We can't win this game tomorrow! Here is a reminder for anyone that's doubting that we have no chance to pull the upset Florida was favored by 18 in 01 at the Swamp. And what did UT do? Went down there and drained the Swamp. South Carolina last year in Athens. Georgia State says hello. App State still lives rent free in the Big House. Any given Saturday anyone can win. Just comes down to who wants it more! Attack, Attack, Attack always Attack! Go Vols!

Seriously? You're really comparing this 2020 team to the 2001 team that had like 15 NFL draft picks and was coached by a future hall of fame head coach? I admire your optimism but...Imma need you to relax just a bit!

Lmao. Not comparing. Relax. If you can't understand what I'm saying that's on you.

All I'm saying is the level of talent on that 2001 team was every bit as good, if not better than what Florida had that year. That was no "fluke" win because we reached deep down inside and played out of our minds. That point spread was ridiculous in the first place. We were really REALLY good that year! The talent gap between us and Georgia is monumentally wider than it was between us and Florida in 2001.

Pruitt has done a great job flipping this roster.

Regardless still an 18 point dog on the road. Wasn't comparing the two teams just saying it can be done ..... why must everything be a pissing contest in this group? We are all fans of the same team, but so many just want to belittle each other and find something negative in everything posted.

Not to that degree. Look we have some very nice pieces in place, thats for sure. But we are about 2 top 10 recruiting classes away from being anywhere near the level of talent that the 2001 team had.

Look I'm not saying its impossible to win the game. Obviously on any given Saturday it can happen.. All I'm saying is I dont think the 2001 Florida game is a good example to look to because we matched up very well with them. Football is about match ups and overall, we just dont match up well against this Georgia team.

Take your negative energy over to some other board, nobody here thinks Tennessee has much greater talent, but a lot of us think we have enough talent to win, maybe we won't but we gotta believe.

Lol I love how binary some of you are. Everyone is either a kool-aid drinking, orange colored glasses apologist or a hater who was never a fan to begin with. As if its inconceivable for someone to be objective and look at the situation for what it is and not what we hope it will be.

If this team lays it out there for 60 mins it will be a close game. They have the talent to play with the dawgs, they just have to execute. Defense has to come together tomorrow.

This. The offense does not have enough fire power to be in a shootout or come from behind too many scores.

Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

A lot of people on this board have short memories. I guess that's a good thing. Especially if you play CB. I appreciate optimism, but I'm a realist myself. We've lost 15 against Florida since that 2001 game. This Georgia team is one of the best in years, and JG is still our QB. I'm not hating. Just stating a fact.

Why don't we?

You're comparing our 2020 team to our 2001 team. But not Florida 2001 to 2020 UGA?
What are you measuring by? Guys that went to the NFL? Well, 2020 guys can't be there yet...

Why two top 10 recruiting classes away??

See people are so comfortable saying stuff like this without ACTUALLY breaking down a teams needs and understanding recruiting methodology and talent profiles.

Just watch today.
You'll see. We're not that far away from UGA at all...
