Change in Florida's offense for '21 could be trouble for UT

[BigOrangeMojo]

IMO, UT had a coaching advantage when Muschamp was there... and everyone knows my opinion of Jones. I just think Muschamp is truly that bad as a HC.

Maybe 2013....I will give you that but Butch couldn't beat Muschamp at USC...

UF's 2013 upperclassmen had been coached by Urban and Muschamp. UT's 2013 upperclassmen were coached by Dooley and Jones

At best, we had a tiny advantage in 2013

That's true.

There's no way Florida's offense is any where as it was last year.

They're in for a crash.

I try to read what our adversaries are doing in their spring camps and ran across this writeup from Scarborough at ESPN:



Might like the VOLS chances in a track meet, just gotta score points in bunches.


While we will have some opportunity to cut our teeth with Bowling Green, Pitt and TTU it is going to be tough to face a run happy offense as our first SEC foe. Even if the D-line is decent it will be so tough to contain a duel threat QB and our linebackers are going to be tested. I am just not sure we have the bodies to contain a zone read with a loaded backfield.

We aren’t beating Florida or Georgia and Bama for a very long time. Some fans on here need to come to grips with reality. Those games aren’t rivalries anymore either just annual beatdowns.

I don't need to do anything. You're post reads as stupid.

We're going to beat all three on the same day by 8 touchdowns. Guaranteed we don't let any of them even score. And if I'm wrong? Oh noes. Lol.

You and some of our other fans need to stop acting like it matters what anonymous people on a message board think of you because you inadvertently have failed in your intentions.

Weren't they like one of the worst rushing offense in America last year? Like they ran for 25 yards against us. They averaged less than 2 yards a carry as well.

If they do go that way, do they think they'll magically become an elite rushing team after being flat out terrible last year at it?

 

[peaygolf]

I Hate UF. Could care less what they do.

 

[Border Vol]

Any offense may be a problem for Tennessee this season.

I’ll never forget that 2012 game. We were ranked for the first time in ages, and we had began our season with a routing of a hyped up NC State team with future NFL’ers David Amerson and Mike Glennon.

Meanwhile, Florida had barely beaten a Texas AM team that was considered a bottom dweller having to start a freshman QB.

Gameday was in Knoxville, the streak was undoubtedly going to come to an end that day. I paid good money for tickets just to watch it happen.

As fate would have it, that NC State team was awful. That freshman Texas AM QB Florida had struggled with was future Heisman winner Johnny Manziel, and Florida was a drastically better team than us.

Another year, another heartbreaking loss to Florida.

They weren't drastically better in 2012. We had the ball and a 20-13 lead early in the 4th quarter. Gave up a couple of freakishly big plays on defense, led by mastermind Sal Sunseri

If Too'too n Crouch come back (hopefully) and we get a couple of good Lb and DT/DE transfers to come in i would bet literally anything on it that says them young men on the HILL have a CHANCE to beat FLA...I'm not into judging the team hearts/characters right now or even when game time comes with the Gators...#CANDO

Your take on Crouch and Henry T coming back tells us how much you are keeping up with UT football this spring.

They finished 11-2 and we finished 5-7. I agree we kept it close until late, but they were a drastically better team than us.

We gave up after about 6-7 games that season

probably not gonna happen due to the transfer announcement yesterday. HT was thinking he might have to sit out a year. So he may be kicking our azz the next two years.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

We don’t beat Florida

Until the middle of the 3rd quarter. That is when our offense turns on the juice and we pull away.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Could be more risky for Florida. If we somehow build a nice lead and they are force to abandon their running game to play catch up.

With the migration to the spread, they can't afford to get behind in games.

Change in Tennessee's Offense for '21 Could be Trouble for Florida.

I like the way you think! GBO!!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Florida will beat us like a drum yet again. It doesn’t matter who they have playing at what position. Florida completely owns us in football.

Mullen will do whatever it takes to score points and win football games. His first offense at UF was run-heavy and ran the ball very effectively because Franks was still very shaky at that point. As Franks got better, the passing game re-emerged. As Trask came on the scene, the passing game was so dominant UF didn’t even need to attempt to run.

Offense will always be fine for Mullen at UF.

 

[Orange defense]

LOL


The VOLS couldn’t even beat UF when Muschamp was coach. The sharkhumper even had a winning record against us.

Sharkhumper

 

[livefaith]

We don’t beat Florida

Now that's going out on a limb.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I thought this post was gonna be that Florida has already decided to start the backup for the Tennessee game, and thereby begin his Heisman campaign against us.

 

[GoodlettsvilleVol]

Yep we should’ve won in 2006, 2012,2014 and 2015 and maybe 2017 as well

Remember that play from the 2012 game where Bray completed a long pass to Derrick Dooley who spiked the ball on the sidelines?

Good times.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

I meant like.... ever.... speaking in general lol

The UF game has never been a rivalry since we started playing them regularly in 1990. The Bama rivalry is long dead. We actually have a few fairly recent wins against UGA so that still technically counts as a rivalry.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Just score more. Their defense stunk last year and Hype will have a field day.

Fwiw our DL should be our strength, so a running offense we should be happy with.

I think some fans are setting themselves up for some disappointment this year regarding our offense.
