Will this be the first Vols team to lose 8 games?

[YankeeVol]

I never thought it'd happen. But after these last 2 weeks, I'm not so sure. It's not as if the schedule is getting easier

 

[vol4eva]

It's a real possibility, and a 4 win season is about the worst thing that could happen to Butch in his first year.

 

[utkell65]

It's really hard to watch this offense, but I still think we'll find a way to win 5.

 

[mreed90]

May not win another game period.

 

[jimallvol]

If we can't get no QB play we will be damn lucky if we don't lose every sec game

South Alabama and MAYBE Kentucky. Staring 4-8 straight in the eyes

 

[LA Vol]

Too early to tell, but it's possible. We're not playing better than Auburn, Mizzou or Vandy, so those could be a push. UK is putting up a lot of offense, and we play in Lexington. Last time we played there, they beat us with a WR filling in at QB. We'll get better as the season progresses, but the other teams will, too. We have the worst QB play in the SEC. We shouldn't overlook any team on our sked.

I honestly believe we have the dumbest fan base in America.

4-8 may be a bit optimistic at this point, we have equal chance to finish 3-9.... don't forget, we play Kentucky on the road

 

[lukeneyland]

Ridiculous thread! We've lost twice in back to back road games to marquee opponents, so now that means were going to lose to the bad teams many of whom haven't played nearly as tough of a schedule that we have to this point! Step off the ledge

It's 50%-50% that we go 4-8 right now. Our seasoned OL is playing like absolute rookies, I watch "leaders" like Jacques Smith just get blown off the ball or totally out of position, our RB and WR are well below SEC caliber on play after play. I don't see where the spark will come from that will improve the team above 4-8.

It WILL be interesting to see who stands up this week and asks for Peterman to start a game for us.

Very real possibility

Only post I've made today and I'm gonna use it to agree with you.

That was hardly a marquee opponent. I would be surprised if they finish in the top 25

I pushed the quote button filled with righteous indignation.........Ultimately I blame Freak and the first amendment for precarious situation of arguing against your point.

 

[UTK]

I think we will win 6. We will improve as the season goes on.

 

[SandoVOL]

Possibly?

 

[General Jack]

Need a "strong possibility" option. I can't bring myself to give a definitive "yes" that we will lose 8 games, but I'm worried it could happen.

It is a fact that we have a lot of fans that know nothing about football.

the fanbase makes me ashamed

It could be the 1st team to lose 8 games as well as the 1st team to lose 9 games, there's allot of football left, so don't give up.

Doubt it. 5-7 is expected. South Alabama, Kentucky and Vanderbilt are wins in my book. I think we should beat Missouri. SC or Georgia could trip.

 

[cd12]

Closer to 8 losses or 8 wins?

 

[JACK8254]

It could happen- say Worley gets hurt. Mo and Auburn look like likely losses after today. Still, they played hard the whole game, give them credit. The O line has been underperforming or else they are overrated.
