Tennessee @ Alabama 7:30 ABC

Kane Wommack's defense has been pretty putrid vs pretty much any type of spread offense at Bama so far. It's best performance might have come against Tennessee last year, and our offense largely stopped itself with Nico's terribly inconsistent accuracy and our allergic reaction towards scoring in the first half last year.

Unless Joey just has an awful game, I wouldn't be surprised if we beat Bama by 2-3 scores. Kane Wommack has no business being an SEC DC.

Did you watch Lagway against Texas this past weekend? He’s pretty darn good he’s just been hurt and rusty from missing spring practice.

He had 9 more yards and 4 more completions than Arch did....Florida didn't win because of Lagway, it was because of their line domination and running game

This actually isn't true

Just since 2000 to now, Tennessee's home record is:

48-2 at Noon/1pm

37-47 at 3:30/4pm

38-9 at 7:30 or later

this is kind of misleading because it doesn't really factor in caliber of opponent.

for instance our three toughest games every year on the schedule (Bama/GA/Fla) were ALWAYS 3:30 games. those late night games were mostly inferior competition.

Looking at SEC schedule for the 18th and the only game that I see that TV could consider a bigger matchup would be GA/Ole Miss. Think our game is still the bigger match up but TV makes the schedule so they get what they want.

CBS didn't have weekly prime time games. Their top game was the 3:30 window. Clearly ABC is using the night game for the most prominent matchup

Sometimes ABC selects the prime time game and one of those teams slips up five days later, making it no longer the biggest game the following week. Case in point Sept. 13 when Florida-LSU was huge on paper when game time was set 12 days prior, then USF beat the Gators in the Swamp, making our game with Georgia the biggest of the week. That’s why Gameday was here.

The biggest game is always the one Fowler and Herbstreit call (which they did vs Georgia after Florida-LSU lost its luster). For the 18th, I expect that be our game unless one of us loses this coming weekend.

It’s always hilarious when people say I post misleading stats. The poster made an incorrect statement and I posted the actual stats. It’s not misleading at all
