We have the TEAM to beat Alabama

We absolute can win but I'm not optimistic we will. Ty is really good and I expect him to carve us up. Our only real chance is to make it a shoot out. We have the horses on offense but our defense has showed me nothing to think they can get off the field on 3rd down. If they can get a strip sack and a few ints we may have a shot.

We have a punchers chance and you never know with rivalry games. I don't expect a win but it won't shock me either. We shall see

He got smoked during GA but end of the day it was a learning experience and he continues to get it.
Next season he should be good and ready as long as he doesn't portal out LOL.

As he should because he was thrown the wolves as a freshman but this experience has been great for him.

He’s only getting better. We should do everything to keep him.

Doubt they can stop us on offense. Should be high scoring game.

Lol. Bama's defense is much better than what we faced against Arkansas and we were not up to par in that game. Us scoring a lot of points I think will be our only chance to win though. Bama will be able to run at will.

Yup. I was half way joking about the portal but in this era, you just don't know

We "should beat" Alabama is crazy. Real cra-crazy. Plain & simple. We do have a chance tho, they aren't dominating. A one point win will suffice. Onward and upward folks.

I’ve watched both teams all year, and Ty Simpson is a solid QB but he hasn’t played against a pass rush like ours.

Bama is not run dominant. That’s good because our rush defense is not good. Our offense is too good for their defense.

Football is like Boxing in that styles make fights. Bama doesn’t match up well with us imo.

I’m worried about referees in Tuscaloosa honestly. These referees need some accountability. In fair called game I like our chances in Bama.

But this year you don't have to be run dominant to run on us. I predict Bama will run more against us. Hopefully we can get this fixed. If we can pressure Simpson, and slow the run down we can win, unless Hype gets a lead again and slows the offense down.

Their defense wasn't a problem for us

We had a snoozer of an offense. The drive after the fumble recovery showed the offense wasn’t really into the game yet.

We should have scored 42-49 points easily. Just a boring offensive game that it felt like Heupel thought we could just run the ball over and over and get the game over as quick as possible.

But on flip side, maybe that was our dud game for Brazzell and Matthews.

We have to score 40 to even have a chance. Simpson will throw for over 300 yds. It would be a shock to win in Tuscaloosa

This is a rivalry game and not just any rivalry game. It’s the best rivalry in sports. If you think Tennessee’s defense is going to resemble anything we’ve seen to this date you’re out of your mind. Josh and Tim will be dialing up EVERYTHING to win this game. This is the game that matters, everyone knows that.

This is your worst take yet.

Ty Simpson will smoke us passing. You thought our run defense was bad, just wait until you see how bad he smokes us over the middle.

They win by at least 10. Yes, Simpson is that good.

Yes, we will bring pressure, but it will absolutely not be enough.

Yes, we lost against Georgia but we beat ourselves. It was clear that we were the better team and it's also clear that Georgia ain't all they're cracked up to be this season. I believe we're about to see just how good we truly ARE on Saturday. Ty Simpson wasn't tested against Georgia, but he was tested against unranked Florida State. Like Georgia, the weakness Alabama has shown at times throughout this season is not a fluke. We're the best opponent they've faced this season (because it sure as hell wasn't Georgia). Let's enjoy how it plays out. GoVols!

It will be a tough game. We’ll have to play our best game of the year so far. DeBoer is a good coach and they still have a top 5 roster in the country.

Our defense sucks and offensive play calling is not what we used to be. That being said I expect us to play the best game of the season against those overrated elephants.

The amount of smack talk from Bammers on social media is as much as I’ve seen in a few seasons.
I assume they feel like they’re invincible again. I hope like hell we beat them for that reason alone.
If there’s a silver lining here, overlooking a team as an easy W is a mistake. And it’s kinda got that vibe to it now. Just like when we overlooked SC
