Heard some national radio guys who said that both teams weakest unit is the offensive line.
They said whichever Oline plays over their ability will win the game.

The national radio guy was non other than a special in-studio guest by the name of "Captain Obvious."

True.
But was surprised that they thought Floridas Oline is as bad as ours. Have they also had some injuries?

I am not sure about their injury situation, but I do know that their O-Line was definitely a weakness last season. Also, no disrespect intended OP, just couldn't pass up a good Captain Obvious post. :hi:

No problem, man. :hi:
It was funny.
I like those Captain Obvious commercials.
Besides, right now my mind is in a weird kind of pre game delirium since I have been obsessing about this game now for 364 days....actually, for 11 years....:unsure:

I think this is accurate information... completely agree.

The key to victory is recognizing that you are better than the other team on playing like it. Tennessee is the better team. Stop "hoping not to lose" and "expect to win". Completely different mindset that will absolutely affect the way you play.
Maybe that's why Florida has won games over the years when Tennessee was the better team.

One possible correction... I don't think UT needs to play above its talent level. I think they just need to finally play up to it this year. I think we have a very talented line that, for some reason--including injuries--has played down.

If UT's OL can get back to the level they were at last year, this game will be a walk for the Vols. If not, I fear we may be able to name each year of the streak after a tribe in Israel.

Chance Hall may well be the missing piece of the O-line puzzle. We shall see my friends. Stay thirsty.

Why is Tennessee the better team?

Why are they not? Injuries have leveled the playing field, but I think we still have the more talented roster this year. The UF defensive unit is a little better than ours is now, but I think that our offensive unit is much better than UF's plus the kicking game favors us, in my opinion. That's part of what is making this fanbase on a razor's edge. 11 in a row has a way of doing that. We have lost in every way possible over that time, and I don't think it would surprise anybody to lose tomorrow as well. The last 2 years, I think we have had the more talented team, but found a way to lose....so nobody is very confident until they see it happen.

As to the topic of the thread, I think it is accurate. Whichever Oline gets beat less wins the game.

I also think their Defense is overrated as they have played inferior opponents. I hope they go in believing they are as good as the papers say. We all know how that plays out
