UGA is as one dimensional as us just the opposite in how they do it. They didn't realize it until the 2nd half against Clemson. There will be a time when they have to throw the ball & Gurley is always a play away from being injured.

And then Chubbs comes in...

We'll get both Mizzou and SCjr this year. We'll also take 1 of the 2, UF/UGA. UF's D will will be extremely good, one of the best in the country. UGA's offense is one dimensional when we play them, although Gurley is 1 of the best players around this year, better than I expected him to be. UGA's D cannot stop a decent team in the first half of a game, their new DC is good at adjusting at the half ala Clemson, but that first half they stunk it up against a Clemson team that graduated 80% of their offense. Defensively UGA is not a top 10 team.

USCjr unless they completely turn things around. I would feel more comfortable if we had em in neyland though.

Watch the Clemson game. Pretend we're even as good as Clemson. Then you'll see the future.

Previous games cannot be used as predictors of future games. I bet you had OSU beating VT didn't you? Clemson is nowhere near what they were last year. I wholeheartedly think we are as good as this years Clemson.

Either South Carolina (Least likely after last year I expect Spurrier to bring his a game and try to run up the score).

Or Mizzou (They lost a lot this year but they also have this streak going against us).


Least Likely Georgia
2nd Florida Florida Will Muschamp needs the win over us to remain employed.


I would consider at an Extremely successful year if we Won SC and Mizzou.

I would consider it successful progress splitting one between SC and Mizzou.

Losing all 4 would be really bad.

Winning all 4 would get CBJ a CoTY nomination.

As much as I hate to say it, @UGA seems like a very tough one to win especially with a healthy Gurly and Marshall and Chubb. We will see how our young team does on the road this weekend. Again, @Miss seems tough also, their D looks good and they look to be about where we will be next year. I would think it would be either @USCe (we will hopefully be better on the Oline by then) or Mizzou at home. Outside chance Florida at home, they have lots of talent but I think it will really be how they respond after Alabama....they could be down with a loss or have a hangover if they win.

Girly won't be healthy by our game. Bit their rbs are all pretty stout.

Our sixth win could come against anyone left on our schedule. We are inexperienced, but we also have some serious talent at our skill positions. If last year's team could beat South Carolina and come within inches of beating Georgia then this year's team is capable of even more as we are far more talented this year then we were last year. Additionally, our Senior Quarterback has improved immensely. Our O-line is currently a weakness due to youth and inexperience, but it will get better as the season progresses. Unlike last season when we had no shot of beating Oregon or Alabama, no one on our schedule is invincible. Wins over either OU or Alabama will be tough to achieve, but not impossible. OU was demolished last year by a Texas team that is no better than us, and Alabama struggled to beat a West Virginia team that went 4-8 last year. Georgia is looking good right now, but we took them to overtime last season. Florida is somewhat of an unknown, but given their coach's track record thus far I wouldn't bet against us pulling off an upset. Ole Miss looks like a tough team to beat, but they certainly didn't look invincible in their win over Boise State. Both Missouri and South Carolina have looked very beatable in their first couple of weeks. South Carolina in particular looks extremely vulnerable given the fact that we beat them last year; their team looks to have regressed since last year; and our team has shown significant improvement from last season.

We will know more after this weekend, but I personally think we will have little problem getting a 6th win. We might even eight! Yes, I may be a sunshine pumping, orange glasses wearing homer, but fan is short for fanatic. As a self-professed fanatic, I BELIEVE! Go Vols!
