Charlotte is a W.

Vandy
USCjr
Kentucky
Missouri

In order (T to B) is the likelihood of games we can win. I think Missouri is a terrible match up a team that struggles to create pressure.

I think vandy, SC, and Charlotte are good chances wins for us. Maybe we can clip Missouri or auburn, unlikely but there’s a chance.

How are we going to get a bowl?

We are 2-3 with Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, Mizzou, Vandy, South Carolina, Charlotte coming up ..... Where do you see 4 wins in that stretch?

Kentucky is playing lights out, Mizzou should of beat Georgia, Auburn will be tough and Alabama just isn't happening.

So that leaves Charlotte, USCe, and Vandy that puts us at 5-7.

Which teams do you see as possible upsets?

For the record I figured we would be 7-5 this year. I might have got that wrong guess we will see (I had us beating Florida)

Uk is good but I’m not gonna say we lose to them till we do, let’s see how they are in a few more weeks and we get them after uga, so maybe they’ll be beat up
After the bama game I think we have a shot to win the last five, will we, probably not but I think we can. Well I hope we can get 4 more, let’s say that

Yeah, Charlotte being a win goes without saying. They’re about as bad as UTEP.

Yeah and our coach is t Derek Dooley or butch jones. I will never concede a loss to uk. They suck and always will as far as I’m concerned. I live up here with all their inbred whitetrash fans and between them and Louisville, they all can suck my ****. F***kentucky!!!!

Yes! Never count the loss until it happens. Anything is possible when your way of being is that anything is possible.

We can win them all until we don't.

Lately UT seems to produce a bunch of guys who don't do much in Knoxville but end up getting drafted and/or being UDFA and making NFL teams and producing. Look at Jason Croom, completely mismanaged his entire career and now he's catching TD's on Sundays for Buffalo. Alvin Kamara was a backup to Jalen Hurd for a couple years and now he's one of the best RB's in the NFL. Plenty more examples.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Callaway was drafted in the later rounds next year, starts for an NFL team, and has a nice career. Same with Taylor, Bituli and Warrior (whether they come out early or wait another year.). Thunder5 is spot on.

I think Warrior starting for NFL team would be a miracle. He can't cover and he definitely tackles like a girl.

Focus on the end result and you’ll never get there.

This team is improving believe it or not. Pruitt had to start at the absolute basics. And by basics, I mean this team didn’t even know how to handle workouts like a winning program. Much less basic fundamentals and staying focused for an entire week of practice and not going through the motions.

We have just as much a shot at making a bowl as we do winning 3. Everyone on our staff, especially Pruitt knows he will be judged by wins and losses. This year is ugly but nobody following this program expected anything but growing pains.

Be encouraged this team is losing because of fixable missed assignments or flat out lack of talent. You can nit pick all you want but the game plan had this team in the game against #2 on the road halfway through the 4th. That’s progress for this roster.

Stoops is winning with a roster of 2* and 3* players and walk-ons, with some younger 4*. But they play physical and have a clear will to win. The players do their jobs and play hard as a team. The Vols could do all of those things, too. Missing assignments, tackles and blocks and not capitalizing on opportunities to make big plays are all fixable. The Vols are capable of playing smarter, better and tougher and if they do, we can win some of those Nov games-- and maybe an Oct game, too. If the team needs motivation, surely avoiding another loss to Vandy and avoiding a loss to UK in Neyland for the first time in 34 years will light a fire.

Stoops has UK playing tough football. Butch Jones had us playing finesse football for the last five years. 9 times out of 10, tough football will beat finesse. Muschamp is not a great coach, but that’s why he had Jones’s number every time. Pruitt just isn’t through shaking off all the finesse yet. I think he will. We’ll always have a good chance vs. UK, but as of right now they should be favored.
