistakes and overcome a hostile environment? Only time will tell my friends.

-I have always feared facing a team coming off a loss they shouldn’t have lost. Hope I’m wrong.

About time some opposing fans and media start to doubt us! We need this!. We've been too confident the last few weeks and have let the press clippings get to our head. Everyone has been telling us how good we are and shot us up the rankings. I think we got ahead of ourselves. Now, its time to admit our weaknesses, hunker down and work on getting better one game at a time.

I don't know how that's gonna have any effect on anything. We've been doubted in the past and sucked. Alabama has always been praised under Saban and yet kept winning. This idea that external noise has any effect on wins and losses is just not supported by any evidence.

Sometimes bad teams beat good teams. It's a reality of sports fans seem to always forget till it happens again.

There are many other programs outside of Bama to compare too. We haven't had decades of top recruiting classes in the nation. If someone isn't doing well, just swit v out one 5 star for another.

Many top teams have fallen. The pressure does build up. With our team it went from being a fringe top 25 team to having a Heisman candidate and being ranked and labeled as a top national title contender.

Butch Jones 2.0? The hell?

I mean, I know they're dumbasses down there, but seriously?
They like to pigeonhole, and they go to extremes. That's not a forum where you are going to see much constructive dialogue. It's an old fartsy community.

Funny how the Arkansas message boards were all sure Arky would get obliterated, whereas Florida fans seem very cocky and sure they'll win.

I was worried about the Arky game since Week 1 after seeing them play OK State. Just felt like they were much better than given credit for.

I think we'll beat Florida handily.

No one should be surprised they are confident. They are to us what we are to Kentucky. They beat us even when they shouldn’t, and after last week they are going to be even more confident of that. Hopefully CJH figures something out and we shut them up on the field

Seems they are confident for the most part.
Shouldnt they be? I would be.

The team ive seen last two weeks plays sound, fundamental defense (you ready for this, cause its a Tennessee standard), unless its against a mobile QB.

DJ Lagway will have designed runs, they'll incorporate misdirection, screens, and run the ball. All areas we struggle.

Remember 'Bubble Screen' Billy, earned that moniker versus TN.

Offense has gradually gotten worse. OL sucks. Sorry, guess i'm a nega ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like Hubbs says, until I see it against Florida. I'm not a believer.

I'd take the Gators and those points, at least til we learn how to hold a block and the QB learns that there was no time left on the clock. Then there is our playcalling too. I'd be very confident if i were Florida.

I think it's fair to have concerns about Heupel when you look at his history as a head coach and the issues we continue to be plagued by. It's clear he can't figure out how to attack the 3/3/5 defense that started with Tulsa. If he could, he'd have done it by now. What amazes me were the reported comments by our players that they were caught off guard by seeing it from Arky. I'd expect to see it from every team we face from here on out. The CEO is only as good as the guys he surrounds himself with. Heupel chose to hitch his wagon to Elarbee, Halzle and Martinez. Absolutely HUGE game for him this Saturday. Hope it works out for him.

Amazing what a win against Central Florida will do for your confidence. A team that got blasted by a mediocre Colorado team.
Uh...Colorado is 4-1 and playing pretty solid ball right now. It's possible they end up with a better record than we do. As for Florida, that's a loss until it ain't. I'm not expecting anything else in this game especially after what I witnessed vs Arky. Too many questions and no apparent answers available to this staff.
