Agree and hate me. Disagree and hate me. Florida looks like I am watching another league.
Georgia over O that much.???

I thought our guys looked small this year.

7-5 with lots of PT for backup Qbs on big wins and the rest of the team getting swole and ready for next year seems like a reality hope for me.

7-5 is realistic until Tennessee can prove they can beat anyone.

I don’t hate you but its really ignorant to go here already. Georgia and Florida were both playing better teams in bigger games. Tennessee literally showed nothing, we were completely vanilla. As far as you thinking we look small, that’s laughable. I’ve seen this team the past two years, they’re much bigger and physically ready this year it seems. If you’re comparing to Bama then that’s again on you. 7-5 maybe where we end up but it’s dumb to evaluate a team that didn’t open the playbook at all.

If you actually watched the game and not the scoreboard against Ball State you would already know a lot about this team. We’re soft on the OL and slow on the DL. That formula doesn’t work in the SEC

So, you DON'T believe the Heup?

Here's my problem with what you just said: Even if your analysis of both lines is correct (I doubt it, but.....), you don't know just how good or bad Ball State is.

The difference between last year's team and this year's team in all spots sans OL and Passing was obvious. Evan's, Butler's, Taylor's and Jackson's absences are clear in their respective positions. We couldn't even sack a Ball St. QB, they put up 270 yards in passing, and we didn't have a 100 yard rusher. Florida is going to beat us IMO. I thought people thinking 9-10 wins were drinking the way too early to tell Kool aid, but how in the world anyone still has that expectations after watching these games is surprising to me. Hope you are right though. We shall see.

Yes we miss Butler no doubt. But it’s hard to sack a QB when he is throwing the ball in 2-3 seconds. They had designed quick outs and 2-3 step drops. The INT was forced due to pressure on the QB. Yes we didn’t get any sacks but we had 7 QB hits/hurries.

Also you say we didn’t have a 100 hard rusher. Reason for that is because we had 11 people run the ball. Wright averaged 6.8 yards a carry and small averaged 4.8. We had 218 yards rushing as a team and passed for 351.

You know who else didn’t have any sacks yesterday? Alabama, does that mean they are a bad team? They only had 3 QB hits. Does that mean they gonna lose 6 games to.

Also Bryce Young only had 195 yards passing, does that mean he forgot to pass the ball? I think everyone is over reacting to 1 game. The Vols offense is better than it was last year, and the defense just has to be average. Florida is gonna be decent, but I think we beat them.

∆∆∆this all day∆∆∆ Tennessee played as vanilla as it could and stomped a team it should have stomped. Pitt game we will see a bit more from the defense.

I think the concern is the defense, especially the DBs and lack of a pass rush. Teams are going to have a lot of success throwing against us. If the offense isn't clicking on a particular day, we will lose.

I still think we win 8 games, but we are going to have to win some shootouts.

Bama didn’t have any sacks either but is their defense a concern then?

Pitt, UF, LSU, UGA, BAMA and maybe even a split with UK and USC.

Pitt looked liked dog sh!t, Bama had had many sacks as our defense did, Kentucky is not beating the Vols. Hell they couldn’t beat the Vols on their home field last year, what makes you think they going to in Neyland this year. LSU is in its 1st year as head coach. And UGA is a good team but Oregon made them look better than they are. Bama and UGA are the most likely ones. But Pitt , UF and Kentucky are games that the Vols can win.

Unfortunately, OP is correct and 6-6 is not out of the question. We are an average team in a league full of superior talent.

I agree they can win but on the flip side those are games we could lose. Kentucky has a quarterback that Can beat us down the field is why I say we could lose against them. If the defense could produce better and get off the field 3rd down at like 65% of the time it would be great. Defense is bad we look like a big 12 team good offense and no defense.

Thanks for the detailed response. Response inside your quotes:

The first interception by MAC, yes.

Yeah... wright started looking aiight. Did you cringe?

Much better competition. Apples and oranges.

I hope you are right. I'm still sticking to 7-5 unless I see something different, and by doing so I won't be angry if that's what we achieve as long as there are more answers for next year than there are this year.

Nope. Tell me what is it about Florida that makes you think they are better than TN. Is it Richardson? So far from what I have seen of him. he has one great game then a game that leaves you scratching your head. Hooker is a proven consistent quarterback every game. For now I would take Hooker over Richardson until Richardson proves that he can produce on a consistent basics. Also I think everyone is underestimating the impact of coming from 15% humidity to playing in that sauna they call a football field. There is a reason beyond compacting the footing that they water the crap out of that field before every game. With it sitting below ground level it is brutal this time of year.

For me it was the eye test. Which is wrong all the time. Lol

Regardless of competition, they didn't have any sacks. Utah State had a sack against Bama, and UCONN had a sack against Utah State. What mental gymnastics will you do to reconcile those stats?

That's funny actually. Based on that, my prediction is SEC will not be in the championship 🤣

No, sunny who I originally quoted. He spent all day yesterday in two threads slobbering over how Georgia and Florida were the greatest things in the world, and we'd never be them. Our coaches suck, players suck, recruiting sucks, basically anything Tennessee is horrible, and he'd get all mad if anyone said any negative thing about Georgia, or Florida. He's the biggest Vol fan out there though!!
