Larry cannot seriously think this team is 5-7. I can't think of a reasonable scenario in which that happens. Unreasonable apocolyptic... sure.... but no way does that happen


Theoretically, but that is saying we get wins against

Georgia State
BYU
UAB
Chattanooga

and can only get one from: (My current winning % chances listed)
Florida - 40%
Miss State - 50%
KY - 70%
Vandy - 70%
Mizzou - 45%
South Car - 50%

I will not discuss
UGA

We'll learn more about BYU in 4 days, but last I saw Vegas had us at a spread that equated to a 60% win chance. That was with Gooden. Then Bryce, Bituli, who knows?

Just saying, byu is surely in that group of opponents that we have 30-70% win probability against. Though I agree UF deserves a bump to 40%.

If we go 5-7 the program will be one season away from being dead forever. Pruitt would need a huge season in year three, and if it doesn't happen, he and Fulmer are out on their asses, Haslams are back calling the shots, another bean counter will be installed as AD, and we'll get a head coach that makes us wish for Dave Doeren.

Well Larry thinks UT football will never compete for a championship again in our lifetimes, so 5-7 would be in line with that.

2 is not half. And expecting the record number of injuries we had under butch is silly.

Despite JGs flaws if he gets injured early and we’re relying on either backup 5-7 is very likely.

Fulmer will pull a Barry Alvarez before that happens.

We ain't losing 7 games, period.
Not even worried about breaking anything down because it's too ridiculous.

No freaking way any team gets an easier schedule and swaps Helton for Chaney, and walks away with the same record.

I am predicting 8-4 but would be happy with 7-5 as long as we don't lose to freakin Vandy again!

I’m not sure I’d put BYU in with those first 4. As far as the chances of it, I don’t think it happens but it is certainly a reasonable possibility.

Ah, the week before kickoff scaries. Where all the 15-0 posts are dwindling and negativity sets in. I think we are a 6 to 8 win team. We need to handle business where it needs to be handled and we should be bowling. BYU could be more of a test than people realize but I still believe we should win. UK, USCjr, Mizzou, Vandy we need to win 3 of those imo for a successful season. We are capable of winning them all and beating UF.

BYU was there more for the convenience of being able to say “1 win from these” but you could certainly just say “two from these with BYU” with them in that crew
