So 1-1 v bama this year? With the win in atlanta?The key to 8 wins: don't slip up against anyone we should beat.
The key to 10 wins: go up to Pittsburgh and absolutely tear them up; then do the same down in Louisiana.
The key to 11 wins: sneak a march against either UGa or Bama. Preferably UGa, so we get a trip to Atlanta.
Go Vols!
I would counter by saying that was before the team quit on Dan. Florida seems to have mid to late season collapses a bunch. It's too bad we play them in September. They were 3 points away from beating Bama the week before,That’s partially the problem, sure. But again, our offense had just put up 138 points through 3 games going into that game, including 34 against a Pitt team that would have beaten the piss out of Florida.
And Notre Dame didn't belong on the same field as our baseVols. Every year folks pick, dissect and mock UF and almost every year we come away with a loss. Until this team/program actually wins that damned game, I don't give a squirt what any stat, reporter or website says about how bad UF is or how good we are.
They weren't bad when we played them.Y’all do realize that the problem with our inability to beat Florida is rarely Florida, right? It’s us. We forget how to play football that game every year.
Their defense was hilariously bad last year, and yet held us to our lowest point total of the season. We scored more on Georgia’s national championship defense than we did on Florida.
Just consider that when yall start talking about how bad they’ll be. That doesn’t seem to matter.
I think you'll get it, brother.We must not go into this game with Florida with the attitude, "We hope to win." We MUST go into the game with the attitude..............We are going to get this monkey off our back. We are going to beat Florida's azz this year if it is the last thing we do. Our offensive line will open holes an army tank can run through; our backs will run like they are playing for a national championship; our receivers willl catch every ball thrown close to them; our quarterback will play the best game of his life; our defense could beat anyone ! WE WILL BEAT FLORIDA AT LEAST TWO TOUCHDOWNS.................As a 75 year old UTM alumni I do not have many more years to wait and wish................I WANT A WIN THIS YEAR !!!!!!
This. Its actually the fans fault though.Y’all do realize that the problem with our inability to beat Florida is rarely Florida, right? It’s us. We forget how to play football that game every year.
