LSU at home in November? Whoa, Nellie!

 

[dduncan4163]

LSU on Nov 18? Damn that's weird

 

[dduncan4163]

South Carolina in mid Oct before Bama is weird as hell too.

 

[bigtime]

Mmmmm that first game tho. Pretty easy out of conference schedule.

 

[VolnJC]

LSU on Nov 18? Damn that's weird

Yeah but with UK, Southern Miss, and Missou before them...we will have 3 weeks to get ready for new LSU Coach Tom Herman.

 

[Iam4utalways]

Thanks for the info. Now I can plan my PTO!

Go Vols!

 

[VolForLife83]

I like that schedule. It's broken up nice. Rather have Florida later though

 

[LittleCat]

GT is a good game, being an old SEC team and rival.

UT once again has a very easy back end of the schedule. Not as easy as this year, but LSU sandwiched in between Mizzou and Vandy isn't terrible. And instead of a tough string of UF/UGA/Bama, you get easier games in between.

Spreading out those tough games is nice

Gt always worries me with regards to injuries

 

[VolinConcord]

I like the 2017 schedule better than this year's. LSU in November is really interesting.

 

[Rishvol]

Two straight years of the TSIO being on the TSIO?????

 

[Biopsyman]

LSU at home in November? Whoa, Nellie!

Owe them a beat down

 

[Shocker0]

Best schedule we could hope for really. For years it seems like we have four difficult games in a row against generally high ranking teams. This schedule divides it up nicely and at first glance it's hard to see more than two or three losses at most.

Kentucky is a month earlier! I foresee at least 8 wins. Biggest games: Florida, Georgia, Bama and LSU. Win 2 and it's still a decent season (10 wins). Take 3 and we're definitely in a major bowl! Would be nice to go into Bama undefeated (6-0)!

Ga tech will win the acc after they lose close to our Vols

 

[Vols_14]

We will start hella slow in that game

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I like it!

-- Spreads Florida and Georgia out better.
-- Puts Bama after the bye week (Oct 7).
-- Spreads the gauntlet out over 3 months, with LSU not until November.

Always gonna be tough going to Florida and to Bama, but that's an occupational hazard of life in the SEC that comes by every second year.

Yeah, this is about as good as a FL/Bama away year gets.

We played Oct 31 in 2015, and this season the 12th or 14th, something like that. Not quite a month earlier, although we use to play at the end of the season a while back.

 

[Creeker]

Ugh that GT game too start the year. Glad we will have all offseason to prepare for it.

 

[VolinDalton]

Super excited to see LSU at home!

 

[reeceb73]

I love it. Ga tech will be tough, but good way to start the season. Finally break up some of our toughest games.

 

[UTVolinExile]

Owe them a beat down

Yes we do. And if their QB situation next year is anything like this year, our defense will feast.
