Florida favored by 8

There would have to be a couple of pick sixes cause I'm not sure their offense can score 8 points based on what I saw. Even with our questionable defense.

As a die hard Vol fan for many years there is one thing I know...when teams break in new qbs against us they always seem to have record breaking days. Calloway will stretch our secondary. Let's just be honest. Our defense isn't that good. I'm not hating on the kid bc he went to a school here in Chatt but Colton Jumper is too slow on drag routes and will get ate up in SEC play.

None of the suspended players are going to play against Tennessee. Plus the Vols now have the real deal Calloway.

I have been preparing for the storm for days. I will be in a bathroom waiting for this storm to pass over.
Your post really angered me at first but I appreciate that you came back and tried to make it right.

Let's hope that everyone makes it out okay and that the Vols beat the Gators on Saturday.

I heard that man. I was not talking about us regular folks, home town simple people. I was referring to the people you see on the news, surfing in the middle of the hurricane. The ones that go down to florida for a cheap thrill.

You guys that do not have a choice but to stay due to family or monetary reasons amongst other reasons and actually do have to fight the storm, I personally have a great deal of respect for. 👍

Again, no harm was meant towards you brother, i should have been more specific lol.

But anyways, you guys and gals down there PLEASE be safe. Will have you in my prayers.

The usual contingent of "we can't beat Florida" VN troops are marching beak to tail touting once again how we can't beat the gators. We've scored 11 offensive TDs this year to their zero, their defense was gashed by Michigan on their right side all day for about 7 ypc. Vols win again this year, new streak starting, we're 2-0 going into 2018 with the gators.

Coach Doug Matthews said we have not really seen our defense yet. For the 2 games, we played 3 linebackers instead of our normal 2, we only blitzed 4 times in 2 games, and the corners were coached to stay away from press coverage because neither team was going to pass much and we didn't want to get surprised by a deep pass. He says the yard stick will be Florida.

This is basically like the first game of the year for both teams...due to our opponents we don't know what we have in UT (Defense in particular--hope Shoop was and sandbagging). On the Gators side, with so many suspended for the first game, hard to get a read on them. I am sure their QBs are not world beaters, but the fighting Harbaughs are a solid team, particularly on D...looking more and more like his Stanford teams...they will win the Big10, book it. All that said, I got the feeling we'll need at least one special teams TD to win.

DONT YOU BELIEVE THAT..........we ARE who we ARE and that is ATROCIOUS on defense, did you not see that we gave up over 275 total yards to an FCS team and they could have scored on a couple of plays if they had NOT got in their own way......besides CBJ can't win vs a team that he is NOT favored against and McElwain will coach circles around him...........YOU WATCH !!!

Here is how it ends. The score will be 2-0 Tennessee with 5 seconds left and Fla has no timeouts left with the ball at Tenn 5yd line and the clock is running and Butch calls a timeout so Fla can set up for a FG and win 3-2

What's bad is how easily I can picture this actually happening
