A few things that concern me:
Getting caught up in the moment. Seniors and leaders are key to keep our young guys mentally focused.
Up and down pass rush. At some point Tennessee has to put it together for 4 quarters. Don’t get washed out and create a lane for an explosive play.
Coverage. Tennessee cannot have breakdowns late. Yes, Florida will get some plays in the passing game but no one should be running wide open.
LB play. Can Tennessee play well enough consistently to spy and not get caught on their heels. He may be lacking confidence but a few plays can change not only his mindset but the entire offense.
WRs: Tilman will either be out or limited. Who’s the guy that fills those shoes. Bru certainly has the talent and there’s no better stage than Saturday afternoon. Squirrel can carry some of it but youth may play a factor.
RBs: Wright, Small if he’s full go, and Sampson. They know Hooker can run so who’s going to make Florida respect them enough to open up the passing game. The option we saw against Akron is a good thing to have in your pocket but someone has to be ready to earn the tough yards.
Punting: it’s come to the point I have to look away and hope it’s clean. I don’t know if it’s a blocking issue or an urgency issue. If Napier wants to change field position in a blink the block is there almost every time and he should make Tennessee prove they can block.
Coaching: most of us know CJH can get it done but when does it come together in all 3 phases? When will a Tennessee HC get over this hump consistently? As someone pointed out their roster is full of freshmen and sophomores. If not now when will Tennessee get there?
49-21 Vols
Even being in the T10 the media still knocks us for beating a weak Florida team

And of course she tried to talk about everything other than the game/football. This was especially hard for me during the 1st qtr. However…a rivalry game like this was probably not the best to explain the game to someone who doesn’t know football.
