    Do you feel confident...

    QD certainly has all of the physical tools to be successful in the SEC. We know about his arm talent, and he is deceptively athletic. But if Dobbs was to go down, could QD handle the mental aspect of the game? As a QB, it's one thing to understand your reads and know the gameplan, but being...

    Breakout Player On Defense?

    Probably deserves its own thread, but relevant to the conversation. Writer lists DKJr to a national "All Breakout Player Team." College football's best 2016 breakout player candidates. | Sports on Earth

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    EXACTLY! lol thank you. This is precisely what I'm referring to. "Just beat Florida. Only thing that matters" - or some version of that - is in EVERY THREAD.

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    Trust me, I'm no sunshine pumper that's perpetually optimistic. This is the first year that I've claimed we could/should win against them in a long time. Last year, I predicted we would be around 8-4 or 9-3 with potential losses being OK, UF, UGA, Bama. I tend to be a pretty realistic fan - or...

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing. I'm not turning a blind eye to the streak, and I'm not suggesting the guys do that either. You're right, it has to be acknowledged. And certainly a win against UF would mean infinitely more than a win against somebody like Virginia Tech. All I'm...

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    No, I'm claiming we should win. Like I originally said, I honestly think we beat them handily this year. However, College Football is a crazy game played with an odd-shaped ball that can bounce any which way. My belief is that if we played this UF team 10 times next year, we win the majority of...

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    These guys are high level SEC athletes. They are confident and driven young men. They believe they can win any time they step on the field. They don't let that doubt creep in their mind like fans do. Because if you do that as a competitor, you've already lost. I've been on the wrong side...

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    That's exactly my point. YES the Jrs and Srs remember those games. Does that somehow mean they are going to prepare less for this game? Or that they will play terrible? No. And yes - I claimed we should win barring injuries or other anomalies. So many fans have the mindset "I'll believe we...

    Breakout Player On Defense?

    Lots of good answers ITT. I'll add to those picking DKJr. Apparently he's done very well this offseason in the strength and conditioning program. We all know how athletic he is and how well he can run, but he's been able to change his body and add some good weight/strength. Remember, he was...

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    Everyone in the football program is well aware of the streak, but it doesn't affect the players, coaches, or support staff. The media and fans are the ones who let things like that get to them. I played ball for a Power 5 team that hadn't won a bowl game since '49. I was a part of the...

    Vols Are "Most Experienced Power5 Team in the Country"

    So many of you suffer from Battered Fan Syndrome. Yes, Florida has had our number for more than a decade. But none of those games has any bearing on Team 120. Barring injuries or some unforeseen disaster, we will beat UF by 10+ this fall. We return 17 starters. We have talent and speed on...

    Rod Speaks, "No longer feeling like a rookie".(Video) A VN Classic

    Just curious - what's the deal with the Rod Wilks threads? I'm still relatively new to the board... Rod and I graduated the same year, so I grew up playing against him. I know him pretty well. Me and him went at it ever year in football/basketball starting in middle school.

    '17' TN ATH Tee Higgins (Clemson commit)

    From an article posted on 247, Tee spent time with Josh Malone and Maliek Gray. I also remember reading somewhere that he spent time with Guarantano and that the two seemed to get along really well. Just so happens JG was the one that committed via Bleacher Report video. Since he apparently...

    Nope. However, the mods nuked his first thread about Tee announcing to Clemson. Troll just started a 2nd one.

    '17' TN ATH Tee Higgins (Clemson commit)

    Nah. As someone else just pointed out on VQ, the OP has over 2000 posts and only 36 likes. Multiple posters pointing out that this guy is a known troll.
