I don't think we'll start slow. When we think about the last two seasons, I think we can see why we started slow. In 2018 we had a first year head coach, a horrible offensive line, and inexperience at certain positions. We also had JG at QB who was horrible and we also played a pretty good WV team that year.

Last year, we had JG, but we also were extremely inexperienced on defense. In fact, when we look at our defense, there wasn't anyone at LB or at DL who had started a game before if I'm not mistaken. And when we look back at that game, the defense had no clue how to even line up. Henry T made a bunch of freshmen mistakes and the DL was lost the whole game. Once they gained some experience and we got Bituli back, we settled down and started playing great.

We don't have that problem this year. We have experience everywhere. The DL is all back, Henry T leading from LB, juniors at corner, and we have experience at safety. On offense we have a very experienced and talented OL, especially when Cade's appeal is approved, and we have a lot of experience at QB and at RB. Even at WR, we have experience there with Palmer, Keyton, and Velus Jones.

So this year, unlike the last two, we have a lot more experience out there. We're not going to be out there confused not knowing how to line up.

But I hate to keep doing it, but you can't ignore it. It all comes down to quarterback. This team could go 8-2, or we could go 4-6. Depends on what we get at the most important position on the field.

Kentucky is our trap game. Only other thing I don’t like, is UF has 3 cupcakes leading into us.

Other than that, the schedule couldn’t of fell any better IMO.

Kentucky isn't going to be easy, but I'd be stunned if they beat us in Knoxville. But if KY is tough for us, they'll give Fl a game too right before Fl plays us.

We will have a competent QB by the time we play FL. If Jg ain’t it, Maurer or HB will have played more than a few games by then, and if the season is closer to 5-5 rather than 8-2, there would be nothing - nothing - better than ending the season with a win over FL in Neyland. Let’s ride!
