No.Do we still finish 7-5 then?
Wow. "Outlast" Pitt? IMHO, it will be a bad sign if the Vols do not monkey stomp Pitt. They lost a ton at WR and lost the QB who basically turned the game last year. I don't think their D can stop UT's O.No.
8-4. We still have the 5th hardest schedule in the country.
Getting Dixon was huge. Like Hendon's transfer, or signing Bryce Thompson 3 months after NSD.
This added talent with a defense returning a bunch of guys that played will make a huge difference.
I think we outlast Pitt now.
Toss up with LSU, UGA, and losses to Bama and Gators.
No.

If our defense is top 30 we are going 10-2.No.

To me, he got beat more times while appearing to be in position than anyone I've ever seen. He could be in a guy's shirt and they'd reach around him to catch the ball.
I honestly don't know what it is with him but I hope he fixes it. I have very little doubt that he's going to look like a starter in practice. Hopefully that's good... but it could be bad until someone shows more in games. Fortunately unlike the QB position, guys get subbed in at CB.

Yeah.Loss to Florida but Georgia is a toss up? Huh?
Absolutely! Agree it will be fun.Wow. "Outlast" Pitt? IMHO, it will be a bad sign if the Vols do not monkey stomp Pitt. They lost a ton at WR and lost the QB who basically turned the game last year. I don't think their D can stop UT's O.
Interesting that you think LSU and UGA on the road are toss ups but that UT loses to Bama and UF at home.
Gonna be fun for someone to revisit this prediction.
I don’t understand the love for Pitt nationally. Lost QB and one of best wr in country. Unless you’re Bama or Clemson or UGA talent elsewhere without a known commodity at qb…just don’t see it. Think SC could be tougher if their qb is legit. Generally I think we are under rated because people want to see more than one year …think we beat lsu, UF with losses to Bama and UGA and probably a slip up loss somewhere with SC or KY.No.

might be 3rd deep?What about McDonald in the rotation in the D backfield? He has played some snaps for 2 years. Does anyone have details on his development?
Yeah.
And UGA will probably beat Florida...which has nothing to do with UFs dominance over UT.
Just like UK beat the gators in Gainesville...finished 10-3 beating Penn State a top 15 team at the time...but couldn't even best a 5-7 Tennessee team. We have their number. Gators have our number until further notice.
I hear Bumphis has slimmed down and might play SDEI've been watching Theo Jackson's plays from 2021, and I can't but think Jaylen McCullough would thrive in the role. He's not a deep cover safety imo and he needs to be in the box. The more I look at the the new athletes on the team, the more I feel like we need that on the field now. And Tank is a good player. He had 50 tackles and 3 ints last season
At STAR i think he would have like 70 tackles 4 ints and 3 sacks!
My staring Lineup is
SDE Barron 6'5 265
DT Bumphis 6'3 300
DT Thomas 6'4 310
LEO Young 6'3 245
SLB Mitchell 6 '2 230
ILB Banks 6'1 230
STAR McCullough 6'0 210
CB Hadden 6'1 195
CB Charles 6'1 190
S Flowers 5'11 200
S Turrentine 5'11 195
( 5 In-State guys)
I really like the skill and speed of this starting unit.
Beasley and Burrell will probably start the season but will gradually give way.
