Take your kids to see their grandparents as much as possible. My Dad has cancer now and it’s hard to take our son to see him because of Covid and just regular germ season beginning. Don’t take those visits for granted.
Sorry to hear that about your Dad. Good advice about visits. Will pray for your Dad.
 
Basically, the AP poll had us fooled.

Kentucky is bad. They’re likely about to start the season 0-5. They should’ve never been ranked (this is something literally every Tennessee fan could’ve told someone months ago)

Auburn shouldn’t have been higher than 20-25 to start out and probably shouldn’t be ranked after that s**t show of a game today. Their line of scrimmage is awful and they’re really missing Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson. And I know they beat Kentucky 29-13 but they did have to get bailed out of one touchdown, along with just getting lucky on some prayer throws.

Tennessee can and probably will run through both of these teams when they play. Not saying they’re for sure blowouts but we’ll control the LOS and could win big if we play our best ball.

Georgia won’t see another offensive line as good as the one they’ll see next week (and that includes Alabama). Their defense looks good but the offense was playing a very mediocre secondary and a young front 7 with 2 guys MAX that would start if they played here.

Idk who wins next week but thinking that game is gonna be an easy win for Georgia is just idiotic. I’m confident in Tennessee’s ability to win. And just to be honest.. I don’t think we’ve fully opened up the playbook yet. Our offensive game plan the first 2 games has been very basic and not like Chaney was doing toward the end of last season.

If Tennessee goes out and lays an egg, that’s a bad sign for this coaching staff. But that’s not going to happen. They’ll be prepared. Georgia fans are gonna spend the whole week on cloud 9 thinking this is an easy win, and maybe even the team will end up doing the same like they have been the past 2 years.

Anyways thanks for coming to my 2:00AM ted talk. Go Vols. 🍊

Nah, good post and I agree. Add Vandy, Arkansas and A&M with Auburn and Kentucky as games I think UT will more than likely win.

Good post. I actually agree about the play calling, on both side of the ball. It just seemed very vanilla the past 2 weeks.

Next week will be interesting....I still think we have yet to put our full squad out on the field and are missing some critical pieces. Another week of practice with the full squad and I think you get Tn’s best next week. CJP‘s teams seem to play well on the road.

GA on the other hand is very good. However, it is tough to get up for two games in a row (MSU) and they get bama the following week.

I like how it is set up.
 
I look for Pruitt to dial up some stuff for Bennett. Remember when Auburn 2 years ago was a guaranteed loss or how we played Bama last year even. I don’t think we’ll get blown out. We can run the football and this game still comes down to who can run the ball and who can stop the run.
It will be a necessity to get pressure on Bennett when he drops back to pass. We will have to play very disciplined on defense. If we can get consistent pressure on him, we will be right there at the end.

I’m going to stick with my prediction from after our game today, although I never expected Georgia to look that good on offense. We WILL go to Athens and beat Georgia by 10+.

Next week will be our statement game that says the Tennessee Vols ARE BACK!!!
 
We need more size out on the edges. Explosive size.

Think Kivon Bennett quickness in a 6’5 265lb frame.
I think Kivon and Deandre might be able to wreak havoc on Bennett off the edge. Georgia is big, but they are slow. Bennett is so quick. Unless Georgia helps at both ends, I think we can get to Bennett off the edge and force things.
