Can we beat Miss St next year in Knoxville?

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Is this a winnable game in your eyes? I know they lose alot of talent and their QB but who do they bring back that will be a threat?

With a serviceable OL, we can beat 10 teams in the SEC and potentially upset 2 others.

 

[vol-un-tear]

You’re right- Iowa couldn’t beat a powerhouse like Vanderbilt either!

Hey the vols are a joke too. Maybe the two jokes can play each other again and make us feel better about ourselves. Just having fun with ya!

 

[Boca Vol]

Have we ever beaten a former head coach or coordinator with their new team? This is a serious question... I'm not counting Butch since he was just an "analyst" at Alabama, but the following coaches have beaten Tennessee in the last 10 years as a coordinator, since either leaving or being fired:

John Chavis (LSU and Texas A&M)
Lane Kiffin (Alabama)
Jim Chaney (Arkansas and Georgia)
Derek Dooley (Missouri)

Does Randy Sanders at ETSU count? LOL!...or Walt Harris at Pacific in 1990.

The problem is if we face a former coach or corordinator they left us in a real bad shape.

MSU QB very overrated

He's a helluva runner but a terrible passer, their back up (Keytaon Thompson) will likely be a better QB for them next year.

If it’s a replay of last time Iowa and UT played, I’ll pass! It’s all good, we’re all friends here right?

#OP, no... We can't even hire an OC. We won't win a game next year..

Summoning my inner catbone.. Did I do it right?

We beat Cheney in 2016 his first year at Georgia.

 

[bag12day]

I mean not really we play them next year you realize that?

Nope we play them this year
If its not too early for the OL to be in the weight room its not too early for us to be figuring out who we might beat.

 

[NEVolFan]

Maaaayyyybbbe, but

Winnable in Knoxville

 

[volfannbama]

Winnable in Knoxville

How come? I think we could easily make the arguments our best games this year were on the road.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Probably not.

Basically same returning cast on offense learning a new offense and a defense with a rebuilt D line.

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Which team has had the all-important benefit, extolled ad nauseam by Tennessee Fan throughout the month of November, of the extra practices that accompany a bowl appearance?

 

[MaTaLa]

We better improve dramatically if we are.

 

[mb1vol]

Dirk Koetter, Bucs Offense was not the problem. just sayin.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

They will lose most if not all of their NFL caliber DL to draft and graduation. QB gone but the replacement is very good.

We should take um in a hard fought game. A couple of splash plays by Chandler/WRs will be the difference.

 

[Rudy123]

If we can beat Auburn in their own stadium we can beat MS St in ours. We just need to develop more consistency and a better OL

If we can beat Auburn & Ky, we can end the season with wins over Vandy & USC too
However, it somehow didn't end up that way

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If they get beat by Iowa today I will be ashamed if we lose.

Lol. Sad.

Best case scenerio next season is 9 - 3 with losses to Bama, Florida & UGA
Likely scenerio is we get 6 wins. Four non conference wins and somehow manage to win 2 SEC East teams

 

[CountVolcula]

Yes

 

[vol-un-tear]

Lol. Sad.

I know isn’t it?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I know isn’t it?

Whats sad is how you think Iowa sucks and if we lose to them you would be ashamed.

They just lost to Iowa. We can beat them.
